Taylor Swift Announces '1989 (Taylor’s Version)' During Los Angeles Show
LOS ANGELES (NEWSnet/AP) — Taylor Swift closed the 2023 U.S. stage of her landmark Eras Tour in Los Angeles in a big way, announcing the fourth edition of her re-recording project: “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”
After playing a few tracks from her “1989” era live, the pop superstar approached the center of the stage with an acoustic guitar in hand and suggested to the audience that she had been working on something big.
“Instead of telling you about it, we’ll just show you,” she told the crowd as the screen illuminated behind her. “'1989 (Taylor’s Version)' available Oct. 27!” she cheered.
Just last month, Swift released her re-recording of “Speak Now” and soon claimed the record for the woman with the most No. 1 albums in history. The “Taylor's Version” projects were sparked by music manager Scooter Braun's purchase and subsequent sale of her early catalog.
As had been seen in many sites on the Eras Tour, Swift offered fans an array of career-spanning tracks in the show that lasted more than three hours at SoFi Stadium. Many in the crowd of 70,000 fans were dressed up in outfits that were a salute to Swift’s fashions over the years as they sang along to her greatest hits and deep album cuts.
