Shake it off — Swift style

"I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I shake it off, I shake it off," These are the lyrics stuck in everyone's head the past month or so... it's Taylor Swift's mega hit "Shake it Off." Of course, Taylor's hit isn't warmly welcomed into many people's musical minds. Her hit, like most of her others, is greeted with people groaning and grunting about "how it annoying she is."

OK, it's fine to not like Taylor Swift — you can not like whomever you want. But, what bugs me is that people write her off as this blonde bimbo who dances and sings annoying songs about her ex-boyfriends. People constantly criticize her for dating a bunch of guys and then writing songs about them. What's wrong with that? She's channeling her emotions and energy into music, which happens to be her CAREER, and she makes money from that. How is that different from writers writing poems about their epic love tales and break ups?

Taylor's music can be a little too poppy for me sometimes, but it's great cruising with your windows down kind of music or dancing in the kitchen while you clean kind of music. I feel as if people forget she's a person, too. She's a young woman who dates, likes cats, loves baking and stays out of trouble — unlike many other Hollywood stars.

Love or hate Taylor Swift... it doesn't really matter, but stop criticizing the shit out of her just because she writes bubbly songs, bitching about her ex-boyfriends. I know for a fact that some of those people who are complaining that she's annoying because "that's all she does" are the ones who won't shut up about the guy or girl who they just broke up with.

Shake it off, ya'll.
