Taylor's first four albums have been certified platinum a combined 21 times, but despite her unprecedented success in country music,*1989*is strictly pop. The same woman who once landed a nonsingle called "Forever and Always" on the Top 40 charts now declares, in "Wildest Dreams," "Nothing lasts forever." Yet her storytelling and the attention to detail that she honed in country are what make her pop songs peerless. She's 25 now, and with her newfound perspective on romance's expiration date, she's also gained appreciation for the joy of a fling's impermanence, recovering from heartbreak, and reinventing oneself. "Find out what you want/Be that girl for a month" refers to the preferences of a lover in "Blank Space" but could just as well apply to her own evolution.*1989*debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 charts and sold almost 1.3 million copies in the first week. It was the top-selling album of 2014 and outsold her previous two albums in the U.S. after just 19 weeks in release.
Interesting that she says shed never had a relationship when she wrote her first two albums.
she musta erased joe jonas and the boy from debut from her memory

She only wrote "Forever And Always" about Joe in Fearless and it was added last minute, so I assume she considers her songs about him on her third album
The Wildest Dreams/Enchanted performance is the best thing she has ever done. The way it ends with her walking away from the piano and everyone waving their hands.
