If anyone’s forever bound to win in pop music, it’s Taylor Swift. The country flair is a thing of the past as she embraces pure pop with “1989.” She gives plenty of warning on opener “Welcome to New York” as she proclaims atop its twinkling synths, “it’s a new soundtrack; I could dance to this beat.” On ‘80s pop–inspired “Out of the Woods” or the breathy delight “Wildest Dreams,” it’s clear that she’s doing what she wants and is doing it quite well. Imogen Heap lends crisp, angelic backing vocals to “Clean” in an unexpected but great collaboration. The only missteps in the set are lead single “Shake It Off” and “Bad Blood,” which both sound like uninspired cheerleader chants. Overall, it’s not so much of a change for Swift as it is a brilliantly deep dive into a sound of which she’s been scratching the surface up to this point in her career.
