1989 is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 27, 2014, through Big Machine Records. After releasing her fourth studio album, Red (2012), and embarking on The Red Tour (2013–14), her personal life generated significant media attention. Swift began planning her follow-up project in 2013 and continued work into 2014, during which time she collaborated with producers such as Max Martin and Shellback—the former served as the album's executive producer along with Swift. The album's title was inspired by the pop-music scene of her birth year, and 1989 eventually became 2014's best-selling album.
1989 is described by Swift as her "first documented official pop album," representing a musical departure from the country pop style of her earlier works. The album's production also differs from Swift's previous work, as 1989 is built over drum programming, synthesizers, pulsating bass, processed backing vocals, and guitars. While the album's lyrical content features elements of Swift's previous style, with content about love and the complexities of relationships, the songwriter explained in an October 2014 television interview that she was inspired by the process of self-discovery that occurred during the two years prior to the release of 1989.
1989 received generally favorable reviews from contemporary music critics, who felt that its experimental production was well executed. The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the US Billboard 200 and selling 1,287,000 copies. In doing so, the album had the highest sales week since 2002, and made Swift the first artist to have three albums sell one million or more copies in a week. It has spawned two number-one singles, "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space", and the top 20 song "Out of the Woods".
Recording
Following the release of her fourth studio album, Red, and its corresponding tour, Swift was "six months deep in the songwriting process." In November 2013, the singer told Billboard that, "There are probably seven or eight that I know I want on the record. It's already evolved into a new sound, and that's all I wanted."
In February 2014, Swift confirmed she was again working with Martin and Shellback, with whom she had collaborated with for the writing of three songs on Red. This time, they were writing "a lot more than three songs together." Jack Antonoff and Ryan Tedder also worked on the album.
In September 2014, Swift told Rolling Stone that one of the songs on the album was taken "straight from the pages of my journal". Though the name of this song is unknown, Swift mentioned another song, "Out of the Woods", which was written with Antonoff, who "really likes that song". Antonoff further explained: "Part of it reads like a diary, and parts of it read like something 100,000 people should be screaming all together. It's got these very big lines that everybody can relate to, which are given weight by her being really honest about personal things." "Out of the Woods" marked the first-ever song that Swift had written over an existing track. Antonoff sent an early version of the song without the vocals or lyrics to Swift, who then added them in a 30-minute time frame.
Music and lyrics
In an interview with Kiss FM (UK), Swift confirmed that the title was inspired by the music developed in her birth year, 1989, which she had re-discovered:
I have a few artists in the late eighties who I think made the most incredible, bold, risky decisions as far as pop music goes. They were really ahead of their time, like Annie Lennox and what Madonna was doing in the late eighties. "Like a Prayer" is legitimately one of the greatest pop songs of all time.
Swift first announced the album on August 18, 2014. She described it as her "first documented, official pop album", stating that she was inspired by late 1980s pop during the recording period.
Musically, 1989 features more electronic production than her previous releases. The album contains drum programming and synthesizers provided by Martin, and the production is backed by a pulsating bass, processed backing vocals, and guitars, which Jem Aswad of Billboard described as providing "texture; an acoustic is audible on just one song."
Her songwriting was described as "unmistakably Swift", by Aswad, who noted Swift's "polysyllabic melodies and playful/-provocative lyrics". However, Aswad noted that Martin and other key collaborators helped Swift's lyrics become more "seasoned and subtle ... than in the past." The album's lyrical content, in accordance with Swift's signature style, is concerned with love and relationships, with an emphasis placed upon the complexities of both.
Songs
The opening track "Welcome to New York" is Swift's tribute to the city that she relocated to in 2014, prior to the album release date. Although 1989 was ranked in the 34th position of Spin magazine's "The 50 Best Albums of 2014" list, reviewer R.B. referred to "Welcome to New York" as a "misstep."
"Blank Space" is an electropop song with influences of minimal pop. Many critics compared the song, which parodies Swift's recent exposure in the media—she was portrayed as "an overly attached man-eater who dates for songwriting material"—to the music of fellow pop artist Lorde.
"Out of the Woods" is a synthpop song, and the first song for which Swift wrote lyrics to a pre-existing track. Speculation as to whom the song is about is rampant. The bridge section of the song references the snowmobile incident that Swift and her former boyfriend, One Direction's Harry Styles, were reported to be involved in during their relationship. Martin produced Swift's vocals for the song.
"All You Had to Do Was Stay" was inspired by a dream of Swift's rather than a real-life romance.
"Shake It Off" is an uptempo pop song with a sound that is in stark contrast to Swift's previous releases, and consists of a central saxophone line. Jason Lipshutz from Billboard compared the song's melody to that of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' song "Thrift Shop" (2013). Lyrically, the song is dedicated to Swift's detractors. Swift explained that, "I’ve learned a pretty tough lesson that people can say whatever they want about us at any time, and we cannot control that. The only thing we can control is our reaction to that."
"How You Get the Girl," the 10th track on the album, was described by Swift as an "instruction manual for men". She told US Weekly, "It's written for a guy who has broken up with his girlfriend, then wants her back after six months," and added, "but it's not going to be as simple as sending a text like, 'Sup? Miss you.'"
Singles
On August 18, 2014, Swift premiered the album's first single, "Shake It Off", which was cowritten with Martin and Shellback, and produced by Martin and Shellback. The music video, directed by Mark Romanek, was also premiered during the live stream. It features professional dancers, Swift, and several fans picked from Instagram, Twitter, and fan letters she received.
Swift's second single, "Blank Space", appeared on the Mainstream Top 40, Rhythmic Top 40 and Hot AC radio on November 10. The music video for the song was leaked on the same day by Yahoo!, after which time Swift released the video on Vevo—Yahoo! pulled their version offline after Swift's prompt response.
"Style" is scheduled to be released as the third single from 1989 on February 10, 2015.
Release and promotion
Swift began teasing an announcement in August 2014. On August 4, she posted a video on Instagram in which she pushes the number 18 in an elevator. On August 6, she tweeted an image of the time "5:00," and the next day a screenshot from a Yahoo! homepage. She then unveiled the album cover, a Polaroid picture with "T. S. 1989" written underneath. The album was made available for pre-order after the live stream ended.
The album was released on October 27, 2014, in the United States, with a standard 13-track edition released to retailers and digital download sites, while a deluxe edition, including three extra songs and three voice memos, was released exclusively by Target.
In Germany and the United Kingdom, the album was also released to wide retail and digital download—both were the standard 13-track edition—while the deluxe edition was released on the same day. However, the album leaked online a few days before its official release.
In line with the album's visual theme, and to boost CD sales, Big Machine decided to include 13 of 65 collectible polaroids with every physical copy of 1989. Scott Borchetta, the record label's founder, claims that the idea came from Swift and her team. The ploy reportedly boosted Polaroid Corporation's ailing sales.
In order to promote the album, Swift released "Out of the Woods" as a countdown single from the album on October 14, 2014. The following week, "Welcome to New York" was released as the second countdown single on October 20, 2014. On October 28, Starbucks announced "This Love" as their Pick of the Week, offering a free iTunes download to customers.
Swift will embark on the album's supporting tour, The 1989 World Tour, on May 5, 2015, in Tokyo. The first stage of the tour will then visit Europe and North America, before the dates for other Asian locations and Oceania at a later time. Australian artist Vance Joy will support Swift during the North American dates.
Commercial performance
Two weeks prior to the album's release, forecasters predicted that it would sell 750,000 copies in its opening week, the following week the predictions were upgraded to 800,000, and then 900,000. After selling over 600,000 copies on the first day of release, Billboard announced a sales projection of 1.2 million copies for the week, which was then revised to a total in excess of 1.3 million, after 751,000 units were sold after two days. The album eventually sold 1,287,000 copies during the first week of release in the US. Additional copies were sold for US$0.99 through a Microsoft promotion but were not included in the total due to a Nielsen SoundScan policy of not including sales priced under $3.99.
The album's performance broke Swift's own personal sales record, and became the 19th album to sell over one million copies in a single week since SoundScan began tracking sales in 1991. It was the seventh highest sales week in history, and the highest sales week since 2002, when Eminem's The Eminem Show sold 1.3 million units. Swift also became the first artist to release three albums that sold one million or more copies within a single week.
Upon release, 1989 became the best-selling album released in the U.S. in 2014, surpassing Coldplay's Ghost Stories (745,000 copies), but ranked below the Frozen soundtrack—the latter remained America's best-selling album of the year at that time (3.5 million copies). The album remained in the top spot of the Billboard 200 during the second and third week of release, selling over two million copies in total. In its fourth week, the album was replaced by One Direction's Four, but returned to number one again for the fourth time in its fifth week.
The album sold 200,000 or more copies in each of the 10 successive weeks after release, a feat last achieved by Usher's Confessions in 2004. 1989 eventually sold over 3,660,000 copies during the year, becoming the best-selling album in the U.S. in 2014.
By the end of the first week of January 2015, 1989 had topped the chart for eight non-consecutive weeks, establishing Swift as the female artist with the second-highest number of total weeks—with 33 weeks—in the number-one Billboard position for all of her albums, while Whitney Houston's record total of 46 weeks at number one remained intact.
In Canada, the album debuted at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 107,000 copies. In its second week, the album remained at number one with sales of 37,000, bringing its two week sales total to 144,000 copies.
In the UK, 1989 sold 90,000 in its first week and debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart. It became her second number-one album in the UK, following Red (2012), and was the fastest-selling female solo album in 2014.

At Metacritic, which assigns a "weighted average" rating out of 100 from selected independent ratings and reviews from mainstream critics, the album received a Metascore of 76, based on 30 reviews, indicating "generally favorable reviews". Writing for Rolling Stone, and rating the album four-out-of-five stars, Sheffield states: "Deeply weird, feverishly emotional, wildly enthusiastic, 1989 sounds exactly like Taylor Swift, even when it sounds like nothing she's ever tried before."
Neil McCormick of The Daily Telegraph rated the album four-out-of-five stars and claims: "The immediate impression is slick; candyfloss cheerleading, full of American fizz." In another four-out-of-five-star review, Alexis Petridis of The Guardian says the album "deals in undeniable melodies and huge, perfectly turned choruses and nagging hooks. Its sound is a lovingly done reboot of the kind of late 80s MTV pop-rock exemplified by Jane Wiedlin’s Rush Hour."
