Taylor Swift is hard at work again on her fourth rerecorded album: "1989 (Taylor's Version)." During the last stop of the first leg of the Eras Tour on Aug. 9, Swift confirmed fan suspicions that the album, originally released in 2014, was next on her roster. "1989 (Taylor's Version)" is scheduled to drop on Oct. 27, the ninth anniversary of the album's original release.
"Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor's Version) is on its way to you [soon]!" Swift captioned her album announcement on Instagram. "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. To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I've ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can't believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor's Version) on my site."
The original "1989" album is viewed by many fans as Swift's official transition from country star to pop star, making it a highly-anticipated album among Swifties. So far, Swift has released "Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)" and "This Love (Taylor's Version)." To date, she has also recorded the albums "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," "Red (Taylor's Version)," and "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."
While "1989 (Taylor's Version)" is still a ways away, we have no doubt the wait will be worth it.
