"1989 (Taylor's Version)" happens to be the second rerecording Swifties will receive in 2023! The "Ours" singer released the rerecording of her 2010 LP "Speak Now" last month!
Since "Speak Now" and "1989" have joined "Fearless" and "Red" in the family of Swift's rerecorded titles, two albums are left to complete the collection: 2006's "Taylor Swift," and 2017's "Reputation."
Those Swifties who are hoping for "Reputation" to be the next TayTay album to receive the rerecorded treatment may need to wait a bit!
Swift's pal and frequent collaborator Ed Sheeran revealed the duo have yet to step into the studio to rerecord the album's second song, "End Game."
In a recent interview with Andy Cohen on his Sirius XM podcast "Deep & Shallow," the "Thinking Out Loud" singer also explained "1989 (Taylor's Version)" would be the next rerecord to be released. (per Billboard)
"1989 (Taylor's Version)" will be released on October 27th, exactly nine years from the date of the album's original release!
Fans will have until August 19th at 3 PM EST or until supplies last to buy the "Sunrise Boulevard" yellow edition vinyl!
