Taylor Swift’s “1989” is back in the news this week, nine years after it earned rave reviews and crushed expected album sales, transforming Swift into a full-blown pop star.
“1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is already on track to eclipse the original’s success, according to Billboard. The rerecorded and extended tracklist has already broken the record for the most-streamed album in a single day on Spotify (a record that was previously set by Swift’s own “Midnights”).
Initially released as Swift’s fifth studio album, “1989” is a cherished and widely admired chapter in Swift’s career. Going against her label’s demands for more country music, Swift was determined to fully embrace the pop sounds she’d been toying with.
“Every single element of this album has been called into question, and I’ve had to say ‘No, this is how we’re doing it,’” she told Time in 2014. “It was all on me if this didn’t work.”
Luckily, it worked. “1989” moved 1.287 million copies in its first week and became Swift’s best-selling album to date. It eventually spawned three No. 1 singles and won album of the year at the 2016 Grammy Awards.
Due to its success, the album has been discussed and mythologized at length. Most people know that “Blank Space” is satire, for example, and “Bad Blood” was inspired by Swift’s since-buried feud with Katy Perry. But what of the less-publicized details and quirks from the creative process?
