10 GIFs Showing That Taylor Swift Has Been Super Awkward Forever

Taylor Swift released a surprise single and video yesterday for the song "Shake It Off." The video seems to be embracing the fact that Taylor Swift is an awkward dancer. Basically, the plot of the video is that there are some amazing dancers out there, and then there's Taylor Swift doing the exact opposite.

She's always been awkward, so its nice to see her embracing this. It's just weird because for the first half of the song, it seems like she isn't singing about an ex-boyfriend, which I couldn't comprehend. I mean, it's a Taylor Swift song, so it has to be about an ex, right? Fortunately, at about the halfway point, she does this breakdown where she reveals that, yes, this is about an ex. Phew, I was getting worried that she was actually growing as an artist.

Once the reveal happens, it makes the whole video seem kind of trite. This is the same old Taylor Swift, and she's only being awkward here because she thinks it makes her look cute and vulnerable. In reality, it just makes her look awkward, which is par for the course with her. Here's a collection of GIFs showing off just how awkward she really is!

She's adorable, but she's also just soooo awkward
