Taylor Swift absolutely crushes 'Name That Song' — until she hears her own song

Sometimes it's hard to recognise your own songs.

Taylor Swift absolutely smashed it at a game of "Name That Song" with Jimmy Fallon on Thursday — until she was presented with one of her very own songs.

Swift correctly guessed Nelly's "Hot in Herre," which she said was her "favourite song." She also identified Sixpence None the Richer's "Kiss Me" — the first song Swift ever learned to play on guitar.

But when it came to the final song — the dealbreaker which decided to who won the overall game — she ran into trouble.

The song? Oh, just one of her own. "Shake It Off".

Ah well, you win some, you lose some.
