This '80s Aerobics Video Set to "Shake It Off" Is Almost Too Good

November 6, 2014

Hey, hey, hey! Have the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world been getting you especially down and out this week? I have the perfect Friday pick-me-up for you!

Like most great pick-me-ups, it involves Taylor Swift’s sick beats. But in a surprise twist, it also features an aerobics video from the glorious ’80s.

That’s right, friends: Somebody brilliant figured out that TSwift’s “Shake It Off” is even more amazing when it’s accompanied by a legion of spandex-clad jazzercisers. They’re so happy! The song is so happy! Everybody’s SO HAPPY!

AGGRESSIVE HAPPINESS

Yup, fits right in!

Happy Friday, everyone.
