I almost wish we were getting Lover (Taylor's Version) too for completion's sake, even if it doesn't really make sense. I think it's easy to see reputation and Lover as a pair, so it feels a bit off one of them is getting the re-recording treatment and the other isn't, especially with how folklore was such a major turning point in Taylor's career, and Lover being the only album that preceded it to be "left out".
I actually really do like Run, it's far and away the best song she's done with Ed. It reminds me of Ed's first two albums, which were actually good. Also, her writing it on hotel paper....Michelle Branch her impact!
If you have 55 minutes to spare, her whole interview for TIFF is now available online. Posting this here since I think most of the conversation is about the All Too Well short film.
Sooooo any educated guesses with Taylors coloured vinyls for the remaining albums? I have Lover (pink/blue), Folklore (biege), Evermore (green), Fearless (Gold) and Red (Red). I know it's trivial as she normally has multiple options for every album, I just don't want the same colour twice.
I feel like debut will be blue, Speak Now has to be purple and reputation would make sense being a grey vinyl.
I see he still managed to get in some passive-aggressive digs at Taylor without even referring to her by name. Honestly, this man is a raging bin fire.
I wonder how she is planning the rollout of the re-recordings. Midnights is coming later this month and a tour is rumoured for next year?
This is how I imagine it will go and maybe a repeat of new album then re-record. October - Midnights December - Tour Announcement 2023 April - Speak Now TV May - Tour Starts November - 1989 TV
I imagine she’s done with debut, Speak Now and 1989, and she’ll be working on Reputation shortly. I would love Speak Now at the top of next year & 1989 just before the tour kicks off. Reputation and finally the debut will probably be towards the middle/end of next year.
The Sun isn’t exactly the most reputable source but they were right about Taylor recording new music so yath, LET’S GO!!
She can't start on it until November so that's probably purely speculative just because it's close in time, and the same outlet said she'd be releasing a song with Drake as a vault track... which we know isn't likely to happen.
To be fair I don’t see why she couldn’t get the vault tracks done now ready to do the album next month? I think we all expect 1989 to be released around the tour but if Shake It Off is still caught up in court maybe she’ll switch to Reputation.
reputation is a good album marred by several very egregious low points so I'm looking forward to the new version if only for the vault tracks that are inevitably far less labored than several of songs that made the final cut.
