Taylor Swift Announces Release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”
Taylor Swift has announced that her highly anticipated re-recording of her album “1989” is finally on its way. The pop superstar took to her social media accounts to share the news with her millions of fans. The re-recorded album, titled “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” is set to be released on October 27th.
“1989” was originally released in 2014 and is an album that Swift has said “changed my life in countless ways.” She expressed her excitement about announcing her latest “Version” and thanked her fans for their support.
In addition to the re-recorded tracks from the original album, “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” will include five previously unreleased songs from the vault. Swift teased that these tracks are “insane” and that she can’t believe they were ever left behind.
Fans can pre-order the album from Swift’s official website, with four special-edition deluxe CDs and a “Crystal Skies Blue” vinyl and cassette formats available. This will be Swift’s fourth “Version” release as part of her ongoing re-recording project, following the success of “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” and “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).”
All three previous re-recordings have topped the Billboard 200 chart and the Official UK Albums Chart. Swift has also achieved multiple top 10 hits on the Hot 100 with songs from the “Version” albums, including the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.”
The original recording of “1989” spent 11 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and the re-recorded version is expected to achieve similar success. Swift is known for breaking records, and this year alone she surpassed Barbra Streisand for the most No. 1 albums among women and became the first living artist in nearly 60 years to have four concurrent albums in the top 10.
Swift’s announcement of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” comes as she wraps up her first leg of The Eras Tour in Los Angeles. The global tour will continue with international dates in Latin America, Asia, Australia, and Europe before returning to North America in 2024.
Fans of Taylor Swift are eagerly awaiting the release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” and can’t wait to hear the re-recorded tracks and the five new songs from the vault. With Swift’s track record of success, it’s safe to say that this album will be another hit for the pop superstar.
