I actually like this remix. Bottom line: they will have to offer an alternative version for both radio and sales if they want it to go massive

On one hand, I want to see this single do well...but I'll be a little disappointed if they end up pushing a significantly different-sounding version.
I was really curious to see how well this could do in its original form. I thought they were taking a calculated risk (of sorts) with this choice, since the album's already a mega-success and an under-performing 5th single wouldn't exactly derail her red-hot career. Like people have said, this stands out not only from the other 1989 singles, but from a lot of pop radio in general right now, so I'd prefer if they didn't...water it down.

They really need to not fuck this up with a remix. It's perfect as it is. Why bother releasing it if it's going to be remixed?

I wouldn't be surprised if there is a radio edit that takes out a verse or two from it. The only thing I'm expecting at the moment.

I guess they're gonna wait until Bad Blood is out of the way before releasing this? I think the adds date is going to be in early september, along with video release. Can we have a VMA performance for this? Or maybe at least a video launch there?

Thought the radio is waiting for something. They were already playing Style and they waited for BB just for the remix. It's the label pushing a different version or just waiting for the adds date
Edit: also Australia is stanning, 30 hours of green updates

Meh. Overhyped. I don't understand the "this shows a different side of her" argument. Style showed a different side too...Out Of The Woods would have "shown a different side too." This is going to do decent, based on her name alone, but it was absolutely the wrong choice IMO. I don't see how some of you think this is #1 CHR material. This not only shows a different side of Taylor, it shows a different side of pop. This isn't your typical radio filler song, it's an immediate standout that has garnered tons of praise from many people since the album was released. It's not just different for her, it's different for most. There's a reason the only other artist being compared to this track is Lana Del Rey. It will standout, and it will grab everyone's attention in a way "Style" and "Out of the Woods" didn't/won't do. You are correct, however, that given her name, it will immediately give the song attention, but because the song is good, it will continue on to success, and hopefully allow for other artist and songs to become successful with this sound. In no way was this the wrong choice. On the contrary, this was the correct choice. "New Romantics" just doesn't stand out enough, especially after "Bad Blood," and "Out of the Woods" has already lost its spark. It'll make a good sixth and final single, but that's it. Any other track from the album is either bland radio filler (still good songs, but not necessarily songs that help the artist grow or grab a lot of attention, a la Maroon 5) or wouldn't work as singles. I mean, nothing on the radio sounds like Out Of The Woods either and it would be just as effective if not more. It's instant and catchy. This...isn't. It all comes down to preference. I don't even think HTGTG and AYHTDWS would make good single choices either. There's a reason Lana Del Rey hasn't scored a radio hit despite her strangely massive popularity except for the one single they gave a dance treatment to. Hoping for the best but I don't see how this is going to do anything other than to kill the momentum the album has been able to sustain thanks to the hit singles. Everyone always uses the "[insert name] needs to show a different side of themselves" argument but forgets about the radio favorability factor. You can show as many different sides as you want but they don't all fit on radio and that doesn't mean people are going to react positively to it. You can be different without completely sabotaging what could have been a great holiday selling season. But I guess when your record has sold 5 million copies, there's only so much you can do with it. I love WD as an album track and think it's an excellent song, I just personally don't think it's the right single at all and believe it'll get lost in the shuffle.

I'd prefer the original, but I can totally see why they would go with a remix. Do a re-release with two new songs, and snatch that Katy/MJ record. :'(

depends on how you word it. If you say "parent album", then MJ is tied with Katy. If you say "era", then Katy has it. So if Taylor re-releases and two more songs go #1 (grand total of 6), then her 1989 "era" would still only be tied with Katy's TD "era".

She honestly wouldn't even need to do a re-release. She has more than enough hits on the album as it is already.

Well, can be start talking what would you remix for this song? A rapper? A new beat? New verses?

I want them to release the original to radio, with a great video.
Then they can release an official remix package (with maybe one by Calvin) for clubs and radio (if they want) and they can release an edited version of the music video too.
