The songs that truly make “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” stand out are the vault tracks. This blend creates a sequence of songs that can be enjoyable to any listener. Other songs on the album like “Wonderland” and “Clean” keep the same upbeat tune but with more emotional lyrics. Songs like “Style” and “Welcome to New York” are songs that are ideal to dance to, and relatively light in content. “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” remains true to its predecessor by blending upbeat songs and slower rhythms.

My first concert was a show on the 1989 tour. This album is not just music it recalls childhood memories that live in the back of my mind. I was in fifth grade, on the cusp of middle school, when I first listened to “1989.” When I listened to “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” in 2023, the same emotions that I felt listening to 1989 in 2014 rose to the surface. When Taylor Swift left her previous record label, Big Machine Records, and signed to Republic Records in 2018, she lost the rights to her first six albums: “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989,” and “Reputation.” In order to regain her rights, Swift began to re-record her discography, dubbing each album, in parentheses, “Taylor’s Version.” After re-recording three of her earliest albums, Swift released “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” on October 27, 2023.īack in 2014, Taylor Swift was “reinvented for the first time” (according to herself) when she released 1989 in 2014, as this album represents her foray from country into pop.
