Taylor Swift is another step closer to reclaiming her music with the release of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” on Oct. 27.

When Swift first released the album back in 2014, the album was a breakthrough in her music. The country girl was taking her first step towards pop.

Not only reinventing herself through her music, but reinventing her look. Chopping her hair to give her iconic bob, sparkly skirts and outfits, finding a place in New York City, the beginning of 1989 was a new chapter in her life.

“1989 (Taylor’s Version)” gives the same upbeat tempo in some of her most memorable tracks.

With the re-recording process with any of Swift’s “Taylor’s Versions” you can hear just how much she has matured from the original to now.

While everyone should always be listening and supporting her re-recordings, we will never unhear some of the originals. With the release of any of her re-recordings comes great expectation.

Swift brings new style to every re-recording so they never sound the same as the original, but some of her most anticipated tracks did not live up to the hype.

“Style (Taylor’s Version)” was probably the track I was most disappointed to hear. Very monotone vocals make the song fall short of what it could have been. The thought of a stiffened Swift is what I see when I hear the re-recording. 

“New Romantics (Taylor’s Version)” sadly falls into my disappointed category. There was more that I wanted to hear from Swift and I think she just fell too short in parts where I wanted to hear more emotion.

Though “Style” and “New Romantics” may have not made their mark, some of her most overlooked tracks on the original are now better with the re-recording. 

Swift elevated “I Know Places” with her best vocals on this track. The power that she puts into her delivery clears the original by a landslide.

Also, hearing “Clean” re-recorded not only gives better vocals, but it gives so much more meaning to Swift stepping forward in her career. Being able to finally get the rights to her first six albums shows her moving forward and being able to put the people that did her wrong in the past.

Not even a day later, Swift released her deluxe version, which included “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” featuring Kendrick Lamar. The re-recording hit even harder than the original and to have Lamar come back to help Swift step forward in gaining the rights to the only feature on “1989” is legendary.

With every “Taylor’s Version” comes “From the Vault” songs that did not make the original. With “1989” having over 150 unreleased songs on it, Swift’s song choices show a dark time in her own life.

During the original “1989” era, Swift was constantly criticized for her looks and her relationships. Constantly being told she was too big, then told she was too skinny, “Slut!” and “Say Don’t Go” highlight those moments for her in trying times for her. 

All the headlines and comments made about her fuel the five vault tracks into what she endured during this time. “Is It Over Now?” describes Swift dealing with the rumors in the most heartbreaking chorus. Her true thoughts are put on display and at times hard to hear. 

“1989 (Taylor’s Version)” brings fans back to 2014 in the prime of Swift’s entrance to pop music. Expectations riding high on the re-recording may have not hit on some of the most anticipated songs, but it brings forward some of her most underrated tracks. 

While the vault tracks highlight one of the toughest times in her life, “1989” still brings back nostalgia and heartbreak experienced during this time by Swift in a style only she can do. She continues to show her versatility in her music and strength to continue what she does best.
