Review: Taylor Swift's 1989

I have probably listened to this album over 100 times and I absolutely love it. Honestly this might be my favorite Taylor Swift album yet. But how can I pick when I think they are all pretty perfect.

1989 is Taylor’s fifth album and her first documented official pop album. This album sold 1.287 million in the first week. That’s pretty impressive.

I love every song on this album. Seriously. I love dancing like crazy to “Shake It Off” and I love the sweet ballad that is “This Love.”  However, my favorites list would have to be:

Welcome to New York
Blank Space
Style
Wildest Dreams

I was able to narrow it down to four and I think that’s the best I can do. I really can’t pick one.
 I love “Welcome to New York” because I plan of living there one day and I think Taylor captures the feeling of moving to the city really well in her song.  I personally can see myself moving to New York when I listen to the song and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

“Blank Space” has my favorite music video I think I have ever seen. Taylor is funny and beautiful in it. I want to wear all her outfits in it. Also the lyrics are my favorite part of this song. It has one of my favorite lines in it: “cause darling I’m a nightmare dressed as a daydream.” If you haven’t seen the music video, go watch it now!

The lyrics along with the music are why I love “Style.” Yeah, I think it’s written about Taylor’s love affair with Harry Styles, but I love how her songs are so real for her. It puts so much more meaning behind the songs which is why she’s one of my favorite artists. The chorus is the best thing. Ever.

My love for “Wildest Dreams” is because it is currently so relatable to me. I may or may not be involved in a little fling right now. It’s definitely nothing that will last, which is what I feel the she means when she sings “I can see the end as it begins.”

This album is a hit and I recommend that everyone buys it and listens to it on repeat. I cannot wait for her world tour. Next October I plan on seeing her here in St. Louis. My excitement levels are SO high and it’s still a whole year away. I have loved Taylor Swift since the beginning and I’m blown away by this amazing album.
