Taylor Swift's songs may be the ultimate version of pop music in 2014 but would people in the eighties enjoy the song? Of course they would!

Just days after Taylor Swift released her new album, a creative YouTube user created a unique and enjoyable video merging "Shake it Off" - one of her hit singles from the album - and an aerobics championship that happened to take place in "1989" - Swift's birth year and also the title of her album!

The video has been going viral on the internet and didn't escape Swift either. As soon as she spotted the video, she took to Twitter to spread the word:

"Shake it Off" was Swift's first single from the album. The original video is hilarious where Swift is seen trying her hand at several dance forms like Digiting, contemporary and even cheerleading. But no matter what she takes up, she always ends up as the worst dancer.

There is a Twerking portion where we thought Swift might just attempt it, but - No.

In the end, however, Swift is seen dancing around with people who are just as bad as her at dancing as they all "shake it off" together.

Bonus Fact: Those people in the end of the video are actually Taylor Swift fans who were handpicked from several social media outlets and fan letters to feature in the single!

"1989" is Taylor Swift's fifth studio album, which she has been working on for the past two years. She wrote "Shake It Off" with Max Martin and Shellback, the same team that produced super hits like "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."

"People can say whatever they want about us, at any time and we cannot control that," Swift said at the Live stream. "The only thing we can control is our reaction to that."

Swift also said that she derived inspiration for this album from the 80s pop music, which is why the album is named "1989." This is her first, documented pop album.

"I really loved the chances they were taking. I loved how bold it was. It was, apparently, a time of limitless potential. ... The idea of endless possibility was kind of a theme in the last year of my life," she said of the 80s' pop music.
