Buckingham Palace delighted Taylor Swift fans across the internet on Friday after posting a video of the military band at the changing of the guard ceremony playing her hit song “Shake It Off.”
Swift is currently played in the U.K. leg of her worldwide concert show, The Eras Tour. She played three shows at London’s Wembley Arena from June 21 to 23.
The changing of the guard happens four times each week at Buckingham Palace, in a ceremony which sees the exchange of military personnel taking sentry duty outside, protecting the palace and, when in residence, the king too.
Detachments of guards on duty (identifiable by their scarlet tunics and bearskin hats) are made up of the seven regiments of the household division who stand on duty in rotation.
The changing of the guard from one set of soldiers to another is accompanied by a full military band that plays traditional and modern tunes. It is watched regularly by millions of tourists each year.
A post to the official Royal Family X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday, featured a two-minute video of the band playing Swift’s 2014 hit song “Shake It Off,” captioned with the lyrics “Can’t stop, won’t stop groovin’ .”
The video title was a reference to Swift’s growing catalogue of rerecorded versions of her albums which feature the “Taylor’s Version” label.
