Taylor Swift - Shake It Off Outtakes Video #8 - The Director chords
Start Jamming...
For this one I want to try, [E] you stay in the center most of the time, but you can travel
down the line.
So you're kind of performing this way.
You just keep yourself square up to the camera.
We'll try to square up.
You [Abm] can interact with the fans.
Stay in the center [E] for a while, maybe go on this side.
We'll try that.
[F] [G] [N] That was good.
Yeah.
So adorable.
It looked really good.
It looked good?
Yeah.
[G] The reason I wanted to reach out to Mark to direct the video was because [Am] in doing a lot
of research [C] of videos I really loved, the [G] thing I thought we hadn't accomplished yet
is I thought we hadn't had a video that was striking and [Am] minimal.
We kind of, I said, what if I was with these [C] ballerinas, but I'm just a [G] terrible ballerina,
and so I just decide to let it go and not try to be like them anymore, just be like me.
And what if in the [E] end, dancing like me is good enough and it actually looks cool?
Like having been uncool for the entire video.
And he said, I really like that.
And so Mark is the [A] perfect collaborator for this.
[C] [G]
[Dm] [G] [Am]
[C] [G]
[Am] You know, you have those very iconic looking videos where you [C] can just picture one setup
and it [G] sticks out in your mind.
And almost all of my favorite videos like that, they were [Em] mostly all directed by [Am] Mark.
So I knew he [C] hadn't done a video in a long time because he's moved on to movies and [G] films.
So I knew it was a very slim chance we'd get him.
But I flew [Am] somebody out with this locked iPod to play him the song [C] before anyone else heard
it and one listen in, [G] he was in.
Just think while [N] you've been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty, dirty
cheats of the world, you could have been getting down to this sick beat.
[E] When you're doing the ballet, you're too good.
You actually slot in with everyone.
So try to do it worse.
And then just being silly is awesome because it gets them.
[Am]
[C] You [G]
never see tutus moving like that because no one ever dances like [Em] that.
