Review:  This is Taylor Swift’s third studio album and she continues to wow audiences.  The album sold over 1 million copies the week it was released. Swift sings of new love, lost love, and the loss of innocence.  This album is so inspirational and many listeners will be able to relate to at least one of the songs.  It could be “Mean” in which Swift speaks of overcoming bullying one day, or “Never Grow Up” when she sings of staying young forever.  Swift’s voice is amazing and the songs will have listeners wanting more.
