Curator's Note

Interpretation

Shake It Off is the album's most empowering — 'say what you want, I'll shake it.' Empowered, silly but it works.

I sway every time: so many get talked about, few can shake it. That 'no explanation, just spin' energy is her bluntest reply to everyone being picked apart.
