As most suspected would be happening, Taylor Swift this morning chose a global Yahoo webcast to announce the October release of her brand new album ‘1989’.
Named after the year she was born, the singer’s fifth studio LP is reportedly a mainstream pop affair… and there’s no denying that when listening to lead single ‘Shake It Off’, which was not only serviced to media and delivered to digital retailers earlier this morning, but also had its official video premiere (below).
It’s got a whole Outkast ‘Hey Ya’ vibe going on, but Taylor’s amazing sense of humour is on display for all to see; no taking herself too seriously with this project, it would seem.
‘1989’ is due for release in Australia on Tuesday October 28, presumably so we correspond with a Monday October 27 instore date across the rest of the planet.
