The music video for Shake It Off features Swift dressed as a ballet dancer and cheerleader, among other costumes.

Unveiling her latest project on her Yahoo! Live Stream yesterday, Swift said: “I woke up not wanting but needing to make a new style of music.”

Consequently, 1989 will be Swift’s first full pop album and is inspired by the music of the late 1980s. She has been working on the record for the last two years.

“[It’s] my favourite album I’ve ever made,” she said of the record.

1989 will be released on October 27. Shake It Off is available to download from iTunes now.
