@MOJOmagazine @taylorswift13 Hard to choose between this and Reputation but 1989 is a perfect fusion of 80s soft rock and Taylor’s impeccable pop nous. The ultimate pop star of this century - what a shame your post has resulted in some (predictable) negative reactions!

@MOJOmagazine How to buy Tina Turner: Private Dancer - a perfect pop/rock album I never get bored of. The original songs are great, some of the covers (Let’s Stay Together, I Can’t Stand the Rain) are even better.
