Its synth-pop production transformed her sound and image from country-oriented to mainstream pop. The album was a massive commercial success, selling over five million copies in the U.S. within one year, and spawning three <em>Billboard Hot 100<\/em> No. 1 singles. The <em>BBC<\/em> asserted that the success of <em>1989<\/em> solidified Taylor\u2019s status as a global pop star.\n<br><br>\nIn <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/music-hiatus\/\">2016<\/a>, when Taylor was at the peak of overexposure, some of her rivals in the industry (including Scooter Braun, Kanye West and Justin Bieber) succeded in launching a worldwide hate campaign against her. As a result, Taylor disappeared from public view for an entire year and thought about quitting music for good. She became increasingly reticent on social media, having previously maintained an active presence with a large following, and avoided interactions with the press. She conceived her sixth studio album, <em>reputation<\/em>, as an answer to the media commotion surrounding her celebrity.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bc49be elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"9bc49be\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"9146010430\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1ca540 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"f1ca540\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Lyrical Theme<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e56ab06 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e56ab06\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe inspiration for the song\u2019s lyrics came from a New Year\u2019s Eve party at Taylor\u2019s residence in London. Contrasting the prior rest of the album where Taylor takes many shots as various others, she creates a different image here \u2014 thankful for her past and ready to \u2018clean up\u2019 and move on in the future. The song uses a New Year\u2019s party as a metaphor to discuss holding on to people and memories from both good and bad times. Taylor recognizes that when the \u201cparties\u201d in her life are over and the \u201cnew year\u201d begins, such memories are all she will have left to hold on to and learn from:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35941e9 elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"35941e9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u00abTwo New Year\u2019s Eve\u2019s ago, I found myself in the midst of a very incredible 3 a.m. moment where you feel like you\u2019re invincible and you end up like jumping in a pool in the winter.

It came out in that sort of goofy Hollywood version of how music is written, where it comes out of moments of inspiration. Part of the process is you do that [scratch take], and then you do it for real. But we just sat there: That\u2019s the song. You want a song to sound like itself. You don\u2019t want to get the perfect tune. You don\u2019t want to get the absolute perfect vocal take or the perfect panning or compression. You just want it to sound like itself.

Year\u2019s Day Single (US Country Radio) | reputation (2017) \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day\u201d is the album closer on Taylor\u2019s sixth studio album, reputation\u00a0(2017). It explores the flip side of the romanticism of a New Year\u2019s Eve kiss; the one that sticks around the next day is the person that matters most. Table of Contents Background Taylor released her fifth studio album, 1989, in October 2014. Its synth-pop production transformed her sound and image from country-oriented to mainstream pop. The album was a massive commercial success, selling over five million copies in the U.S. within one year, and spawning three Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles. The BBC asserted that the success of 1989 solidified Taylor\u2019s status as a global pop star. In 2016, when Taylor was at the peak of overexposure, some of her rivals in the industry (including Scooter Braun, Kanye West and Justin Bieber) succeded in launching a worldwide hate campaign against her. As a result, Taylor disappeared from public view for an entire year and thought about quitting music for good. She became increasingly reticent on social media, having previously maintained an active presence with a large following, and avoided interactions with the press. She conceived her sixth studio album, reputation, as an answer to the media commotion surrounding her celebrity. Lyrical Theme The inspiration for the song\u2019s lyrics came from a New Year\u2019s Eve party at Taylor\u2019s residence in London. Contrasting the prior rest of the album where Taylor takes many shots as various others, she creates a different image here \u2014 thankful for her past and ready to \u2018clean up\u2019 and move on in the future. The song uses a New Year\u2019s party as a metaphor to discuss holding on to people and memories from both good and bad times. Taylor recognizes that when the \u201cparties\u201d in her life are over and the \u201cnew year\u201d begins, such memories are all she will have left to hold on to and learn from: \u00abTwo New Year\u2019s Eve\u2019s ago, I found myself in the midst of a very incredible 3 a.m. moment where you feel like you\u2019re invincible and you end up like jumping in a pool in the winter. And you feel super untouchable in that moment. And then the next morning you feel very fragile. And you\u2019re like, \u2018This is love! This is what love really is.\u2019 We all wanna find someone to kiss at midnight, that\u2019s cool or whatever, but who\u2019s gonna want to hang out with you the next day when you\u2019re like \u2018ADVIL OR NOTHING.\u2019 So this is a song about real love and finding someone to hang out with on New Year\u2019s Day.\u00bb Taylor Swift According to Taylor, there are two lines in this song that she had been saving for a long time, for the right moment. The first one is, \u201cPlease don\u2019t ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere.\u201d And the other one is, \u201cHold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.\u201d Hits Daily Double wrote that \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day\u201d was originally only going to appear on the deluxe edition of reputation, but after that was scrapped, it was added to the standard edition. Composition Musically, the song is reminiscent of Taylor\u2019s older tracks, with sparse production and simply guitar and piano as backing. Producer Jack Antonoff has said that \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day\u201d was the quicketst song to record on the album \u2014 they only recorded it once. \u00abIt was the quickest [song to record]. If you listen to the piano on that record, you can hear me moving around. You hear things clicking. Those are the \u2018scratch takes\u2019 \u2014 we did that very quickly. It came out in that sort of goofy Hollywood version of how music is written, where it comes out of moments of inspiration. Part of the process is you do that [scratch take], and then you do it for real. But we just sat there: That\u2019s the song. You want a song to sound like itself. You don\u2019t want to get the perfect tune. You don\u2019t want to get the absolute perfect vocal take or the perfect panning or compression. You just want it to sound like itself. You want to feel like you\u2019re home within the song. [\u2026] I don\u2019t know what we would be thinking if we tried to fuck with it. I\u2019m so proud of it because, personally, I think it\u2019s some sort of hint at the future.\u00bb Jack Antonoff Release Big Machine Records promoted \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day\u201d to US country radio on November 15, 2017, as a promotional single. The label then officially released the song to US country radio stations on November 27, 2017, after positive feedback from several country radio stations regarding Taylor\u2019s performance on the \u201cTonight Show.\u201d Reaction to the song\u2019s country airplay was mixed, given Taylor\u2019s announcement that she had abandoned her country roots to embrace mainstream pop in 2014. Radio stations including Chicago\u2019s WUSN and Houston\u2019s KKBQ, who lobbied to get the song played at their station, were receptive of \u201cNew Year\u2019s Day\u201d. Other country stations were more reserved; a representative of Massachusetts\u2019s WBWL commented: \u201cEssentially, I believe that [Swift] has moved on from the country genre\u2026As she has moved on, our core country listeners have moved on from [Swift], so I\u2019ll lay off of it for now\u2026and it\u2019s not fair to add a pop song when great artists are waiting their turn.\u201d Live Performances Prior to the album\u2019s release, Taylor premiered a recorded live performance of the song on the ABC series Scandal, broadcast on November 9, 2017.
