Which singer released the song 'Shake It Off' in 2014?

The singer who released “Shake It Off” in 2014 was Taylor Swift.

Swift released the song on August 18, 2014, as the lead single from her fifth studio album, 1989. The upbeat dance-pop track marked a major step in her move away from the country-pop sound associated with her earlier albums and toward a fully pop-oriented musical identity.

Swift wrote the lyrics, while Max Martin and Shellback helped compose and produce the music. The song’s message centers on dismissing criticism and refusing to be defined by negative commentary, a theme connected to the intense media attention surrounding Swift’s public life and career.

“Shake It Off” became one of Swift’s biggest early pop successes. It debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and spent four non-consecutive weeks at the top. The Mark Romanek-directed video shows Swift humorously attempting ballet, hip-hop, cheerleading, and other dance styles. It is sometimes confused with later 1989 singles such as “Blank Space” and “Style,” but “Shake It Off” was the album’s first single.
