Song of the Day: September 25, 2014

At 20 years old, Meghan Trainor has been one of the hottest new names in music this summer. As of last week's Billboard Hot 100 chart, her hit debut single "All About That Bass" has spent two weeks as the number one song in America. "Bass" would have hit that mark two weeks sooner, had it not been for a more established songstress releasing the first single from her recently-announced new album. As such, Trainor's consistently high record sales had to shake off the frenzy of Taylor Swift's unanticipated new song. Once the initial clamoring to buy and hear Swift's catchy new track died off slightly, "All About That Bass" finally became the top song in America after two months on the Billboard charts.

Apparently, Trainor has no hard feelings for Swift putting off the summit of "All About That Bass" for two weeks. In fact, Trainor paid homage to "Shake It Off" recently, recording an acoustic cover of the song that was shared online last week. Trainor adds her own flavor to the song and modifies the bridge, directly addressing Swift with the lyric "So Taylor, shake 'em off/don't let 'em get to you." 

Here's Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off", as covered by the remarkable Meghan Trainor:
