I know some of you are gonna think to yourself, “Oh no, Taylor Swift has gone pop!”. Sorry to say, y’all but Taylor Swift has always been a pop artist. She’s just taking things to different directions this time and going old-school with her music. Her next album is titled, “1989” and it’s going to have pop songs with an 80’s style. Old school pop music. I can see where she’s going with her new batch of songs.

Her new song, “Shake It Off” reminds me very much like Toni Basil’s “Mickey”.

Which is funny, ya know… I was just starting to dislike Taylor Swift. I used to be a fan and had a few of her earlier albums but I stopped supporting her and stopped buying her music again. The last couple of albums she’s been releasing lately hasn’t been my cup of tea.

I think she just won my respect again with her new song, “Shake It Off”. I listened to the song like 3 or 4 times straight. I think the song is surprisingly good. It’s fun and catchy to listen to. Reminds me of the old days of 80’s pop music. You don’t hear pop music like this anymore. This is the kind of stuff that you’ll probably hear at a high school dance party.

I really dig the song. Will I get the new album? Not sure yet. I’ll wait to hear more songs off of it and then I’ll think about it.
