EW - 91:

If turning the biggest, shiniest pop record of the past year into a survey course in classic rock economy sounds like a novelty, it is. But it’s also the best kind--one that brings two divergent artists together in smart, unexpected ways, and somehow manages to reveal the best of both of them.

 

A.V. Club - 91:

What his version of 1989 does best is illustrate the strength of the source material. With the radio-ready gloss stripped away, these songs compare to the best moments in Swift’s back catalog.

 

LA Times - 80:

The crafty alt-country singer reimagines Swift’s blockbuster pop album as a polished roots-rock disc.

 

American Songwriter - 80:

It is 1989 reimagined, with often startling results.

 

Boston Globe - very positive:

He turns the songs into cosmic Americana with the sun-kissed glow of 1970s California rock.

 

 

Poor Taylor, this album getting a higher score :toofunny:

so making something rocky/acoustic grants you a acclaim? :eyesrolled:  

Rap or indie acoustic rock are like the most acclaimed genres.

So he's a male that plays cool rock music... of course it'll be better than the dipsy, blonde pop star singing boppy tunes?
