AvadaKedavra Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) I know I might sound very entitled after all the Grand Amazing content Tay has given us in these last 4 years, but... I can't believe she didn't shoot music videos for this era, which was her biggest and most iconic. Red had two Also, there was hardly any promotion or anything super special. 1989 is my favorite Taylor album and the first one i listened in full from her, and I'm honestly disappointed. Where's the Circus and Frenzy I thought these re-recordings would be a full-on spectacle and chart domination Where all the Max Martin songs too. Why only Jack Antonoff. Are you shocked like me? and confused? Why is Taylor treating her most sophisticated album this bad Mom what is happenin Edited December 3, 2023 by AvadaKedavra 3 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BtDecember Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Outside of the charts and numbers, even Speak Now TV is more eventful 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perpetual novice Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Yes. 1989 is a modern classic and she re-recorded it on the cheap. Really wanted some reimagined version of Style in particular but didn’t get it. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonginBey Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 RED is her magnum opus, so she treated it accordingly. Poor others! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naval23 Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Even she knows it doesn't touch the original with the Style and Blank Space remakes being huge downgrades But releasing the album is 90% of it, everything else is just a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasix Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 she just doesn’t have time to fill stuff between touring and Travis, and as we saw with the karma/I can see you video, what could an MV really do when it only brought in a few dozen million views anyway lol.

Really wanted some reimagined version of Style in particular but didn’t get it. I agree. Is there a reason she couldn't have brought in Max for his tracks? Those tracks seem to suffer the worst, especially Style. Plus, I saw someone on I think TikTok point out technical errors left on the tracks. It's sad as I enjoyed most of the rerecordings and her improved vocals, but the 1989 one was a disappointment compared to the others, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Treason Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 The 1989 rerecordings in general are underwhelming, karaoke'd versions of the original songs. As far as the era itself, I'm actually thankful she's not doing too much. We need this rerecording era over with, especially reputation TV since we know some of the original producers won't be involved. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need this rerecording era over with, especially reputation TV since we know some of the original producers won't be involved. Sometimes I wonder if she's aware of the negative reviews of Speak Now-1989, and how those versions weren't as strong as the originals, so, she's highly disappointed. Now she just wants to release the re-recordings super quickly to put an end to all of this I still have faith that maybe next year, when she's more free, she'll give us a video or do something special for this era Edited December 3, 2023 by AvadaKedavra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theoghon Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) Yes, if I was involved with putting out a major rerecording I'd pull out ALL the tricks, hire Beck's engineering/mixing team for a pristine audiophile recording AND have Rick Rubin for exec. Prod to ensure the vocals aren't butchered, plan out a COMPREHENSIVE boxset, nice set of remixes, great vinyl quality, focus on producing at least 1 quality af MV for the main vault single e.t.c.

Sadie Saxton Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 I think she’s over the re-recording era and just trying to push it along . If she attempted promo on 1989tv it would drag so long 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No music videos, no fun promo, nothing. But to be fair, I think the vault tracks are the weakest of all the TVs, so I don't mind that much that she's not putting much effort into the era. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonicap Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) She did nothing for Fearless TV because she thought the process wasn't going to be that big numbers wise. Then with RED TV she saw the potential it had and ATW gave her the chance to sneak into film direction. With Speak Now she did another MV but she realized that the re-recordings were a big deal for one week, then the songs decline fast because they are old and everybody knows them already. So for 1989 she maximized first week sales and that's it, with Cruel Summer there is no point in pushing anything else. Reputation has a very specific and powerful iconography so maybe it will have a MV again, but nothing after the first week. These are not eras, there is nothing to discuss once you've bought the physicals and listened to the bonus tracks. It's like a deluxe version. And quality wise, for 99% of the people the songs sound the same as the originals, so irrelevant conversation.

blackoutbritney Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 She already gave y’all like 4 albums this year, a movie, and is on a massive tour idk what y’all expect she already did this era in 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrokenMachine Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) The main reason of the re-recordings wasn't to make an era over again, it was always about the money. Now she can license those songs to big companies and getting those big checks instead of Big Machine Edited December 3, 2023 by BrokenMachine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLUTTVFTV Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) kinda dissapointed with this too, bc 1989 TV is actually very good imo, and my fav from the re-records. The lack of mvs doesn't bother me, bc her mvs haven't been great, but I miss the interviews! They seem to be smaller in number each era. At least it did well on the charts right? Hoping she gets her mass-promoting ass out for TS11 Edited December 3, 2023 by SLUTTVFTV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pink Whitney Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 (edited) tbh I don't understand why there's no music video for her most anticipated rerecord but hopefully she's just saving the real event for rep TV Edited December 3, 2023 by Pink Whitney 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
