On October 27, Taylor Swift will release a new version of 1989 – the biggest-selling album of her career, and the one that turned her into a pop star.
Featuring hits like Shake It Off, Blank Space and Style, it was originally written during the 2013-14 Red Tour, with demos stored on her phone in a folder named “Sailor Twips”.
Awarded a Grammy for album of the year, it has spent 325 weeks in the UK charts.
But now she has re-recorded it, as the latest part of an ongoing campaign to regain control of her work, after an investment company bought her master tapes in 2019.
