One of the reasons that, as a musician, that I'm afraid of ever becoming professional and having my music popularized, is that Alex Boye will cover one of my songs. He'll make it sound 1000 times better, just like he did with this one.

[@clob9477]

I second u on that, same thing I was thinking..still gotta give Swift credit, but I would pick this to her's anyday anytime...💯 ..Much respect to @Alex Boye #ProudlyNigerian

[@ashleewhitehouse3365]

The good thing is that ALEX BOYE would have heard your song! That would be so cool!!!!

[@royaltinman2226]

@Ashlee whitehouse And that he liked it enough to choose it to cover

[@shaloamstrooper5081]

😂😂😂😂 I can't tell wheathear you are being for real or not. Anyhow... Produce your music hunney... We can't wait

[@powerof3ozzyluver2]

He was before taylor

[@eldritch_moth3191]

Everyone in this video is so infectiously happy. Free Serotonin. Love it.

[@luisianna82]

he is already famous in youtube but he should be famous all around the world.

[@WriteSign]

I love this guy and his band. Never fails to make me smile and just feel that glow inside.

[@indianamarisol3728]

I saw you on America's Got Talent tonight singing this song and was super confused as to why you were there. In my mind, you are a super star already and I want you to know that I will be cheering for you the whole way!! And I can't wait until I can see you in concert one day!!!!

[@James-lp4ev]

World wide is the love for Taylor.

[@brittney8913]

Alex and about twelve other just preformed this song on America's Got Talent and everyone loved it! Alex broke down in tears and over flowed with emotion! All the judges said yes :)

[@MatsudaYouIdiotProductions]

I am the whitest, most uncoordinated geek you will ever meet. I have no sense of rhythm, am about as flexible as a lead pipe, and tend to look like I'm having a seizure if I try and dance. But your music always, without fail, not only makes me *want* to dance, but makes me feel like I *can.*

[@ShyAnn291]

Matsuda You Idiot Productions dance whenever you want to, don’t mind what others think!

[@leannegibbs1064]

Hey it's ok, just pick one dance move and master it lol. I personally recommend either the Carlton or the Charlie Brown. Either pretty much goes with everything lol.

[@DazzaDirect]

@@leannegibbs1064 theres also the staying alive dance, dad dance, running man, mashed potatoe and the twist if you feel up for it , happy 2020 ;-]

[@jerukmanies]

go for it my friend!

[@keishapierre5265]

I can't stop laughing...thank for the laugh

[@SheerBibliophile]

Please never stop doing what you do. I laugh and smile and dance in my seat tapping my feet to you. You're so full of life and you simply exude positivity. I wish there were more people like you in this world to be an example. Whenever I am down I listen to your songs and they perk me right up. Thank you so much.

[@jujubean010203]

Just remember that you don't need to try to fit into the world to make it - I love the clean cut Alex Boye....unique, energetic, fun, groovy, and inspirational. I want my children to keep watching you!

[@block_the_spot]

Wow, mind blown!! I kept smiling the entire time!!!

[@kikkih4592]

The sheer energy in his music always gets me moving without fail. I could be having the worst day ever but just one of his songs will lift me back up!

[@ravenwolf2220]

I definitely prefer this to the original (sorry Taylor Swift but this is so much more entertaining.) This makes me smile so much.

[@Katsines]

Me too!😊

[@gaymichaelis7581]

raven wolf I haven’t seen Taylor Swift’s version, but I am sure I would agree with you wholeheartedly!, Raven Wolf! I just love this that Alex Boye did with the rest of the people! It is so great, and I love Alex! I love his energy and singing and dancing and I love the white stripe he always has on his one cheek! And his outfits and his props, etc., etc.! And I love all the other vocalist and musicians! He does everything so well, and they do also! Love, Gay Crozer Michaelis

[@hbkgirl1982]

Me too!

[@Katsines]

Yeah I do too!

[@Audiea]

[@dianalawler3270]

Love it personally because it's my culture and I am happy to know people sing with the African music

[@OsmosisReverse]

Can we please nominate him for a Grammy against Swift and have him win it?? Pretty please?

[@moonlight6130]

Du bist so besonders....deine Lebensfreude steckt an, danke für deine Lieder .

[@Divachaplain]

Alex Boye #xfactor2015 #amazing wish you had done this one tho :-)

[@chaacd]

That keytar was just flat out amazing, highligh of my day.

[@maitesheart]

OMG! Did anyone see Alex Boye on America's got Talent? he did this song and it was amazing. You have a huge fan girl in me, God bless you and you so got this in the bag!

[@iciblossomlp6361]

His reaction to the judges words made me cry. :')

[@maitesheart]

Me too, lol

[@whydontiknowthat]

Yeah this was awesome and hilarious at the same time! Too bad he called it the african hipster version... I have an extreme hatred for hipsters. I feel conflicted watching this.

[@maitesheart]

I can respect that, but lets face it his and his band are worth the it. I would pay to watch him on tour or in Vegas.

[@jtalbot34]

Ha ha I'm a Hatch too!! Your Hatch family wouldn't happen to be from Utah are they? My Hatch family is the reason there's a town in Utah called Hatch.. LOL

[@chelseyhatch239]

Jennifer Talbot Ha ha awesome! I'm not sure.. I married into the Hatch family! Sorry...

[@jtalbot34]

Chelsey Hatch, ask your hubby .. it would be interesting to find a long lost cousin on You Tube LOL

[@chelseyhatch239]

Jennifer Talbot He says they are from Idaho.. :(

[@jtalbot34]

The Hatch's from Utah had some family members head to Idaho, called to go settle there by Brigham Young.. It's still a possibility for sure.. Genealogy/Family History is fun! If you haven't done it yet you should! I love family history because there's a surprise around every corner! 😊

[@anelinyluize]

Mormon , LDS , Love It , Love to know that people are part of this great family , congratulations alex boye

[@11thShadowDragon]

I could dance to this in public - and I'm afraid of dancing in front of people! That's pretty amazing work there, Mr. Boye!

[@doc8068]

Who's grooving to this song in 2020? Yeah shake it off, shake it off!

[@imposterjellyfish9703]

I'm a little addicted to this song and have to watch it daily. I can't get tired of this version :D

[@yulperez]

Alex, you will be a big star, famous and succesfull... when you will be there don´t forget your God, your Church and your family.

[@BNLNRD]

This has it all... Brass, Keytar and a funky af bass!

[@andariyuliachristanti9790]

Honestly, i love this cover. It's better than the original song :)

[@Siinchen1998]

This is one of the best covers I've ever heard of Shake it Off!

[@spicypineapples9207]

LOL OMG I LOVED IT WHEN SHE SAID THAT FELLA WITH THE SICK HAIR AND LOOKED AT ALEX HE HAS NO HAIR LOL

finally! A Taylor Swift song I can listen to!

[@SuperKaitlynnnn]

this goes harder than the original by about 1500000000%

[@christianmichael1663]

I would LOVE to hear an 1 hour version of this, your singing and dances are TOO GOOD, more than good, I should rate this a 1000/10!

[@michaelalees9140]

This man needs to wake me up for school every day

[@higpitnaman]

i very much LOVE this rendition when you brought this to an audition in a reality talent show... you and your band were so Grandiose beautiful souls...

[@TasieeNom]

Awesome job guys! This looked so much fun to film!

[@AlexBoyeReal]

YES. IT WAS SUCH A BLAST!!

[@nellrie1]

+Alex Boye mhzfhsfhpggzfggfs 🚲😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😖😎😷😷😬😬👿👳

[@Bribrandyn489]

No lies, but because I heard this version before the original by Ms Taylor, I immediately think on the hype from this song! I love!

[@jerushabazile6397]

I never heard the original song with Taylor singing it, so after watching this I went to check it out. I must say, I was disappointed. Alex sings it much better than the original owner.

[@BorisHooiBoef]

+Jerusha Bazile That's racist!

[@jerushabazile6397]

+Tuvia it's not racism, it's my opinion

[@kuuku22]

Duh

[@invictusblizzero]

Its racist if you are black and you say white is bad or the other way around.

[@nancyblair9862]

+IcyFlame I'm WHITE and I LOVE this man! Racism never crossed my mind until YOU just had to dig it up again! Why can't people just let it go ALREADY?? All I saw was a beautiful, talented man with high moral values. I was basking in that light --- until someone just had to bring up the dark side of human nature AGAIN. I'm sick of it already!

[@AMY1213141]

This is the best thing I’ve seen in my life

[@grinningchicken]

Blows the original away!

[@morethanimages259]

Here in 2021 and this old guy is lovin every sight and sound that you and your collaborators create! Thank YOU!!!! Hope this year will be a fantastic one for you.

[@Divionist]

Dang I never would have thought you would audition for AGT! but from all the videos errr... music I've heard from you. I've got no doubt at all that you'll make it to the semifinals and possibly finals. Heck you have a pretty high chance of winning. Good luck Alex, you and the band!

[@junhaohuang5427]

Cloud Chan on americas got talent audition for alex boye my teacher played the big golden instrument idk what it was called.

[@SleightCreative]

Warframe Forlife Tuba?

[@junhaohuang5427]

[@iu4743]

Guess you were wrong

[@DavidToborg]

This is literally the best thing ever.

[@adrianarraquel]

I can't believe I missed this! I LOVE IT!!!

[@Shindai]

Is it even possible to feel bad while listening to Alex Boyé do his thing?

[@aureliaellsworth4533]

Taylor Swift would be proud :D.

[@GonzoDonzo]

How can u not love this Man.He never grew up in all the right ways.

[@numichan_art]

This funky Keytar!!! :D

[@carmatic]

there is so much going on in this song, listening to this on good audio eqiupment and closing your eyes, you will have imagery as good as the video itself

[@karmichaelblue]

Better than original!

[@jesses764]

This is more mesmerizing than a fishing show in 1999 I can't stop watching it even though I wanna change it

[@ericsmith9842]

dude this guy should have made the original song

[@nancyblair9862]

BYU TV interview on Latter-Day Profiles was FANTASTIC!! This man is a real hero to have survived in music with LDS values! I'd go to Vegas to see him FOR SURE!!!

[@SerenitySandberry]

Wow thank you for this wonderful cover of Shake It Off! I thoroughly enjoyed your version and the video and I must say, it's even better than the original! Sorry Taylor! #sorrynotsorry

[@yucarileticia4911]

Better than the original !!!

[@oscarmorris6742]

You sir will make it to Vegas. You are my all time favorite male vocal singer. God bless you on your adventure.

[@senmejune7383]

At least his "fake" doesn't sound like "bake" love this cover btw :)

[@LegitWonder]

What, did you expect them to have the American accent?

[@senmejune7383]

no, no I've heard his songs before, I thought his accent would've made his words sound different

[@LegitWonder]

Sen H. Oh ok. I understand what you're saying now

[@caseylee4667]

He's literally my new favorite KZbinr, it's so amazing how he takes his own culture and spirit and puts it into these covers without overdoing it, and you can feel his outgoing energy through your screen, I bet he's a ton of fun in person!
