Swift's clean break from country into glossy 1980s-leaning synth-pop, packed with hits and sharp writing. It reset her career and proved her pop instincts. The most immediate place to meet her as a pop star. Released in 2014, it's a key entry in Taylor Swift's run.
On vinyl: A vinyl-revival-era release, so fresh pressings are usually easy to find new.
