Reese Witherspoon has 'new appreciation' for T. Swift after singer 'Shake It Off' in 'Sing'

Reese Witherspoon, who sang Taylor Swift's hit song 'Shake It Off' for her upcoming animated film 'Sing', recently admitted that she has a whole new respect for the singer regarding how hard it was to pull off the chords.

While talking about singing on 'The Today Show', the 40-year-old academy award-winning actress said, "Country music is much easier for me. Singing Taylor's song 'Shake It Off' was really hard."

"I happened to run into her while I was making the movie and I was like, 'I have a new appreciation for how hard you work.' She's like, 'Yeah, I work really hard,'" she shared.

Witherspoon lent her singing voice to Rosita, a talented pig in the much awaited movie that features more than 65 hit songs.

Set in a world like ours but entirely inhabited by animals, the movie stars Mathew McConaughey as Buster Moon, a dapper koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times.

Produced by Meledandri and his longtime collaborator Janet Healy, 'Sing' releases in India on December 30, 2016.
