I voted for the original just because it's pretty damn near perfect. The remake is just a bonus.

Style and New Romantics are def better on OG. Blank Space - love both versions but on the rest - I give it to Taylor's Version.

The biggest improvements for me are Wonderland (less noisy), AYHTDWS, Clean, I Know Places, This Love.

For me, 1989 TV is basically the same (if not a greater improvement) than most of the original tracks. It is a very well-done rerecord and hope she keeps this up for reputation TV :clap3:

I should’ve known when the 1989 TV artwork dropped it was also going to reflect the quality of that tribute album - unfortunately the stolen version clears

Outside of a couple songs (eg. Style, New Romantics) or little moments here and there, I think I prefer the TV (or at least it's good to enough to where I will stream it over the OG).

People voting for success when original is still and will always be infinitely better. It was going to be an impossible task recreating the magic of the original.
