Now’s your chance to go behind the scenes of Taylor Swift’s “Shake It Off” music video. After beating out Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” to be No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot 100, Swift tweeted the video and wrote, “I can’t thank radio and you all enough for the Hot 100 #1! But I can give you this video of Shake It Off outtakes …”
Based on the title — “Outtakes Video #1 ‘The Cheerleaders'” — this is just the first of a series of clips to be released about the filming. Directed by Mark Romanek, the music vid follows Swift being dorky with a bunch of different dance groups. “This is the most exciting music video I’ve ever done,” she says to the camera. Swift also says she prepared by running a lot — “which I hate!” See the outtakes from the cheerleader segment:
