1989 by Taylor Swift // 10 Year Anniversary Album Review

-

1989 is the album that truly changed everything. Not only is it pure pop perfection, but it also served as a reintroduction of Taylor Swift that fully solidified her as the superstar we all know her as today. At the time she was making this album, she was 24 years old, cut off her hair and moved to  New York City  in search of a new look, a new life, a new soundtrack, and a new beat that she (and it turns out the rest of us) would be dancing to forevermore.  Anyone that knows me knows how much I adore  1989 , it has always been one of the most important albums for me, made up of sixteen songs that I have listened to probably more times than any other in my life. I could go on and on (and I will) about how much I love every single song from  1989 . I have found endless inspiration in it at every stage of my life throughout the past nine years, whether it is through the lyrics, visual aesthetics or the messages of this music. I was fifteen when it was first released and now that I'

New Jersey's finest New Yorker recently performed an electrifying show at the iconic Madison Square Garden ! Bleachers is one of my favorite bands ever and seeing them perform live is always the most amazing experience. This marked the band's biggest show they have ever done, which was so incredibly special to witness. I have seen Bleachers now four times, first on the rooftop of Electric Lady Studios with Jack Antonoff performing acoustically in summer 2021, then front row at Radio City Music Hall in 2022, and again just a couple of months ago at Jack's hometown festival Shadow of the City in Asbury Park, NJ. Now they've made it out of the shadow and right into the city at the world's most famous arena! There is truly nothing like the magic of a Bleachers concert and they are always my favorite band to see live.  Madison Square Garden is my favorite concert venue and I have been lucky enough to see so many incredible artists there over the years! The energy is
