[@mariajosesomarriba1254]

Soooooo I actually think this is the best vault we’ve had so far in terms of lyrics and cohesiveness. The vault tracks are telling the same story as the standard edition and the lyrics are more raw and direct in regards to who the songs are about. I think that’s why she chose to leave them out bc it’s undeniable who they’re about. I also think it literally sounds 1989 as in they’re synthy and have an 80s movie soundtrack vibe to them.

[@ggukdipity]

“she’s cute but is she “you are in love?”” she doesn’t need to because she’s this love and she’s iconic

Taylor has said on Tumbler that these songs she had written during the 1989 era, but the production wasn't composed until today. That's why they kind of have a midnights sound to them. Her current sound didn't fit with the sounds of her older albums, but it fits with the sound and themes of the 1989 era and the vault tracks. I am excited to see what she does with the reputation tracks!

my thoughts on the vault tracks are that they were probably written around the time of the rest of 1989, but because they werent produced by jack until post-midnights, theres so much of that influence in the production that they feel almost like midnights tracks instead??

about the songs not feeling "as high" as the og version: actually the notes that she's hitting are the very same, but since her voice does not have the strain it did on the og, they feel lower. they're not tho, they're the same. it's just how her voice produced them that is different and it feels more natural and stable, but that's just vocal development for you lol

I think the feeling of fullness in the production comes from the demand for spatial audio and panning in a digital world where dolby atmos is slowly taking over, as opposed to 2014 when the OG 1989 came out where the main sales were from physical copies and in my mind this album was made for vinyl back then where there cannot be any panning or spatial sounds that are specifically in one ear or both ears, making the mix wider. I think rep will be pretty similar to the original because of streaming being much more prominent at that time, but a lot of the fuller and wider production definitely is because it doesn't have to be on CD or Vinyl, and they will be mixed and mastered differently for physical versions...ill stop now but as an audio engineer and music production and technology student I LOVE to talk about stuff like this :)

I think the reason why some of us feel like some songs aren’t as high(in terms of notes hit) like before is because her voice currently has grown so much that those high notes back then feels like her normal range now.

[@blehh010]

the vault tracks are interesting. its possible she was recording Midnights at the same time, and Midnights took heavy influence from them sonically, part of why they sound like they belong on it. At the same time, the songs are perfectly arranged and follow a storyline. In Slut, she says you're not saying you're in love with me but you're going to. In Say Don't Go, she says i love you and he says nothing back. Probably because he wants it to be platonic. In Now That We Don't Talk, she says she ended it because she couldn't pretend to be platonic and she really fell. In Suburban Legends she builds up on it saying how she didn't want it to be platonic in the first place. But she understands that he didn't want to, to some extent. However, in Is It Over Now she's mad because he moved on loudly while he kept their relationship under wraps (sort of) and pretended it was platonic, which is making her question everything. That maybe it was over all this time even before she ended it. It's really interesting, the narration.

this album is JUST A MASTERPIECE

[@castiels_trenchcoat974]

It’s not really lower, her voice has just mature and gotten a bit deeper as it tends to do with time :) was still an absolutely fucking AMAZING re-record❤ definitely my favorite one ! I was dumb enough to not get really into the original 1989 until like 6 months ago and it’s really gone up to my number 1 rotation along with 3 others that go to number one on a weekly basis depending on my mood😂

Omg the face interview is sooo accurate!!!! I thought about a fake interview in a car at midnight as well, until you brought it up!!! Crying.

i love the vault tracks however i do think they were definitely produced during midnights. they sound so much like labyrinth, mastermind, etc. i wish we had gotten 1989 production with those but they're still really great!

[@hannemily0330]

Wildest Dreams is like the slowest song on the album and you're out here dancing like it's Shake It Off. I love the energy you bring!!! Love it, love it, love it

[@ariellelyons]

i thought that lyric in style was “the end of you” because she thought the relationship was ending… i just found out what the real lyric is when this came out 😭

18:20 YES OMG LIKE A TICK RIGHT? YOU HEAR IT TOO? Ashley i love shake it off but there’s something seriously wrong with that loud ass tick -.- i rlly haate ittt T-T i feel it in my neck too

I think the vault tracks on each re-record have some influence from the albums that came before them. Fearless and Red while already very acoustic sounding gave more of a folklore/evermore sound to them. Then she dropped midnights and the speak now tv while not too midnights-y still had a bit more of a pop influence in the songs. Then now 1989 tv comes and the vault feels very midnights influenced. I think the vault tracks were written back then but have been brought to life with the sound she is currently working with. Upon initial listen I felt the 1989 vault was very midnights inspired and that’s because that’s the overall era and sound she is in.

10:33 for me it was YOUR interview. I thought his interviews was published recently and it was the first time in a while when she heard something about him, cause they don't talk

[@intheesnow]

i’m so ready to get to the vault tracks with ash holy fuck (i’m not)

[@thatlastkiss]

She only liked 2 💀

[@DoubleBlack2.0]

@@thatlastkissWHAT?!? Omg. I haven’t gotten to that part yet and hearing this really upsets me! 😭😭😭

[@missmusic4951]

@@DoubleBlack2.0 I think she was mostly caught off guard and got caught up in her expectations versus reality--I bet they grow on her a good amount tbh.

[@Kristin2007]

@@missmusic4951fr i keep seeing people say they don’t feel like 1989…and i’m like well duh that’s why they weren’t on the original 😂 i personally love these more than most of 1989 bc they’re more story based w details and 1989 lacks that for me

[@tonyjung2644]

Now you know why they didn’t make the cut. They are not to the standard of 1989.

[@isonmohed5179]

Finally, my favorite internet mommy ,Ashley

[@victorlimah1]

Thank the Lord that my confort channel is back on track. Tysm i love you Ash ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@samiyahbolton4613]

When ash was talking about the blue dress White boat and I was like what until she listens to is It over now? and then when she heard it and she was so calm and then she screamed she scared the shit out of me cause it was so unexpected 😭😭😭😭😭

[@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

10:39 Don't feel bad, Ashley; for the longest time I thought the line "Lights are off, he's taking off his coat," in Style's second verse was actually "Lights are off, he's taking off his clothes," so here I was thinking Taylor was giving a hint of spice in the song when she totally wasn't. 😅

[@kartkaesque]

Ok but clothes feels so much better and that's how I sing it as

[@DJtheBlack-RibbonedRose]

@@kartkaesque Ha ha thanks, glad I'm not alone then (because to be frank, you're totally right, it just rolls off the tongue better). 😉

[@nnssr]

omg same ! when she re released 1989 I legit had to double check she changed the lyric but she didn’t

[@Rebalaffien]

We’re pretty close in age and I love watching the same shows you do, watch the summer I turned pretty!! It made me feel nostalgic in the best way and very 2000’s movie-esque. Really great music too! Goes along with the storytelling
