WWE Superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is known for his many skills. Aside from endlessly working out, not sleeping, and being the lead star of HBO's Ballers, "The Rock" can also sing to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off."
According to a report by the Rolling Stone, Johnson belted out the song while driving down the streets of Miami in the most recent episode of "Ballers." Being the executive producer of the show, there is a possibility that he has had a say in putting the song in the script.
There were not any cheesy dance moves or birds being flipped on the clip, but six seconds of The Rock's soothing tones should be more than enough to cheer you up.
Well, this is not the first time that Johnson has performed the song. A couple of months back, he showed off his lip-syncing talent by singing to the same song, and people seemed to like it too, says SB Nation.
Swift seemed to give up her super strict control over her brand to HBO, because Johnson had revealed to Extra during the red carpet for Furious 7 that he personally asked for Taylor's permission to lip-sync to the song for a show.
"Taylor, I just gotta send you a personal appreciation. Thank you so much," he addressed the camera, while going on to tell Mario Lopez that Swift was "notorious about protecting her music and her content - which she should be." However, when Swift had heard that Johnson had wanted to sing it, she later on conceded saying: 'Rock got it, just take it.' Johnson went on to tell Entertainment Weekly that he "got the blessing from Tay Tay!"
HBO picked up Ballers for a second season in July after having an extremely good rating of 8.9 million viewers in its debut. This includes HBO's Head of Programming who is a big fan of the show.
Michael Lombardo said: "The charismatic and hugely talented Dwayne Johnson, along with the rest of the 'Ballers' cast has truly struck a chord with the HBO audience. We are thrilled with the overwhelming response the series has received and look forward to another exciting season."
