2014年10月23日，泰勒·斯威夫特在社交網站Instagram曝光新專輯《1989》標準版完整曲目。如果說上一張專輯《Red》中“鄉村”與“流行”的分庭抗禮，標誌著泰勒·斯威夫特向“流行音樂界”的正式進軍，那么這一張《1989》則意味著她對“鄉村音樂”的徹底轉型，雖然出道後的泰勒一直被人詬病不夠“村”，但她走的卻是“穩紮穩打”的路子。從村味兒最濃的《Taylor Swift》，到“鄉樂流行化”的《Fearless》《Speak Now》，再到試水加入的電音迴響貝斯元素《Red》，泰訂勸船勒可謂是步步為營。每個農村出身的人，或多或少都曾有過，對城市生活無可救藥的迷戀。店匪歡腳因此，聽眾就要理解，泰勒作為鄉樂歌手轉型成為流行歸騙說樂歌手之後，在《Welcome to New York》這首描述城市燈火的歌中，所透露出的“咄咄逼人”。另一方面，如果說《Red》是她和“流行樂”簽訂的雙邊合作協定紙邀，那《1989》簡直就是一篇完整的婚姻誓詞。

You stand with your hand on my waistline
It's a scene and we're out here in plain sight
I can hear them whisper as we pass by
It's a bad sign (bad sign)...
Something happens when everybody finds out
See the vultures circling, dark clouds
Love's a fragile little flame
It could burn out, it could burn out
Cause they got the cages, they got the boxes. and guns
They are the hunters, we are the foxes
And we run
Baby
I know places we won't be found and
They'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
Cause I know places we can hide
I know places...
Lights flash
And we'll run for the fences
Let them say what they want
We won't hear it
Loose lips sink ships all the damn time, not this time
Just grab my hand
And don't ever drop it
My love
They are the hunters, we are the foxes
And we run
Baby, I know places we won't be found
And they'll be chasing their tails
trying to track us down
Cause I, I know places we can hide
I know places
They are the hunters, we are the foxes
We run
Just grab my hand and don't ever drop it
My love
Baby, I know places we won't be found
And they'll be chasing their tails trying to track us down
So over the years a lot of people have asked me to sort of describe my songwriting process from beginning to end, how long does it take, where do you write, what are the circumstances, do you start with the music or do you start with the lyrics. And you know my answer is always that it happens differently every time and that's why I'm still so in love with songwriting. So what I've done here is shown you three different examples of, um, the beginning stages of these songs and how they each started different ways so um I'll explain them to you and maybe that'll help you understand kinda how I put songs together.
I sent this voice memo to Ryan Tedder because I'd always wanted to work with him and finally we scheduled some studio time. So...I always want to be prepared I want to send him the idea that I was working on before we went to the studio just in case he wrote back and said I can't stand that I want to work on something else, think of something else. So...um...I just set down the piano, put my phone on top of the piano and just kind of explain to him where I wanted to go with this song, how I saw the melody sitting in and um...we ended up recording this song the next day and they ended up being on the record called I know places. So this was the voice memo I sent to him the night before we ended up finishing the song.
Okay...so this is kind of this rough idea thing...
or whatever I don't know this just...it's basically like a dark...really dark like Lear...like bridge thing and it's about like...uh...everybody is like trying to get in to...like ruin a love or whatever and it's like you just...whatever, your know. And in the chorus we just go to that major...and it's just...really like "oh" chorus...um so I hope you'll like it. It wouldn't be a piano thing, it would be like...like...very like beat. Now I'm just making weird sounds...hope you'll like it.
