In her mid-20s, she was world-famous, immensely wealthy, critically acclaimed, a fashion influence, and a full-blown cultural force\u2014instantly recognizable wherever she went. She also had two iconic <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/cats\/\">cats<\/a>. But since <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/album-eras\/red-era\/\">2012<\/a>, her public image had increasingly blurred with her private life, and not always in ways she felt comfortable with. Something needed to change. So in early 2014, Taylor cut her hair, made new friends, and moved from Nashville, where she had lived and worked since her high school years, to New York City.\n<br><br>\nHer music changed with her. When <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/1989-album\/\"><em>1989<\/em><\/a> was released, it quickly became clear just how massive the moment was. The album didn\u2019t just cement Taylor as one of the most successful artists of all time, it positioned her as a rare kind of power player, someone who could navigate a chaotic media landscape and challenge the music industry\u2019s biggest players on her own terms.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-d71269f elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no elementor-invisible\" data-id=\"d71269f\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;gradient&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-fbb2734\" data-id=\"fbb2734\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-39d0022 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no\" data-id=\"39d0022\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-custom\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-afb5aed\" data-id=\"afb5aed\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bbb0185 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"bbb0185\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/1989-album\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-1024x1024.png\" class=\"elementor-animation-float attachment-large size-large wp-image-18\" alt=\"1989 Album Cover by Taylor Swift (Big Machine, 2014)\" srcset=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-900x900.png 900w, https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover-400x400.png 400w, https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/1989-cover.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\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-d980559 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d980559\" 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\">1989<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d1559b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d1559b6\" 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\t<em>1989 <\/em>is the most awarded pop album in history.

Soon after, she became a fixture on the city\u2019s sidewalks, officially a New Yorker. And she had never felt more free. \u201cIt\u2019s so refreshing to see people move on from the idea that all I do is sit in my lair and write songs about boys for revenge,\u201d she told <em>Time <\/em>in November. She much preferred walking down the street to grab dinner or furniture shopping with friends in Brooklyn.\n<br><br>\nEven the paparazzi were better, she remarked in an interview with <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>. \u201cThey don\u2019t provoke me, or ask weird questions. And a lot of them are long-lensing it\u2014which, if you have to have paparazzi in your life, is such a better way.\u201d The arrangement worked like a dream. She got photographed daily, sometimes multiple times and in different outfits, leaving her apartment, the gym, or restaurants. Always in high heels, perfect hair and makeup, and come summer, matching co-ord sets. When asked by <em>Time <\/em>about turning the streets of New York into her personal runway, Taylor simply said:\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-e92a38f elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"e92a38f\" 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\u00abIf I\u2019m in the mood to be held accountable for every single article of clothing on my body, whether it matches, if it clashes, if it\u2019s on trend, then I go out.

The stage was set.\n<br><br>\nSo when Taylor started dropping hints that <em>something<\/em> was coming in early August 2014, the internet erupted. At first, she shared cryptic videos and images on her Instagram account. But a few days later, she went full-on spectacle, hiring skywriting planes to spell out \u201cTaylor Swift 18 5 p.m. Yahoo\u201d over Central Park. Yes, really. All of this led up to a massive, globally streamed event atop the Empire State Building.

Her sensitivity to media scrutiny and public judgment had undoubtedly cost her many ordinary rites of passage. And while fear had fueled a phenomenally successful career, it hadn\u2019t always led to the happiest outlook. As she once reflected: \u201cMy greatest achievements have come hand in hand with my greatest moments of criticism or heartbreak. I\u2019ve never had a huge achievement without having the rug pulled out from under me in some way the next day. I think that\u2019s just life, but it\u2019s the one thing I\u2019m still working on.\u201d\n<br><br>\nOne of those pitfalls was the relentless media fixation on her love life. By this point, Taylor was understandably jaded. \u201cIt\u2019s not like I\u2019ve sworn off love,\u201d she said. \u201cMy life is just not conducive to bringing other people into it right now. I\u2019m very childlike and romantic about lots of things, but I\u2019m realistic about this.\u201d In a September 2014 interview with <em>Rolling Stone<\/em>, she admitted that dating was simply hard. For one thing, there were the logistics. \u201cSeventy percent of the time, when a guy asks me out, it\u2019ll just be a random email.\u201d Sometimes a movie star would get her address through a publicist and reach out cold. Usually, she politely declined. But even when someone made it past that first barrier, building a real relationship was another challenge entirely:\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-00c82c3 elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"00c82c3\" 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\u00abI feel like watching my dating life has become a bit of a national pastime. And I\u2019m just not comfortable providing that kind of entertainment anymore. I don\u2019t like seeing slide shows of guys I\u2019ve apparently dated. I don\u2019t like giving comedians the opportunity to make jokes about me at awards shows. I don\u2019t like it when headlines read \u2018Careful, Bro, She\u2019ll Write a Song About You,\u2019 because it trivializes my work. And most of all, I don\u2019t like how all these factors add up to build the pressure so high in a new relationship that it gets snuffed out before it even has a chance to start.

built a close circle of high-profile female friends, many of whom appeared in her videos and joined her onstage as surprise guests. She insisted it was simply a byproduct of focusing on herself. \u201cWhen your number-one priority is getting a boyfriend, you\u2019re more inclined to see a beautiful girl and think, \u2018Oh, she\u2019s going to get that hot guy I wish I was dating,\u2019\u201d she explained. \u201cBut when you\u2019re not boyfriend-shopping, you can step back and see other girls who are killing it and think, \u2018God, I want to be around her.\u2019\u201d Growing up, Taylor had been the unpopular kid in middle school, eating lunch alone. That\u2019s what made it especially heartwarming to see her build a large, trusted group of friends.

Yet because her career was so carefully orchestrated, many assumed her social life was equally strategized. The internet labeled her \u201ccalculating,\u201d a word she despises. Her famous friends were often reduced to roles\u2014\u201cthe supermodel,\u201d \u201cthe indie artist,\u201d \u201cthe informed third-wave feminist\u201d\u2014which baffled Taylor, who was genuinely passionate about her friendships. Part of the disconnect came from her presenting herself as relatable to fans, while her real-life social circle set standards few could reach: almost all of her closest friends were famous and stunning models. By 2019, she admitted she had some regrets about showcasing the group so publicly.

Even as an adult, I still have recurring flashbacks sitting at lunch tables alone, or hiding in a bathroom stall or trying to make a new friend and being laughed at. In my 20s, I found myself surrounded by girls who wanted to be my friend. So I shouted it from the rooftops, posted pictures and celebrated my new found acceptance into a sisterhood without realizing that other peole might still feel the way I did when I felt so alone.

While she had long maintained a \u201cnever have, never will\u201d policy on discussing her dating life, this time she seemed willing to take a different approach. By summer, Taylor and Calvin were appearing in each other\u2019s Instagram feeds\u2014a 2010s signal that things were getting serious.\n<br><br>\nWhen asked by <em>Vanity Fair<\/em> in August 2015 how she balanced dating with her commitment to her sisterhood, Taylor explained that she would only pursue someone who respected the life she had built for herself. \u201cI decided if [the media] was going to say that I was boy-crazy and so dependent on men and all that, I wasn\u2019t going to give them a reason to say that anymore, and I wasn\u2019t going to be seen around any men for years\u2014so that\u2019s what I did.

But the show didn\u2019t come together overnight: it took seven months of planning, followed by three months of music rehearsals, four weeks of stage rehearsals, and ten days of grueling two-a-day dress rehearsals.

[...] And so that was the biggest thing for me when I was conceptualizing the aesthetics of the album, and the visuals, and what it represented. I like to picture the albums as each of them having a location, an emotional identity, and a sonic quality that threads it all together. That\u2019s what I was focused on.

The release of <em>1989 <\/em> further propelled her into a position of unprecedented leverage. In November that year, the day after the album debuted at No. 1 on the <em>Billboard 200<\/em>, she pulled her entire catalog from <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/spotify\/\">Spotify<\/a>, arguing that the streaming service\u2019s ad-supported free tier undermined the premium platform, which provides higher royalties for songwriters.

on the home front: the fight to release the music she truly wanted. In interviews, she repeatedly expressed frustration with her (now former) label, <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/big-machine-records\/\">Big Machine Records<\/a>. They doubted her ability to fully cross over into pop and wanted to keep her, at least in part, in country music, where she had been the undisputed leading female artist for most of the previous decade. Asked about the biggest challenge in creating <em>1989<\/em>, Taylor recalled the \u201csit-downs\u201d with her team in a December 2014 interview with <em>Billboard<\/em>:\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-433802c elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"433802c\" 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\u00abConvincing members of my team that [the pop move] was a good call. People seem to love the album, and we\u2019re all high-fiving each other, but I remember all the sit-downs in the conference rooms, where I would get kind of called in front of a group of people who have worked with me for years. They said, 'Are you really sure you want to do this? Are you sure you want to call the album <i>1989<\/i>? We think it\u2019s a weird title. Are you sure you want to put an album cover out that has less than half of your face on it? Are you positive that you want to take a genre that you cemented yourself in, and switch to one that you are a newcomer to?' And answering all of those questions with 'Yes, I\u2019m sure' really frustrated me at the time\u2014like, 'Guys, don\u2019t you understand, this is what I\u2019m dying to do?' The biggest struggle turned into the biggest triumph when it worked out.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Taylor Swift<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-94504b8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"94504b8\" 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\tAt the same time, an investment banking booklet shopping Big Machine (including the rights to Taylor\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/master-recordings\/\">masters<\/a>) was circulating, attracting attention from Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and others. It was a clear signal to the business world that something was off. Music insiders knew Taylor had one album left on her contract and hadn\u2019t re-signed. A major red flag. From her pre-album comments to the label\u2019s handling under Scott Borchetta, the rift was visible: she was moving away from the music her label knew best.

I\u2019m always going to be writing songs. The thing is, with me, I could very well come up with three things in the next two weeks and then jump back into the studio, and all of a sudden the next record is started. That\u2019s an option, too. But probably not for the moment. I would really like to take a little time to learn things.

All Eras The 1989 Era 2014 \u2013 2016 In March 2014, Taylor relocated to New York City. The move marked the beginning of the 1989 era which was, simply put, her world domination phase. Confident the album would be monumental, she made sure that it would succeed in ways that no other work of hers had before. Within the span of months, she became a constant presence in pop culture: chatting with fans on Tumblr, being photographed around the city daily, gracing magazine covers, and performing at award shows. In hindsight she was overexposed, but it worked. Taylor became the biggest star on the planet, and 1989 went on to become the most awarded pop album of all time. Beginning of Era After moving into her Tribeca apartment in March 2014, Taylor officially kicked off the 1989 era in August of that year. End of Era At the end of the 1989 era, Taylor said in multiple interviews that she wanted to step back from the spotlight for a while. After winning \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d at the Grammys in February 2016, she officially began her hiatus two months later, in April. Associated Album 1989 (2014) Tour \u201cThe 1989 World Tour\u201d was a glittering, stadium\u2011sized spectacle that brought Taylor\u2019s pop vision to life across 2015. Aesthetic The 1989 era was all New York City rooftops under neon lights, instant\u2011film Polaroids stuffed in pockets, seagulls echoing by the water, and that carefree rush of living like every night was a movie. Style The 1989 era fashion was pure city chic: crop tops paired with skater skirts, high heels clicking down New York streets, a sleek bob haircut framing Taylor\u2019s face, and her signature red lipstick as the ultimate finishing touch.

In her mid-20s, she was world-famous, immensely wealthy, critically acclaimed, a fashion influence, and a full-blown cultural force\u2014instantly recognizable wherever she went. She also had two iconic cats. But since 2012, her public image had increasingly blurred with her private life, and not always in ways she felt comfortable with. Something needed to change. So in early 2014, Taylor cut her hair, made new friends, and moved from Nashville, where she had lived and worked since her high school years, to New York City. Her music changed with her. When 1989 was released, it quickly became clear just how massive the moment was. The album didn\u2019t just cement Taylor as one of the most successful artists of all time, it positioned her as a rare kind of power player, someone who could navigate a chaotic media landscape and challenge the music industry\u2019s biggest players on her own terms. 1989 1989 is the most awarded pop album in history. Taylor named it after her birth year as a symbolic rebirth of her artistry.

Read More 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version) 1989 (Taylor\u2019s Version) is Taylor\u2019s favorite re-record. The original album changed her life in countless ways. Read More Deciding to Become A True Pop Star On January 25, 2014, Taylor\u2019s genre-spanning fourth studio album, RED (2012), was nominated for the coveted \u201cAlbum of the Year\u201d award at the Grammys. The night before the ceremony, she wrote in her diary: \u201cNever have I felt so good about our chances. Never have I wanted something as badly as I want to hear them say RED is the \u2018Album of the Year.\u2019\u201d But it wasn\u2019t meant to be. When the album didn\u2019t win, Taylor returned home heartbroken, ate burgers and fries with her friends, cried, and eventually went to bed. That night, she made one of the most important decisions of her career: \u00abI woke up at four in the morning and I was like, \u2018It\u2019s called 1989. I\u2019ve been making \u201980s synth pop, I\u2019m just gonna do that. I\u2019m calling it a pop record. I\u2019m not listening to anyone at my label. I\u2019m starting tomorrow.\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift 1989 is Taylor\u2019s birth year, and in the interviews leading up to the album\u2019s release, she often spoke about the idea of rebirth. Even without the pivotal night at the Grammys, she had already been planning a major change in her life. On January 6, 2014, she captured that moment of transition in her journal, writing: \u201cSo I\u2019ve decided I want to look at places in New York. I know I went through this phase months ago, but it has to mean something that I\u2019ve circled back to it, right? You know what they say, if you love something let it go and if it comes back\u2026blah blah blah. So I\u2019m leaving the day after tomorrow. Dating is awful. Love is fiction\/a myth. I\u2019m over it all.\u201d Taylor Swift for 1989 (Sarah Barlow &#038; Stephen Schofield, 2014) Timeline of the 1989 Era Explore some of the defining moments of the 1989 era and dive into the stories behind them in more detail below.
