NC State thumped rival North Carolina in Chapel Hill Saturday, 35-7, which set off a wild locker room celebration to the sounds of … Taylor Swift?

The NC State Wolfpack closed their regular season in convincing fashion, taking a 35-0 lead before settling for a 35-7 victory over their arch-rivals from North Carolina on the road Saturday afternoon.

When it was over, the Wolfpack celebrated in the victorious locker room at Kenan Stadium in Chapel Hill, N.C., to the sounds of Shake It Off by Taylor Swift.

NC State (7-5) finished just 3-5 in ACC play, but is bowl-eligible and scored a big win over a longtime rival behind the two-headed running monster of junior quarterback Jacoby Brissett and junior running back Shadrach Thornton.

Brissett was also 9-for-11 through the air for 66 yards and three touchdowns as the Wolfpack outgained the Tar Heels 454-207, running for 388 yards and keeping possession of the ball for 38:49.

North Carolina (6-6) was held to just 30 rushing yards on 28 attempts and quarterbacks Mitch Trubisky and Marquise Williams were each intercepted once.
