Feminism is simply based around the idea that women deserve the same opportunities as men and aren't subjected to bias based on their gender. I don't see how "badmouthing" your ex's new girl is anti-feminist or fits into the main objective of feminism (which is so much bigger than relationship drama) at all. I think we are really stretching and trying to rubber band feminism around any and everything. A girl doesn't dislike her ex's new girl BECAUSE she is a girl, but because of a personal connection she has to her ex (she would likely badmouth any person, whatever gender, who got with him). lol
Oh the reaching.

^yeah if I liked a guy and he started dating a girl I wouldn't be mad because she's a girl. I'd be frustrated because I had feelings for the guy

I just saw a video with taylor holding 1989, and I saw the back cover? And it's her face (the part that isn't cut by the front cover) and it looked nice!

With the addition of the 'Voice' promo, I think 1 million in first week sales is reachable.

^ A lot of pop songs cross over to the Latin stations on a weekly basis. Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On" was even able to top the Latin charts for a couple of weeks back in 1998.

I'm really surprised there haven't been any kind of public previews or release of any other song (2nd single?!) from the album. Hell, we don't even have a track list for this yet. I guess this is their way of building anticipation? If so, it's working lol.

Well the Rhythm Remix of "Shake It Off" hasn't even showed up on the web. Are they saving this for a future Itunes release? Well Taylor likes to surprise people and I think this pop album will surprise everyone when it is released in a little under 3 weeks from now on Itunes.

She was asked on Tumblr if there will be any pre-release tracks on iTunes and she replied with "Patience, my child." So the first one is probably coming next week.

Research Explains Why You're Playing T-Swift's Shake It Off on Repeat By Akane Otani October 06, 2014 Here’s the essential ingredient for a chart topper: backup vocals. Whether you’re a Belieber or an Ariana Grande devotee, there’s a good chance your favorite hit song received a little oomph from supporting singers, a study from the USC Marshall School of Business and SDA Bocconi University found. The study was published last month in Musicae Scientiae, the journal of the European Society for the Cognitive Sciences of Music. To understand what makes a song a hit, researchers analyzed 1,029 songs that cracked No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 from 1958 to 2012. They compared the types of instruments and vocals they heard in those songs with 1,451 others that failed to climb past No. 90. From Jay-Z’s 2000 hit Hey Papi to Taylor Swift’s more recent Shake It Off, the majority of chart toppers included backup vocals (Swift’s isolated vocals from a recent performance of Shake it Off are a testament to the importance of a backup band). Relative flops like Aretha Franklin’s Try a Little Tenderness, which was unable to rise above No. 90 on the chart, featured the diva’s vocals alone. Story: Can Big Data Help Music Labels Find That Perfect Backbeat? “I was on a plane flying home from overseas when I saw this movie, 20 Feet From Stardom, and that’s when it hit me—all of these great bands with hits used these nonfamous background singers,” says Joseph Nunes, a marketing professor at Marshall and one of the study’s authors. “What was really surprising was that it was both essential for a top song and essential to leave out for a song that stayed in the bottom of the chart,” he says. Why do people seem to dig backup vocals? Simply put, they make us think songs sound better. “A single vocal line can often sound lonely, while in contrast the dynamic interaction between a lead singer and one or more background singers may sound fuller,” the study said. Story: Why Coca-Cola Released 32 Versions of the Same Song for the World Cup Of course, neither researchers nor recording studios have yet developed an exact formula for a No. 1 song. Songs without backup vocals might still rise to the top of the chart if they’re backed up by killer marketing campaigns. Someone with a massive following like Rihanna “may overcome any effect of instrumentation,” the study said. Then there’s the complete lack of consensus on why we like some music and not others, or why we even have music in the first place, Nunes says. The research does help explain why Pharrell’s aggravatingly upbeat Happy clung to the No. 1 spot for 10 very long weeks this year. Note to Pharrell: For the sake of our sanity, please nix the extra vocals next time. www.businessweek.com/articles/2014-10-06/researchers-discover-what-makes-a-song-become-a-hit?hootPostID=b01c9fc7ebb9d166f38fb13b3306bc22

Track 4 was written with Jack Antonoff. Taylor said in the #1989 sessions that her favorite song was "Out of the Woods" (Jack Antonoff)

Could that mean no 2nd single at all then. :'( Could it be possible that this album could leak before the tracklisting ever comes out? Usually albums leak 4-5 Days before hand. Also interesting is that the International Itunes have the Deluxe version while the US Itunes only has the Standard version on it. Could Taylor pull a part-Beyonce and release the album without a tracklisting? Hmm....
