Of course Nate Schmidt knows every word of Taylor Swift’s ‘Shake It Off’ (Video)

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.
