BuzzJack Music Forum _ Taylor Swift _ Love Story (Taylor's Version) • Re-Recordings

Posted by: UltraFolklore Dec 2 2020, 05:22 PM



I'm putting this into a new thread cos I'm just presuming no-one saw the post in the main re-recordings thread and IT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION!. I can't believe the re-recordings have happened so soon omg!

There's some rumours that this is gonna come out in the next couple weeks so I'll thread it just in case x I'm lowkey not expecting anything til 2021 tho! (but then I didn't expect this today ohmy.gif )

In her spotify 'august' video yesterday, there was a post-it note covering up the 4th with 'feels like were back in March' & March was the month Love Story was recorded!!! also her EW cover/interview is being held back so surely something noteworthy is being announced in that?!?!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Dec 2 2020, 05:26 PM

also this was in the advert and I'm SCREAMING:

Showing up on Shazam!!!

Surprise New Year’s Day drop?! 😮

Posted by: ...ready for it Dec 25 2020, 09:51 PM

I saw the post. I haven't seen the EW magazine in the store yet, but some are up on eBay.

Posted by: UltraEvermore Feb 9 2021, 01:04 PM

Rumours have been growing & growing that this is coming out on Friday! It makes sense with Valentine's Day being this weekend but at the same time, who knows as the previous December rumours we're all untrue laugh.gif

Also:



This was posted on 2/12 (in American style date). swap those numbers around, and what date do u get ohmy.gif I s2g if this was another insane Easter egg if it does come out on Friday! ohmy.gif

Posted by: UltraEvermore Feb 10 2021, 02:44 AM

I'm so excited!!

How are you guys expecting it'll do?

Posted by: UltraEvermore Feb 11 2021, 12:59 AM

Also looks like the re-recordings are going to be called Taylor's Version!

Posted by: UltraEvermore Feb 11 2021, 04:38 AM

Supposedly there might be more to the announcement than just love story omg!! I’m so hyped

Deuxmoi saying it’s 26 songs, I feel like that won’t be true but this will be the first post for that thread if it turns out right x

Posted by: ...ready for it Feb 11 2021, 06:57 AM

I want to stay awake for the announcement, but it's anywhere between 7-9 AM my time and I stay up until 6 AM as it is, so I don't know.

Posted by: dannjohn Feb 11 2021, 10:31 AM

there's a rumour theres either a 13 track or 26 track (2x 13 tracks) cd coming very soon of old songs. She truly is giving us everything.

Posted by: UltraEvermore Feb 11 2021, 12:07 PM

Time to have GMA on in the background for the next 2 hours, the things I do for this woman laugh.gif

I'm so excited!! 💛💛

I'm so excited cheeseblock.png

Love Story was ofc my introduction to Taylor so the way this release tonight is going to bring back SO MANY MEMORIES. cry.gif heart.gif

Posted by: Ultra's Version Feb 11 2021, 05:17 PM

omg the artwork is high-key horrific rotf.gif It looks like someone just got an old pic of Taylor and added text to it, it looks like one of those fake single covers. I guess something had to not be great considering how amazing everything else has been today laugh.gif

Do you guys think we'll get a music video alongside this or just the song? I'm gearing towards the latter!

Posted by: ...ready for it Feb 11 2021, 10:39 PM

Just the song.

Posted by: ...ready for it Feb 12 2021, 02:43 AM

Like most people on here probably, Love Story was my introduction to Taylor and the moment I became an immediate stan, I still remember the chills & love I had the first time I ever heard the song and now I'm getting to experience it again wub.gif

I'm already obsessed, it feels like I'm discovering it for the first time all over again laugh.gif

her vocals in the last verse are SO GOOD.

Posted by: Ultra's Version Feb 12 2021, 05:09 AM



I am so excited for the rest of the re-recordings ahh!! cheeseblock.png this is terrific <3

also it looks like she produced it by herself and Nathan Chapman wasn't involved ohmy.gif

Posted by: ...ready for it Feb 12 2021, 05:09 AM

Yes, this does bring back memories.

Even though the whole situation of how we got into the re-recordings was a messT and so shitty, I love how Taylor has come out on top of them and seems to be so happy now going through all the era's again and it just feels there's so much love put into this whole project wub.gif

Posted by: Ultra's Version Feb 12 2021, 06:27 AM

So this was co-produced by Chris Rowe (a longtime Nashville studio pro who worked on Swift's early records)!

I don't think so cry.gif It looks like the lyric video is the most we're going to get but maybe there's a slight chance she'll drop something on Valentine's Day? Not expecting it tho sad.gif

Posted by: Jade Feb 12 2021, 11:41 AM

Her vocals have improved so much since the original was released!

'Love Story' is far from my favourite Taylor song but this was such a warm listen. I love that the opening lyrics allude to a flashback - perfect for this project!

Posted by: Ultra's Version Feb 12 2021, 01:09 PM

Wow this is already 15 on Apple Music!! Around the same place willow/cardigan were this time on first day so it’s epic it’s keeping up pace with them, top 5 later tonight? 😮 also 2 on iTunes!

Posted by: JulianNial Feb 12 2021, 01:09 PM

This is a good version, I think it does the original justice and then some. Feels fuller!

Posted by: LondonN11 Feb 13 2021, 12:34 AM

I love her vocals on this. Reignited my love for the song. But most inconvenient to keep releasing new music when I’m desperately trying to listen to and rate older albums / non album singles. I can’t keep up laugh.gif tongue.gif wink.gif

Hopefully time for official confirmation/trying to work out whether it’s on ACR or SCR, a new entry, and all the other UK chart questions we’ve had 😂

Posted by: Ultra's Version Feb 14 2021, 06:03 PM

not in the top 3 contenders so the waiting to find out continues laugh.gif

Posted by: Ultra's Version Feb 14 2021, 06:47 PM

#4 in first look!

So SCR and not combined with the original would be my guess!

Hopefully it can hold on for a top 10 placing! <3

Down to 6 on Spotify in the UK and 3 in the US! Not too bad, esp for a 13 year old song anywhere near the numbers its pulling atm is insane

I think its just because it's such an old song cry.gif I don't think anyone was expecting it to have anywhere near the big first day numbers it had and even despite that, the playlists (Apple Music is even worse than Spotify, at least the latter put the new version on their Valentine's Day playlist) won't capitalise on it because its so old gah cry.gif Supposedly it's the same with US radio being quite resistant to playing it.

I feel the first true test of playlist support for the re-recordings era will be if one of the new vault tracks gets pushed as a single, I'd really hope they'd support it then

Posted by: Envoirment Feb 20 2021, 01:13 AM

Great to see it going top 20! I hope it'll be a decent trickle seller/streamer. I assume it'll be recommended/swapped out of playlists etc with the original gradually?

I don't find it shocking at all. It's a re-recording of an old song, they are not going to push it like a new song. I actually listened to some Spotify playlist that featured the original Love Story last week.


The re-recordings will do what they will and that's it.

Posted by: Bjork Feb 25 2021, 12:14 PM

obviously lol
but could have been even nicer debuting top 10 in UK/US after all the effort, which could have so easily been achieved with a tiny tiny support from Spotify
