Today is the day! Today is the day! Taylor Swift's new album is out! Today is the day! Let me tell you, 1989 is top notch, A+, 10/10, would recommend. This album is so wonderful I can't even review the whole thing at once, so you know what, I'm reviewing it track by track. Let's do this.
Okay, when I first heard this song last week, I wasn't too into it. But now? I am so, so in love. It's like this anthem for new beginnings, and I am currently in a weird new beginning. I'm going to blast this song for the rest of my life.
This song is very different than anything I have ever heard before (or at least in a really long time). It's a perfect mellow pop song. I love how some of the lines start out kind of choppy and then turn into something super smooth. Taylor knows how to suck people into an album. I am so hooked there's no hope for me anymore. Save yourselves.
This song started out kind of different. I like this. It's like music you would hear playing in the background of a movie where the main character is on their way to go do something that probably isn't the best for them. Like, it kind of sounds dangerous? I'm not super in love with this song yet, but it has been growing on me all day. I do love the chorus.
My jam is finally here. I'm in love with this song. I love the repetition in the chorus. I love that it has incredibly simple lyrics to learn for extreme car singing. I love that it's about Harry Styles without it being mean to Harry, because I love him too. Anyway, I'm in love with this song, and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
I don't really have a lot to say about this song. Just know that I really like it. It's a pretty easy-going pop song. It's not as upbeat as Shake it Off by any means, but it's not a ballad either. It's a good middle. It's been growing on me with each listen. Other than that, not much to say but I like it.
Speaking of Shake it Off! Here it is! I still love how upbeat and fun this song is. To read more about my feelings toward the song, check it out here! By the way, still in love with the word hella.
When the music first started it sounded like a One Directions song. Anyway, I like the song. I don't have a lot more to say though. I like the contrast between the verses and the chorus. It's been growing on me a lot.
This is the anthem that I need in this album. Taylor is pissed at Katy Perry, and I love the musical product of that feud. Really, Katy screwed her over and my ears are reaping all of the rewards. I mean, "Band-aids don't fix bullet holes" is pretty intense.
Finally! A slower song! Wildest Dreams is one of my favorites on the album. It sounds a lot like the music could have been Lorde's but now Taylor is singing over it. It's awesome. I feel like Taylor and I are on the same page with men too (except, you know, she'll get that guy and I'll still be sitting here trying to write a blog).
This is my absolute favorite song of the album. It sounds like it could be in this super cheesy, but wonderful, romantic comedy when everything finally works out for the couple. I've listened to the entire album probably five times today, but I've listened to this song about twenty times on it's own. I've listened to it three times just writing this, and it's not because I'm a slow typer. I'm going to be loving this song for the next decade.
We've got another super slow song going on here. I really like this. It's so nice and easy-going. I could listen to this forever.
Okay, this song is cool. It sounds pretty different than everything elses. I love, love, love the chorus. I can't quite put my finger out on what else I love about this song, but overall, it's great.
I think this song uses an xylophone? I don't know, but I like it. I think it's the perfect ending to the album. We started out all super happy and excited, but at the end of the day we just want to feel safe and at home.
This album is perfect. I'm obviously not very good at reviewing things, but hey, at least I gave you new lyrics to love! Definitely check this album out as soon as you possibly can. Taylor definitely does not disappoint.













I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy of her 1989 CD this weekend! Love her!
