Taylor Swift, Queen of Country, released her fifth album, "1989" on 27 Oct 2014.

Shake It Off

This was a surprising change from country to pop and synthpop, which was firstly known from "Shake It Off", the leading single of the album. Although in my opinion this sudden change might lose some of those country-loving fans, the leading single is still pretty catchy and was able to make it to no. 1 on the Billboard 100.

Out of the Woods

The next one, "Out of the Woods", wasn't as interesting as I expected, but my fondness grew as I repeat the songs to listen well. It was somewhat deeper in synthpop, but overall, it was an "Okay" song.

The third single, "Welcome to New York" was criticized "weak" by some critics; however, I find it really nice (probably 'cause I love electronic), and the song is somewhat more electronic than the other.
Soon, the rest of the tracks were released along with the release of the album itself. Some of the songs kind of reminds me of some Lorde's music, like (Then I realized, Lorde helped in the production of the 1989 album) and also the track "Style" sounds kinda like "Turn to You (Mother's Day Special)" by Justin Bieber. While some of the songs like "Wildest Dreams" and "This Love" really remind me of Lana del Rey, and "Wildest Dreams" REALLY sound like Lana del Rey's "Without You".


Not trying to hate, but I think Taylor might be finding inspirations from other artists for this new change. However, this two songs were almost similar (well, not lyrically) musically. Try it out! I might not be right, and Swifties, I'm sorry, but I don't hate Taylor. In fact, I literally replayed this album a lot. *LOL*
Overall, the album was a surprisingly amazing change. Not only she stepped out of her boundaries in music, but also gained more experience and also made better songs while experimenting with her voice in the tracks of this album. Though I would suggest her not to went that far to pop, but this is a sign she has the talent to adapt to new genres.
