New Zealand musician Jesse Will had no idea that when he created his own laid back, emotionally-moving interpretation of Taylor Swift's mega-smash single "Shake It Off" that the pop star thousands of miles away would even know about it. Oh, but Swift not only knows about his version, she has publicly tagged Will's efforts as the best rendition she's heard.

Will, 24, had an immediate reaction to the internet shout out from Swift. He said it was the "best birthday present ever."

Will became an overnight sensation when Swift tweeted--to her 48 million followers!--a "two thumbs up" endorsement of his "Shake It Off" rendition.

"My favorite covers are the ones where the artist has made it their own, changing the way the song makes you feel," the 25-year-old star proclaimed and she included a link to Jesse singing his interpretation of her hit.
