Taylor Swift's new album cover features a discolored Polaroid with "T.S. 1989" written on it.
T.S. being her initials, 1989 being the year she was born.
What other images could you put into that frame that would sense? What were other T.S. things happening in 1989? Hmmm..
1. Tiananmen Square
The Beijing student demonstrations in the spring of 1989 that resulted in a military crackdown. The arrests and death toll of the massacre is estimated to be in the hundreds and possibly thousands.

The show premiered on December 17, 1989. Four days after the true premier of Taylor Swift.
3. Tori Spelling
She had a small role in Troop Beverly Hills that year.
4. Tony Stark
