1989 is the true definition of a cultural reset. I mean, Taylor was really everywhere with this one. None of the tracks felt like cheap pop, and the MUSIC VIDEOS. Lord, her team said fuck a budget. As for Reputation i still think people took it the wrong way. It was meant to be satirical and show Taylor embracing the medias criticism and what they viewed her as.

i love 1989 - the aesthetic, the fashion, the tour, the music - but after watching miss americana where taylor said that she was just not in the best place with that much media attention and superstardom, the era will always have this bittersweet undertone to it for me

[@jonemarxtian]

1989 was a monster hit after hit! You can’t escape from her songs because she’s everywhere! It was the best era of Taylor’s Career 🤩

[@muhaiminzulkarnain5628]

1989 was iconic! I was in college when the album was released. Everyone was talking about it, her music was on repeat everwhere, and everyone was quoting her in their Instagram posts. It was nuts! But I love it!

Same thing happened to me. I mean, I was always listened to her singles but I decided to listen to 1989 for some reason and I really liked it. Then I gave Red a try and I love Red just as much. Holy Ground is criminally underrated

1989 elevated Taylor from a teen singer to a bonifide icon. I still remember every song she put out before the album came out was such a change in her production and change in pace.

taylor swift. she never misses. she's a rare one. her discography and career is fascinating. she's so intelligent, genuine and skilled. she deserves her fame and success. her impact can't be denied. she will be celebrated for many years to come. she's done everything right. 1989 may not be her best album. but it is her best era and the most successful of the 2010s. no one, no one could've done what she did. she was everywhere for a reason. and while she'll continue to find new and more success, that era will always stand out. i do believe that she gets better with each release. folklore has to be her best album to date. but all of her albums are so her, they all hold so much meaning and importance. what a woman. she makes me proud.

[@hsvcommodore4111]

I‘m not a Taylor Swift fan, but what bothers me is that some people (like taylor, or nicki) get hated for every little thing until it becomes ,,cool“ to hate them, while others, like Chris Brown for examble who have done horrible things in the past don‘t really get hated much at all

[@victoriab637]

I used to be a huge fan of Taylor, I listened to 1989 practically every single day. Her newer music seems to cater to her fanbase rather than general public appeal. Which can explain why it seems that her popularity has taken a dip, but I can't deny that she is still very popular.

[@phillinsogood]

I also feel like Taylor released this album at the right window. By late 2014 through early 2015 there weren’t many major pop acts releasing music. Katy Perry was wrapping up the prism era, Miley was wrapping up the Bangerz era, Rihanna was on hiatus, 1Direction hype was dying etc. Ariana & Meghan Trainor we’re still fairly new. And then by the end of 2015 was when Adele dropped her 25 album so Taylor definitely filled the mid 2010’s gap in popular music

@mirror ball Taylor has had several peaks. This idea that stars are only allowed to have "a peak" is ridiculous. Taylor peaked with Fearless, had a resurgence with Red, peak with 1989 and started ascending back with reputation and Folklore. Ariana recently started becoming a main popstar so she definitely has a lot of years of success before the GP throws her to the elephant graveyard with other female celebs they grow tired of. It's sad but true

[@AlejandroMartinez-wq1cc]

I will be eternally grateful to 1989, as it was thanks to him that I discovered Taylor Swift and became a fan of her, I swear during the time I spend the album cycle I remember that the videos of the songs WERE THE MOST PLAYABLE on the channel where I was listening to music and literally once I heard and saw Taylor she won my heart.☺

[@justinerenz7559]

I don't think people can realize how successful 1989 was!

[@Iavenderh4ze]

Oh the 1989 era, a once in a lifetime era. The last good AND massive pop era we witnessed. But it was not only successful, but also the album tracks were quality songs and the album was overall acclaimed. I have SO many good memories from the time 1989 was murdering every single chart and radios all around the world were blasting Shake If Off, Blank Space (my fav 1989 single), Style, etc. This era is the definition of a cultural reset (a real one, not those basic pop eras that only make noise in stan twitter) in the modern days along with Lemonade and maybe 25. In fact, it's still charting in the BB 200 with over +300 weeks on the chart. Insane. The hate Taylor got after it was so unnecessary, but I guess people were tired of seeing Taylor constantly winning so they hated her for the dumbest reasons. Btw, Blank Space is one of the BEST and BIGGEST pop classics from the last decade. That song is just flawless.

[@dianamocha]

I feel the exact same way! Except for me, I was a junior in high school and preparing for college. 1989 was the soundtrack to everything new, fun, and exciting. When I listen to that album now, it takes me back to that time in my life, and always makes me smile.

[@aaliyahfoster2705]

I feel like Ariana Grande's lowercase era (Sweetener/thank u, next) has become the last massive pop era though. Literally, all of her singles were inescapable. No Tears Left To Cry, God Is A Woman, Breathin, TUN, 7 rings, and Break Up With Your Girlfriend I'm Bored. You couldn't go a day without hearing one of them in public. She also has a massive fanbase.
