Here's Your Chance to Win One of Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" Tutus
Hey hey hey! What’s going on, TSwift nation? We’re guessing that, even six months out, you’re still obsessed with “Shake It Off.” Because who isn’t? It’s straight-up the Best Gym Song of All Time. (Seriously, it’s the perfect elliptical machine tempo—try it!)
It also, of course, boasts one of the Best Crazy Dance Videos of All Time. There’s nothing quite like Tay Tay in a tutu. Which brings us to the real subject of this blog post: Those “Shake It Off” tutus? Turns out, they’re actually Ballet West’s Swan Lake costumes. Such a great factoid, right? And now, BW is giving fans a chance to win one of the very tutus used in the “Shake It Off” video. That’s right: This is your chance to own a part of both music video and ballet history.
