Taylor Swift's new single - Shake It Off


Today on a live stream on Yahoo! Taylor Swift made her big announcement and shared 3 secrets. She announced that her new album 1989 (the year she was born) will be released October 27 and she performed and released the music video to her first single from the CD, called "Shake It Off."

There were some pop songs on her last CD, but this is her first official pop CD coming out in October. I've been a Taylor Swift fan since I was 13 or 14 and have loved seeing her develop as an artist. I miss her country stuff but I also think she's grown a lot as a singer and performer. I'm a major fan of the new single. What do you think?




It's available now on iTunes and you can pre-order her new CD too!
