Current Events > What's your favorite song off of Taylor Swift's 1989?

(+) Yeah! (+)

mine is definitely New Romantics

I'll have to listen to the vault tracks more though

Blank Space

I'll listen now and get back to you.

New Romantics was the only song I liked on that album.

Blank Space

Apparently the spot on the album for Blank Space was between that and Slut! so I'm glad Blank Space won - I like the other song but I feel like Blank Space is probably her most iconic song she has

respectable choice, it's a good one

it's a great song

Nobody asked for all this but I felt it would be fun to do anyway.

Never heard anything but Blank Space and Shake It Off before but I liked Midnights a lot so I thought I'd check out "Taylor's Version" of 1989. I haven't heard the original, I'd rather just listen to her new version because I get the impression (without doing much research) that she disowned the originals. My thoughts after one active listen each:

Welcome to New York - 8, Very fun song, great opener to set the vibe.
Blank Space - 6, Kinda indifferent to this one, I think it will have to grow on me. I was put off by how overplayed I remembered it being but it's not as bad as I thought.
Style - 7, Not much to say honestly, it was good but not a memorable first listen.
Out of the Woods - 5, I like the melody and the way it rolls but not the repetitiveness of the chorus. Wallpaper music.
All You Had to Do Was Stay - 6, High pitched "stay" wore on me a little and I think it was repeated too much.
Shake It Off - 9, I thought I'd hate this one because I did 9 years ago but I dig it a lot.
I Wish You Would - 7, High energy and I bet it sounds good live, especially the drums which are great and very 80s.
Bad Blood - 7, Anthemic chorus is cool, I like how loud and powerfully she seems to be singing in the prechorus and especially toward the end.
Wildest Dreams - 9, Incredibly pretty song and I like the heavy reverb in the chorus. This may edge out Shake It Off because it stole my attention and choked me up. I didn't expect to give the nod to a ballad but credit where it's due.
How You Get the Girl - 8, Love the drums and lyrics, amazing chorus, fun song. This should've been promoted more, how this was never a single is mind-boggling.
This Love - 6, Pretty bridge and chorus but unremarkable verses. Maybe it'll grow on me.
I Know Places - 7, Odd timing was jarring and immediately noticeable lol not sure how I feel about that, but the chorus is good. I like when she screams "and we run!" before the second chorus (I'm not the only one, it's the most replayed section of the song lol)
Clean - 5, Pretty piano and easy to listen to but nothing special. It sounds very typical "Taylor" I guess. The vocal melody sounds exactly like I'd expect from a TS song, which isn't bad, just an observation.
Wonderland - 6, Not a fan of the "eh, eh, eh" (kinda sounds like an alarm after a while) but it's not bad otherwise. Very uplifting. I like the way she sings certain words lol she does that "awy" sound instead of a hard "i". I hear that a lot from her and it's pretty prominent in this one.
You Are in Love - 7, Super heartwarming, the lyrics stood out a lot to me and I like the fullness of the background music in the chorus. It supports her singing very well.
New Romantics - 7, Bright and energetic, and I see the appeal, but the music in the chorus is a little too much for me I think. Something about it, maybe too much treble.
"Slut!" - 5, Kinda boring, but I appreciate what she's saying.
Say Don't Go - 6, Also bordering on wallpaper music but it's decent. Filler, but not bad. The lyrics are easily relatable as in many of her songs.
Now That We Don't Talk - 8, Short and sweet, listened to this twice actually. I get light disco vibes from this, I'm into it.
Suburban Legends - 7, Flows nicely, clever lyrics. Solid.
Is it Over Now? - 7, Sounds very "grand" and fitting for the end, I almost feel like it's something that would play during closing credits of a movie. I this this would be great to fly to, it's got a soaring vibe to it.

Overall - 6.8
