1989 (Taylor's Version): Tracklist, Vault Songs

"1989 (Taylor's Version)" is finally here. During the last stop of the first leg of the Eras Tour on Aug. 9, Taylor Swift announced that the next "Taylor's Version" — the rerecording of her seminal 2014 album — would arrive on Oct. 27, the ninth anniversary of the album's original release. Swift announced the news before playing "New Romantics" as the first surprise song during the show. She wrote on Instagram alongside the new album artwork, "Surprise!! '1989 (Taylor's Version)' is on its way to you 🔜! 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."

On Sept. 20, fans got some clarity about four of the five vault tracks off the album. A day earlier, Google released a new game that let fans solve up to 89 Swift-themed word scrambles, with solutions that harkened to "1989" songs and iconic Swift moments from the original album's release. After fans worldwide solved 33 million of these puzzles, it "unlocked" the vault, and Swift's voice read out the vault tracks, with one remaining a mystery. Later that same day, she tweeted the back covers of the album, revealing the name of the fifth song, whose title — "Slut!" — did raise our eyebrows. But there was one more surprise on album release day: a deluxe edition that includes a new version of the Kendrick Lamar-featuring "Bad Blood" remix. The award-winning rapper joined Swift for the original remix back in 2015.

Eagle-eyed Swifties thought the "Out of the Woods" singer was teasing the arrival of "1989 (Taylor's Version)" for literally months before it was officially announced. On July 7 — yes, the same day she released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" — Swift posted photos from a Fourth of July party on her Instagram. "Happy belated Independence Day from your local neighborhood independent girlies," she wrote in the caption. In the photos, Swift poses with some of her closest friends, including Selena Gomez, the Haim sisters, and Ashley Avignone. The shots also include a set of four Polaroids. During the original "1989" era, Swift was all about her "squad" of friends and she often posted photos — and Polaroids — from their hangouts. In fact, Swift revealed on Aug. 10 that the physical editions of "1989 (Taylor's Version)" would also have polaroids in them.

The original "1989" (named in honor of Swift's birth year) is considered the demarcation point in Swift's transformation from country star to pop powerhouse. It finished 2015 at No. 1 on the Year End Billboard 200 Albums chart and won album of the year at the 2016 Grammys. It was supported by seven singles, three of which — "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," and "Bad Blood" — went No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
