Taylor Swift made a big announcement on Good morning America this past week. She’s going to be re-recording her old songs and even released “Love Story” (Taylor’s version) already.
If the rest of her re-recordings are like this new release of “Love Story,” it takes the genre of music that it was originally sung in and just tweaks it to sound a little bit more like modern Taylor does. And you could say I’m in love.
It’s going to be nice to be able to listen to the songs with the experience I have now. As a kid, I liked the songs, but I feel like now, as an “adult,” I will appreciate the message more.
Taylor announced on GMA that she has already recorded her version of her album “Fearless.” She said it will be out “soon,” and it will have 26 songs on it — all the original songs from the album plus some from the vault that almost made the first album but didn’t.
Swift surprised us with two albums last year and now with this. I speculate that she will re-record all of her past albums throughout the next couple years.
The surprise has gotten a lot of fans excited to relive the messages in the songs 13 years later.
Taylor didn’t announce the release date on GMA, but in a statement released by Taylor Nation about the re-recordings, fans noticed that it was all in lower case but had random capital letters throughout. And if you take those and put them in order, it spells out April 9.
Fans speculate that is when the whole album will be released, but that hasn’t been confirmed yet.
What gets me most excited for this album is that I’ve always liked Taylor Swift, but I especially like her new sound.
And with this new release of “Love Story,” she adds a bit of her new sound with the country sound, and it’s just magnificent. I can’t wait to see what else she comes up with.
