Caught on dash-cam! Dover police officer MCPL Jeff Davis has become an overnight viral sensation after lip-synching to Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off."
Since the Delaware cop's department posted the hilariously sassy video on Friday, it's already racked up more than 2.4 million views and growing.
"It's real," he assured Fox News on Saturday morning. "I did know that the camera was on. We had it done just as a publicity thing for not only our police department, but police worldwide… With all the negative publicity that police have been getting nationwide and worldwide, I think it was a good thing to show a little of the lighter side of police."

"I have a 10-year-old daughter who loves Taylor Swift and in my house Taylor Swift's on the radio quite a bit with her being around and I've just learned all the words," the father of four explained.
