changing the cover to this the second it drops

hating on the cover for having text, meanwhile I hate on the Fearless/Speak Now covers for being textless

Yes!!!! I just woke up to this 

Love the new cover, but not a super big fan of the CD variants…

[GeminiLanaFan 45,833]

Im honestly fine with « only 5 vault tracks ». I prefer 5 solid tracks to, say 12 that aren’t equally good. Truth be told, I am not a die-hard Swiftie like many of you here are ( I really like her though, dont get me wrong, she is incredibly talented and works tirelessly) but most of her albums are, to me, a bit bloated : even Red, which is my fave album from her and my fave TV, didn’t necessarily need all of those tracks. But it’s simply the « casual Swiftie » in me speaking, I guess

Idk how to feel about the cover when I first saw it I thought it was fan-made, while I love the "mysteriousness" of the og cover where she didn't show her eyes and only showed her red lips + seagull sweatshirt and also the cover was a real polaroid.

 

This one feels kinda cheap, but it kinda makes my heart also warm - she's smiling for the first time on her album covers (her Lust For Life era ), like she looks geniunely happy, I also love the seagulls and the white tank top (or bra) she's wearing there, reminds me of her 2014 Rolling Stones photoshoot. It's like she's reclaiming everything she had. I was hesitated about the text being there but I really can't imagine it being textless either with this cover. A Swiftie said in an Instagram comment that her putting the text titles on the cover means that 1989 was her first record which marked a new shift in her career - her new pop record - that putting the text cover symbolizes the shift of her career. The album cover is definitely better than the cover arts for Wildest Dreams and This Love - they were too glossy and too fashion magazine-y. 

 

I honestly can't imagine a better album cover for this. Although, I miss the original one very much. But I'm so fucking excited for this, I screamed when I saw all the announcements in Insta. Those blue dresses were beautiful too which she was wearing in that show. Definitely a beautiful way to put an end to the first US tour leg! Now I'm kinda scared for the production since she's working with Shellback only. But I hope Jack's still working with her for their tracks and we know that Imogen Heap was with her when she re-recorded Clean in 2022. And I'm kinda sad that we got only 5 The Vault Tracks for the album, because we know that she wrote 150 songs for the album which means that we have 150 - 26 = 124 songs left in the vaults. One of the vault tracks is maybe the Bad Blood remix featuring Kendrick Lamar? Swifties also speculated that one of the tracks is Style remix ft Harry Styles. I really hope not since Taylor said that the vault tracks are never heard before.

 

Nevertheless, I'm FUCKING EXCITED!!!!!!!  it's so poetic that she's releasing the album on the exact 9th anniversary of the original album. Sad for Speak Now era because it was so short haha. But I can't wait for 1989 TV era music videos!!!!!

it probably exists on the album (iirc Kendrick was at a studio party held by Taylor a while back) but it wouldn't count as a vault track; it'd be a regular bonus track in the vein of Ronan, Eyes Open, Safe & Sound, Today Was a Fairytale

It was probably said in one of the interviews

[bluechemtrails 22,996]

don't understand the hype, it's just the re-recording of four or five interesting songs at most, and I doubt she'll add much more to them

I ordered the pink cd, the cover is kind of ugly but I also like it. I hope we get a Lana feature on a wildest dreams-eque track. I also would like a Lorde feature (but maybe she will save that for Rep tv?)

 

Where do you see the cover pics please? On her site I saw them only hiding behind the paper sleeve bonus CDs. 

[CHATEAU MARMONT 934]

nice cover ... 

[wilting daisy 3,393]

who do we think are gonna be features on some of the vault tracks?

[Deadly Nightshade 12,061]

I think that i prefer the original cover   it has a vintage feel that's missing from the new one

really excited for the vault tracks tho

what the fuck actually is the drama between taylor and karlie kloss ? i know there's some weird people that think they dated but idk anything beyond that

[TrashMagiq 55,345]

The cover’s giving coverlandia

[venicebitch 13,344]

She’s immune to making a good album cover for her rerecordings, fearless being the only exception

Yeah same. I don’t mean this in a mean way at all, but I feel like she often throws in songs that feel kind of meh compared to the other songs, or feels like filler songs.

I actually like the new cover, I was a bit sceptic at first, but it captures the vibe. However it would have been cool if she had kept it a Polaroid, but with that picture instead. However I do think it’s still supposed to be a picture right? Just not a Polaroid. Also the Taylor’s version text kind of bothers me

[Veinsineon 70,663]

1989 is such a shit album with very few songs that are non commercial & uncorny. I am seated for Reputation TV and that’s about it. I hope there are vault tracks on that one!

[Aeryx 2,301]

There’s people just dying for a remix of Style featuring Harry Styles
