1989 sold 1.287 million, I repeat,1.287 million copies in its first week. That in and of itself is quite the feat. Then she dropped the video for “Blank Space” and broke the Internet in her own total tongue-in-cheek style. What both Time and Bloomberg Businessweek focus on are not how Swift is dealing about her break-ups or how her style is easy to re-create on a budget. Rather, the 24-year-old singer has received the kind of treatment so few women in the music industry are ever dealt: respect. Time titled their piece “The Power of Taylor Swift” while Bloomberg Businessweek opted for “Taylor Swift Is The Music Industry.”

It didn’t take long before the Internet pointed out that the image of Swift on both is nearly identical, but that’s not what actually matters about the covers. What does matter is the fact that Swift appears on both covers with her face taking up the entire real estate. Her gaze is forward, directed right at the reader. It is the sort of cover that is more often reserved for men because it is a powerful and assertive image. More often than not, women are depicted on the covers of magazines showing off their sexy bodies, desirable fashion, and/or they’re very photoshopped, and look completely non-threatening. Take a close look the next time you’re a the magazine aisle at the grocery store and you might notice just how rarely women are looking directly at you without being completely sexualized.
I wouldn't want Bad Blood to be a single. It's a good pop song, and it'd be successful, but it might tarnish all the goodwill she's earned this era with the GP.
Style is the right choice after Blank Space, but who knows. There's a dozen good choices between the standard and the deluxe.
