DeuxMoi insider says sheβs dropping Love Story and announcing the release of 26 more re-recordings (greatest hits?). Guess weβll see shortly how accurate that is. I've always said it made the most sense for her to curate a selection of songs instead of re-recording whole albums, especially her debut, so I will be very happy if it is a "greatest" collection. I'm excited for the announcement regardless! Or maybe the 26 songs are just Self-Titled and Fearless. Or Self-Titled + Christmas EP + Beautiful Eyes EP + Crazier + a few unreleased songs.

Here's my theory: The 26 songs are singles from each album she was able to re-record (debut-1989) and she will release the full albums later on, one by one. She's going to announce this and at midnight on 2/12 she will release them...with a MV for "Love Story."
I have seen some things that suggest the overarching title of this re-recording project is "Taylor's Version," so we'll see if that rings true. Nevertheless, I'm very excited for the announcement and won't be going to bed lol.

I'm excited for the announcement regardless! Yeah, Iβm not really interested in her albums beyond the ones I already own and if I didnβt get them before, I doubt I would now. But if she were to put together a collection of some of her hits, singles and other favourites from the first 4 or so albums (or whatever sheβs permitted to redo at this point), Iβd be into that (and hope for a vinyl release).

Nah, sheβs doing the full albums. She isnβt a singles artist and she still sells a ton of her oldest albums. Plus she cares about her catalog and the fans do too. Sheβs gonna re-release all of her albums with some bonus tracks.
Regarding the 26 song announcement, I donβt buy it yet but it could be the first two albums or something. I really hope they go chronologically cause it makes sense that way.

She has about 26 singles from her first 5 albums and it makes perfect sense to release them first as a greatest hits collection. It will garner more intrest from the general public.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

It would make sense for her to announce more than just Love Story's re-release on the show. There has to be more to it so the extra 26 songs sounds more like it.

The capital letters spell April Ninth, so I'm guessing that's the release date?

I love that she's taking her time and giving the re-recordings an era. It wouldn't feel right to get an entire album tonight. Amazing.

I feel like her debut will finally peak number 1 soon (as it deserves).

I wonder how much time there will be between re-release albums? Iβm guessing this means folklore/evermore era is more or less done. Weβll probably see a quick succession of five or six album eras with a few months each from her over the next two years.

Isn't she saying "Fearless with 26 songs. 6 will be unreleased tracks. 1 will be Love Story, coming tonight." Yep, confirmed. It's the original 13 Fearless songs + the original 6 bonus tracks + Today Was A Fairytale + 6 unreleased songs

I AM NOT OKAY!!!
The first lyric of "Love Story" is We were both young when I first saw you.
Taylor was 18 and I was 8 when the Fearless era began. This album, while admittedly not one of my absolute favorites over the years, is steeped in nostalgia and my childhood. There is something so special about getting to revisit such a happy, innocent, carefree moment in time. I've always thought to myself about how I'd like to be a kid again--some of that is because of adult hindsight and lessons learned that everyone wishes we could tell our young selves, but anyways--and I'm so excited and happy and just completely overjoyed that I get to do that through this release of Fearless: Taylor's Version. I'm also happy for all the young Swifties who didn't get this era, because they were too young to discover music on their own or maybe weren't even born. Now they get to have that. They get to experience the magic, while we get to relive it and remember it. There is something so powerful about that. I'm so excited for tonight, and I can't wait for April 9 to hear the magic of these six new songs!!!!

Maybe the album is only coming April 9th because it's hard to get vinyls pressed in short order?

I can't believe Fearless re-release is getting a longer rollout than her last two real albums lol

I'm surprised the full thing isn't coming out tomorrow or next week or something. Maybe she doesn't want to kill evermore/"willow" with the new tracks? I'm confused at this rollout schedule, not gonna lie. Love the new cover art, though!
I hope the re-recordings are not too loyal to the originals, otherwise it'll be a one-time listen from me. Haven't felt the need to listen to Fearless in full in quite some time.

For those of us with personal charts that date back to the original Love Story, will you be charting the new version and if so, will you count it as a separate entry or continuing from its original run? (If you charted it then)

Fearless was always my favorite album by her, so I'm happy it's first. I never did get the Deluxe back then. I already owned the previous version, but now I'm glad I never did because this is a much better excuse to double dip.

Random thought: the first time I saw the new cover I immediately thought that it looks like it could be part of a box set (you know, some films or books that get new single colored covers for a box set release).
So Iβm thinking, maybe all of the album covers will look like this (a new picture of Taylor with the albumβs color) and maybe theyβre gonna put out bundles or box sets after theyβre all out. Itβd be cool (though most of the fans will have bought the individual copies by then so I guess itβs just an idea).

I'm a fan of the idea and can see it happening, since all her albums have a distinct color. heck, one of them is even named after the color.

While it is great that Taylor announced the re-recordings albums to start coming out with Fearless,I don't think Taylor will leave Evermore behind so fast,Taylor has one movie left in her Disney Plus Contract and it could be for a Long Pond Sessions for Evermore and that could be released sometime this year.The Folklore Long Pond Sessions got good reception and having Evermore be an followup would be great.

Either that, or (and this wouldn't surprise me and would be quite interesting--I'd watch if I had Disney+) a documentary going in-depth into the making of the remastered Fearless and all the meticulous work they did to make it as close to the original as they could (since that's the point of these--to not only get the ownership back into her hands but also devalue the originals by making vivid replicas). evermore: the long pond studio sessions would surprise me a bit because it was September 2020 when they filmed folklore's edition, and not every song was recorded by then--she'd only started writing/recording evermore in July.
