Sing “Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift in a Higher Key
Two or three low notes should not cost you “Shake It Off”. Taylor Swift, the wife of an American football star, from the USA, recorded it in the key that suited one particular voice — raise the whole track by a few semitones and every phrase lands where your voice actually carries.
Why sing “Shake It Off” in a higher key?
