In three hours, Taylor Swift will own 80% of her albums with just her name and reputation to go. Maybe I'm a puddle on the floor 🥺 Artists deserve to own the art they make and I just want to reiterate how fucking brave I think this whole project is. It could be sadness and anger but instead it's pride and joy and grace and fun and I think there's SO much the world can learn from the example she's set these last few years.

TAYLOR’S VERSION (THE DOCUMENTARY) CONCEPT — A revealing look into the cathartic journey of the re-recordings process, as Taylor Swift revisits her past work and everything it stands for. Alongside commentary from the many collaborators, writers, and producers she’s worked with throughout her career, Taylor Swift explores the magic behind her most prized possessions — Her songwriting. Her music. Her voice.

the way/tone that new fans are saying that the re-recording process makes her old work “good” just reeks of the same tired sexism and belittling of girls’ art, repackaged as pseudo-intellectual criticism that isn’t capable of understanding art beyond it being “good or bad.” While there is certainly a place for discussing the real changes in recording technology available, and how a human voice changes between the ages of 15 and 33, none of that logically means that the originals were bad!! Maybe you prefer listening to the re-records for those reasons (I do!), but that’s a very different statement! The claim that her old work is “worse” is disrespectful, ahistorical, and does an enormous disservice to the exact thing that makes Taylor special- she was mind bogglingly talented. To reduce the art down to old = bad, means their claim rests on the unspoken assumption that the music is good now because she’s older, mature, reasonable, level-headed, flawless, and cool. Which not only misses the entire point of embarking on the re-record project, but it also delegitimizes her accomplishments in the first place. Her early albums weren’t just “good, for a girl.” They weren’t just “good, for 2009.” They were good period, and they were good while being unapologetically emotional and dare I say; immature!!! Her art literally forced an entire genre to reckon with the seriousness of a girl’s inner world. She succeeded because she gave voice to a huge group of people who had been left out of songwriting, and if she hadn’t done it well, she would not have been successful. So this surface level criticism is the worst possible insult- it objectifies Taylor’s art and it conflates her popularity (and age!) with her skill. It’s shameful.

Her nails are blue and black while she’s holding the clock which reads 11:59. So 1989 and rep (and possibly debut) tv are gonna drop right before we meet the real Taylor at midnight??

Article on the impact of Taylor's re-recordings and challenging of industry norms. It includes examples of artists getting more control, but also mentions the changes that are being made to recording contracts to increase the window before re-recording is allowed. There are many examples of artist approaches, but one thing I didn't see mentioned was the number of artists selling the rights to their music. Perhaps that's just because it tends to be more established acts doing it and it doesn't involve re-recording, but I thought it an interesting omission.
The article also points out that Taylor's success in generating high sales with the re-recordings is an anomaly, or a "Taylor-specific problem" for labels. However, the increased knowledge about industry norms for both fans and potential artists is what can have a bigger influence on their approach.

TS11 is next and heres why.
She's due for a new album not in the sense that I think it would be normal for her to put out a new album right now or that we "deserve it" or whatever other shit people say but because it follows the pattern shes set previously with the re-recordings. It went folklore/evermore, Fearless, Red, Midnights, meaning she did two re-recordings between each brand new album and TS11 would be next in the pattern.
Re-recording fatigue This one kind of goes with number one but while people are very interested in her right now I don't think that same level of interest will continue if she just keeps putting out re-recordings and she seems to have found a really good balance with the 2 re-recordings to 1 new album ratio.
The TS store clear out I have been around for quite a while and whenever taylor would put stuff in her store on crazy sale and bring back stuff that had been gone for quite a while it usually meant that a new album was coming and they were making room for the new albums merchendise. I preticularly remember this happening around Christmas of 2015 during the 13 days of taylor sale (RIP). People were getting up to 3 free tee shirts with the smallest of purchases and various podcasts and other swiftie influencer were given codes so you could get free towels and totes. The store was fairly empty for a little while but it was quickly replaced with 1989 merchandise as soon as it was released.
Studio time We all know taylor has been spending a TON of time in the studio recently and you could argue that she's just working on re-recordings which could be true but i think its important to note.
You're losing me on streaming To me you're losing me being put on streaming was kind of her tying up loose ends and wrapping up the midnights era. She did a similar thing with lover putting out the lover live in paris live album just before Folklore came out and putting Folklore lps right before she put out Evermore.
I completely welcome being 100% wrong but just putting thoughts out there.

The most obvious of the reasons why I find the idea of Taylor's Version of Reputation so exciting is that I think this album is severely cool and it's one of my absolute favourites. But I've still got a few more things to say about this particular album.
First things first, I feel like Reputation is quite an important and personal record for Taylor, because while writing it she was going through a lot and had learnt many things along the way.
And the fact of the poems' existence provides ground for assuming that there were other things Taylor didn't say on the album itself. And I can't help wondering if the reason why she could had left those things unsaid might had been BM; there could be something she initially wanted to be on the album that just didn't get approved. This may be true for all of the earlier eras, but I think it works especially well for Rep, since she wrote it during such trying times and there was a bigger between-albums gap than usual. Of course, the reason why she didn't releace those potentially existing songs can be that she personally wanted to keep them to herself, in that case, no pressure intended.
So, I mainly see Reputation as Taylor's COMBACK album: it's about falling apart and getting herself back together, about finding true love after feeling unlovable for a long while, about allowing herself to be dramatic just because she's feeling like it, about climbing back on the pedestal she was pushed down from and proving wrong all those who thought she was done. And that's exactly what the whole process of Taylor reclaiming her music feels like to me.

have we talked about the possibility of a Speak Now TV release around New Year's? I know we were thinking the clock countdown meant 12/2, but what if the clue was just a clock counting down to midnight... which is what we do on New Year's Eve?

I’m so intrigued by what Taylor’s re-recording process is. Does she pick one album and work only on that one or does she bounce around albums as she pleases? Does she start with the vault tracks first or save them for last? How does she choose her new collaborators for the tracks? How does she decide the release order for the albums? Does she have a list of songs that she wanted to make singles and do music videos for at the time but didn’t and is doing it now? The whole process is just endlessly fascinating to me.

Taylor Swift once said that Karma is real. She also said Woodvale is NOT real...but only Time(less) will tell. This week, Audrey and Laura do a deep dive on all the T-Swift lost album theories.
