Taylor Swift delights fans with the release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version).” The highly anticipated re-recorded version of her fifth studio album arrived on October 27, exactly nine years after the original “1989” debut. With newly recorded tracks and bonus songs, it’s another gem in her re-recording series.
Swifties Rejoice!
1989 (Taylor’s Version) is finally here. The re-recorded version of Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album made its much-anticipated debut at midnight on October 27th. Nine years to the day after the original “1989” album took the world by storm in 2014. This revamped set includes newly recorded versions of all 13 original songs, along with three exciting bonus tracks: “Wonderland,” “New Romantics,” and “You Are In Love.”
The Taylor Swift Vault Is Open
Following in the footsteps of Swift’s prior “Versions,” “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” also unveils several previously unreleased “Vault” songs. These hidden gems, written by the pop sensation long ago, were initially left off her albums’ tracklists. This release treats fans to “Vault” tracks like “Is It Over Now?,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Suburban Legends,” and “Slut!”
Teasers and Lyrics
Leading up to this exciting project, Taylor Swift teased fans with snippets of “Vault” songs. She posted handwritten lines of poetry on her Instagram Stories, offering glimpses of what was to come. “I broke my own heart ’cause you were too polite to do it,” read one intriguing note from Thursday (Oct. 26).
Countdown to Completion
With the arrival of “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” Taylor Swift has only two more albums to re-record: her self-titled debut from 2006 and 2017’s “Reputation,” her final album under Big Machine Records. In 2021, Swift released “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red (Taylor’s Version),” and in July of this year, she unveiled “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).”
Taylor’s Favorite Re-record
Swift initially revealed the exciting news about “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” during an Eras Tour show in August. She expressed her deep connection to the album by saying, “The ‘1989’ album changed my life in countless ways. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 ‘From The Vault’ tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind.”
A Nostalgic Trip
Widely hailed as Taylor Swift’s first pure pop album, “1989” marked the transition that led her to become the omnipresent, record-breaking star she is today. The album features timeless hits like “Shake It Off,” “Bad Blood,” “Blank Space,” and “Style,” as well as cherished fan favorites like “Out of the Woods” and “New Romantics.”
In addition to updated recordings of these classics, “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” introduces fans to the exciting “Vault” tracks “Slut!,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Suburban Legends,” and “Is It Over Now?”. Plus, there’s a special sixth previously unreleased song, “Sweeter Than Fiction,” exclusively available through Target. Collectors will be thrilled to find the album on cassette, light blue vinyl, and multiple colored CDs.
With “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” now a reality, Taylor Swift has only her self-titled debut and “Reputation” left in her re-recording journey. Her most recent original release was 2022’s “Midnights.”
Swift’s “The Eras Tour,” whose concert film recently achieved the status of the highest-grossing project of its kind, is set to resume next month. Tickets can be obtained through Tickets Countdown, which offers a 100% money-back guarantee and secure checkout. The celebration of Taylor’s timeless music continues, and fans couldn’t be happier.
