Taylor Swift just released her official music video for "Shake it off" from her album "1989" and a lot of people think it is full of awkwardness. Critics spoke about Taylor's attempt to show off her not so gracious dancing moves in the video. Clever music featured Taylor's incredible awkwardness stating, 'seeing Taylor twerk and shake her nonexistent booty pretty much speaks for itself in the awkward dancing meter. '
The video featured Taylor attempting to perform ballet, hip hop, contemporary, and to no success. The video gained a lot of hater comments from the social media. Taylor has been receiving remarks not only from her genre shifting slowly to a different direction but also the issue about her relationship problems, though some critics are quite thankful that "shake it off' is far from her issues with boys.
This is Taylor's fifth studio album called "1989" following the success of her last album. Taylor conveyed that she was positive that she doesn't need to jump to a new style of music but later realized that they are ending to a different path. Taylor mentioned that after the release of her "Red" album, the Grammy nominated artist sensed the need to change her style. Many critics think that the Taylor Swift's genre-shift may mean her approaching sell out status. Rapper Earl Sweatshirt criticized Taylor's hypothetical racism twerking scene stating, 'perpetuating black stereotypes to do the same demographic of white girls who hide their prejudice by proclaiming their love of the culture.'
Taylor Swift just seems to be playing along with all her awkward moments and supporters emphasized, 'that is the whole point of the video.' Humor can be taken a lot from her video and fans are positive about it. Swift's may top in the awkward meter but results seem to be fairly well. The "Shake it off" video received over 10 million views overnight.
