Music review: Taylor Swift 无毛视频� 无毛视频楻eputation无毛视频�
Let无毛视频檚 face it, our little girl is growing up so fast. Taylor Swift has come a long way from her days as a country sweetheart on her self-titled debut. At the time, Swift was a 16-year-old singer-songwriter embracing her Nashville surroundings.
The Pennsylvania native continued her country leanings with 2008无毛视频檚 无毛视频淔earless.无毛视频� A year later, Swift was rudely pushed into music history when Kanye West hijacked her acceptance speech for 无毛视频淵ou Belong to Me无毛视频� at the MTV Video Music Awards. That incident seemed to be a defining moment for Swift无毛视频檚 blossoming career.
With the release of 2012无毛视频檚 无毛视频淩ed,无毛视频� Swift began her transformation from country superstar to pop sensation. Her next effort, 无毛视频�1989,无毛视频� shook off Swift无毛视频檚 country roots with slick and infectious tracks like 无毛视频淲elcome to New York,无毛视频� 无毛视频淏lank Space,无毛视频� and of course, 无毛视频淪hake It Off.无毛视频�
With 无毛视频淩eputation,无毛视频� Swift无毛视频檚 sixth studio release is one fearless statement about confidently embracing the trappings of success both professionally and personally.
无毛视频溛廾悠郸Ready for It?无毛视频� kicks off the 15-track set with an ominous bass groove mixed with a pulsating electronic beat that reveals Swift无毛视频檚 urge to go after what she wants without regret. I must confess, Swift sounds an awful lot like a boisterous Avril Lavigne (not a bad thing) as Swift announces, 无毛视频淏aby, let the games begin.无毛视频�
无毛视频淓nd Game无毛视频� finds Swift getting attention from Future and Ed Sheeran as Future sings, 无毛视频淵ou so dope无毛视频� and Swift adding, 无毛视频淚 wanna be your A-Team.无毛视频� I certainly pity the fool that dares to mess with Swift.
On 无毛视频淚 Did Something Bad,无毛视频� Swift does something bad by dropping her first swear word as she demonstrates that she can handle her own battles all by herself. Yes, she may have done something bad, but why does it feel so good?
The innocent country girl from earlier albums makes a brief appearance on the album无毛视频檚 final cut. 无毛视频淣ew Year无毛视频檚 Day无毛视频� is a stripped-down track featuring Swift reminiscing about holding on closely to the memories we make.
Great memories will certainly be made when Swift arrives in Pittsburgh at Heinz Field on Aug. 7 for a performance that is sure to reinforce her reputation as one of the biggest stars in music today.
