When Taylor Swift announced she was going pop, the world wasn’t ready for the album that would shape 2015 forever.

The singles, the music videos, the GD Polaroids — it changed our lives and therefore deserves the highest honor in music. Here are 19 reasons 1989 deserves to win album of the year at the Grammy Awards.

1. For starters, 1989 has sold more than 8-million albums worldwide.

2. Making Taylor Swift the official, full-fledged queen of pop.

3. It spent an entire year in the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

4. And sold more copies in one day than Justin Bieber’s Purpose in a week.

5. After 1989 was released, you heard things like “I never liked her before, but now, maybe I've been converted?”

6. 1989 revived our need for a physical CD with those fucking adorable Polaroids we all had to have.

7. Not to mention the bonus tracks. THE BONUS TRACKS ARE FIRE.

8. "New Romantics" was even rumored to be a single at one point.

9. Speaking of singles — ‘Blank Space’ is currently the most-viewed music video on VEVO of all time.

10. And “Starbucks Lovers” is STILL stuck in our heads.

11. You almost forgot Taylor was ever country because she does pop so damn well.

12. When the album dropped, you couldn’t predict which song would be a single because they were all THAT epic.

13. 1989 is currently tied with most #1’s on the pop charts from a single album with Michael Jackson’s Thriller and Katy Perry’s Teenage Dream.

14. When you made fun of Taylor Swift for writing about boys — on 1989, she made fun of you by writing three #1 hits about it: Shake It Off, Blank Space and Bad Blood.

15. Ahhh, Bad Blood — the Bad Blood poster reveal leading up to the music video had us GAGGING!

16. And the video even broke the VEVO record for most views in 24 hours.

17.The 1989 World Tour grossed over $217M and became one of the highest selling female tours of all-time!

18. And although never stopping in NYC on tour — 1989 revived everyone's love for the Big Apple.

19. 1989 was nominated for 8 Grammys this year — and if we have anything to do with it, 1989 will win 8 Grammys this year, too!
