4 years ago today, Taylor Swift was photographed for SNL

October 27, 2014 - Taylor's album, 1989, was released

The inspiration behind this record, I was listening to a lot of late 80s pop ... I really loved the chances they were taking, how bold it was. It was apparently a time of limitless potential, the idea you could do what you want be what you want ... the idea of endless possibility was kind of a theme in the last two years of my life.

Singles on 1989 (2014):
