Others expressed discomfort to the song against the protests in Ferguson, Mo.

Taylor Swift is twerking while Ferguson is burning. That's pretty much America in 140 characters or less.

Despite of that, others defend the singer against to the bashers and critics.

Here the statement of Orhgasm wrote in his Tumblr account from BuzzFeed.

“As a proud ass black man, the taylor swift video for her new song “Shake it off” was not problematic or even close to racist.

If you bothered to watch the video, the video was about being happy and dancing and celebrating other people’s dancing. One of them happened to include twerking. Taylor was not “cultural appropriating” anything and she wasn’t “being racist” by only having black woman in that part of the video. There are many other african americans in the video and in her many other videos so even calling her racist means you need to log out.

She was celebrating people’s dancing and how they celebrate music throughout the video and a large variety of black woman twerk. Would it honestly make sense if Taylor had 100 or so white girls try to twerk? Either way, y’all would still throw hate or shade either way. But calling her racist is the shit I don’t stand for because she isn’t.”

But the reason of making music of Taylor is based from her experience according from interview with MYX Philippines.

To Taylor, you can do anything what you like as long as you didn’t mean to make a discrimination against the Black American friends.
