After months of speculation, the 33-year-old pop sensation confirmed the rumors last night during her concert at Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium. "1989" was originally released back in 2014, and features the hit songs "Shake It Off", "Blank Space," and "Wildest Dreams." The announcement comes a little over a month since the release of "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."
Social media was filled with reactions as Swifties celebrated the big announcement with 'Style,' if you will! Fans have already received a glimpse into "1989 (Taylor's Version)" per the release of "Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)" and "This Love (Taylor's Version)." The latter song was used in the trailer for the Amazon Prime adaptation of "The Summer I Turned Pretty."
