1989 (Taylor's Version) is the upcoming fourth re-recorded album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, set for release on October 27, 2023, via Republic Records. It is a re-recording of Swift's fifth studio album, 1989 (2014), and follows Speak Now (Taylor's Version), released in July 2023. The re-recording is a part of Swift's counteraction to her 2019 masters dispute.

The album was announced on August 9, 2023, at the last Los Angeles show of Swift's ongoing concert tour, the Eras Tour. Two tracks from the album—"Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)" and "This Love (Taylor's Version)" —were released ahead on September 17, 2021, and May 6, 2022, respectively. Both peaked within the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Taylor Swift released her fifth studio album, 1989, on October 27, 2014, under Big Machine Records. Inspired by 1980s synth-pop, Swift conceived 1989 to recalibrate her artistry to pop after marketing her first four albums to country radio. The album was a critical and commercial success, receiving positive reviews from music critics and selling over 1.287 million copies within its first week in the United States. Three of its singles—"Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood"—reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Swift became the first artist to have three albums each sell one million copies within the first week, 1989 was the first album released in 2014 to exceed one million copies,[1] and topped the Billboard 200 for 11 non-consecutive weeks.[2] At the 58th Annual Grammy Awards (2016), it won Album of the Year and Best Pop Vocal Album,[3] making Swift the first female artist to win the former two times.[4]

Swift released her next studio album, Reputation (2017), under Big Machine, as per her recording contract, which expired in November 2018. She hence withdrew from Big Machine and signed a new deal with Republic Records, which secured her the rights to own the masters of any new music she would release.[5] In 2019, American businessman Scooter Braun acquired Big Machine;[6] the ownership of the masters to Swift's first six studio albums, including 1989, transferred to him.[7] In August 2019, Swift denounced Braun's purchase and announced that she would re-record her first six studio albums so as to own their masters herself.[8] Swift began the re-recording process in November 2020.[9] Fearless (Taylor's Version), the first of her six re-recorded albums, was released on April 9, 2021, followed by Red (Taylor's Version) on November 12, 2021,[10][11] and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) on July 7, 2023; all three achieved critical and commercial success, debuting atop the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.[12]

Swift began teasing 1989 (Taylor's Version) with "Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)",[13] released on September 17, 2021, amid a viral TikTok trend involving the original 2014 recording of the song. "This Love (Taylor's Version)" was released on digital platforms on May 6, 2022.[14] A snippet of "Bad Blood (Taylor's Version)" was featured in the 2022 animated film DC League of Super-Pets.[15] The 2023 music video for "I Can See You" had an Easter egg hinting at the re-record of 1989.[16] Several hints to the imminent announcement were noticed by fans while Swift performed at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles as part of her sixth concert tour, the Eras Tour, on August 8, 2023, including several of Swift's outfits changing to a blue color, and fans' LED wristbands flashing blue five times.[17]

On August 9, 2023, at the final Los Angeles show of the tour, Swift announced 1989 (Taylor's Version) as her next re-recorded album, set for release on October 27, 2023, nine years after the original release of 1989.[18] SoFi Stadium illuminated its roof with the album title following the announcement.[17]

Release

1989 (Taylor's Version) is scheduled for release on October 27, 2023, making it Swift's fourth re-recorded album. It contains 21 tracks, five of which are designated "From the Vault", indicating unreleased songs that were written for 1989 but did not make the final track list in 2014.[19] The physical album will come in vinyl, cassette, and CD formats. In addition to a standard edition CD, four deluxe edition CDs were made available for pre-order for the first 89 hours after the announcement, each of which were a different color and included one of four sets of five double-sided cards containing photos and lyrics.[note 1][21][22]
