    1989 is her most mainstream album to date. a vintage fun 80's pop touched with pleasing aesthetics that makes it her brightest and most successful album with mega hits like Blank Space and Shake It Off. it's a sarcastic nod to her haters while her daring masterpieces like Wildest Dreams and Style brings out her pop-style in a perfectionist way

    '1989', de Taylor Swift, é com certeza um divisor de água na carreira da cantora. A carreira de Swift começou com o estilo country às vezes misturado com uma leve sonoridade pop. "someday i'll be livin' in the big ol' city" (ela cantava em 'Mean'). Mal sabia ela que um dia estaria vivendo universo intenso de 'Welcome to New York" - (it´s a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat. The'1989', de Taylor Swift, é com certeza um divisor de água na carreira da cantora. A carreira de Swift começou com o estilo country às vezes misturado com uma leve sonoridade pop. "someday i'll be livin' in the big ol' city" (ela cantava em 'Mean'). Mal sabia ela que um dia estaria vivendo universo intenso de 'Welcome to New York" - (it´s a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat. The lights are so bright, but they never blind me).Ela canta, com uma batida meio anos 80 acompanhando a produçaõ da música. A adolescente que antes tinha os olhos mais brilhantes que as estrelas do céu de Georgia, agora tornou-se a própria estrela.
    Este álbum é sobre mudança, e -principalmente- sobre a imagem de Taylor Swift. 1989, sendo o ano de seu nascimento, traz a ideia de uma nova imagem para a cantora. Um novo estilo, novas sonoridades e novas histórias. Aqui, ela mostra ironia com sua fama de ter muitos namorados em "Blank Space" e em "Shake it Off" "I go on too many dates, but i can't make'em stay. At least that's what people say." Assumindo totalmente a sua fama de ter tido muitos namorados.
    Swift é uma artista que consolida-se nas composições. Ela escreve sozinha as próprias músicas, e- às vezes- pede uma ajudinha a outros compositores. Sua habilidade de contar histórias é excepcional. Nesse quesito, "Wildest Dreams" destaca-se trazendo essa característica, de modo que é possível imaginar tudo o que está sendo cantado. "This Love" é a balada do álbum e com uma produção que se destaca diante das "BOB" que se apresentam e traz um certo alívio para o ouvinte.
    "I Know Places" talvez seja a canção que, liricamente, tenha muita relação com toda o conceito de relacionamentos amorosos que o álbum aborda. Porém, sonoramente, é bagunçada, e parece que há mais de uma música tocando.
    '1989' conta com a produção de alguns nomes bem conhecidos do pop, como Max Martin e Jack Antonoff. Abalou o mundo pop de 2014, e trouxe uma mudança para a carreira de Taylor Swift e de todos os artistas que fizeram álbuns depois desse período. Trazendo a questão de abordar relacionamentos pessoais, contar histórias nas músicas, e principalmente, de fazer com que as pessoas se identifiquem, em alguns aspectos.

    Taylor's first pop album is a perfect example of adaptation. She does not lose the control of the sound in any moment of the entire project. This is one of the most cohesive albums I've ever heard. Maybe, what I loved the less, is the sometimes commercial sound that it has.

    Probably the most incredible spectacle that pop music had received on the 2010s, Swift’s first full pop piece has gathered everything that a popstar could reunite to make an art unique, and what a difference that make when an artist write and produce her own songs, you can feel that she lived every inch of what she has been singing, a fabulous, undeniably pop masterpiece of 2010 decade!

    Um dos álbuns que mais grita "Pop" na discografia da Taylor. Tem boas músicas mas vai de uma forma bem decrescente de qualidade, parece que ela ficou tanto tempo trabalhando pelas 16 músicas que quando chegou no finalzinho, a preguiça falou mais alto e ela jogou o que deu. 'Blank Space', 'Out of the Woods', 'Wildest Dream' são faixas que ilustram bem essa fase da Taylor.

    1989 Sets Swift as a major pop-star. Everything inside the record feels perfectly crafted , and has Antonoff's mark all over it's production. The result?, a solid record that rebuilt pop music with almost none contemporary references. 1989 is the beginning of Pop-Taylor. Same storytelling mixed with the best production the pop genre has seen in a while .

    It’s been 6 years since this album released and I’m gonna say Style is one of my favorite Pop song of all time and this is my favorite Pop album this is a real pop album you can imagine a pop life with listening to it. This is really a 1989 Jam !!! You will definitely like 4 or 5 song in this album.

    With 1989 she has succeeded in leveraging the most cordial and familiar of pop music outpourings to something that feels like a statement, a work of note and the sinew of some kind of emotional connective tissue–binding tastemakers, rock critics, guys I work with and my 12 year old cousin; irrevocably and unexpectedly.

    What stands out more than the production is how consistently solid the album is, and how effective the lyrics and songwriting.

    1989 is full of cliches, but the truth is that we wouldn't expect them to not be present anyway.
