The Taylor Swift We Know Now Was Born on ‘1989...say what?!

The Taylor Swift We Know Now Was Born on ‘1989’

It’s the 10-year anniversary of Swift’s iconic pivot to pop, and of the album that shifted the trajectory of both her career and the music industry

That moment was the release of 1989, and that album turned 10 years old on Sunday.

Nora can't do math

Huh?!
Is Nora using Obama math?
Because it's been 35 years not ten...

Ten years ago, was 2014...

Does any one born after the Android generation even know how to do arithmetic? This is a disgrace and laughable.

Can any one explain to me, the mistake made here.

I don't care about the story, I'm interested in the numbers.

She's saying the album was named 1989 and that it was released 10 years ago.

It was also the year she was born.

It's funny how numbers can have meanings beyond there numerical value.

Take 1984 for example. It is also the name of a book. Some think it is an instruction manual.

There are many sites trying to explain 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. Most seem to miss that it is a measure fo how far the Nautlis goes in its travels and not how deep it goes.

Much like words can mean more than one thing, so can numbers.

Was born "on" 1989, had me totally confused and after that nothing made sense. I know it's a typo and they meant 'in', but I got confused nevertheless.
