A hilarious remake of Taylor Swift’s video ‘Shake it Off’ by a group of retirees in New Zealand has gone viral on the internet. Their clip – set to Swift’s Shake It Off – was made over the course of a week, complete with green screens, choreography workshops and wardrobe and makeup departments.
The retirees boast a combined age of more than 4000 years, and the average age among the group is 82 – which is why the Youtube channel they feature on is called 80-odd Years of Happy. There, you can see retirees from villages around New Zealand dancing to pop songs, taking part in fashion shows and flash-choirs, and making clips like this one of Edmund Hillary Retirement Village’s residents doing a disco tribute.
