1989 (Taylor’s Version) is Taylor Swift’s fourth rerelease of her earlier albums.
This came after Taylor had a fallout with manager Scooter Braun as he acquired Big Machine Records and took control of her masters.
She then started rerecording her songs and started naming them after the original albums and adding the bit “Taylor’s Version”.
The rerecorded albums have been super successful. She previously dropped Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Red (Taylor’s Version) and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
Her newest re-release includes all songs from the original album, as well as five new vault tracks, which are “Is It Over Now?,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Suburban Legends” and “Slut!” 1989 was originally released in 2014 and included hit songs “Shake It Off,” “Bad Blood,” “Wildest Dreams,” “Blank Space” and “Style.”
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift (2006) and Reputation (2017) are the two albums remaining from her catalog that have yet to get rerecorded versions.
