“Shake
It Off,” First Single and Video From 1989 Premiered Exclusively
on Yahoo Live Stream and Available as a Single at iTunes Now
Announced 1989 Swiftstakes™*
Offering Fans Tickets and Meet & Greets With Taylor
Global superstar and
seven-time GRAMMY® winner, Taylor Swift, announced her new album 1989 (Big
Machine Records) which is now available for pre-buy on TaylorSwift.com, iTunes and Target. In addition, Taylor released “Shake It Off,” the first single and
video from her fifth studio album.
1989 is a touchstone;
Taylor's songwriting and sonic evolution surprises us more than ever before.
Heavily keyboard and beat driven, the pop sensibilities that have always been
the hallmark of Taylor’s music now move front and center on 1989.
"I spent two
years making 1989. Two years gives you enough time to grow and change and let things
inspire you. I was listening to a lot of late 80's pop music and how bold those
songs were and how that time period was a time of limitless possibilities. In
thinking about that, this album is a rebirth for me. This is my very first
documented, official pop album. 1989 is the most sonically cohesive album I
have ever made and my favourite album I have ever made," said Taylor.
Taylor debuted “Shake It Off,” the first single, available
at iTunes now, and video
(which can be viewed at TaylorSwift.com) from 1989 in a worldwide Live Stream on
Yahoo, where she told fans, “Over the last few years I've learned a very
important lesson. We cannot control what people say about us but we can control
how we react to it. We can let it get to us, make us bitter, even drive us
insane or we can shake it off.”
Taylor surprised fans by revealing the 1989 Swiftstakes™ that
give fans an opportunity to win prizes that include 1,000 tickets
and 500 meet and greets.
The songstress also explained that a Deluxe version of the album
will include three additional songs and three songwriting voice memos. These
memos are personal audio recordings that offer a unique insight into
Taylor's songwriting process and document the early creation of three songs
on 1989.

radio charts around the globe. Taylor's album RED, released almost two years
ago on Big Machine Records, has sold more than 6 million copies worldwide to
date, including more than 1.2 million copies in the U.S. in its first week,
scoring the highest first-week sales debut of any album in over a decade.
Taylor is the only female artist in music history (and just the fourth artist
ever) to twice have an album (2010's Speak Now and 2012's RED) hit the 1
million plus first-week sales figure.
”Shake It Off” is the first single off her fifth studio
album 1989.
