In Taylor Swift Blank Space I hear a ton of static starting around 26 seconds.
 
I tried difference sources, flac, apple music, with fulla 2, without and all have the static noise around the same time.
 
I'm using dt 990 250 ohm if that matters.
 
Oddly enough its easier to hear with flac + fulla 2 which makes me conclude the problem is in the source and the better source/dac preserves the flaw better.
 
Can anybody else confirm the static on their end?

Just looked up the song on youtube, I hear it as well. Using HD650 and schiit stack.

How can they release songs in this state?  The static is so obvious. I assume somebody in the studio listened to this at least once with studio headphones

Its most certainly intentional.

It gets worse (for me anyway) - in the song below they have the static right when it's the one I have the hots for is singing, which is inexcusable because that's a relatively quiet part (ie no beat/percussion). The only system I have that couldn't reproduce it is my BT speaker.
 

One upside though...60fps
