I, too, have now drunk the Taylor Swift Kool-Aid and found myself, after months of listening to it reluctantly, that I actually DO love Shake It Off. So much, that yesterday, before a short shift at work, I cleaned up my room and had a solo dance party to the song, in an almost-ashamed and amazed fury. Tonight, I will…
