On Thursday night, the Washington Capitals stopped history in its tracks when they ended the Columbus Blue Jackets 16-game streak with a 5-0 victory.

While the win was certainly exciting, Nate Schmidt was the most entertaining part of the night. Schmidt scored his first goal in 67 games to extend the Caps lead to 3-0. He also sung and danced to Taylor Swift’s “Shake It off” in a video shown during the second period.

This is amazing.

In the video, Schmidt and other Caps players like Jay Beagle, Marcus Johansson, and Nicklas Backstrom appear to play a game in which they must correctly sing the lyrics of one of Taylor Swift’s latest hits. While Johansson quickly gave up with a shrug and Backstrom remarked “I know the song, but I don’t know the words,” Schmidt got super into the song.

Like, super, super into it.

Schmidt’s performance earned him a big green checkmark in the game. Beagle got one too, but he only said the lyrics, not actually singing them, so that barely counts.

Fans at the game loved Schmidt’s T-Swift imitation and sick dance moves.

Keep on shaking off that streaky, Schmidty.
