"Style" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, taken from her fifth studio album, 1989 (2014). The song was written by Swift and with its producers Max Martin, Shellback, and Ali Payami. "Style" was released to radio stations as the album's third single on February 9, 2015, by Republic Records in partnership with Big Machine. Musically, the song incorporates funk-pop, pop rock and synth-pop, featuring heavy synthesizers, vocal reverberation, and a disco-tinged groove. The lyrics are about an unhealthy relationship from which a couple could not escape, because they are never "out of style".

The song received positive reviews from critics, many of whom deemed it the album's highlight. The song was nominated for International Work of the Year at the APRA Music Awards, and appeared on year-end lists by Pitchfork (2014) and Pazz & Jop (2015). In the US, "Style" peaked at number six on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming 1989's third consecutive Hot 100 top-ten single. It was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). "Style" also entered the top ten on charts and received multi-platinum certifications in Australia and Canada. It was the third bestselling adult contemporary song of 2015 in the US. This song is perfect in every way. It won't disappoint you.
