Taylor Swift set to unveil reissue of her 1989 album

Taylor Swift continues to re-record her first albums. This time, it's 1989's turn to get a makeover. It was during her last concert in Los Angeles, Wednesday evening, that the singer announced the news. 1989 (Taylor's Version) will be available from October 27, nine years after its initial release. It will feature 21 songs in total: those from the standard version, the bonus tracks from the deluxe version and five previously unreleased tracks. “To be perfectly honest, this is my favorite re-recording because all five tracks are amazing. I can't believe they were left out,” the singer said on Instagram a few hours after the concert. The public is already snapping up the first copies available for pre-order.

In 2019, Scooter Braun bought the Big Machine Records label for $300 million, reports trade magazine Variety. And takes control over the future of recorded songs. Dissatisfied, Taylor Swift embarks on the reissue of her first big hits. The goal ? Regain control over the exploitation rights of his music after their acquisition, without his agreement, by Scooter Braun. At the time, in a long message posted on Twitter, she expressed her anger, urging her fans to “let Scooter Braun and Scott Borschetta know what they think”. The singer, no longer having any rights to her own music, is forced to re-record all her albums produced in her old record company. The albums Fearless, Red and Speak Now have already had the right to a refurbishment.

When it was released in 2014, 1989 met with phenomenal commercial success. Rewarded by a Grammy Awards in 2016, the album has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, including 100,000 in France. Among the album's best-known tracks is Shake It Off, the singer's second single to top the Billboard Hot 100. "The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways," says Taylor on Instagram.

Since last March, the singer has embarked on a world tour called The Eras Tour. She will be at La Défense Arena in Paris on May 9, 10, 11 and 12, 2024 to unveil four exceptional shows.
