Just for the record... while it's true that pop isn't really my bag... I just had a wonderful 10 mins dancing around the living room with my daughter to this song. It's a super cool pop hit and I dig it a lot. :)

[@khimaros]

It’s Katy Perry’s Roar that gets me up with my daughter, so I completely get why you did this, thanks for all your work Justin. Your lessons have honestly made this one of the best Christmas’ (even if section D of Song For George almost reduced me to tears 😂).😁👍

[@windrider65]

I just read your email, I build Legos with my Grandkids. The kids don't have the finger strength for K'Nex yet, I've got 3 suitcases full of them and I like to tinker with them. I guess I'm just a 55 year old kid at heart. With my health problems a lot of things I loved to do I just can't anymore, so I needed to find new things to keep me sane. Take care of yourself and your family Justin. Thank you for sharing your videos. From Charlie in Georgia USA.

[@ptraz76]

I know it's not your normal song type, but it's nice to mix it up a bit. Plus, my daughter likes this one.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Cool! I hope you both enjoy the lesson :) Taylor Swift is great!

[@Brewer_]

Hearing you sing this has made my day. Great stuff as usual.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Wow, thank you! :)

[@crashbang8516]

Thank you so much for such amazing content. The guitar is something I have wanted to learn for years and with your help I am finally feeling more confident in what I am doing.

[@Santiino]

Its really a wonderful happy song. Perfect to have fun with. Overall Taylor Swifts songs are really great to play on guitar especially her current ones

[@saabbains]

LEGEND .... True sign of a great musician mixing it up I mean shaking it up 🤩

[@user-zc1en1wc8y]

Thank you, Justin! That’s a fun song, really enjoying you added it 🤗

[@jorgevelasquez9955]

I appreciate that! :) Thank you!

[@mauriecain7849]

Haha, cracking me up! Good stuff! I'm definitely playing this for my kids when they least suspect it. ;)

[@alisyed2754]

[@pablocosa]

Great lesson Justin!

[@5492sparky]

Excellent lesson Justin. 👍

[@guitarkyle]

I'm going to learn this for my granddaughter! Thanks for sharing Justin. :)

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Fantastic! Have fun! :)

[@luvstellauk]

People can scoff all they like but there's a lot to be learnt from Taylor Swift, check her solo performances of Betty, Cornelia Street, Blank Space and Wildest Dreams

[@tak-el-uc]

Would love to see you and Taylor do this as a duet! 😄

[@kevinsoutham]

So long as she does the verses jeepers creepers😂

[@arjunkaliyath6389]

Hi Justin...could you please please make a tutorial for the new taylor swift stuff ?? Maybe cardigan ???

[@theheroofkvatch8370]

Love the performance

[@HatseFIats]

Hey Justin, I'm learning this song and your tips for rhythm changes are really fun to implement. I was wondering if the breakdown section of the song, where Taylor sings: "My ex man brought his new..." has the same chords and and timing?

[@unplugekaraoke]

Guitar coach favorit,👍 thanks Justin, best regard from Indonesia..

[@mmccartney6579]

Really great lesson, Justin. Really great shirt too. Cheers, mate! :)

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Cheers! :)

[@chappy48]

Could you do some Lumineers? Easy strumming songs for beginners that could also be good fingerpicking or picking songs for intermediate players.

[@mattdante225]

"Fantastic writer of pop songs" - now, that is a backhanded compliment.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Not at all - I have BIG respect for Mz Swift!! One of the finest pop writers ever, and seems super cool, and beautiful... she got it all going on.

[@FasionJoce]

Really really really fun tutorial. Love it. Thank you very much

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Glad you liked it! Cheers 😊 | close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Moderator [ www.justinguitar.com/ ]

[@Karthik-ys7mi]

a Taylor Swift song after such a long time :)

[@civiltapatrizia6647]

Superlativo!!!!!

[@reeanimationgaming1034]

Fantastic man! I love it. Easy, and great! I want to Request Dear Future Husband, I think you can do A LOT of cool things with the strumming on that one, great Stand By Me Vibes :-)

[@chuboly32]

Big fan of your lessons. Just watched your E chord variation lesson, really good. Could you do a Pearl Jam version of Last Kiss with the variations they play?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Great song... using only 4 chords I guess. Will do! Happy new year.

[@MrMaelvis]

I see you have upped your production value a bit. You voice is so clear now and the new camera angles are great. Your guitar sound is recorded well too. Good editing.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks a ton! Your feedback is appreciated. Happy 2021!

[@touraykatim1683]

😙 nice

[@lautarosebastianagostafaro2888]

Hello🤗 Justin Sandercoe, I am Lautaro Sebastián Agosta, How are you? Happy New Year🎉🎉🎉!!

[@jonathanbob4085]

😍😍😍

[@sylviak9994]

Been trying those power chords but yours sound kind of muted, which is cool, while mine seem to ring out. What's the trick?

[@patrickcolclough2423]

Uncanny, I thought it was Taylor herself. :) Happy New Year Justin and thank you for everything.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Happy new year!

[@B1zarr0]

😘Спасибо!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Many thanks for the super thanks and supporting the channel. It means a lot. Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher www.justinguitar.com

[@stratogenarian1093]

Hi Justin… Another great video, going to learn this one. Are you palm muting while playing the power chords?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Yes, you can hear a muggled kind of chug in the intro | LievenDV | JustinGuitar Official Assistant

[@JasonBhoy7]

its one of those songs u cant sing and play without buckling with laughter

[@davidmhuey]

It did look like you wanted to laugh as you were singing this. Good job Justin!

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

It's not my usual singing style I guess haha

[@shashankbajracharya2236]

That was the worst

[@davidmhuey]

Not the worst! Thought it was fine to teach a lesson! But you singing “shake it off” was pretty funny - looked like you thought so too. Love your lessons! You taught me to play!!!!

[@muhammadyunus1792]

You should do a fingerstyle lesson on Exile by Taylor ft Bon Iver.

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Yeah I should :)

[@muhammadyunus1792]

@@JustinGuitarSongs if you're going down the Taylor Swift rabbit hole, her new song Willow also has a really cool guitar part

[@linnanan]

1:18, no, you are fantastic, ... and she too of course

[@Angus.Maclean]

Good transition to learning Ryan Adam’s version.

[@ahanlive7989]

Can you add Love Story?

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks for the suggestion. There’s a song request board (plus 700+ song lessons) here: www.justinguitar.com/songs Cheers 😊 | Richard_close2u | JustinGuitar Official Guide & Approved Teacher

[@45zapatero]

At least you remembered the name of the artist correctly :-) ( referring to an older video)

[@malachiroger2659]

Woow woow 😍💋 💝💖❤️

[@marcin4497]

Thanks great review, I am happy with my Pixel 3a. Working from home I don`t need a new phone. I commented in a prior video, decided to get iPhone 12 PRO for my wife because for the camera. Definitely, will be looking at this phone for myself.

[@khimaros]

Wrong video my friend..

[@Levi89723]

How did you even end up doing this? XD

[@Tony-vl5gc]

First

[@JustinGuitarSongs]

Thanks! Happy New Year!

[@MrTLaing]

Hahahahahaha...
