Without a doubt the strongest pop album of 2014 is 1989 by Taylor Swift. This comes as no surprise to me- I'm a diehard Taylor Swift fan. Over the past six years, Taylor inspired many hairbrush karaoke sessions for me. Her songs boast thousands of plays on my iPod. And I've seen her four times in concert, including once on every one of her headlining US tours.
I received Panic! At The Disco's first full length album, "A Fever You Can't Sweat Out" as a sixteenth birthday present and then proceeded to bury some teenage angst between the lines of their witty lyrics with every listen. Now, nine years later, the make up and sound of the band has shifted throughout the years, but one thing's for sure- Panic! still turn every live performance into an infectious dance party.
Confetti and streamers burst into the air, fire shot up off the stage and two of the nation's biggest pop punk bands combined forces on Friday night to give fans a bigger show than they've ever seen from either artist- one deserving of the title Monumentour.
