Neither Rihanna nor Katy could beat Beyoncé in the level of performing so I'm not really excited.
Rihanna could do decently though, as far as Katy goes, I hope she's visually pleasing like most of her performances are because she'll need something to fall back on.
She’s a gifted writer, but Shake It Off doesn’t show off her talent. Lyrically, it expresses lazy sentiments like “haters gonna hate”. Lines like “You coulda been getting down to this sick beat” and “To the fella over there with the hella good hair” sound jarring coming from Taylor Swift.
Directed by the estimable Mark Romanek, the video depicts Taylor trying, and failing, to hold her own among diverse groups of professional dancers.
