I mean, it would make sense given it's Valentine's Day and she's already teased it.
I'm quite curious to see the strategy for rolling out the re-releases. Will there be videos? Multiple versions (one that matches the original, another that modernizes it)? Radio pushes? Is she rolling out full albums one at a time? It'll be interesting.
Either way, poor Evermore/willow.

My guess is that they’re putting out “Love Story” now as a teaser/gift with a lyric video (and perhaps an appearance in a Netflix movie).
Then, the re-recordings for the first two albums are released somewhere in March-May?

I'm assuming this will be able to rechart?

I'm assuming this will be able to rechart? As an entirely new recording, I think it technically should chart as a new entry, buuuut there's a solid chance Billboard makes some kind of exception and will only chart her re-recorded songs that reach the Top 50 or Top 25.. |

I think it will probably be handled just like any other live or acoustic version and chart alongisde the original. Meaning it will probably chart on the recurrent chart unless it hits top 50 (or 25? I don't remember if LS has already crossed the 52 week mark)

Okay, I'm fully sold on this now. This is such a Taylor thing to do, there's no way it's not happening, right?

I don't remember if LS has already crossed the 52 week mark) LS spent 49 weeks on the Hot 100 (her third longest-charting song behind YBWM and SIO which both spent 50 weeks) so top 50 would be enough as opposed to 25! |

If you Shazam the “Love Story” snippet released late last year, it shows “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)”. It could be the new title (though it says it’s from 2008 so this might be an accident or something).

Imagine if this gets to have another chart run on pop and country radio. I would probably pass away.
Perched!!!

I kinda have a feeling "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" is going to be her first song in recent memory to be released at midnight local time but then again she loves her midnight EST releases.
EDIT: That was an idiotic statement. I realized that fans on Twitter would've gone insane if they'd heard it. Also I realized cause it's past midnight here and it's not out.

Wait, she's releasing the second album first? Or is this Fearless (Taylor's Version) both the self-titled and Fearless?

I found it a little weird but let's be honest, her debut is no one's favorite album (unless you really, really miss her country days), so this one makes more sense (and "Love Story" alone is more iconic than the entire first album, so it helps drive more attention to the re-recordings). |

I think she might have chosen to go with this one first because this is such a bold and “fearless” move. It makes a lot of sense to put this one out first, but I have no doubt she is still planning on releasing TS. |

I really like it! She doesn't deviate from the original but it sounds great with her modern vocals. I'm really looking forward to the entire project now.

Thank goodness they kept the fiddles! I think this might be the best possible result we could've gotten from a re-recording, staying true to the familiar aspects of the music with matured vocals.

As much as it might shock some people - "Love Story" was my favorite Taylor Swift song before folklore and evermore came out. The dreamy romanticism captured my attention, and I love the fiddles in it.
The re-recording loses the magic of the original. It feels like a karaoke mix with an adult Taylor singing over it. I get why she did it, and why she's scorching the earth when it comes to her original recordings, but despite being close to a carbon copy something just feels lost.

Comparing this version to the original, you can tell Taylor’s vocals have really improved over the years and I think I like this version more than the original. I’m now excited to hear the rest of her re-recordings. I’m sure the later albums (1989 and reputation) won’t sound too different since her vocals seemed to change by then.
