So, today's post will be about my favorite singer, EVER! MS. TAYLOR SWIFT! XD You must have known her, right? Or at least, heard her name and known some of her songs. If not, are u kidding me? Unless you live at a rural villages or secluded island or a city/country far-far away from civilization or no internet connection? Or maybe those oldies generation who do not know anything about music trends?? Or... okay just... never mind my ranting then!
(If you really, really? haven`t known her, at all. Well, since you can find my blog here, it means at least you have internet connection then do yourself a favor to type on google "Taylor Swift") XD
If not, since i`m so kind, you can just click here : TAYLOR SWIFT
Now, now, i wanna post over how Taylor's been changing her styles from hair, clothing, and songs over the years and i also wanna review about Taylor Swift's FIFTH, FRESHEST and NEWEST album, "1989", which was titled by the year she was born, that was just launched by late 2014. :D

THIS IS THE ALBUM COVER! Have you bought it? I have and it`s so coool! XD *promotion. U should go to the nearest CD stores around your city before it runs out LOL |
GLIMPSE OF 1989
This album, 1989, is her first pop album ever documented! (As she is always known by her specialization in country music before). When Taylor first released this album, there was a lot of speculation from public that she was wrong for releasing this kind of album by following the trends for pop music. People always relates her to country and thus, seeing her singing different style of music just seems... weird, like it was a bad idea. And that the idea of letting her image all this time from that sweet, country girl in her guitar starting to change into a crop-topped, queen of pop, rebel Tay? XD now, was all WRONG, which induced a lot of pro and contra in public's eye toward the success of her new album. These also led many of her so-called-fans, and even the music industry's expert into predicting that 1989 wouldn`t sell much, at least compared to her predecessors. So will her drastic changes in her taste of clothing and her new breakthrough songs in 1989 really be influencing her career and decreasing her number of fans that bad? Hopefully it`s not. :(

1. FEARLESS ERA
from late 2008 - 2010
from late 2008 - 2010
 |
These pics are from her "FEARLESS" TOUR, from her second album STYLE : CURLY-CURLY hair/ During this era, her outfits were practically between flowery / plain sparkly dresses, boots! and guitar! With a '13' tattoo over her hand which resembled her birth date and a heart mark after finishing a song :D How cute! MOVE MOVE .... 2. SPEAK NOW ERA from late 2010 - early 2012  |
 |
  STYLE : NOT-SO-CURLY hair anymore :P, she still wore dresses! but, without so-much-boots now. still, not forgetting the guitar :D Still, with a '13' tattoo over her hand. Still, with that heart mark. On speak now, i think her outfit were kinda more girly and lady-like? here and had more different sets rather than just plain, sparkly dresses before. but her style hasn`t changed real much, tho OK, NOW LET'S MOVE ON TO..... 
JRENG JRENG~
 IT'S ALREADY THE BEGINNING OF : 3. RED ERA !!! haha! from late 2012 - 2014! |
FLAT-BANGS - ALL RED RED RED
Well, obviously since the title of the album itself is RED XD
 |
Powerful and more sexy Tay COZ I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLEEEEE~ |
 |
Sporty Style while dueting with ED SHEERAN.. Pony tail! and flat bangs |
 |
Then again, the flat bangs didn`t last long, tho XD She cut long hair short and having side bangs again haha  RED shoes and guitars 
Doing this flipping hair technique instead of making a heart mark here
Oh, and red microphone as well :D
|
Trying something different there by playing piano while flipping hair XD
Closing-outfit WE ARE NEVER EVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER XD
These are from her "RED" TOUR, from her fourth album
STYLE : Straight, long hair with front bangs until she cut her hair short with side bangs
Outfit : Her outfit weren`t all those cute, girly dresses anymore. It seemed like as she grew up, she wanted some changes here. Mostly she would wear a combination of shirt with skirt or short or pant. And dominated with RED, from her guitar, shoes, microphone, lipstick, and clothes.
Specialty : FLIPPING HAIR XD
oh, and she did not use the '13' tattoo nor did she use the heart mark anymore~
In this era, we already saw a pretty big transformation of Taylor from her hair and clothing style... I guess she became more mature here since she was leaving her teenage years and began starting her 20's.
That explained why RED is often said as the transition era in which we start seeing a touch of pop music while we still be able to hear her specialty in country music too! What a combination of both! And so did her appearance then.
OK THEN NOW LET US ALL SEE PRESENT'S TAYLOR!!!!!! XD
4. 1989 ERA!!
FROM late 2014 until NOW
 |
TA RAAAA NEW TAYLOR IN CROP TOP AND HIGH-WAISTED SHORT/SKIRT! |
.jpg)
STYLE : Alread-short-hair. As per now, Taylor is often seen wearing crop topped shirt with high waisted pants/skirts or mini dresses.
p.s : There are no pics from 1989's Tour yet because the tour hasn`t even started as per now. These pics were Taylor's recent performances while she was promoting her new singles : SHAKE IT OFF!!~ or while she was going to the awarding events or shows.
*I`m really looking forward to the tour. Tay's well-known for her great act performances.
Hopefully Tay would come to my country again for the tour so i will get the chance to see Tay again 0:)
SO DIFFERENT THAN BEFORE, RIGHT?
Btw, those drastic changes in her clothing style from then till now did not only happen on the stages for the album's tour or when she attended the awarding events or shows, but it were also applied on her street style as well~
MORE PICS OF TAYLOR'S STREET STYLES!!
Ok.. Starting out with teenage-Tay here. Boots!
Still with that curly-curly hair XD
Reminds me of college student's style when they are going to Campus.
And... This is just cute!
Taylor just loved floral pattern very much, didn`t she?
btw, pic 1 (on the left) and 3 (on the right) seemed similar but it`s not!
These were prob from Fearless-Speak Now era (from the curly hair)
More patternized dresses
More floral pattern! But with different image than before
Pastel, sweet colour suits Tay well.
Btw, we're already moving to late 2014 - 2015's Tay
Trademark : Crop top.
Flaunting her elongated legs like......
(She could really be a model if she wasn`t a singer)....
Fresh, mature and elegant image :)
Fun, playful style
She wears more black now. Suits her well, too
I guess everything suit her..... *envy
There, there.. Your sweet, lil Taylor had already transformed into Sexy Taylor XD
See the difference?
I think it`s normal for Tay and also for everyone else to change as we grew up. I mean, people change. Realize it or not, everyone would change in some way, and it`s natural to find ourselves more as we grew. Other than that, Tay's already 25, right? And we can`t still expect her to dress up as 18 or something. It`s perfectly fine for her to dress up that way, it's still her and she's still a good role model. (IMO)
But you know what? Even with Taylor's transformation from her genre of songs till her outfit that many people argue to, this album STILL COULD OUTSOLD her other albums !
Here is the sales recap of all Tay's album from album 1 - 5 (till now) :
(I got this from one of Tay's fanbase on instagram)
Fascinated by these numbers?? But keep your fascination for later. Cause these numbers are just the total sales of her albums by the FIRST WEEK after its first released to public to be avalaible for sell. As you can see, it is always INCREASING. And for 1989, her newest album, she could get over 1.000.000 sales in just a week in spite of many prior bad speculations about how Tay's transformed all this time. But you nail it, TAY! No matter as a country or pop, you will still inspire others. And well, the number itself is such a record compared to other artists. WOW. TAYLOR. JUST WOW!
Despite of this solid proof, still, many Tay's haters still reasoned that the only reason why Tay's album is able to sold this much is because of this bonus polaroid set inside :
Picture courtesy from google.
Yep. If you buy one 1989's album you will also get 13 out of 65 set of polaroid photos of Taylor with exclusive pictures and handwritten lyrics from the album itself. If I`m not mistaken, the asian edition has random set while the US edition has consecutive order e.g : pict no 1-13, and so on. So, if you want to get the complete original set, you would want to buy 5 albums at the very least. Hardcore fans might do this. (I am not FYI. 1 album is enough la XD)
This is where those haters argue that Tay's just want to make more and more money, that Tay's just a money grabber or that Tay used this strategy as a precaution as she's afraid herself of her changes of music and worried this album won`t sell well. Well, whatever. Whether it`s true or not, whatever the reason is, I think tay's and her team is very creative to implement a strategy like this. And if it could also jack up the album sales, why not? Furthermore, people who buys the album also got no problem with it. Right, Swifties? haha!
And, well... At the end of the day, the records of the sales speaks for itself :P
For Tay's haters, she already said this million times and i want to remind you as well :
AND I`M JUST GONNA .............
HAHA!
Anyway, congrats, TAY! You proved them WELL! :D
OOT a little :
I am inspired to be a singer too but sadly, i can`t play any instrumental, have no good voice and i`m not as pretty and tall as Tay or the other artists out there, huhu. :(
Other than that, if you are famous, the drawback is you will no longer have privacy as the media and public WOULD KNOW everything about you somehow. So well, i might just give up on this big? dream of mine...... It`s just not me. (LOL!!!)
Hope i could meet Tay in person and take a pict with her someday.... Someday.... If fate steps in. haha!
