Taylor Swift is gearing up to release her re-recorded version of her album “1989.” The announcement was made during her concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on August 9th. Swift revealed that this would be the next album in her “Taylor’s Version” series, where she re-records her past albums. The original “1989” album was released in October 2014.
During the concert, Swift surprised the audience by announcing the re-release of “1989” before performing a rendition of “New Romantics.” She showcased the new album art on a screen behind her and shared that the album will drop on October 27th.
Shortly after the concert, Swift’s official social media accounts also confirmed the news. In her post, she expressed her excitement about the re-recorded album and mentioned the inclusion of “5 From The Vault” tracks, which she described as “insane.”
One of the highlights of Swift’s re-recorded albums is the addition of new songs “from the vault” that were originally left off the original releases.
The Reason Behind Taylor Swift’s Re-Recording
Swift’s mission behind re-recording her albums is to regain ownership of her music. In 2019, Big Machine Records sold the masters of her first six albums to Scooter Braun, who then sold them to a private equity firm. Swift voiced her disapproval of the sale and made the decision to re-record those albums she initially created with Big Machine Records.
In a statement posted on social media in 2020, Swift expressed her excitement and creativity in re-recording her older music. She promised fans plenty of surprises.
True to her words, Swift has not only included “from the vault” tracks and new album art in her re-releases, but she has also created music videos for them.
Release Date of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”
“1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is set to be released on October 27th, the same date as the original “1989” album’s release in 2014.
Completed and Upcoming Re-Recorded Albums
Swift has already released several re-recorded albums, including:
- “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” (2021)
- “Red (Taylor’s Version)” (2021)
- “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” (2023)
After “1989,” the only remaining albums to be re-released are her debut album, “Taylor Swift,” originally released in 2006, and her 2017 album, “Reputation.”
Hints and Clues for “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”
Fans had a hunch that “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” was coming after Swift released her re-recorded album “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).” She also debuted a music video for a new song called “I Can See You,” where she drove off with Taylor Lautner and Joey King, passing a bridge with a sign that said “1989TV.”
Additionally, Swift’s Instagram post on July 7th, featuring her “belated Independence Day” party, hinted at the re-recording of “1989.” In the post, she posed with friends, and fans noticed that the original “1989” album cover was a Polaroid picture of Swift. Her Fourth of July parties were also a significant part of the “1989” era.
Furthermore, Swift’s Taylor Nation account added to the excitement by re-sharing one of her Fourth of July pictures, captioned with the cryptic message, “the air is getting pretty salty.”
Fans became even more thrilled as Swift dropped hints throughout her August 9th concert, including swapping her previous tour outfits for blue versions, which is the color associated with the “1989” album. Her website also changed from purple to blue, further fueling speculation about the re-release.
