On July 14th, 1989, the Beatles released their seventh studio album, titledVersion 2.0. The album gained instant popularity among music fans and even made it to number ten on the Billboard charts. Since then, the concept of an album being released in multiple parts has become commonplace. However, it took over twenty years before another artist followed suit. That was when Taylor Swift released her second studio album- or in this case, her second part of an album.
When releasing an album, some artists choose to follow in the footsteps of The Beatles and release a single partway through their project. Others prefer to hold off releasing new music until the completion of their project. Many believe that the latter option is best since it allows for more creativity and experimentation in audio production. However, choosing which method to follow is a personal choice- and it can often be influenced by past experiences.
Swift's first album was inspired by her love of 1960s rock bands like the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. She based several of her songs on the groups' albums and chose to name her first album after one of these groups: 1989. This choice was meant to pay homage to her favorite rock bands from the 1960s and to show her respect for the era's music trends. She also wanted to signify that she was growing up by embracing this old classic style while also incorporating modern elements into her work.
As one of the most popular artists today, Swift's concert tickets are in high demand. Her first concert was attended by 3,000 fans in a stadium- much smaller than many modern concerts. Instead of performing in front of a giant audience, she played several songs from her then-unreleased sophomore album. This performance showcased many aspects of her talent that she had honed through years of practice. It also highlighted how comfortable she was with both singing and playing guitar live on stage.
Taylor's third studio album is currently ranked as one of the best albums of 2017 thus far with critics citing its lyrical mastery as one of its greatest attributes. The lead single off this album reached number one on the UK charts within 24 hours of its release and remained there for nine consecutive weeks. In addition, this track became Swift's 14th number one on the US charts within two weeks of its release as well as her fifth number one on country radio stations. Clearly, Taylor's setlist for her next concert should include some songs from this recently acclaimed album!
