I think she should pick OOTW instead WANEGBT and Style instead Love Story

17. Taylor Swift - 1989

The first track on Swift’s 2006 debut was entitled “Tim McGraw.” In 2014, Swift opens her magnum opus with “Welcome to New York,” the oppositional force that suits Taylor so incredibly better than her America’s Sweetheart persona. Over the course of five albums, caterpillar Taylor—that twang-loving, frizzy-haired, cowboy-hat-donning teen that posed on top of car hoods—has blossomed into one of pop’s most dynamic forces.

Granted, we must give credit where credit is due and first praise the dynamic duo of Max Martin and Shellback, who clearly saved the tricks up their sleeve for this album. It is a feat in it of itself for a mainstream album to not be hit-oriented (i.e. not contain 5-8 filler tracks). Not only does 1989 lack filler, it assures you that every thirty seconds, some glistening hook will deny your pressing pause. The first nine tracks (yes, as in more than 2/3 of the whole album) comprise the particular powerhouse, a seamless quilt of various Taylors, belting over dance-pop that rivals the catchiness of Robyn and Gaga.

From her tricks of insanity on “Blank Space” to her sassy acceptance on “All You Had To Do Was Stay” and her unwavering termination of friendship on “Bad Blood,” Taylor masters her own relationships with a newfound confidence that reinforces her sophistication tenfold. Like sister-feminist Beyoncé, Taylor is bored with whining over losers, and rather takes the opportunity to tell them “**** you” once and for all. Robust and pristine, 1989 reminds us that diamonds in the rough persist on the Billboard Charts. — Matthew Malone

I don't know. Not only is he a Katy Stan now but he is slating Taylor. All this is a complete 180 from October. I think he has lost his mind.

I just referenced him cos he is from Norway.

1989's success is mind blowing. Not just the sales but the reception, non-fans are loving her pop sound.

A guy randomly messaged me on an app saying that New Romantics was his favorite song on the album because he saw its lyrics in my profile. If only he weren't so much older than me.

The fact that I immediately knew which "app" he was referring to, kii.

In the top 200 since the album release. Hope she'll pull a Ours 2.0 with this hymn.

Driving in the rain is the perfect setting when listening to Clean. HYGTG sounds really good on early morning drives.

Yes!

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning
That's when I could finally breathe

I think I am finally clean
Said, I think I am finally clean

One of the best on 1989.

And:

So I punched a hole in the roof

Did you do that?

Kidding, for fun. Love you

What if Taylor releases BAD BLOOD much earlier than the plan? Like the third single?

Edit: I'm sure BB will go number one immediately, if she released it right now.

Edit2: These 2 days, I was/am in BAD BLOOD mode, drag me please

Edit3: Taylor nearly never promoted BAD BLOOD in the past 2 months (if you didn't count some sensitives' reaction as promotion ) but look at its chart performance.

Edit4: "If you love like that, blood runs cold", lyrics from BAD BLOOD

All You Had To Do Was Stay has to be a single

I always skip All You Had To Do Was Delete

I Wish You Dead the only song I always skip

[kevinnyc]

Better not skip any song on 1989, even if you don't like it, it will make the next song much better if do NOT skip it

Actually, 1989 is a whole project, every song plays its important role.

You're one of the nicest member here, kevin
but I'm actually disturbed with your BB obsession as next single

All You Had To Do Was Delete, Bad Song, and Wonder Why I'm Not in Standard Version are bottom 3 of 1989, and will never ever be single
