Badass hitmaking sensation Charli XCX has leant her sugary pop punk touch to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" with a new cover.

Visiting the BBC's Live Lounge, she powered through an uptempo version of the song with her band. Thanks to some hard, fast drumming, some wanky guitar and some call-and-response vocals, it was a punk version of the song in the same way that Avril Lavigne can sort of be considered punk sometimes.

If that sounds like something you'd be into, listen to Charli XCX's take on Taylor Swift below.
