There were a few nominees more deserving of that award (especially Alabama Shakes) and I hoped the Grammy comittee would get this one right but it's true that Taylor is a Grammy darling and that the album was commercially the album of the year. So if the award is supposed to be give to the album that recapitulates the passed year, that it is the right winner. Quality-wise, not so much. As I prefer quality over Top10 singles, I wouldn't choose 1989 for the win and I was slightly upset by its win but congrats, I guess.
