(Radio.com) The inspiration that pop music can provide to its fans is well documented and manifests in countless ways. But maybe the best is when music helps someone do what they couldn't find the power to do on their own: survive.

Such is the case with Ohio Taylor Swift fan Ronnie Brower, who used "Shake It Off" and other Taylor Swift songs as anthems for him to literally shake off hundreds of pounds of excess weight, dropping from 675 pounds to 250 over the last couple years.

To commemorate his long journey, Brower's friend made a video about his accomplishment as a message to Swift, to make her 1989 tour Cleveland stop a special one for one of her biggest fans. Brower's keys to losing weight: diet, a ton of exercise, and a strict listening regime to Taylor, Taylor, and more Taylor.
