Getting serious Avril Lavigne - "Girlfriend" vibes from Taylor Swift's new song.

Eh, last album she was still trying it with Country. Very lightly, but it was there. This time she outright abandoned them, and they've already clocked it:
I wonder how much her comment about being "officially pop" is going to bite her in the ass. I do think it might hurt her, even if it's just marginally.
He also wrote pretty much everything for the Backstreet Boys
all i can say is haters want to hate hate hate hate hate and players want to play play play play play. Looking it up, Martin was on We Are Never Ever, 22, and I knew you were trouble. Out of those three, i liked 22 enough but the other two were the least enjoyable on Red for me. Now he's on 7 of the new album including Shake It Off, a song i dislike as much as the those previous ones. Catchy at all costs.

Only if you read into it that way. I was just trying to say she's doing her best impression.

Hang out with Steve.
The song is cute & catchy, fun pop. The video is funny & also very cute. I like it.
That said, I don't see or hear an 80's vibe at all. Seems like a "modern" pop song to me.

The song is a bop, I like it. It's cute, haven't listened to it much yet. Assuming it'll be up on UK iTunes forthwith.
Will edit the OP at some point tomorrow, I think.
Only one self-penned song, mess.
But, IMOGEN HEAP. OMG OMG OMG
Taylor Swift had to co-write this album as she has been single so long she had no boys to hate on.
( I really like the new song)

OP updated.
Deluxe bonus tracks co-writers:
Track 14 (Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback)
Track 15 (Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff)
Track 16 (Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback)
Track 17 (Taylor Swift, Ryan Tedder)
Track 18 (Taylor Swift, Jack Antonoff)
Track 19 (Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback)
The final three are likely demos judging by the description of the physical deluxe (three bonus tracks plus three 'songwriting memos' lol)
Mess if anyone was expecting country. I like how she's being so breezy and upfront about the 'pop' thing.

I'm still absolutely loving this song.
Bless, this interview from the Red era.
That's a dreadful photo, isn't it. But it highlights how they're both incredibly tall women- Tay is 5'10" and Imogen is 6'0". Tall lady bonding sesh.
Queen Immi her benevolence (Imogen Heap also released a new album yesterday, maybe I should make a thread for that too :eyes
I'm definitely looking forward to the Imogen track the most if only because it'll be very different to everything else.

Heard it on the radio just now.
Tired of her blog post-style lyrics.

Damn he looks like a midget here.
Should have been first post.
New song is catchy as all hell but I'm not sure I'm a fan yet.

Yeah, whoever says this has 80's vibe music is dead wrong. And yeah, the song sucks hard and she is just pandering to the shallow pop scene now.
Who cares it's her greatest achievement

The verses are good but the chorus is boring lyrically and sonically.
Hilary Duff came back with a better Taylor Swift song than T Swift did.
She's a 90s baby so it's funny to hear her talk about the impact and spirit of the 80s.

The album is coming out on the 27th, not the 28th.

Really? It says 28th on UK iTunes, how interesting.
It seems to be back-to-front then, normally US gets albums on Tuesday and UK on Monday. Bizarre.

Imogen Heap! Awesome. Wouldn't mind some guest vocals on that one.
Inevitable that this would come up. Lilly Allen had the same criticism (one I sympathize with). The context of the video seems obvious. Showing that she isn't Lady Gaga, or a "twerker" etc. She's herself. The criticism that Earl gave though is valid. There really is no way around it. No one is saying Taylor is one of those scared white girls, but I wouldn't be surprised if this just helps perpetuate a stereotype for the girls that are. Ultimately no one will care though.

Her deluxes are always exclusive to Target in the US. The swiftstakes are for both versions but I assume physical only.
I wish I lived in the US :'(

Physical only, I think. The info is here: http://taylorswift.com/1989swiftstakes
At the bottom it says there is a way to get a code for free, but the link turns up nothing. Hmm.
