Released in 2014, Shake It Off is considered a major breakthrough in the music of the Bad Blood singer, moving from the previously familiar Country Pop genre to more popular pop music. Immediately after its release, the song faced many mixed reactions from critics and audiences. While many people comment that this is an excellent pop song, there are still many opinions that this style of music does not suit Taylor Swift.

However, despite many mixed reviews, Shake It Off is still a huge commercial success. Specifically, the song is considered the most successful opening single of 2014, the 22nd song in history to reach number one on the famous Billboard Hot 100 chart in the first week of release.
