1989 is out! I'm sure if you have been following my blog for any length of time you know I'm a major Taylor Swift fan (no shame). I've been waiting for this album for two years now and I was shocked by the new direction sonically. As an avid country music listener I was skeptical, and although this usually isn't the type of music I listen to I've embraced this album and all of the fun that comes with it. Her incredible story telling lyrics are still in there, and the fashion for this new era is ON POINT (So classic and chic). I've been so inspired by her matchy-outfits and crop tops lately.
Here are my top 8 favorite songs (with my favorite lyrics) from the album right now.
8. Out of the Woods
Looking at it now, it all seems so simple. We were lying on your couch, I remember, you took a polaroid of us. Then discovered the rest of the world was in black and white but we were in screaming color. And I remember thinking, are we out of the woods yet? Looking at it now, last December we were meant to fall apart, then fall back together. Your necklace hanging from my neck. That night we couldn't quite forget, we decided to move the furniture so we could dance. Baby, like we stood a chance. Two paper airplanes, flying.
7. Wildest Dreams
Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress, staring at the sunset. Red lips and rosy cheeks. Say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams. I said no one has to know what we do. His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room and his voice is a familiar sound but nothing lasts forever.
6. Clean
You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore. Hung my head, as I lost the war and the sky turned black like a perfect storm. Rain came pouring down when I was drowning. That's when I could finally breathe. And by morning, gone was any trace of you, I think am finally clean.
5. I Know Places
Let them say what they want, we won't hear it. Loose lips sink ships all the damn time, not this time. Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it, my love. They are the hunters, we are the foxes and we run.
4. Blank Space
Find out what you want and I'll be that girl for a month. Wait the worst is yet to come, oh no. Screaming, crying, perfect storm. I can make all the tables turn. Rose gardens filled with thorns.//Boys only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't say I didn't warn ya.
3. You Are In Love
Morning, his place, burnt toast, Sunday. You keep his shirt, he keeps his word. For once, you let go of your fears and your ghosts.
2. Style
You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye and I got that red lip classic thing that you like. And when we go crashing down, we come back every time cause we never go out of style. You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt and I got that good girl faith and tight little skirt.
1. This Love
Tossing, turning, struggle through the night with someone new. And I could go on and on. Lantern, burning, flickered in my mind only for you. But you're still gone, gone, gone. Been losing grip, oh, sinking ships. You showed up just in time.
