#taylor swift 1989 bonus tracks

[nothinggold13]

As I am raving about TTPD, allow me to also reiterate the following:

Offering 4 different versions of the album with a single different bonus track on each was greedy and shady as heck, especially with how they were marketed as limited and exclusive editions. But then to jump out and go, “Surprise! You still don’t have all the songs!” is a whole other level of cruel.

Every song should be equally available on streaming AND physical media. Justice for the banished-to-streaming tracks (If This Was A Movie, Safe And Sound, etc…) as well as the ones that are still only available on one singular version of the physical album, (Sweeter Than Fiction).

Every explicit album should have its clean counterpart sold alongside it from the initial album announcement. The only album Taylor has handled remotely well on this subject is Red TV.

For somebody who said she made the Eras Tour film because she wanted everybody to be able to share the experience even if they couldn’t attend the concert, she has released an awful lot of music that she has made clear she doesn’t want her fans to have equal access to! It’s hypocritical, and it makes it increasingly hard to respect her as an artist when her business practices are so conniving. And I say this because I do appreciate her as an artist, and so it bothers me to see her behave so low when I honestly believe she’s better than this!

So, open letter to the chairman of the Tortured Poets Department, I guess: are you in it for the art, or the money?

[mmemirrorball]

guys gen question I really want the pink 1989 tv cd from target but I’m on a budget rn— do you think I will be able to get it in store on release day or should I suck it up and preorder???

[lightscamerabitchsmileee]

Is it just me or has anyone gave any thought about where the vault tracks as a whole or hell any bonus tracks throughout her career would be if it made the original cut?? Hearing these 1989 vault tracks kinda had me thinking this question?? What are your thoughts on this??

[tyrant2002]

[1989repswiftie]

You are in love aesthetic 🤎

I can’t believe we only have tomorrow and then 1989 TV is out!!!!!

What vault track are you guys most excited for? I am most excited for suburban legends

A Guide to Red - The Quintessential Taylor Swift Album

After the release of The Manuscript, the role of Red and Red (Taylor’s Version) in Taylor’s life and discography has been highly discussed. A lot of people have referred to it as her magnum opus and most formative album. I have decided to compile a condensed list of about a dozen key interviews, performances, speeches, posts, and videos from 2011 all the way until 2024 that illustrate the importance of this record for Taylor’s personal life and career. I’m putting the list under a cut because it got pretty long. You don’t have to go through all of these, obviously, but I would suggest at least one per era. The bolded ones are essential in my opinion.

Pre-Red - These interviews hint at Taylor’s emotional state at the time and thus the content that will be explored on the Red album

2011 The New Yorker profile

Taylor Swift reveals new album is all about heartbreak - Extra TV

Bonus: an article going through Taylor’s arm lyrics on the Speak Now World Tour, which she described as mood rings for any particular show

- All Too Well lyrics first draft (February 2011)

- Random bursts of happiness and anxiety during the Speak Now Tour (June 17, 2011)

- Red (September 8, 2011)

- Holy Ground (February 2012)

- Nothing New (March 2, 2012)

- Working with Max Martin (June 10, 2012)

Diary entry from Grammy night (January 25, 2014)

Red Tour London performance of All Too Well - any performance of this song from 2013-14 will work here, but this one has a pretty comprehensive speech

Final performance of All Too Well on the Red Tour - just listen to the speech here

Post-Red era - Over the course of these interviews, you’ll see her relationship to the album evolve.

Taylor’s description of Clean (skip to 11:18)

2014 BBC Live Lounge interview

1989 World Tour interview where she mentions thinking she’d never sell as many albums as she did with Red before 1989 came out

Clean speech - a lot of these will work, but these two best describe her relationship with the Red era and heartbreak in general

All Too Well (The 1989 World Tour live)

2015 GrammyPro interview

All Too Well Super Saturday Night performance

Reputation Tour All Too Well speech

Red into Daylight performance - 2019 City of Lover concert in Paris

Re-recordings era - at this point, listen to the red vault

2020 Rolling Stone podcast

Red (Taylor’s Version) prologue

2021 Saturday Night Live performance

All Too Well: The Short Film + Behind the Scenes

Seth Meyers interview

2022 Tribeca film talk OR TIFF (both are equally good. I have a slight preference for the former, but there are some interesting new details in the latter). You could also watch directors on directors from the same year as a bonus, but it’s less comprehensive.

2022 Graham Norton - How All Too Well (10 Minute Version) came about + how the re-recordings inspired Midnights

Also listen to Midnights

The Eras Tour

All Too Well speech (Glendale Night 2 & Atlanta Night 1) - any of the speeches from March and April 2023 will work, but these two really illustrate how she feels about this time in her life now and how the fans changed the Red album for her. Obviously credit to @cages-boxes-hunters-foxes for the transcripts!

Maroon first ever live performance (‘This is a song about something that happened a long time ago, but it took place in New York’)

Aaaand finally listen to The Tortured Poets Department, especially The Manuscript

This is a lot, but it’s worth it. Enjoy!

01 - Taylor Swift

No one in the music industry wielded more power over the past year than Taylor Swift, who made history at stadiums, movie theaters and on the Billboard charts, leaving even the most seasoned executives speechless. While they’d long celebrated her staggering popularity as a singer, songwriter and performer, her force as a strategic business leader suddenly came into sharper focus — and industry veterans took notes as they watched some of her bravest and most innovative business risks reap remarkable rewards.

At 34, she is one of the music industry’s most charismatic and influential leaders — and she rewrites the rules.

“The piece of advice I would give to the other executives on this list is that the best ideas are usually ones without industry precedent,” Swift tells Billboard. “The biggest crossroads moments of my career came down to sticking to my instincts when my ideas were looked at with skepticism. When someone says to me, ‘But that has never been done successfully before,’ it fires me up. We have to take strategic risks every day in this industry, but every once in a while, you have to really trust your gut and take a flying leap. My rerecordings are my favorite example of this, and I’m extremely grateful to my team and fans for taking that leap with me because it absolutely changed my life.”

Sage advice for an industry in which instinct has largely been supplanted by metrics and data analysis.

In December, Time named Swift its 2023 Person of the Year. In September, after encouraging her 279 million Instagram followers to vote and linking to vote.org, the nonpartisan nonprofit said it received over 35,000 registrations. She appears on the cover of this issue of Billboard and in the No. 1 spot of our annual Power 100 issue because her force across the business of music is now unparalleled — and because she models commitment to innovation that the rest of the business will need in order to tackle the big challenges ahead.

Swift’s gambles have paid off handsomely over the past year.

Her massive The Eras stadium tour, which began in March after she controversially put all the tickets on sale at once, crashing Ticketmaster and sparking mass hysteria, grossed an estimated $906.1 million in 2023 and is poised to become the highest-grossing global tour of all time before it wraps in December, according to Billboard.

The Golden Globe-nominated Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour film, taped during her six-show run at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif., in August, has grossed over $261.6 million worldwide since its October opening, according to AMC Theatres Entertainment. In January, the publicly traded movie-house chain announced that the film’s box-office take made it the highest-grossing concert/documentary picture ever released, surpassing Michael Jackson’s 2009 This Is It. Once again blazing a new path, Swift made a groundbreaking distribution deal directly with AMC Theaters instead of linking with a film studio.

Swift has shaken up the catalog market, too. When Scooter Braun infuriated her by acquiring the master recordings of her first six albums through his Ithaca Holdings and then sold them to investment firm Shamrock Capital at a profit, Swift rerecorded the albums with loving precision and added bonus tracks to the new releases. They performed phenomenally well, as she deftly used her tour to promote them. When her latest rerecording (and 14th studio album overall), 1989 (Taylor’s Version), spent its fifth week at atop the Billboard 200 at the end of 2023, Swift beat Elvis Presley’s record for the most weeks at No. 1 by a solo artist. Her industry market share last year was 1.72%. If she were her own genre, she’d rank ninth for 2023 — bigger than jazz.

“She’s the smartest artist I’ve ever worked with,” says Messina Touring Group’s Louis Messina, who promotes Swift’s tours and has worked with her since 2005. “She outworks everybody and she has always had this vision. If you’re around her, you can’t help but believe in her.” —Melinda Newman

[horsetailcurlers2]

the original grey’s anatomy love quadrilateral pairings as taylor swift albums:

merder: speak now (young, exciting, passionate. romantic and jaded at the same time. all about flash in the pan love affairs and on and off relationships. also this was ts’s feral era which i think tracks for meredith. enchanted, sparks fly, haunted, ours, i can see you. bonus: better than revenge, for the meraddek triangle)

addek: red (characterized by nostalgia. half breakup album, half love album. a little all over the place. feels like a retrospective on a relationship. if speak now is young, red is about looking back. and in my head baby addek is very fall. holy ground, all too well, treacherous, i almost do, the last time, sad beautiful tragic, the moment i knew, red.)

maddison: 1989 (New York Album. heartbreaking lyrics disguised as fun light pop songs. makes me think of young maddek friendship, the flirtation before the affair, the two months in new york hiding from their real lives and the gossip, trying to salvage something out of the big mess they made. style, out of the woods, slut!, wildest dreams, wonderland, now that we don’t talk)

meddison: lover. (out of the wreckage type love. or post wreckage type love. passionate but ultimately mature, longing, reflective. after the heartbreak of red, after the drama of 1989, after the reinvention of reputation. cruel summer, the archer, paper rings, lover, miss americana & the heartbreak prince, false god, daylight)

marek: reputation. (guys hear me out. i wasn’t even gonna include this pairing but then i had the insane thought that mark and derek kind of have taylor and karlie energy lmao. derek running across the country to become a flannel wearing wood chopping fisherman and not answering anybody’s calls has the same energy as taylor blacking out her social media. the old derek can’t come to the phone right now. why? cause he’s dead. this is why we can’t have nice things, look what you made me do.

[likeawolfatthemoon]

i am literally so tired of the multiple album variants discourse. just don't buy them!!! i haven't purchased a single piece of physical media of taylor's since 1989 (honestly i think that was even gifted to me) and i have had no problem accessing any music of hers i've wanted to listen to ever. if you want to be a collection completionist, that's your choice. if it's becoming too expensive, it can be your choice to stop!!! nobody is forcing your hand. taylor does not have a moral obligation to put out fewer things so you can have all of them, she's a capitalist billionaire and she's not secretive about that. like it's valid if it hurts your feelings that you can't afford everything, I guess, but genuinely why are we stillllllllll talking about this. like im just having fun looking at the pretty pictures knowing damn well im not going to buy a single one of these and will be streaming them and taylor will be a-ok with my streaming revenue rather than the revenue from my album sales. and as for the bonus tracks? i love piracy and she knows 100% that people who listen only on streaming but WANT to hear those will be listening to pirated versions...like she already leans in to the fact that there's thousands of people watching concert livestreams every night. she understands how the internet works. she is not missing those sales. we already know it's going to be the biggest album of the year and break records bc she's taylor fucking swift and everything she touches turns to gold. she's just having fun making more little content things to release bc that's how she knows to interact and excite us now. you don't have to buy them if you don't want to. like...genuinely start trying to change your perspective on this, y'all are making yourselves soooo upset and it makes me sad for you. not in a mean way, but in a like...you should be having fun, how can i help you have fun way. y'know. stream music, interact with fandom, you don't have to buy everything to be a fan.

[persephoneprice]

i have zero positivity because i’m in such a state of despair over the elections AND i have an exam i didn’t study for in like an hour.

BUT !! i have headcanons for the mentors !!

livia cardew is a MASSIVE swiftie. so is iphegenia, but livia is a midnights/1989 girlie whereas iphegenia is an evermore/ttpd girlie.

arachne gets dragged into the taylor swift mess by them. (she pretends she hates it but she LOVES reputation.) other than that, she listens to lana, only ultraviolence. i get major nirvana vibes from her, too.

coriolanus doesn’t listen to music because he’s boring. (and he has trauma from lucy gray).

i always pictured sej as a boygenius listener, and tbh also the smiths. i feel like that’s just me projecting my music taste onto him tho..

diana ring is the biggest laufey stan out there. EVER.

deaths and pup are your stereotypical kanye listening taylor swift hating guys. (sorry💔). though i feel like festus would dabble in weezer and fleetwood mac…

lysistrata loves some random underground singer you’ve never heard of before, and multiple of them at that. only exception would be mitski.

(bonus!!!)

lucy gray would love country music, hozier, and florence + the machine.

i’d love to know what you think of these and any headcanons for anyone i didn’t say!!

oh thank you dear this is such a lovely ask to receive <3

i’m sending you the best vibes to get through that exam!! you can do it and i know it!

livia cardew is THE swiftie!!! i’ve been saying it!!! that girl loves taylor!! i think you’re so on point with the albums too

ooo i so see that about arachne!! she lowkey gives not like other girls 🫣 so she would pretend to hate taylor but bop to her songs when no one is looking

coriolanus hears a guitar and has heart palpitations

sej loves noah kahan in my heart <3

festus and pup are good friends in my head so this tracks

lyssie would be so sweet about it if you ask!! she’s never say ‘you’ve probably never heard of it’ she would be so happy to share her fav music

lucy gray hozier stan amen amen

vipsania would love olivia rodrigo

pippa would also love taylor <3
