The best Taylor Swift album so far for me. I just love listening to every single songs of this album, it's just amazing. Taylor serves every song with a different feeling and that is amazing. She can move on from one style to another, from the mystical and serious pop "Blank Space" to a catchy pop song "Shake It Off". She can transform her breakup anthem into something else, into a song like you can never imagine. This is her first official pop album btw...and I completely in love with it. This album speaks a thousand words that I have failed to say it, and Taylor can say it all. Oh and btw, this album sold 1,287,000 copies in its first week of release.

I don't really like 1989's album artwork, I can't see Taylor's face, and I think it's too simple for a hit album like this. She needs more powerful artwork, more artistic artwork for a strong album. The artwork is the first thing that customers will see in the store, if the artwork can fascinate them, it will get their attention eventually, and buy it. But that doesn't matter, Taylor could prove that what I'm saying is wrong. Her album spent more than 20 weeks at #1 on Billboard 200, she has spawned 3 #1 singles from this album, with "Blank Space" spent 8 consecutive weeks at the top of Hot 100 chart. It's not easy to do that, there was Ellie Goulding, Ed Sheeran, and also Beyonce and Rihanna, but Taylor did it all. 

This album won her 8 Billboard Music Awards at BBMAs 2015, and she becomes the most winning artist of all the time at BBMAs. Her total wins is 21 trophies, she beats Adele, Rihanna and Mariah Carey. Amazing? of course, I am her fan. She also won Grammy Awards 2016 and also performed her newest single that time "Out of the Woods", she opened the award show with that hit, and it was amazing how she performed and welcomed all the guests.

All the music videos are powerful and great, just like RED's music videos. The only thing makes it different is, that Taylor more mature and brave in every of her music videos. She speaks it all, she sings it all, and most importantly she shakes it off. I recommend every songs to be listened to, all are worth listening, especially all her singles from 1989. She won "Best Touring Artist" at both Billboard Music Awards 2016 and iHeart Music Awards 2016. No wonder, she's now in the top 5 of highest paid artist of 2016. 

See? She can serve multiple style of music and look and fashion in her music videos. My favorite are Blank Space MV, Bad Blood MV and Out of the Woods MV. They are amazing and it must've been very hard to make. Thanks to the director, Joseph Kahn, who directed 6 of 7 music videos from 1989.

And here are some highlights and trademarks of 1989 World Tour. I love her "Welcome to New York" and "New Romantics" outfit. During her 1989 world tour, she had invited many star guests such as: Julia Robert, Ellen Degeneres, Avril Lavigne, Justin Timberlake, Idina Menzel, Cobe Bryant, Sean O'Pry (her "Blank Space" male model), Ellie Goulding, Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Karlie Kloss, Kendrick Lamar, Fetty Wap, Charli XCX, and well many more.
That's her winning 8 trophies at 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

Happy downloading and listening to this album readers! You won't regret it!
