[austin]

Despite the Swiftie army best effort, have to feel we are 24 hours from a leak.

Can you post the playlist? I don't have Spotify and can't see it.

Here you go.

YESSSS thanks and OMG at Dermot Kennedy and Lykke Li. The TASTE.

LORD KNOWS dreams are hard to follow I hate short songs, but if they are good, I will have to deal. I can't believe we are getting the Lover music video/engagement announcement tomorrow!

SN: I know that the album is up for pre-order, so why isn't it on the iTunes chart? I don't really follow iTunes rules and chart rules like that, so maybe someone could help me out?

Hahahah easy listening!

Sucks. I liked the line. People need to stop being bent out of shape over whimsical lyrics.

[Ivy Leegue™]

Weird. When I play it on iTunes, I still hear it.

Maybe they should have used it for a Kid bopz remix.
Even then kids are pretty smart. They probably would of felt how condescending those lyrics sound...
Everything about that part of the song is just not cute.

I like the rest of the song though.

iTunes stopped pre-orders from clogging up the main charts years ago. There’s now a separate Pre-Orders section that doesn’t rank them officially but does list available pre-orders based on their current popularity.

Lover is currently second on the list behind the new TOOL album.

It's only the album version, not the single version if you bought it.

If you preview the song on the album, its gone.

Never bought it. Just played it on Apple Music straight from the album. Maybe there is a delay.

Edit: Maybe it's only gone from the Canadian iTunes version for now? Still showing up when I play it on Apple Music in the album. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No timeline on this, but she will be re-recording her entire catalog following the masters debacle w/ Scooter/Scott.

It’s gone from the Irish iTunes album version I’m re-buying it just to get rid of it. I still love the song

Her level of petty is amazing and is something to which I aspire. I mean, I already go back and delete comments, reaction emojis, or tags I am in when I am no longer friends with someone, so Taylor is my spirit animal.

[tsr]

omg I'm DYING at the thought of a remastered "Cold as You."

THIS BI- 

I love her

[Taylor.]

Curious how her rerecorded country songs will sound. I'm guessing she isn't going to break the accent out again, lol.

I hope she bring it out for Our Song tbh, the accent is half the fun on that one, I sing along to it in a country accent too even though I'm Canadian.

I am excited to have re-recordings of the first two records now that her vocals have matured.

I stan a petty queen.

Taylor Swift says she plans to re-record her early songs, but here’s why she can’t

Taylor Swift says she plans to re-record her earlier songs in an attempt to get around Scooter Braun’s acquisition of her masters.

“Might you do that?” Tracy Smith asked Swift, 29, in their forthcoming interview for “CBS Sunday Morning.”

“Oh yeah,” Swift says.

“That’s a plan?” Smith, 53, asks.

“Yeah, absolutely,” Swift says.

But Page Six has exclusively learned that it would be “impossible” for Swift to do so because her contract prevents the bold move.

“She can’t re-record because she’s not contractually allowed to do so,” a music industry expert with knowledge of the deal told us on Wednesday. “The only thing she could be allowed to do is…re-do the lyrics, but contractually she can’t. Even if she could, no one would want old songs with new lyrics.”

The expert explained to us that following Prince’s move to re-record his masters as The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, most record labels put these safeguards into place to prevent other artists from doing the same.

Of course, Swift isn’t the first artist not to own her masters. In fact, it’s common practice by record labels as they feel they’re taking a risk in investing in new talent. The payoff is that should the artist become successful a la Swift, the label owns the masters.

“This kind of deal is neither unusual or controversial,” media mogul David Geffen told the New York Times after news of Braun’s acquisition broke. “She didn’t want to put up $300 million. Someone else did. They offered her a deal that she rejected to get ownership of her masters. Only time will tell who made the wise decision.”

A separate source also told us that Swift still “refuses to engage” with Braun and his team after his group acquired Big Machine Records. In a fiery Tumblr post, Swift claimed that she was unaware of the deal, but former Big Machine Records owner Scott Borchetta published correspondence between him and Swift that appeared to prove otherwise.

Our source also told us that Swift’s attorneys and her father’s attorneys wrote a letter asking for more time to review the deal before it was finalized, which highlights that they were aware despite claiming she was in the dark.

However, another industry source tells us Swift will, in fact, be able to re-record her earlier songs.

While Swifties anxiously wait to see what happens next, they’ll at least have her new album, “Lover,” to hold them over.

A rep for Swift did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

[Taylor.]

So... one "source" said she can't and another says she can?

[#brayden]

Interesting. I don't think she'd announce plans to re-record her first six albums before knowing whether or not she actually could, though.

[born]

After all, this is Taylor Swift we're talking about.

Anyways, some alleged credits have popped up online and they include St. Vincent & Sounwave. I'm perched.

[Mayman]

Okay before they do that can they please reorganize her discography on Spotify/Apple Music? She has 3-4 versions of each of her albums and it literally annoys me so much.

I was just thinking how fun it would be if she re-released select songs (ideally songs that still get played like "You Belong w Me" or "Mine") with other artists!! "Bad Blood" ft. Katy Perry would be where its attttt

[Choco]

I honestly have very little interest in re recordings; especially anything post-Red. She's so petty lol. But hey that's one of the reasons why I like her.

If she is able to purchase the licensing she will be able to re-record the music with no problem. It's the loophole JoJo used to re-release her first two albums earlier this year since Blackground owns the publishing rights.

[kmbgs]

I've been calling for pop versions of her older material forever, so if that's something she is interested in doing I am fully available for that
