1989 is Taylor Swift's fifth studio album, released October 27, 2014, through Big Machine Records, and named for her birth year. A deliberate and complete transition from country to synth-pop, the album was the best-selling album of 2014 in the United States, debuted at number one in over a dozen countries, and won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its five top-ten singles, 'Shake It Off,' 'Blank Space,' 'Style,' 'Bad Blood,' and 'Wildest Dreams', represent one of the strongest commercial runs in pop history, driven by the songwriting partnership with Max Martin and Shellback, whose polished Swedish pop production met Swift's confessional narrative approach. Jack Antonoff emerges as a key collaborator here, co-writing 'Out of the Woods' and 'I Wish You Would,' while 'Clean' was co-written with and produced by Imogen Heap. As with every Swift album, she holds a co-writing credit on every track.
