album Taylor Swift - '1989 (Taylor's Version)'

[kharijthedog]

 

Before anyone starts with the lashings these are fan art more than anything; I just couldn't stop thinking about 1989TV

also I know 1989 is light blue but it gives off beige vibes to me idk

If the BB remix isn’t on this, then the vault should be solo too, she can’t pick and choose… if she wants to release a dlx or a chapter/ep with the remix and vault features afterwards, it’s her call.

I still think she’s going to pull a 3 am edition with 1989 tv and give us more vault tracks. The only vault collab im seriously believing so far is Dua. Seems the most obvious. I could also see either Harry, Selena, Haim, Madonna, or Katy appearing as well. Especially if we do get more vault tracks.

a Dua collab would be a DREAM

taylor swift isn't allowed to pick and choose what she does with her career? ok...

[Twilish]

I honestly wonder how a katy and Taylor collab would sound. Imagine a teenage dream/nro/blank space level bop 

[Rebel Lion]

I still haven't recovered from this announcement

 

[1989]

I don’t want Dua anywhere near this. 

[youreyesgocold]

I don’t want Harry anywhere near this.

Tbh I think she’s the one who right now is the most teased. Taylor’s first pop album. Dua is the epitome of pop star right now. They’ve showed love to eachother before over the years. They headlined the Amazon festival show together in 2019.  A month before the 1989 tv announcement Taylor wore dua’s Versace collection jewelry for only one show. Dua posted it on her story and tagged Taylor with 5 blue butterfly emojis. Dua’s dad/ manager followed a bunch of swiftie accounts. Insiders like BlackoutZone who typically never have Taylor content this early but always have dua songs are hinting they’ve heard songs. Maybe they’ve heard the dua song?

Could just be a co write. They wrote multiple songs in studio sessions together in early 2013 per their labels request.

HOT TAKE:
Sweeter Than Fiction is not good. It did what it needed to do to prep for 1989, but it can remain on a "More EP/Chapter/Etc".\

 

Did STF even peak at No. 1 on iTunes?

 

Definitely not a hot take. It’s a bit MID.

 

Starlight is better.

I like madonna but like what's the point now ? she wouldn't add much

I disagree. Rep was all her. No label interference. First time she chose singles without help. No one even at the label heard it when she turned it in. The reason songs sound rockier live is because that’s what translates best in a stadium. She marketed rep as her bad girl era at first and pushed the more hip hop influenced songs as singles and nothing really connected with the GP, until delicate was released later on. I think this time around she will really push that it’s an album about love and focus more on the tropical dance / edm/ house / dance sound of the album for the vault tracks… but the album might have a lot of vault tracks so we could still get another revenge anthem/ hip hop infused song/ bad girl tay song.I def think she will serve looks in the photo shoot tho. Probably look hotter than the first album shoot. This time around, sexy tay could actually connect with the GP.

This “connected with the GP” is such a false narrative.

Sweeter Than Fiction is cute but not excellent. The production feels very demo-like so it could've been majorly improved as a re-record. It's really interesting though because it feels like the perfect midpoint between Red and 1989. The lyrics are soooo Red and the production is very 1989. The production feels very I Wish You Would voice memo-esque before it got beefed up for the album version.

 

Now in this perfect weather, it's like we don't remember the rain we thought would last forever and ever is a super cute lyric tho  the vocals in the outro are really good too and would sound even greater with present day vocals

THIS! She’s been collabing with people who inspired the albums and Madonna was one for 1989. It would be amazing. 
 

I also am really shocked there’s only 5 vault tracks for her biggest album. Maybe she’s tryna keep quality control on it? My motto for music is the more the merrier especially for a rerecording situation. 
 

I REALLY hope we get more hiphop/dark songs from the vault for Rep. I need more Ready for it, End Game, IDSB, DBM, and Look. And less of the 2nd half of the album

[Orsay]

that cover i’m SCREAMING it couldn’t be worse ctfu

[Taylor fanboy]

Reminder that Annie Lennox, Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel were also 1989 “inspirations” in addition to Madonna.

[Buffy]

I prefer zero collabs. 99% of her collabs are forgettable and don’t add any value.

[PurrKaty]

It’s safe to say we’re getting 2 features in the vault tracks, right? Or maybe not since this album has the least vault tracks?
 

Fearless had Maren Morris & Keith Urban

Red had Phoebe Bridgers, Chris Staple & Ed Sheeran

Speak Now had Fall Out Boy & Paramore

My other hot take is this song is unlistenably bad. The chorus and verses do not go together at all. Miss Hayley OUTSOLD with Airplanes.

Yes the production is giving demo. Maybe a re-record could elevate it a bit. it peaked at #6 on itunes.

[kexin]

we wanted Sweeter Than Fiction (Taylor’s Version)… the faux proto-1989 production… her first song with Jack…. the trademark rain motif… what’s not to love. that guitar riff in the bridge is insane.

 

the refusal to back down from criticism and “no’s” when this era was built upon Taylor rejecting her label’s ideal mandates for this album, such as including a country track. it’s a very empowering track and accomplishes what Only The Young lacked greatly.

[1989]

To be clear, I want zero collabs on this. 

[Kyle-x]

And when the only collab is Mary J. Blige?
