1989 (Taylor's Version)

Um, she was doing all this stuff with country radio, and, um, it just makes sense to...

She wants to release at some point Taylor's version of Debut, and it's the 20th anniversary this fall.

Mm-hmm.

So it just makes sense to me that she would go in that direction.

Yeah

... any of those.

Or, um, I love the 1989 bonus song, or, like, the Taylor's Version song.

Like, there's so many, she has so many good-

She'd had this... years-long quest to own her music after it was sold from her first label to someone else.

And that's how we came to the Taylor's version projects.

She re-recorded her albums so that... she could own them because she could not own her masters at the time.

They were sold to someone else, and she didn't have an option to buy them at the time.

Well, last year, all of that changed.

She had at that point already released four out of the six albums as Taylor's versions, and there were two more left to release.

But at the time that she bought her masters back, she had not released those other two.

So the ones that she'd already re-released were Fearless, Red...

Did you find that the like re-releases, like her re-recordings and her owning her old music kind of helped with listening to some of her old stuff too? Because I think I was the same way.

I listened to the radio hits, but then once Taylor's version started coming out and one, once I realized what it meant to her to be reclaiming her music and kind of owning her material.

Totally, I wanted to stream those

versions.

Yeah.

Because again, like I listened to the radio hits, I knew the songs, I knew some of the ones that weren't even radio hits.

But then I got to listen front to back with Taylor's versions.

And that was like a completely different experience for me.

We heard, we saw the colored guitar picks.

There was a sticky note that read, "Is it TV?" Now, TV, obviously it's the Emmys, TV is TV, but also TV in Taylor Swift's world stands for Taylor's Version.

Yes.

And we've got the two outstanding albums that have not had their re-releases, so Debut and Reputation.

Elementary.

And then there's also speculation, like, based on this that two Taylors Versions are in here, two albums.

'Cause it said to TV.

TV could be the television 'cause it was the Emmys, or it could be Taylor's Version.
