How Fans Discovered ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ Was Coming.
At the beginning of July 2023, fans were already sensing that ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ was on its way. Soon after the release of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” she started a music video for a new song, “I Can See You.” At the end of the video, she was seen driving a car with the words “1989 TV” on top, hinting at the re-recording.
Some eagle-eyed Swifties even suspected a hidden message in her July 7th Instagram post from her Rhode Island beach house, where she celebrated her “Belated Independence Day” party. In the post, Swift shared a series of Polaroid pictures featuring Selena Gomez, the Haim sisters, and other friends. Swifties quickly realized that the original cover of the “1989” album was Swift’s Polaroid picture. Her summer parties in early July were also a big part of her “1989” era.
On July 28th, the Taylor Nation account shared one of the July 4th pictures again, where the singer posed in a blue dress against the ocean, with the cryptic message, “The air is getting salty.”
In the lead-up to and during the August 9th music event, fans were buzzing with anticipation as Swift dropped more hints – most notably, swapping her past four outfits for blue versions during the event.
During the August 9th announcement, she joked, “You’ve seen some good wardrobe changes on the show.”
Blue is often associated with her albums, and before the announcement, her website turned blue. It had been purple before when she promoted her “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” album.”
