I fervently disagree with the Lana comparison, though. I loved the urgency of the beat in "Out of the Woods," but the lyrics were a little lame (or, at the very least, repetitive)-"Wildest Dreams" has the same forward motion with much better storytelling. Green: Mind meld: I've been listening to "Wildest Dreams" on repeat for the last 20 minutes. The spectacle of the lead-up to a Taylor Swift album is half the fun. ("Shake It Off" as a riff on Avril Lavigne's "Boyfriend," for instance.) Even if this is a bit of a carbon copy, it's one hell of a copy. Plus, almost every song on this record is derivative of some other pop artist. Lana doesn't have a monopoly on singing about "rosy cheeks" and wearing a "nice dress" with a breathy voice on the chorus. Some are calling it Lana Del Rey lite, but I think that's unfair. It's sexy-can you believe it? She has been fun, girly, dark, deep, exciting, evocative, and a bunch of other great adjectives, but I would argue she's never before been sexy. O'Keeffe: What stands out on this album for y'all? For me, it's "Wildest Dreams" by a country mile. While no song will ever quite top “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” for me, this album was, at first listen, a perfect and total transition from Taylor's countrified pop phase to this new cheekily anthemic and more stylistically diverse sound. While Beyonce’s surprise release of her surprise album last December epitomized the album-drop-as-spectacle phenomenon (for me at least), cueing up for my first listen to 1989 still gave me mini heart palpitations. I felt neither fatigue like Kevin nor dread like Emma, but I agree with Julie that it’s always fun to be part of the hyperbolic frenzy that precedes the album actually dropping, to the extent that texting your friends with “omg did you hear new tswift!?” is fun (it is). In other words: 1989 is the first T-Swift album that I’ve listened to in its entirety. Lenika Cruz: First, I should say that I like Taylor, but I’m a fan of the casual-but-enthusiastic, radio-listening variety.

It is one of the best-selling singles of all time. It also charted in the top 10 in numerous countries, such as Austria, Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom. The song has also topped charts in Canada, South Africa, Australia and Scotland. It has also been included in numerous year-end critics' lists. It has received universal acclaim from critics. Swift became the first woman in the Hot 100's 56-year history to succeed herself at the top spot. Within three weeks, "Blank Space" reached number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 following "Shake It Off". It is an electropop song with lyrics that satirize the media's perception of Swift and her relationships. The song was released to the radio by Republic Records on Novemas the album's second single, after "Shake It Off" and is the second track on the album. It was written by Swift, Max Martin and Shellback. "Blank Space" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift for her fifth studio album 1989 (2014).
