Taylor Swifts highly anticipated album 1989 is at the top of all charts! Not to mention the lead single of the album, the well-known “Shake It Off” is Taylor’s second number one single in the country. Swift comments in her interview with Kiss FM that she was inspired by pop artists from the late 80’s that made “incredible, bold, risky decisions” with their music she was inspired to do the same. Dedicating her album to her birth year, Swift explains “This new album is a rebirth for me. It’s so new, I’ve never really made these kind of changes before.”
