I can’t get over how massively improved Blank Space and Shake It Off are. The original are garbage in comparison. I’m shocked

Does anyone else hear a steelpan in the main melody of Clean (TV)? It wasn’t there before and it’s an interesting addition.

guys what happened? I just woke up and I’m heading to work. I slept at around 2am ish so what did I kiss? I see the bad blood remix is available but what else happened and when was it announced and released and what was the reaction like and stuff omg 

You are up to date on what happened. The deluxe edition with the BB remix only is making all of us confused so obviously we're now clowning that she's gonna keep adding songs to it. :suburban:

Welcome To New York - upgrade.  The more frantic pace really suits it and brings out it's 90s whimsical tv show vibe in a much better way. Still a skip but they elevated a horrible song.

Blank Space - it's okay.  I like that it's cleaner and more straightforward but at the same time it's too on the nose which kind of cheapens it and takes it from perfectly crafted satire pop perfection to silly. The BUT  I got a blank space baby bit throws me off. Even the pen click sounds silly. 

Style - bad. It's like they went out of their way to take out the dreamy aspects that make the song and leave it hollow. 

Out Of The Woods - upgrade. I mean it's Jack's production originally so he knew what to do with it but had she paid this much attention to every track, we would be having a totally different conversation. Fantastic. Same with All You Had to Do Was Stay.

Wildest Dreams - it's okay.  Not bad, not great.

How You Get The Great - upgrade. They managed to refresh it without it losing it's innocent saccharin feel. She even captured the vocals the right way. 

I Know Places - it's okay. The way this could've been epic given how stronger her vocals are compared to a decade ago and she just did the bare minimum. 

Clean - it's okay. Thank god they brought Imogen back. I have no complains apart from the fact that the chorus production drowns (lol) her vocals out. 

Wonderland - upgrade. Always loved it. Still do. 

New Romantics - bad.  My one fear about this re-recording is that she would botch NR and she absolutely ******* did. Mourning right now. 

Bad Blood, I Wish You Would, Shake It Off, This Love, You Are In Love- I don't really give a **** about these or the vault songs apart from **** which is cute and Now That We Don't Talk which is great but too short. 

 

6.10. 

 

I'll listen to the tv versions if I put on a taylor playlist on shuffle but I'm going to the original for when I want to listen to 1989 in full.

Now that we don’t talk is the best vault sing

what is 'style' :rip:what is 'new romantics':rip:not cute

i think the only explanation is that we are SO used to the stolen version of the hit songs that the taylor version is almost always kinda weird 

cuz there's no other way of looking it, this is some 'red TV' **** all over again 

the non-singles are MASTERPIECES and she made all of them BETTER than the stolen ones.. and the singles are 'welp it doesn't hit as hard'. 

 

she made a good job with blank space tho! it's different but good, polished in a good way.

I think she did a GREAT job without Max. I'm impressed with Shake It Off, that was the most difficult one to replicate but she nailed it. 

 

Say Don't Go is an instant classic. Taylor and Diane DID THAT.

You think I didn’t see you?

There were flashing lights

At least I had the decency to KEEP MY NIGHTS out of sight. 
 

Only rumours bout my HIPS and THIGHS and my whispered sighs OH LORD I think about jumping, off a very tall something just to see you come RUNNIN’ and say the one thing I’ve been wanting… BUT NOOO…

… wtf did they do to Style??? Blank space sounds decent. Wonderland’s vocals are definitely an upgrade. All you had to do was stay was okay but the “stay” during the chorus is definitely too loud. Taylor, please bring max back and re-release 1989 Taylor’s version because some of these aren’t it.
