The re-recorded album features 21 songs
Taylor Swift has revealed the complete track listing to 1989 (Taylor’s Version). Swift is set to release the next of her re-recorded albums on October 27th via Republic Records. The new version drops nine years to the date of its original release by Big Machine Records in 2014.
The project features the original album re-recorded along with five From the Vault tracks for a total of 21 tracks. “Slut,” “Say Don’t Go,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Suburban Legends” and “Is It Over Now?” are the vault tracks.
She teamed with Google to have fans solve puzzles via a virtual scavenger hunt. Swifties were sent into a frenzy earlier this week as they worked on solving 89 different puzzles to reveal four of the vault tracks. After the 33 million challenges were completed, four of the five vault songs were revealed via an audio message from Swift. Many fans experienced glitches while solving the puzzles.
Target is offering an additional track on the exclusive 2 LP tangerine vinyl. Target-exclusive CDs featuring a collectible lyric booklet with never-before-seen photos, different for each version, and double-sided posters are being offered as well.
Swift is currently in the midst of releasing re-recorded versions of her first six studio albums following a public feud with her former label, Big Machine Label Group. In July, she released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), featuring 22 songs, including five six From the Vault songs that were written during the album’s original era, but not recorded until recently.
Upon its release last month, she achieved “the biggest debut for an album this year” with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), her third re-recorded album, registering first-week sales of 716 thousand album equivalents in the US and over one million album equivalents worldwide, landing her at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. At the same time, the project made history by scoring “the biggest sales week for a re-recorded album ever,” besting even the one million first-week global consumption of Red (Taylor’s Version) in 2021. Plus, it notched the “second biggest vinyl sales week in Nielsen history,” following Taylor Swift’s Midnights. In addition, Swift is the first living artist in nearly 60 years with four of the top ten on the Billboard 200 with Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Midnights, Lover, and Folklore.
