Last week, everyone's favorite pop star Taylor Swift dropped a bomb on all of us when she released the video for her surprise single, "Shake It Off." Now she's shared a clip of outtakes from the very same video.
"Shake It Off" has been received largely well because, naturally, we LOVE Taylor Swift. Having said that, many have spoken out about how different the sound of the single is from her past hits.
But, maybe that's not necessarily a bad thing.
In the below outtakes video, Swift shows off her cheerleading skills and takes fans through the step-by-step process of the choreography –– outfits, basket tosses and all! Which she claims was incredibly difficult. In her defense, three days of straight cardio does sound horrifying.
We're then taken through a roughly four-minute long behind-the-scenes look at the making of "Shake It Off" comprised of interviews with both Swift and choreographer Tyce Diorio, who calls her "fearless."
"She's so ready and willing," he says. "She just shows up to every moment. And that, for me as a choreographer ... it's just so refreshing."
Check out the video below. Though we'll warn you, it's not so much an "outtakes" video as it is a behind-the-scenes glance. But hey, who cares?
On the song, the star is rather candid in the clip, saying, "A lot of people who I think will relate to this song are people who are dealing with not ever feeling cool with themselves because other people make them feel like they don't fit in. One thing I learned in this whole process is you can get everything you want in life without ever feeling like you fit in."
The "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" singer admits, "Selling millions of records doesn't make me feel cool. It makes me feel proud," adding, "I don't think it's the most important thing in life ... to fit in. I think it's the most important thing in life to dance to the beat of your own drum and to look like you're having more fun than the people who look cool like they fit in."
