this song addresses long-held rumours about miss Swift, regarding her bathroom hygiene habits. it was reported for years that miss Swift did not believe in wiping her ass. She thought toilet paper was for poor people and bidets were for gays and the elderly. In the song she bravely faces the rumours head on, ultimately saying she doesn’t care what people say because when she’s done using the toilet she simply “shakes it off”. it became a trend in some midwestern middle schools around the time the song was released, and one town even had to do a PSA on proper hygiene. To this day miss Swift refuses to do anything but “shake it off” to deal with the aftermath of using the restroom.
