Taylor Swift has officially announced 1989 (Taylor’s Version). The re-recorded album will be out on October 27. The singer broke the news during her concert at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California on August 9 (aka 8/9) – eight years, nine months, and 13 days since the album’s original release.
“The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th,” Swift wrote on Twitter. “To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the five From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!”
1989 (Taylor’s Version) marks Swift’s fourth re-recorded album, following Red (Taylor’s Version), Fearless (Taylor’s Version), and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). With Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Swift set a new record for the most No. 1 albums for any female artist in history, surpassing previous record holder Barbra Streisand.
