Taylor Swift is currently sending Australia into Tay Tay fever as she tours the country, and it seems the nation's politicians aren't immune.
Take Treasurer Scott Morrison. The minister was responding to media questions Monday regarding whether he had been offered the treasury job by current Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull in February, months before the dumping of former Prime Minister Tony Abbott.
We won't bore you with the details, but please note the part where the Liberal Party member told reporters to "shake it off" in regards to these events.

Not to be outdone, senator for New South Wales, Sam Dastyari, who has a track record of loving a bit of Ms. Swift, stepped it up a notch when speaking to media at the doors of Parliament House Monday morning.
He responded to Morrison, saying he's done a "swifty," and suggesting there's "Bad Blood" in the Liberal Party, and that Morrison should be more concerned about the "Blank Space" in his policy agenda.
As promised: @samdastyari with many references to my favourite artist @taylorswift13 at doors this morning. #auspol pic.twitter.com/C2oR1lXgYX— David Sharaz (@DavidSharaz) November 29, 2015
Taylor Swift performed to 76,000 fans in Sydney's ANZ Stadium on Saturday night, where surprise, surprise, Morrison was in the crowd.
Australia's politicians are your biggest fans, Taylor. Please stay here forever.
