"1989 (Taylor's Version)" is Taylor Swift's re-recording of her wildly successful 2014 pop album "1989". By re-recording her masters, Swift now fully owns the rights to this era of her music.

The original "1989" marked a major sonic and visual shift for Swift into full-fledged synthpop. Hits like "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", "Style" and "Bad Blood" dominated radio and helped make "1989" one of the best-selling albums of all time.

For the re-recording, Swift re-worked every song with her more matured vocals. While the production remains virtually identical to the original, Swift's voice adds extra depth and nuance to these signature pop anthems.

Videos for previous singles were re-filmed to accompany the re-release and gain control of these visuals now too. The "Anti-Hero" and "Bejeweled" videos were particularly celebrated.

Reviews praised Swift for managing to make the familiar songs feel fresh through subtle re-interpretations. Fans appreciated the opportunity to directly support the artist they love.

Commercially, "1989 (Taylor's Version)" was another massive success, debuting at #1 on the Billboard charts and gaining streams in the millions.

The re-recording cemented Swift's ownership of her work while allowing a new generation of listeners to discover this career-defining pop masterpiece on her terms.
