1989 is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 27, 2014 through Big Machine Records. Swift started songwriting for the album in mid-2013, during which she was touring in support of her fourth studio release Red (2012). Contemporary critics noted Red's mild departure from Swift's characteristic country sound and incorporation of straightforward pop production, a result of Swift's collaborations with Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback. For Red's follow-up, the singer completely forsook country and was inspired by 1980s synth-pop. The majority of the album was produced by Martin and Shellback, and the former and Swift served as executive producers.

Recording sessions finalized in mid-2014, when Swift had finished her world tour in support of Red. Titled after Swift's birth year, 1989 is a synth-pop record that utilizes heavy synthesizers, programmed percussion, and processed background vocals, effectively eschewing Swift's signature country sound. The lyrics address wistful perspectives on past romantic relationships and therefrom express self-discovery. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics; the pop production polarized reviewers, but Swift's evolved songwriting garnered mostly favorable responses. 1989 won Album of the Year at the 58th Grammy Awards, making Swift the first female solo artist to win the category twice.

The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.287 million copies, making Swift the first artist to achieve three million-selling albums within first week of release in the country. It also reached number one in several markets including Australia, Canada, and the UK. 1989 was among the best-selling albums of 2014 and 2015 globally, and has sold 6.1 million copies in the US and 10.1 million copies worldwide. The album was promoted by seven singles, three of which charted atop the US Billboard Hot 100—"Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and a remix of "Bad Blood" featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar. Its associated world tour ran from May to December 2015 and accumulated over $250 million, becoming one of the highest-grossing concert tours of the 2010s decade.

Background

Taylor Swift released her fourth studio album Red in October 2012 to commercial success; the album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.2 million copies.[1] Contemporary publications noted the album's mild departure from Swift's signature country sound of previous releases and incorporation of straightforward pop hooks and new genres including electronic and dubstep, as showcased on Swift's three collaborations with renowned Swedish pop producers Max Martin and Shellback—"22", "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".[2][3][4][5] The album's associated world tour ran from March 2013 to June 2014 and grossed over $150 million.[6]

Swift had been dubbed by the media as "America's Sweetheart" for her wholesome public image.[7] During this time, however, her reputation was suffering from what The New York Times called "a backlash" resulting from her overexposed romantic relationships with high-profile celebrities. Swift opted against discussing her personal life in public,[8] as she believes that talking about it can be a "career weakness".[9] In June 2013, Swift was part of the line-up for the CMA Music Festival.[10] At the festival's backstage, Swift told reporters that she was ready to work on the next album, less than eight months after the release of Red.[11] Four months later, she released the single "Sweeter than Fiction" for the soundtrack to the movie One Chance. The single was co-written by Swift and Jack Antonoff, the guitarist for indie band Fun, and incorporates elements of 1980s new wave.[12] In May 2014, Swift relocated to New York City.[13] She confessed that she had been "intimidated" by the city, but ultimately began to love it.[14]

Production

I woke up [one morning] at 4 a.m. and I [decided the album is] called 1989. I've been making '80s synth pop, I'm just gonna do that. I'm calling it a pop record. I'm not listening to anyone at my label.

—Swift on her musical direction for 1989[15]

Songwriting process for Red's follow-up began in mid-2013, when Swift was touring in support of Red.[16] Desiring to create a "sonically cohesive record", Swift aimed to recruit a coherent production team of four to five personnel that she "always wanted to work with, or loved working with".[15] Speaking to the Associated Press in October 2013, she suggested that she could work again with Max Martin and Shellback, whom she described as "absolute dream collaborators" because they would take her ideas with a different direction that challenged her as a songwriter.[16] She confirmed the collaborations in February 2014.[17]

After recording several tracks with Martin and Shellback, Swift realized she "[had] been making '80s synth pop" and subsequently decided to embark on this direction, titling the album 1989 after her birth year.[15] Scott Borchetta, president of Swift's label Big Machine, was initially reluctant towards Swift's decision to completely eschew her signature country styles.[18] He attempted to persuade Swift to record a few country tracks,[18] but the singer insisted on following her choice.[15] Borchetta ultimately accepted Swift's new materials and recognized that her new songs would not impact country radio.[19] Martin and Shellback produced seven out of 13 tracks for the album's standard edition;[20] the former also served as executive producer alongside Swift in overseeing the coalition of the record.[15]

"I Wish You Would"

Jack Antonoff, with whom Swift had teamed up on "Sweeter than Fiction" in October 2013, co-wrote and co-produced two tracks on the standard edition.[20] The singer told Entertainment Weekly two months following the release of "Sweeter than Fiction" that there was a "huge chance" of her and Antonoff working together again because of his 1980s-styled production.[22] Antonoff sent his finished instrumental track of "Out of the Woods" to Swift while she was on a plane,[23] and she sent him back a voice memo containing the lyrics roughly 30 minutes later.[14] The song, for which Swift wrote the lyrics on an existing track, marked a departure from the singer's traditional songwriting.[24] The pair's other collaborative product, "I Wish You Would", stemmed from Antonoff's experimental sampling of snare drum instrumentation on Fine Young Cannibals' 1988 single "She Drives Me Crazy", one of their mutual favorite songs. Antonoff first played his sample to Swift on an iPhone and subsequently sent it to the singer to re-record.[21]

Swift contacted Ryan Tedder, whom she had always wanted to work with, through a smartphone voice memo.[25] He co-produced two songs—"Welcome to New York" and "I Know Places".[20] For the latter, Swift scheduled a meeting day at the studio, where she explained to Tedder her desired artistic direction that was already formed in her mind, and the recording process was finalized the following day.[25] For "Clean", Swift approached English producer Imogen Heap in London after having written the song's lyrics and melody. Heap helped completing the track by playing instruments on it, and they finished recording after two takes within one day at Heap's home studio.[15] Nathan Chapman, Swift's longtime collaborator, co-produced the track "This Love".[20] Recording sessions took place at Conway Studios in Los Angeles, Jungle City Studios in New York, Lamby's House Studios in Brooklyn, MXM Studios in Stockholm, Pain in the Art Studio in Nashville, Studio Elevator Nobody in Göteborg, and The Hideaway Studio in Minneapolis.[20] The whole album was mastered by Tom Coyne within two days at Sterling Sound Studio in New York City.[15][20] Swift finalized the record upon completing the Asian leg of her world tour by mid-2014.[26]

Music and lyrics

Swift described 1989 as her "first documented, official pop album" that was inspired by pop music of the 1980s.[27] In an interview with Rolling Stone in September 2014, Swift elaborated on this inspiration, labeling the 1980s as an "experimental" period when artists forsook the "standard drums-guitar-bass-whatever" generic song structure and experimented with stripped-down synthesizers, drum pads, and overlapped vocals. Nevertheless, she asserted that she was not influenced by any particular musicians, but by the experimental energy that embraced "endless opportunities, endless possibilities, endless ways".[21]

1989 is a pop album that features more electronic-oriented production compared to Swift's previous releases, marking the official departure from Swift's signature country sound.[28] The standard edition is composed of 13 tracks, and the deluxe edition includes three extra original songs.[29][30] The album's instrumentation is primarily driven by Martin's signature synthesizers, programmed percussion, and processed background vocals.[31] Sasha Geffen from Consequence of Sound characterized the album as a synth-pop album that incorporates hip hop-influenced beats and 1980s-styled bassline.[32] Jon Caramanica writing for The New York Times opined that on 1989, Swift did not keep up with contemporary hip hop and R&B crossover trends and managed to embrace music of the mid-1980s when "pop was less overtly hybrid".[33] The Observer's Kitty Empire also noted the formative influence of 1980s synth-pop on the album that conveys Swift's evolved "stylistic and tonal variation".[34]

"Out of the Woods"
Described by Swift as the song that "best represents" the album, "Out of the Woods" was inspired by one of her affairs which she felt fragile.[35] The track incorporates heavy 1980s-styled synthesizers and percussion.[24]

The album addresses the emotions and reflections ensued from romantic relationships, Swift's common theme.[31][34][36] It therefrom expresses self-discovery, a difference from her previous releases.[32][37] Rolling Stone observed that the album was Swift's first "in years" to not speak ill of her ex-lovers and instead express "wistful and nostalgic" perspectives on romance.[14] "Out of the Woods" features a graphic imagery of a car accident surgery requiring "twenty stitches in a hospital room".[34][38] Swift revealed that the track was inspired by one of her real-life relationships which evoked constant anxiety due to its fragility,[35] and picked it as a favorite from 1989, feeling that it "best represents" the album.[39] The singer also pointed out "I Know Places" as a loose sequel to "Out of the Woods", detailing that the track expresses her desire to run away from others' scrutiny to preserve that fragile affair.[35] "All You Had to Do Was Stay" talks about the lament for a past relationship and originated from Swift's dream of shouting "Stay" to an ex-lover despite not wanting to do so.[40] The bubblegum pop-oriented "I Wish You Would" features guitar in its instrumentation[28][33] and expresses the same sentiment.[31]

The opening track "Welcome to New York" was inspired by Swift's relocation to New York City in March 2014, conveying her transition from initial intimidation to courage to indulge in the city.[21] "Style" incorporates elements of funk and disco,[41][42] and commends conventional beauty standards, featuring a reference to the 1950s cultural icon James Dean.[32] "Blank Space" satirizes the media's scrutiny on Swift's history of romantic relationships.[41] Conveying a loosely similar sentiment, "Shake It Off" is dedicated to Swift's detractors and their negative remarks on her image.[43] "Bad Blood" is about portrayal by whom Swift described as an unnamed female peer.[14] "Wildest Dreams" speaks of a dangerous affair with an apparently untrustworthy man and incorporates a sultry, dramatic atmosphere that received various comparisons to works by Lana Del Rey.[28][33][42][44] Closing tracks of the standard edition "This Love" and "Clean" contain elements of soft rock;[45] the latter features an imagery of Swift washing an ex-lover out of her hair.[38] Two of the three bonus tracks on the deluxe edition, "Wonderland" and "New Romantics", remain in line with the album's synth-pop sound. The other, "You Are In Love", features a more balladic composition.[28]

Release and promotion

Pre-release promotion

On August 4, 2014, Swift teased the album's release upon posting an Instagram video in which she pushes an elevator button for floor number "18" several times.[46] Two days later, she tweeted a screenshot image of her phone which shows the Statue of Liberty. The following day, she tweeted a screenshot from a Yahoo! homepage, featuring the words "This is clue number 3" in the search bar.[47] On August 18, via a Yahoo! live stream at the Empire State Building, Swift ultimately revealed the then-anticipated album's details, including the title 1989, cover artwork, and release date.[48] The cover is a Polaroid picture with the words "T. S. 1989" written underneath, and the release date was expected to be October 27.[27]

Following the live stream, Swift announced that she would handle out a total of 1989 "SwiftStakes", a wordplay of sweepstakes, to her fans.[27] The winners would earn tickets to Swift's future concert shows or 1989-related merchandise.[49] She also selected a number of fans based on their engagement on social media and invited them to her houses or hotel rooms for secret album-listening sessions, called "The 1989 Secret Sessions". The Los Angeles Times' Randy Lewis wrote that this strategy aimed to ensure Swift's audiences would continue to support her following the singer's decision to eschew her signature country styles.[50] The sessions took place in Los Angeles, New York City, Nashville, Rhode Island, and London throughout September 2014. Footage videos of the sessions were subsequently released on October 16, a few days before the album's release.[51]

Distribution

The album was released on October 27, 2014 through Big Machine Records; both the standard and deluxe editions were released for digital download through retailer services globally,[29] except in the US and Canada, where the deluxe edition was released as a CD exclusively by Target.[25][52] Three days before the distribution, all tracks from the deluxe edition leaked online; the USA Today reported that according to music experts, the incident would not affect sales nonetheless.[53] Each CD copy of 1989 includes a packet of 13 Polaroid pictures, portraying Swift during the making of the album;[54] this strategy reportedly boosted Polaroid Corporation's ailing sales.[55] To bolster album sales, Swift had tie-ins with Subway, Keds and Diet Coke.[56]

Prior to the album's release, in July 2014, Swift wrote an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal stressing the importance of albums to artists and fans, and expressing concern over predictions of "downfall of music sales and the irrelevancy of the album as an economic entity".[57] Within 1989's first week of release, Swift removed her entire catalog from Spotify, arguing that the streaming company's ad-supported, free service undermined the premium service which provides higher royalties for songwriters.[58] In a June 2015 open letter, Swift criticized Apple Music for not offering royalties to artists during the streaming service's free three-month trial period and stated that she would pull 1989 from the catalog.[59] The following day, Apple announced that it would pay artists during the free trial period,[60] and Swift agreed to keep 1989 on the streaming service.[61] She re-added her entire catalog to Spotify, Amazon Music and Google Play in June 2017.[62]

Singles

Swift premiered the lead single from 1989, "Shake It Off", and its accompanying music video through the August 18, 2014 Yahoo! live stream.[27][63] The single debuted atop the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Swift's second number one following 2012's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together".[64] It also reached number one in Australia and Canada, and number two in the UK.[65] "Out of the Woods"[66] and "Welcome to New York"[67] were released through iTunes Stores as promotional singles on October 14 and 20, respectively. "Blank Space" was serviced to US contemporary hit and adult contemporary radio on November 10, 2014 as the album's second single.[68] It took the number-one position of Billboard Hot 100 from "Shake It Off" on the chart dated November 29, 2014, making Swift the first woman in the chart's history to succeed herself at the top spot.[69] The single remained at number one for seven consecutive weeks, marking Swift's longest run at the top.[70] "Style" followed on February 9, 2015,[71] and was less commercially successful compared to the previous singles, reaching number six in the US and Canada, and number eight in Australia.[65]

A remix of "Bad Blood" featuring rapper Kendrick Lamar was released as 1989's fourth single on May 17, 2015.[72] Its music video received widespread media attention for featuring Swift's high-profile celebrity friends including Karlie Kloss, Lena Dunham, and Selena Gomez.[73] The video won Video at the Year at the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards,[74] and the single itself reached number one in Australia, Canada, the US, and number four in the UK.[65] "Wildest Dreams" served as the follow-up single on August 31, 2015,[75] and became 1989's fifth consecutive Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single, peaking at number five.[65] Previous promotional single "Out of the Woods" was released as the sixth single on February 5, 2016.[76][77] On February 17, Swift announced that she would release the three deluxe edition-included tracks to iTunes Stores in the US as promotional singles,[78] and distributed the first, "Wonderland".[79] "You Are In Love" followed on February 24,[80] and "New Romantics" was made available on March 3.[81] The latter was released to US contemporary hit radio on February 23, 2016 as the seventh and final single from the album.[82][83]

Swift further promoted the album on several live TV appearances. On August 24, 2014, Swift performed the album's lead single "Shake It Off" at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards in Inglewood, California.[84] She was part of the 2014 iHeartRadio Music Festival line-up on September 19 in Las Vegas, where she performed 1989's lead single among several of her previous songs including "Love Story" and "I Knew You Were Trouble".[85] Swift later performed "Shake It Off" again on the British and Australian editions of the TV music competition The X Factor on October 12 and 20, respectively.[86] On October 23, she presented the lead single and "Out of the Woods" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[87] She sang the two songs again the following day at CBS Radio's "We Can Survive" benefit concert, held at the Hollywood Bowl.[88]

Concurrently with the release of the album on October 27, 2014, Yahoo! and iHeartRadio live-broadcast Swift's final "1989 Secret Session", which took place on the rooftop of the Empire State Building and featured five songs—"Welcome to New York", "Out of the Woods", "Style", "Blank Space", and "Shake It Off".[89] The following day, Swift performed "Welcome to New York" on Late Show with David Letterman.[90] Two days later, Swift presented three songs from the album—"Welcome to New York", "Out of the Woods", and "Shake It Off"—live on Good Morning America.[91] On November 24, Swift performed "Blank Space" at the 2014 American Music Awards, where she also received the ceremony' first-ever Dick Clark Award for Excellence.[92] She performed the song again at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2014 on December 2 in London, where she also performed "Style".[93] Swift headlined the Jingle Ball Tour 2014, broadcast by KIIS-FM on December 5, where she performed the singles "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space".[94] The album's supporting world tour ran from May to December 2015 and accumulated over $250 million, becoming the highest-grossing tour of 2015 and one of the highest-grossing of the decade.[95]

1989 received generally positive reviews. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 based on reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 76 based on 29 sources.[97] On behalf of NME, Matthew Horton considered Swift's transition to pop "a success".[45] The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica complimented Swift's avoidance of contemporary hip hop/R&B crossover trends, which upgraded the singer to "a mode of timelessness".[33] Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield remarked that the album, despite eschewing Swift's trademark country styles, "sounds exactly like Taylor Swift" for its overproduction regardless of Swift's musical direction. He then favorably characterized the record as "deeply weird, feverishly emotional, wildly enthusiastic".[103] The A.V. Club's Marah Eakin praised Swift's evolved maturity from overtly romantic struggles to more positive themes.[99]

Writing for The Daily Telegraph, Neil McCormick commended the album's "[sharp] observation and emotional engagement" that evoked contrast to lyrics of mainstream music.[101] Alexis Petridis from The Guardian acknowledged the "clever", "sharp" and "perfectly attuned" 1980s-styled direction that was the result of Swift's songwriting rather than Martin's trademark pop production.[44] By contrast, Entertainment Weekly's Adam Markovitz was critical of the album's heavy synthesizers that undermined Swift's conventionally well-crafted lyrics. Nevertheless, he still praised the singer as "too unique, too identifiably herself".[102] Andrew Unterberger from Spin was similarly concerned over the album's excessive synthesizers that led to "lyrics occasionally getting buried", but was positive towards its 1980s synth-pop-oriented coherence.[104]

Robert Christgau, while noted the album's "treated hooks and doctored vocals" that had been trademark of Swift's music, applauded the singer's departure from "Nashville's myth of the natural" that allowed her to experiment new styles.[100] Shane Kimberlin writing for musicOMH was skeptical about Swift's transition to pop on 1989, but praised the album's lyrics for bringing forth enthusiasm and condemning negativity.[105] However, AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine accused Swift of being aloof in celebrating temporal pop subjects on what he felt as an attempt to record "a sparkling soundtrack to an aspirational lifestyle".[98] Mikael Wood, in his review for the Los Angeles Times, called 1989 a "sleekly-produced pop record" that failed to incorporate meaningful lyrics and "needs to have some real life".[42]

Accolades

1989 placed at number six on Metacritic's list of the best-received records of 2014, based on inclusions in publications' year-end lists.[106] It was ranked as the best album of the year by Billboard,[107] Cosmopolitan,[108] and the Houston Chronicle.[109] The album was ranked within the top ten by various publications, being placed at number three by Drowned in Sound,[110] number four by American Songwriter,[111] The Denver Post,[112] and Time,[113] number five by The Daily Telegraph,[114] number eight by Complex,[115] number nine by Newsday,[116] and number ten by Rolling Stone[117] and The Philadelphia Inquirer.[118]

On behalf of NPR, critic Ken Tucker ranked 1989 at number three on his list of 2014's best albums, lauding it as "gleefully bold" that kept audiences to listen from start to finish like The Beatles's Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967) did.[119] The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica placed 1989 at number seven on his list, praising Swift for "[retaining] her self" notwithstanding her departure in musical styles.[120] The album placed at number seven on Pazz & Jop, an annual mass critics' poll conducted by The Village Voice,[121] and was ranked at number 15 by The A.V. Club[122] and PopMatters,[123] number 31 by Pitchfork,[124] and number 32 by musicOMH.[125]

1989 won Favorite Pop/Rock Album at the 2015 American Music Awards,[126] and Album of the Year at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards.[127] At the 58th Grammy Awards, the album received two awards for Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album.[128] Swift became the first female solo artist to win the former category twice—her first win was for Fearless in 2010.[129]

Commercial performance

With 11 weeks atop the US Billboard 200, 1989 made Swift the female artist with the second-most weeks at number one on the chart behind Whitney Houston (pictured).

1989 was released amidst a sharp decrease of traditional album sales due to the emergence of digital download and streaming platforms.[130] Its sales performance therefore was subject to considerable media speculation, given both the situation of the industry and Swift's decision to eschew her characteristic country roots.[131][132] One week prior to the release, Rolling Stone reported that US retailers predicted the album to sell from 600,000 to 750,000 copies within its debut week.[130] Exceeding expectations, 1989 debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 1.287 million copies, according to data compiled by Nielsen SoundScan for the chart dated November 15, 2014. With this accomplishment, Swift became the first artist to have three million-selling albums within the first week of release following 2010's Speak Now at 1.047 million and 2012's Red at 1.208 million. 1989 also immediately became the only album released in 2014 to sell one million copies.[133] The album's actual first-week sales were higher due to copies sold for $0.99 through a Microsoft promotion were not counted in accordance with the magazine's policy of not including sales priced under $3.99.[134] Billboard attributed the album's overwhelming success to Swift's heartwarming interactions with fans via social media, tie-ins with large companies, and withdrawal from free streaming services.[132]

It exceeded two million copies in its third week of release,[135] and spent a total of five non-consecutive weeks at number one for the 2014 chart history.[136] 1989 was the best-selling album of 2014 in the US, with sales of 3.66 million copies.[137] The album topped the Billboard 200 for six additional weeks during the 2015 chart history, accumulating a total of 11 weeks on the number-one position. With this achievement, it became the fourth album since the 2000s to spend more than ten weeks at number one, following Swift's Fearless (2008–09), Adele's 21 (2011–12), and the soundtrack Frozen (2014). It also made Swift the female artist with the second-highest number of weeks at the top spot, at 35 weeks, only behind Whitney Houston, who spent 46 weeks at number one.[138] 1989 spent 53 weeks in the top ten and has been remaining on the chart for over 200 weeks.[139] It was the best-performing album on the Billboard 200 of 2015,[140] and has been certified ninefold platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which denotes album-equivalent units of nine million copies.[141] As of January 2018, the album has sold 6.11 million copies in the US.[142] 1989 likewise achieved commercial success in Canada, debuting atop the album chart and becoming 2014's best-selling album in the country with sales of 314,000 units.[143][144] It has since been certified sixfold platinum by Music Canada (MC), which denotes shipments of 480,000 units there.[145]

1989 debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 90,000 units, becoming 2014's fastest-selling album by a female artist in the country.[146] It has sold 1.081 million copies and earned fourfold platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).[147] 1989 also achieved commercial success throughout Europe, reaching the top five of national charts in the Netherlands,[148] Ireland,[149] and Norway at number one,[150] Denmark at number two,[151] Portugal[152] and Switzerland at number three,[153] Germany[154] and Spain at number four,[155] and Austria[156] and Italy at number five.[157] In Oceania, the album peaked atop record charts of both Australia and New Zealand,[158] and has received diamond and threefold platinum certifications from the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) and Recorded Music NZ (RMNZ), respectively.[159][160] The album was similarly successful in Japan, where it reached number three and was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).[161][162] According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry (IFPI), it was the second and third best-selling album of 2014 and 2015, respectively, and has sold 10.1 million copies worldwide by the end of 2016.[163]
