    Sí tiene bops, pero pronto te das cuenta que las mejores canciones son precisamente los singles y que a excepción de algunos, los side tracks son genéricos o repetitivos sin replay value.

    One of the most iconic and best selling pop albums of the 2010s. Taylor really delivered her most iconic pop hits ever in this fun, well-written album

    Probably the most incredible spectacle that pop music had received on the 2010s, Swift’s first full pop piece has gathered everything that a popstar could reunite to make an art unique, and what a difference that make when an artist write and produce her own songs, you can feel that she lived every inch of what she has been singing, a fabulous, undeniably pop masterpiece of 2010 decade!

    What truly puts Swift’s fifth full-length in its own class is the combination of brilliant songwriting and incredible production.

    Um dos álbuns que mais grita "Pop" na discografia da Taylor. Tem boas músicas mas vai de uma forma bem decrescente de qualidade, parece que ela ficou tanto tempo trabalhando pelas 16 músicas que quando chegou no finalzinho, a preguiça falou mais alto e ela jogou o que deu. 'Blank Space', 'Out of the Woods', 'Wildest Dream' são faixas que ilustram bem essa fase da Taylor.

    1989 Sets Swift as a major pop-star. Everything inside the record feels perfectly crafted , and has Antonoff's mark all over it's production. The result?, a solid record that rebuilt pop music with almost none contemporary references. 1989 is the beginning of Pop-Taylor. Same storytelling mixed with the best production the pop genre has seen in a while .

    Taylor Swift deja de lado la delicadeza del country y por su parte nos trae ahora un lado más frío, bohemio y cohesivo. 1989 es el pop por si mismo. Es agradable. Bueno. No obstante. Sigue careciendo de una escencia o factor mágico. Sigue careciendo de letras que te lleguen realmente. Sin embargo, sencillos como Clean nos muestran que Miss Swift sigue teniendo la el toque lírico de antes.

    With 1989 she has succeeded in leveraging the most cordial and familiar of pop music outpourings to something that feels like a statement, a work of note and the sinew of some kind of emotional connective tissue–binding tastemakers, rock critics, guys I work with and my 12 year old cousin; irrevocably and unexpectedly.

    1989 is full of cliches, but the truth is that we wouldn't expect them to not be present anyway.
