Watch Taylor Swift Learn How to Cheer

You have probably seen (and danced to) the music video for Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off,” where she awesomely tries her hand at cheerleading. Now, we have a behind-the-scenes look at the pop star learning the ropes. In true Taylor fashion, she had a blast with it. “I just have done a million basket tosses, and I’d never done one before this shoot, so it has been the most exciting thing,” Taylor said. “It’s really terrifying to know you’re going to be thrown up in the air, but they always catch me, so that’s good.” Nothing like good bases, right? Taylor explained that “Shake It Off” is for people who don’t feel like they fit in. She has recently learned that you can get anything you ever wanted in life and still not feel like you fit in. Her success makes her feel “proud,” but not “cool,” she said. The good news, according to Taylor, is that fitting in isn’t the most important thing in life. You have to dance to the beat of your own drum and have more fun than the people who fit in. Judging by this outtakes video for “Shake It Off,” Taylor is doing just that.
