VIDEO: Jesse Tyler Ferguson Covers Swift's 'Shake It Off' at TrevorLIVE Benefit

Last Sunday night at the Hollywood Palladium, The Trevor Project celebrated 16 years of its life-saving, life-affirming work, which provide crisis INTERVENTION and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning (LGBTQ) teens and young adults. The high-profile annual event, TrevorLIVE Los Angeles, was presented by Wells FARGO and hosted by Jennifer Coolidge.

At the event, Jesse Tyler Ferguson took on Taylor Swift's single "Shake It Off" from her hit LP "1989", explaining to the crowd, "If there's anything that I learned from my 1989 it's that-well, I was a 14-year-old closeted gay kid in Albuquerque, New Mexico in a Catholic school-so I learned to not care what people think, to be the courage to be who I wanted to be and right now I want to be a country-to-pop-crossover-sensation." Watch the performance below!
