Hey guys!!! I’ve been seeing some false tweets about why our queen is re-recording, so I made a thread about it!!! Read below for more!! #TaylorsVersion ts
8:10 AM · February 21, 2021
↪Meredith the cat fanpage @whereismeredith:
The re-records are Taylor’s attempt to gain ownership of her own masters, and take back control of her music after ending her contract with former label Big Machine Records. Currently, she only owns Lover, Folklore, and Evermore, but doesn’t hold the rights to the rest, This was also an issue when she had to fight to sing her own songs for her 2019 AMA Performance (1/4)
8:12 AM · February 21, 2021
↪Meredith the cat fanpage @whereismeredith:
Her masters at the time of her departure were sold by Scooter Braun, her ex-manager, to Scott Borchetta who Taylor publicly pleaded for her music not to go to considering their bad relationship, and his general mistreatment of Taylor. The re-records would mean that we would no longer need to support Braun to listen to Taylor’s music. (2/4)
8:13 AM · February 21, 2021
↪Meredith the cat fanpage @whereismeredith:
This is also a big step in the industry for artists fighting back to reclaim their works against agencies, and Taylor’s success will create a precedent to allow other artists to do the same. In the past, other big musician’s like Prince have attempted to do re-recordings, but no one has yet to have the successful backing of their fans to do so (3/4)
8:14 AM · February 21, 2021
↪Meredith the cat fanpage @whereismeredith:
To summarise, this is not a cash-grab or publicity stunt, it’s a fight for Taylor to reclaim her music along with a gateway for other artists to do the same. Think about it guys, what would we do if Taylor could only perform her latest for three albums, imagine never hearing You Belong With Me live again! (4/4)

Taylor Swift ✔ @taylorswift13:
Me in 2020: life is chill, writing songs based in fiction to avoid drama, feeling pretty grown up My 2008 music from the vault, in a goblin voice: “REELEEEEEEASE MR PERFECTLY FIIIIIIINE”

↪ Larry Stylinson 4 Life @onedirectioner_:
Wait, I’m confused, what is THE VAULT??????
7:43 AM · April 7, 2021
↪ certified swiftie @taylorismymom:
To answer, “The Vault” consists of songs that Taylor recorded but sadly never released. For this album, the songs were previously recorded in 2008 when Taylor originally recorded Fearless, but never made it on the actual tracklist of the album. On Fearless #TaylorsVersion ts, she’s now releasing them to the world!!!

It was a crime that Mr. Perfectly Fine was not on the original album.

Important PSA: there are supposed to be Vault Songs for each of the albums, and if I don’t get the 10 minute explicit version of All Too Well, I will start a riot

OMG guys!!!! Based on the three gasps Taylor does in Mr. Perfectly Fine at time stamps 1:32, 2:01, and 3:14, that means the third album of the trilogy is next.. Can’t wait for Woodvale!!!

Congratulations Taylor!!! We are so proud of you, and all you have accomplished with Fearless #TaylorsVersion. In case anyone has missed it, here are just some of the records Taylor has surpassed with this album! (1/3)
8:13 AM · April 16, 2021
↪ Don’t Blame Me @Love_Made_Me_Crazy:
1. Second-Most No. 1 Albums Among Women: Taylor ties Madonna for most No. 1 albums for woman at 9. They both fall just behind Barbara Streisand 11!
2. Largest Debut Streaming Week For A Country Album By A Woman: Fearless (Taylor’s Version) sets the record for the largest streaming week for a country album by a female artist, beating the last record holder, Marren Morris with 24 million streams, nearly six times over! (2/3)

4. First Woman With Three No. 1 Albums In Less Than A Year: Taylor has become the first woman to hit No. 1 with three albums within 12 months. Other acts may have done it before, but she is the first female to do it alone. (2/3)

1989 #TaylorsVersion ts except it’s just about Harry Styles’ despicable driving skills.
