BuzzJack Music Forum _ Taylor Swift _ Speak Now (Taylor's Version) • Re-Recordings

Posted by: Ultra's Version 12th February 2021, 05:18 AM

Creating all the threads for the re-recordings now (not Rep yet as that won't be until 2022).

Feel free to discuss anything in these threads about what you want from each projects, any cover art suggestions, any theories etc about when they'l come & how many tracks! <3

Posted by: Ultra's Version 12th February 2021, 05:19 AM

Okay so there's a theory going round that this will drop on July 9th!

Taylor mentions July 9th on Last Kiss and July 9th is 13 weeks after April 9th so this wouldn't shock me at all if it became true laugh.gif

Posted by: ...ready for it 12th February 2021, 05:43 AM

Ready for the re-recording of Enchanted!

Posted by: Ultra's Version 19th April 2021, 10:26 PM

She's using 3 emojis ALL THE TIME in her tweets atm, maybe this is the next re-recording to be released?! ohmy.gif

Posted by: London 19th April 2021, 11:27 PM

Oh I really hope so !!! Please whistle.gif

Posted by: ...ready for it 19th April 2021, 11:39 PM

I thought the next re-recording was going to be 1989.

Posted by: John-James 20th April 2021, 07:21 AM

I don’t mind this coming next and I think it’s probably the smarter option. 1989 will have hype and interest no matter when it is released whereas speak now won’t if it gets left to one of the last ones

Posted by: dannjohn 21st April 2021, 10:10 AM

this is the re-record i'm most excited for as it's my fave Taylor album (and the only tour I saw live!).

Posted by: Neil 28th April 2021, 08:08 PM

If This Was A Movie is what I'm most looking forward to, especially as the original isn't available on Spotify!!

Posted by: George.keh 28th April 2021, 08:15 PM

Enchanted is up there with Style and Delicate for the ones I’m most excited for

Posted by: London 28th April 2021, 11:09 PM

Same! Most excited for this re-recording, and most particularly Enchanted heart.gif

I’m trying not to listen to this album anymore so that when it comes out I can go crazy listening to it!

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 6th May 2022, 12:49 PM

I really hope she decides to release 'Enchanted' as the song to launch this campaign! I feel like that could do just as well as (if not better due to the ready made viral Tik Toks) 'All Too Well' in all honesty.

Maybe 1989 for the Summer months and SN getting the big Q4 - Red type push?

I hope she releases Enchanted - with a video - to the launch this campaign too.

I thought it would have made more sense to release 1989 in the big Q4 and to release SN, like now! That’s what I thought she’d have gone for but who knows what her plan is. One thing I’m feel pretty certain of, we’ll have both of them by the end of the year…

Posted by: Ansel 6th May 2022, 04:24 PM

Def agree on Enchanted being the perfect lead! I'm hoping for collabs with Hayley Williams and Avril Lavigne if there are any Better Than Revenge style vault tracks.
1989 sounds more like a summer album to me while SN is more autumnal, but who knows what'll happen!

Posted by: HausEatsGrandma 6th May 2022, 04:25 PM

HAS to be Enchanted and I'm sure it will be!

Posted by: ...ready for it 6th May 2022, 04:50 PM

Enchanted is my favorite song on Speak Now, so I would love to see justice for it!

Posted by: dannjohn 13th May 2022, 04:26 PM

'enchanted' is obviously going to be the 'all too well' of this album, isn't it?

Posted by: ...ready for it 6th June 2022, 04:22 AM

Another theory via Twitter:

"Taylor Swift could announce "Speak Now TV" on Friday, June 17. "Red TV" was announced on June 18 (Scooter Braun's birthday). "RED" is also written on the scooter panel in "The Man" mv and "Speak Now" is written next to the panel"

I would love for that to be true!

Posted by: UltraSourRed 8th June 2022, 08:43 PM

Supposedly Sparks Fly might be coming on that same amazon show that This Love was in the trailer for, we shall see but I'm not believing it ftm.

Posted by: dannjohn 23rd November 2022, 04:50 PM

i would doubt this was coming this year... theres still life in Midnights and dropping SN right now doesnt seem like a good idea

Posted by: London 23rd November 2022, 06:24 PM

I’d be really surprised if ur dropped before Christmas

Posted by: ...ready for it 23rd November 2022, 07:49 PM

I'm thinking that isn't happening.

Posted by: dannjohn 24th November 2022, 10:51 AM

deffo not coming this year... what we know about taylor is she cares about chart success and stats... she's not going to drop something now to risk it underperforming and i think there's still life in Midnights for another 2 singles.

I would say a re-release would come no earlier than March/April at this point... maybe even alongside whenever the tour starts.

Posted by: 777666jason 9th January 2023, 11:33 PM

Lots of rumors about it being release before the eras tour anyone think any truth

Posted by: London 10th January 2023, 12:54 AM

I think that makes logical sense but I'm not sure it is the best move when Midnights still has momentum.

This could be old news, but I've just made a new Taylor playlist and noticed there's now a version of Speak Now with the bonus tracks on biggrin.gif Or perhaps the version was always there but the songs were greyed out before, but either way:

Hahaha, surely it’s not coming tonight?

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 3rd March 2023, 11:24 AM

Nope. Unless it comes out at some point later today, then Swifties really need to give up detective work. They're not as sharp as they once were and I feel like they overthink EVERY thing now...

I am anticipating Enchanted (Taylor's Version). wub.gif

Posted by: Ansel 3rd March 2023, 08:45 PM

I always forget just how much I love this album until I listen to it, but it's top 3 or top 4 in Taylor's discography. With updated vocals it's going to absolutely SMASH - Mine, Sparks Fly, Back To December, Speak Now, The Story Of Us, Enchanted, Better Than Revenge, and Haunted will absolutely end me cheeseblock.png

Posted by: GraceAJX 5th March 2023, 05:35 PM

I could see it being released on Friday the 17th, first day of the Eras Tour...

Posted by: 777666jason 6th March 2023, 10:58 AM

Be interesting either way, if she releases it suprise release could break here streak of number 1s in the UK,

Yes her name is huge right now but it was her second least successful in the UK for ages

and Fearless TV only debuted at 21k

Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 6th March 2023, 07:12 PM

I’d expect there’d be new people eager to check it out. If it is released soon I’d expect it to open with around 30k

Yup. Depending on the week of release, I don't think it will stop her run of number 1 albums.

She'll probably be releasing these separately so that SN(TV) and it's Vault tracks continue to be just her as the credited songwriter. It's kind of the albums biggest flex and the fact it's highly regarded as her best album, by many!

Posted by: ...ready for it 17th March 2023, 05:01 AM

I really hope we are getting this or 1989 (Taylor's Version) soon!

Posted by: UltraMidnights 11th April 2023, 11:49 AM

She filmed a video in Liverpool over the weekend with Joey King (confirmed) and supposedly Taylor Lautner! From the leaked pics it has something to do with a bank heist or something

Considering Joey starred in the video for Mean, she dated Taylor just before this era & he inspired some of the songs on the album, and some of the props seen on the shoot are from the Speak Now era, surely this has to be a video for a speak now song?!?!

Maybe it’s actually finally coming soon!

Posted by: 777666jason 11th April 2023, 05:07 PM

I dunno the hero speculations suggest vigilante shit

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 11th April 2023, 06:31 PM

Yeah I've seen a lot more going for 'Vigilante Shit' than I have songs from SN! The "stolen art" will probably be the cover to 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)'... once that video drops then I can see an announcement/release date for SN(TV)!

Posted by: 777666jason 12th April 2023, 03:12 PM

Yeah I'm guessing that's most likely scenario with lots of easter eggs for SNTV

So 2 speak now , tracks as suprises a week after those video rumors is she trolling the fans or coincidence laugh.gif

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 6th May 2023, 05:46 AM

Pre-order:



Straight to UK store https://storeuk.taylorswift.com/

Just pre-ordered the 3LP Vinyl.

22 Songs including 6 Vault tracks

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 6th May 2023, 06:19 AM

I presume this is the tracklist then:

01. Mine
02. Spark's Fly
03. Back to December
04. Speak Now
05. Dear John
06. Mean
07. The Story of Us
08. Never Grow Up
09. Enchanted
10. Better Than Revenge
11. Innocent
12. Haunted
13. Last Kiss
14. Long Live
15. Ours
16. Superman
17. VAULT 1
18. VAULT 2
19. VAULT 3
20. VAULT 4
21. VAULT 5
22. VAULT 6

Those vault tracks are gonna be entirely self written then and it is probably the reason why she has tacked 'If This Was A Movie (TV)' onto the 'Fearless (TV)' era instead, in the end then.

The hype is insane! Massive engagement on the announcement posts (more on IG than Midnights'). I'M SO EXCITED!
I'll be honest, the cover art hasn't fully clicked with me yet. might take a bit of time... and also a shame at how pricey the Vinyl and CD releases are on her store! Probs going to wait and see if it pops up on Amazon.

Posted by: GraceAJX 6th May 2023, 10:27 PM

The original album has rocketed into the top 10 on UK Apple Music for what I imagine is the first time ever - #5 now (+83 from 24 hours ago), and above Midnights (#7).. Incredible!

It's been about 5 years since I last willingly listened to Fall Out Boy, definitely not a name I would've expected to show up here laugh.gif but bring on the pop-rock bops I guess!

Posted by: Jade 5th June 2023, 05:28 PM

Really excited for the Taylor and Hayley collab! I always thought 'The Story Of Us' sounded like a Paramore song, so this seems like a neat meeting of worlds.

Posted by: conorw 5th June 2023, 05:35 PM

finally a tracklist! woah at those collabs, excited for the hayley one for sure! shame theres no 'lets go (battle)' as a vault track as its one of my fave leaks, but apparently it has a co-write so that might explain why its not here if the rumours of her going for an all self written album are true. looking forward to it! haunted, enchanted, story of us & better than revenge are the ones im most excited for

I was uncertain about Fearless, not my fav era, but that tracklist makes it even worst, kind like my tracklist from hell
the song with FOB is gonna be in the same vein as Me but 100 times worst I fear

From working at HMV and having seen that 'Fearless' and 'RED' were selling for similar, it sells pretty much every day, I assume it continues to do so!

Isn't that standard RRP for 2 disc cds these days and doesn't hmv usually sell closest to RRP

Posted by: Bjork 30th June 2023, 12:49 PM

it's a triple vinyl so price understandable kinda

Posted by: GraceAJX 1st July 2023, 04:09 PM

There are retailers selling the vinyl for £40 so HMV are marking up because they know fans will be buying.

There seems to be a little bit of buzz for the Hayley Williams collab (the Fall Out Boy one seems to have no hype atm)

Im expecting Enchanted and one of Dear John or the Hayley collab to join Cruel Summer in the charts next week.

Posted by: John-James 3rd July 2023, 07:40 PM

I think it will be Cruel Summer, Enchanted and either Mine or Back to December

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 6th July 2023, 12:33 AM

Which re-recordings are people most looking forward to?

My top 5:
- Haunted > SO excited to hear if she makes the strings more prominent in this! <
- Enchanted > Coz... OBVZ! <
- Long Live > Same reason as 'Haunted'! <
- Better Than Revenge > Will she change the lyrics or won't she?? <
- Dear John > I am intrigued to hear whether this is better or not tbh. Coz I feel that with her more matured voice, it could be an excellent version... <

Posted by: UltraCruelSummer 6th July 2023, 12:36 AM

Mine - cos it’s a classic
Haunted + Sparks Fly - two of my faves that feel like they could become all-timers with a good new version
Better than revenge - she better NOT change the lyrics or I will riot. Will legit only listen to stolen version of that song if she does
Enchanted - cos obvs

I also can’t wait for the bonus tracks, Ours and Superman are so underrated. Basically I cannot wait for this album and can’t believe it’s a day away!! (Tho as always, innocent can stay in the trashcan, preferably unreleased on this version x)

I can see you is a bop but I thought it would be more instant for me than it was! Though it is stuck in my head already

Castles crumbling cheeseblock.png my fave so far <3

Foolish One is fine but feels like one of those tracks I will barely go back to after a week


Posted by: UltraCruelSummer 7th July 2023, 07:22 AM

Timeless is gorgeous ❤️

Enchanted now, then the deluxe tracks, then I’m going from the start 😂

Posted by: Lunar 7th July 2023, 07:32 AM

I'm going the whole way through, up to Dear John so far!

Mine & Sparks Fly sounded so different to me on first listen because I'm so used to the original versions laugh.gif It was the backing vocals on the chorus for Mine and Sparks Fly sounds a lot slower than the original? Her vocals sound so good on both though wub.gif

'Dear John' has had the biggest glow up for me so far, she sounds GORGEOUS on it!

Posted by: UltraCruelSummer 7th July 2023, 07:41 AM

I was worried for Sparks Fly cos it’s the original I’ve seen fans be the least happy with the new version & saying it doesn’t hit as hard, but for me it sounds near identical to the original so I’m glad about that! What a classic <3

Posted by: London 7th July 2023, 07:57 AM

Just started taking my first listen through. Going form start to finish. Been waiting for this moment. So far I'm loving how I can hear the instruments so much more clearly than I feel I could before and a more mature voice is adding another level to these for me. It is strange to not have a young Taylor teenage angst voice if that makes sense. My favourites so far are sparks Fly and speak now but that's not surprising as that's two of my favs from the original.

I started this, but I had to restart coz my player was on shuffle drama.gif (So I've heard 'Better Than Revenge' - and honestly I didn't even notice the change. I did notice the production level up a little bit though! *.*)

Mine, Sparks Fly & Back To December were awesome and I have a feeling this is already her best re-recording... her more mature vocals really suit these songs!

Yes ! ! Love this song but couldn't work out why it was on another level !

Posted by: Lunar 7th July 2023, 08:34 AM

Just finished the non-vault songs and WOW cheeseblock.png I absolutely loved it and her vocals were so stunning throughout!

The Story Of Us sounds SO good, the production being a bit more rock combined with the new vocals makes it so much better than the original imo!! Enchanted & Haunted (my 2 favourites from the original) were both sounding AMAZING and even better than their original versions too!

Unpopular opinion but right now it's just the first 2 songs that I need to get used to / weren't instantly hitting for me. Could very well just be that I was really tired when I started the album though laugh.gif

Vault track time now!!

Ours is so lush - something about her voice now makes it even more appealing.

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 7th July 2023, 09:44 AM

'Superman' continues to be one of the most underrated and under appreciated GEMS of her discography! It's SOOOO GOOD! 'Haunted' was EVERYTHING I wanted it to be wub.gif LOVE LOVE LOVE that song so much!

The vault tracks are solid. I don't think Patrick was needed on 'Electric Touch' and that's odd because he has such a unique voice that it SHOULD feel like he was needed/added for a reason. But you could literally throw anyone else on the track with her and it'd be the same? Honestly, I think it should probably have been a solo song. It was really good though. 'When Emma Falls In Love' does feel like it's in the middle of the 'Fearless' and 'Speak Now' eras. I like it though.

'I Can See You' is gaining traction on socials, I'm not *quite* at that level yet, but it's solid. 'Castles Crumbling' is nice. I'm not a HUUUUGE Hayley fan and like Patrick, I'm not sure I would feel any different if it was her on this track or not tbh. 'Foolish One' is nice. Definitely the most filler of the 'Speak Now' era tbh, not just the vaults. 'Timeless' is GORGEOUS though. Probably the only one of the vault songs that I think could have actually made 'Speak Now' originally. Really beautiful!

Posted by: Lunar 7th July 2023, 09:45 AM

I think the Speak Now vault is probably my favourite of the 3 so far wub.gif I am OBSESSED with Electric Touch - it's probably in my top 5 of the album overall which is so ironic bc I was expecting not to like it when the tracklist was announced

Vault track ranking:
1. Electric Touch (feat. Fall Out Boy)
2. Castles Crumbling (feat. Hayley Williams)
3. I Can See You
4. Timeless
5. When Emma Falls In Love
6. Foolish One

Ready to have this on repeat all day now cheeseblock.png

Posted by: Billy. 7th July 2023, 10:25 AM

I think Electric Touch is so elevated by the feature and probably one of the best songs she’s done for me. I can’t stop playing it!

Castles Crumbling was a bit disappointing but I Can See You floored me a bit too.

I forgot just how perfect this album is cheeseblock.png (bar the obvious exception, screaming at it already nearly being last of the standard album tracks on the 1st update despite not even being in the final 3 tracks on the album)

Better than revenge is slaying considering it’s album placement! I’m surprised it’s ahead of enchanted considering it’s after it on the album, tho I guess that’s the power of the lyric change intrigue!

It's so surreal hearing Taylor's versions of these songs. The refreshed production, Taylor's more mature vocal, it's incredible. The album sounds just as phenomenal as it always has, Taylor's really done it justice! The new lyric in Better Than Revenge will take some getting used to, was never bothered with the old lyric but can appreciate why Taylor wanted to change it. Enchanted and Better Than Revenge remain THOSE songs, it's whiplash having them side-by-side in the best possible way, one extreme emotion to the other. I adore them both so I'm happy to see them slaying Apple Music so far!

It's still all about the 14 track standard for me. Ours and Superman definitely have deluxe written all over them, and I think the tracklist is a bit too long for me to truly appreciate the Vault songs on first play, I'll have to hear them in their own right. On first play though, When Emma Falls in Love and I Can See You were my favourites (and Castles Crumbling is the better of the two collabs).

I can't decide what I want to be the single for this TV, Electric Touch is fantastic standard radio-friendly pop (and Patrick's voice doesn't harshen the song!) but I Can See You is just... WOW. That is a breath of fresh air for Taylor.

I wonder if she’ll premiere a video at her concert tonight? The Karma video premiered at the tour with no prior announcement right?

Cos we know she filmed something with Taylor Lautner and Joey King which is obviously for this era!

Ok I’m obsessed with I can see you cheeseblock.png what a bop! I’m loving all the vaults tracks so much (bar filler one) now, she slayed with them *.*

Another couple of streaming records in the books. Her power is INSANE!

Posted by: Tafty³³³ 8th July 2023, 06:13 PM



Those numbers when put side by side is insane!

Edit: I am really, really intrigued to see what ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ numbers will be! That album got screwed initially due to the Spotify vs Taylor stuff but was eventually added part way through the campaign, to big numbers… going to be interesting!

I'm surprised Speak Now opened with higher streaming numbers than Red because I thought red was more popular.

Posted by: Ansel 8th July 2023, 09:13 PM

Those numbers really show how much Taylor's grown globally over the past year, for Fearless and Red the US made up more than half her numbers!

I've only had time for one listenthrough so far but Long Live is really standing out to me! It was never a top tier fave from the original album for me but it's really hitting rn. Everything beyond the standard tracklist feels kinda inessential (I really don't get I Can See You, hoping that clicks eventually) but I like the Hayley collab. Overall vault-wise I'd say it's Red (easily) > SN > Fearless.

Not to downplay the success bit think red had much bigger competition where loyalties would of been divided , ABBA was in week 2, Ed = was in week 3 and Little mix between us debuted that week as well , I know I was flip flopping between Taylor and LM laugh.gif

The success of Speak now TV is due to the Eras tour, her profile is higher than ever, if Speak now TV had been the first of the TVs it would have opened with 20K in the Uk and no one would have cared

I missed out on 'Fearless (TV)' signed CD's but I managed to get 'Red (TV)' signed. I was hoping she'd do it for 'Speak Now (TV)' and who knows maybe she will in a few weeks or something.

joking aside, the fact that this is still #2 on the albums is so impressive! far outperformed my expectations, i thought it would go something like 1-6-14 or something, 1-2-2 is absolutely phenominal!

comparing the first 3 weeks to the first werks of red and fearless:

sntv 1-2-2
red 1-8-8
fearless 1-7-18

wow
