So youre now saying "i told you" when you tried to disprove it. Alright.

 

 

theres the video

 

Jesus you’re so annoying - I was saying Gracie’s photographer wouldn’t know anything because Gracie isn’t playing tonight. If you scroll up I said many times I believe 1989 was coming?

Looking forward to her version of Wildest Dreams the most I think. Great song, that will be made even better when ‘cleaned up’. Looking forward to hearing Clean too!

[Pastor.Of.Muppets]

We already got TV of Wildest Dreams and This Love in 2022, no?

As a casual observer, what's the deal with the Taylor's Versions? I know she is re-recording albums and the reasons behind it but is it a straight re-record or does she change arrangements etc.?

[CaledonianGonzo]

They're pretty identikit to the untrained ear - but they come with a variety of additional Vault tracks i.e. out-takes to sweeten the deal for the folk on the fence.

I've bought one for an album I didn't already own (Speak Now), but haven't bought the others

There are tweaks to the mixing and the occasional string section added but not much changes

Another new album for me! Hope we get Reputation before the European tour too.

Would've, Could've, Should've is the best song from Midnights, would love Maroon as well though.

Did last night win the battle of the surprise songs? New Romantics and New Year's Day is about as good as you're gonna get IMO. Absolute banger and one of her best ballads 😎

Pretty buzzing for this re-recording, mainly for the vault tracks. There's been some gems so far, but by and large it's been OK and what you'd expect. The 1989 vault tracks could be where it gets really interesting.

I’m most excited for the cardigan this time, partner bought the purple Speak Now one so I need a light blue 1989 one to match

Ta. A few small acts I follow have done this and the end product never seems to be an improvement on the original. Perhaps if you were coming at it for the first time you may feel different but when they're albums you know and love, I've probably learned to love the flaws in the original.

Night three in LA won the whole tour.. Death by A Thousand Cuts and You’re On Your Own Kid.. oof.. last night definitely in the running for second place though 

The selection of songs she never played on the US leg takes in a whole range, from baffling (Epiphany) to understandable (Bigger Than The Whole Sky and London Boy). Absolutely brutal but fair that she never did Me! or End Game hahaha.

Def Leppard did it didn't they?

As a kid shops like Woolies were full of cheap tapes of re-recorded soul and disco classics - sometimes sunglasses by the original artists, sometimes not.

I actually don't mind ME! but the way she's absolutely murdered it is pretty hilarious. Endgame can get in the bin, although I did wake up a cold sweat last night thinking Ed might make an unwelcome appearance at the UK shows 😰

Now we've seen the full gamut of surprise songs, my choice for next summer would be New Romantics and You're On Your Own Kid. Holy Ground and New Year's Day would be my #2.

State of Grace and The Lakes personally but I’d take pretty much anything she’s played so far except Everything Has Changed or I Almost Do tbf

Great shout. Quite surprised State of Grace didn't actually make it in to the main set, even as a shortened version to open the Red portion similar to Style.

I’m hoping The Lakes will make an appearance on one of the Anfield dates with it being the closest she’s likely ever going to ever play to ‘those Windermere peaks’.

Cannot wait for this! Already breaking records, sold 200k copies in 5 hours😮

For an album that’s basically already been released for almost a decade (bar a few new songs). She really is a phenomenon, possibly to the likes that have never been seen.

It is absolutely wild! But I am here for it, certainly won't be the first record it breaks - this is gonna be HUGE.

I mean either that or she trots out a cover of YNWA to make Evertonian and Manc heads fall off 

[ls2408]

Ordered the CDs on the basis that they may actually be limited, waiting to see if she comes out with any vinyl variants before I commit. Would love to see a Rose Garden or Aquamarine vinyl

I genuinely worry about this (as a United fan) after seeing this happen at the Elton John gig there last year *shudders*

[CaledonianGonzo]

Nuts that the wax is a good fiver cheaper than Speak Now not 2 months back.

2 variants already sold out.
