Comments

Jack B

I Know Places, her vocals are so much better in the re-recorded version

Lieze

Forever and always (piano version)

Rebecca

The Other Side of the Door goes so hard. She nailed the re-recording and the outro

Lauren Dawson

since the second i heard it, Wonderland TV always stuck out as being SO similar if not way better than the original!

Emily 🌻

I recently fathomed how good the rerecording of Come In With The Rain sounds.... Like are you KIDDING the production is flawless and her voice is so pretty

paulina

Immediately thought of this too !

Mia

This Love!!! It’s an opinion ive had for YEARS that this love sv kind of sounded TERRIBLE. tv really did it justice bc its such a beautiful song and now sounds 100 times better!!

natalee:)

OUT. OF. THE. WOODS. the bridge gives me chills every single time. the backing vocals and production somehow made it even better than the already perfect original. her best re-record yet.

Lan

Out of the woods (taylor's version)!

VadersPetPig

Taylor's Version: I Know Places Original: august

Chloe H

I love what she did with Girl at Home, it’s the biggest change and I think it’s her creating what she originally wanted the song to sound like

Matt

State of Grace, The Way I Loved You, Haunted, or Red ❤️💛💜❤️ nothing from 1989 tv (bungled)

Connor Bradshaw

Perhaps unpopular opinion but i really only started liking Better Than Revenge after the taylor’s version came out, i know the lyric change is controversial but i feel the production just elevates it so much and it’s become one of my favorite speak now songs because of it.

Lynny Smith

Agreed was just about to comment this! The grunt of “and we RUN” is too good

Joanna

The story of us (the guitar is illegal)

LauBR

Girl at home and hey Stephen!

Noah Dale

Safe and Sound is one of my favourite re-records because I loved the song before but her current vocals work so much better with the breathier higher range of the song. You can tell between the two versions how much her vocals have improved because she doesn’t sound like she’s straining like in the original to reach the top notes and her vocals are more supported and stronger over the entire song so it feels more ethereal and beautiful!

Renz Devaren

I Know Places, the original never did it for me, but I had a newly appreciated love for the re-recording

BenJeeBox

Red, This Love and Clean all felt so elevated and they were already such strong songs to begin with.

Jami Marie

Hey Stephen, Blank Space, and State of Grace

Alexandria

This love, the other side of the door and come in with the rain!

Emily 🌻

I used to dislike Change but now I love it because of the rerecording

Beatrix P

Out of the woods

Lynny Smith

Story of us (also think every song on speak now sounds even more incredible but this was a highlight on first listen)

Cowboy Like Evaaannn!!

So Long, London for sure!! You hear all the vulnerability, loss, reflection and anxiety in her voice and it perfectly reflects the production.

Sara Garrity

Clean TV 😭😭 do I really need to explain myself?

Dara Sofia

Oh gosh majority from 1989!! Clean, Wonderland, and especially I Know Places. The “and we RUN”???? I ASCENDED THE HEAVENS.

Niki

i think eyes open is objectively one of the best songs she has rerecorded. everything sounds so much better especially her vocals

Lynny Smith

Clean - the added magical sounds and swirling are sooo superior

sophie

this might be an unpopular opinion but i LOVE the new better than revenge its so punk rocky, she‘s enunciating everything way better and i feel like she just gave it her 200% after deciding to change the lyric so its rlly different than the og but in my opinion so much better

Noah Dale

Ummmm so long london isn’t a re-record……just fyi that’s what they’re asking for (anything from Fearless, Speak Now, Red or 1989 TV)

Adyson

From 1989 All You Had To Do Was Stay This Love I Know Places Wonderland From Red Treacherous All Too Well Come Back Be Here From Speak Now Dear John The Story Of Us BTR Haunted From Fearless Tell Me Why FOREVER AND ALWAYS PIANO VERSION You’re Not Sorry

Sammy

Absolutely this one goes to Red, the rerecord is so much more dynamic than the OG, so much clearer, and gives such a more powerful listening experience, and the “Re-eh-eh-ed”’s sound so much better, the OG ones just sound so off. Also for an album reaction recommendation, Preacher’s Daughter by Ethel Cain. You guys slay it so hard, keep up the slaytastic boots on the ground girlpop vibes🙂‍↕️❤️

lachdav

i’ve always said that the lucky one, this love, i know places, and innocent were the best in my opinion! i’m sure there are many more though.

UnicornFlower

Fearless the song sounds so good re recorded actually fearless the whole album for me is the best re recording as a whole

Brod Br

State of Grace and I know places

Noah Dale

Same! That’s why I mentioned it for their unpopular opinion video haha

Bria Bowen

I know places got upgraded. The “AND WE RUN” 🤌🏾

Sammy

Ohhhh girly you’re bold…. Couldnt agree more LMFAO

Stefanie

Out of the woods, Clean, Forever & Always (Piano Version)

Jeremiah Bell

I’d say her best are Clean, Hey Stephen, Out Of The Woods, Haunted, Wonderland (eventhough she goes “but chew were gone” 😭) Red, Fearless and The Lucky One (given what she’s experienced since singing it originally, super powerful) And her worst are unfortunately Style, WANEGBT, New Romantics (devo abt this one) and IKWBT 😭😭

Raku

Out of the Woods or State of Grace

Noah Dale

Yes! I love the grit she puts behind her voice there!

Emma Leech

I love the Mine TV. I cried the first time I heard grown up Taylor's voice singing it, the vocals are just so clear and the instrumentation is so perfect. It captures the essence of the original song but with so much more clarity

Abhay

haunted

Abhay

all of them lol

Jenna Bolmgren

I’m not sure about the “best” but I definitely heard lyrics more clearly in a lot of 1989 TV. I don’t know if she annunciated better, but it was really helpful (and made the lyrics make more sense for the story)

Marina Lozano

Out of the woods. Without a doubt. The quality of the sound is SO much better and I love Jack's vocals. Taylor sounds so much better as well!

Hannah

Haunted. But not because it’s identical (obv) but because it’s superior.

Sarah

Out of the Woods, Clean, The Last Time, Innocent, This Love, Red, Eyes Open, Safe & Sound

Tyler

I prefer Welcome to New York TV

lumera

tell me why! 🤠

Ellie

Clean, Out of the woods, Haunted and Red the best in my opinion… absolutely superior!

Chip Tovey

I Know Places. All the re-records are fantastic, but 1989 in particular feels superior to me. Of all the tracks, there’s something better and more powerful to her vocals for I Know Places.

Hayley 🫶🏻✨

Haunted and OOTW! 💜🩵 Ever since the re-records SN is one of my fave albums

Chip Tovey

Yes, for sure the Starbucks lovers disappeared. Agreed!

zoe

forever and always piano version😩 the extra breaths just make me FEEL the song

Ryls

Haunted for sureee

Lara

haunted and i know places!!

zoe

haunted taylor’s version is a banger her vocals are so much stronger

Livi

Wonderland 1989! I found this song is so much better on TV!!

Daniel_G

Mostly 1989 songs cause it my favorite album, stand out songs are Clean, this love and I know places Another standout is forever and always 😁

Rose Ellen

Clean - I adored this song since 1989 came out, but somehow Taylor and Imogen made it better. Like it was perfection before, but now it's better? Excuse me?? Honourable Mentions: Eyes Open, Welcome to NY, Change, Haunted, Girl at Home (don't hate me!)

Alice Hannah

I love most of the deep cuts on fearless - come in with the rain is one of my all time faves and her mature voice / better production really improve it I think.

Jamie Gibson

Honestly, I love the re-record of 1989 as a whole, but Style, I Know Places, Clean and Wonderland take the cake for me. It's an unpopular opinion that I think Style TV is better than the original, as is the lyric change in Better than Revenge ☺️

P D

22! Hearing her sing that all grown up is so nostalgic

Katie Stock

The other side of the door!

Cecilia Sparke

Also I Know Places, the high note she hits on 'and we run' gives me goose bumps

liv_h 🫶

Girl at home, haunted ❤️

Itcha K

CLEAN ALL THE WAYYYY

izzy

TOSOTD and OOTW for sure

Mathew

I Know Places with the growls they make the song so much better.

Itcha K

Also back to december just something about her mature vocals does something to my brain

Tefi Riveros

TOSOTD, Change, Clean, I Know Places and Haunted immediately come to mind!

Sarah G

Out of the woods!!! Jack really pulled through for this one! And then extra/more audible backing vocals in the bridge are superiorrrrr!

Lou

It makes me a little „depressed“ that I only became a fan after that whole re-recording process started. 😅 I can’t even have a controversial opinion or relate to your peep‘s opinions because I will never really now her original songs! I know I could obvsly go and listen and then compare but I don’t feel the urge to do that.. It’s just funny how I seem to lack one whole dimension of understanding her discography … :D

Justus Kerstin

i think her and Jack really killed out of the woods!! it’s just even more crisp and just ✨there✨! she also randomly absolutely slayed i know places like she gave that one her all! same goes for hey stephen! i also think she did really good with state of grace as well as the last time!

Jazzyg

Fearless! I didn't know it could get any better but when I pressed play on Fearless TV for the first time I ASCENDED

Giel

one that doesn't get talked about is 'How You Get The Girl'. The original has more of an energy of "can you take me back please", while the rerecorded version has a similar energy to "imgonnagetyouback". There is a kind of sassiness and a little bit of anger in HYGTG (tv); the difference in confidence is CRAZY. I'd like to imagine she rerecorded HYGTG at the same time as writing imgonnagetyouback, cause my girl was FEELING those lyrics in the studio. The TV is also giving musical theatre/mamma mia (Taylor can your movie please be a mamma mia-style movie with your songs)

David

The Story of Us got a big upgrade, the guitars sound so much stronger and satisfying. The run of State of Grace, Red, Treacherous is SO satisfying, she knocked it out of the park with them

JentaSarabia

I really did NOT like I Know Places before the re-records and it just sounds so superior now. But basically a of fearless and speak now because her register is so much lower now. Nicer on the ol' ears ✌️

Andy

This Love is exquisitely re-recorded. It’s the additional atmosphere as well as her stunning mature vocals. Very happy that song got some necessary spotlight in early 2022. In addition, I Know Places and Clean.. she really DID something at the end of the standard 1989 tracklist with these new versions. They are superior 🫶

Hollie

This might be an unpopular opinion but almost the whole of 1989. I spent years failing to appreciate that album until the re-record.

Giel

blank space; the fact that she didn't try to improve her enunciation, and now we have starbucks lovers (Taylor's Version)

sofie sandrini

the BEST song that has been re-recorded is 100% This Love, and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. That song has been SO elevated. Shit. That song… no dont talk to me about but do talk to me ABOUT IT. Play the versions and HEAR it ahhhh. Its so so so good. (Fearless, the album I think is the best re-recording in terms of the re-recorded songs we knew before. She sings that shit with SAME but elevated vocals.)

ton

Wonderland and SIO are the two that changed my ranking from the re records. Also the videos she made for the lyrics like Love Story TS, YBWM (dance in PJs) Best Day, Ronan, long live, wildest dreams and Clean

ton

SIO with more hooooorrrrns 🤣

Kyle

Change, OOTW, AYHTDWS

Lia

I KNOW PLACES!!!!!!!!!!! The vocals, the production, everything. Also, THIS LOVE!!!

Nick Salgado

Clean and The Other Side of the Door. Insane vocal prowess and production!

Kristen Walker

Back to December all the way! Her vocals are insane, and the production is 1000000x better. The last chorus/outro gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it! And Clean is a completely different song, it was one of my faves before on 1989, but it got SUCH an upgrade! Treacherous has always been in my top 5 on Red so I had high expectations, and she exceeded them too! The ones I love the most feel like the production got fuller and complement her smoother vocals. Makes me SO excited for Debut TV!

em ⊹˚. ♡

This Love or the Other Side of the Door!

Miner

Out Of The Woods is top tier re-recorded.

Cam

Clean. I remember Bonny saying the re-recorded version sounds so much more layered and multidimensional compared to the original and I couldn't agree more. The production elevates it so much. It's just perfect.

Cam

yesss same

marie

I KNOW PLACES !!!!!!!!!!! that growl she makes at « AND WE RUN » istg it gets me everytime

Olivia Haddock

Fearless, Hey Stephan, Change, Back to December, I Know Places and Clean

Noemi

I know places is THE BEST rerecord

ruby

For sure Cleannnn!! Used to be quite low on my ranking due to me not feeling the need to listen very often, but ever since 1989TV I could NEVER skip it and its in my top 20 Tay songs of all time. Ultimately, I think it comes down to the depth of the new production as well as her insane vocal progression

Cam

TOSOTD got such an upgrade as well

Emma

I Know Places 1000%

Jackson

Forever and Always piano version, girl at home, you are in love

Rajdeep Kang

This Love!!!! so underrated but subjectively the best re-record

MarkH

Haunted! The reverb (or whatever the echoey space in the song is called) finally made Bonny fathom, so that counts as hard evidence!

Gemma

Haunted!

Hayden Brice

I know places!! The new mix just 👨‍🍳😘

Green Wolf Gaymer

Honestly, all the songs I feel are re-recorded better you've said in your reaction videos: Change (that ending note) The Last Time (mixed better) Haunted (what I lose in voice quiver on the first verse, I gain echoes) Clean. (you said it perfectly, it's multi-dimensional, and boy does Imogen go off after the bridge)

Rosanne

Safe & Sound !!!!!!!

Rosanne

The Last Time!!!!

Emma Granfelt

Out Of The Woods, I Know Places and Treacherous

Ingrid Henriksen

Definitely The Way I Loved You!! She’s not staining her voice to be as loud as the music, in tv she is on a team with guitar and drums! Love it

Florence Lambert

Forever and always !! In my opinion, vocals are better and enhanced the song without removing the nostalgia

Swiftie_triomixer

The mixing in the TV makes «Tell me why» a more enjoyable listening experience for me, I love that we can hear each instrument/part of the production more clearly in a song like «this love TV»

Drey Szabó

Out of the woods, no doubt. It was 10/10 before, and it became 20/10 when she re-recorded it With something like Fearless the album, of course her vocals are so much better so it’s unsurprising that technically most all the songs give a better listening experience but with 1989, it was so unexpected for OOTW to not only hit the mark but be twice as smashing as before

Julieta

Wildest dreams and practically all of fearless

Almq

Something in the production of out of the woods has completely murdered me. I’ve never been a ootw Stan, but now it’s almost all I listen to from 1989

Roxyy

Fearless, Hey Stephen, Tell Me Why for Fearless | Mine, Better Than Revenge, If This Was A Movie for Speak Now | State of Grace, Red for Red | Out of the Woods, Wonderland for 1989

Lefty

Change. The production is a bit cleaner but Taylor’s vocals got a massive glow up compared to the original

lucinda 🪐

Out of the woods and treacherous for sure. Her voice has developed so much over the years and her deeper smoother tone makes these songs sound sooooo good.

Claire

Either forever and always piano version, this love or OOTW!

Alberto

Red and The Way I Loved You. So much better.

Brooke

dear john and red!

NotNate8

The Last Time and I Know Places are my faves! I didnt listen to them much before but they've been at the top of my rankings since the rerecords came out. ❤️🩵

Alex LaMotte

Well I said on the last post that new romantics was my favorite song and I didn't feel as good about the re-recording, my SECOND favorite song truly makes up for it. Out of the Woods sounds so much more full and vibrant and really just encapsulates that feeling of anxiety so much more effectively!

NotNate8

Their mature vocals + the better mixing in The Last Time is perfection. IDK what it is about I know Places but it scratches my brain perfectly, especially the growl ☺️

Annika 📍Melb, AU

Clean 😭 True to the original and now can hear even more of the superior sounds 😭😭😭

Annika 📍Melb, AU

I was so unwell over The Last Time (TV obvi) in the last week of the Eras Tour 😭

Eloise

TOSOTD

Daisy Watton

Safe & Sound! Not only the vocals but the production is sooo good on the re-recording!!

moon and saturn

I hate how much this fandom sleeps on Safe and Sound 😮‍💨 especially after she gave us an even more SUPERIOR re-record

Layan

The way I looooveeddd youuuuu

Natalie Clark

Forever and always piano version or you're not sorry

eeeee

✨This Love✨ the og sounds a bit creepy now especially in headphones because of the double panned vocals The TV is superior in like everyway👍😘✅👌

Antonia

OUT OF THE WOODS!

praveen

The way i loved you tv - simply outperformed every expectation it was THAT GOOD ❤️

Emma

Long Live!! Especially when she says "Im not afraid"

Heidi Muller

Oh it has to be Clean. The build up, the crisp production. Got goosebumps the first time hearing it. Immaculate.

rowan

MINE!!!, the other side of the dorrrr, TWILY, the last time, back to december, tsou, haunted, safe and sound, eyes open, this love, fearless, superstar, today was a fairytale, tell me why, RED

rowan

clean and ootw

rowan

treacherouss

Dillon Hayes-Pelletier

Clean!!! The og I never really cared for and the re-recorded version grew on me quickly!! Also this love did the same thing to me too!!

rowan

hygtg

JL Schultz

I know places - if you know you know

Grace

fearless, state of grace, red, ootw

Sebastian

Back to december IS Superior! Out of the woods and Clean are elevated in the production I know places has that second scream of “we run” that got me chills.

Chloé

Out of the woods !! For me it never was a song that really stood out to me but the Taylor’s version was so clear and it really made me appreciate the song way more !!

Carissa

Just the whole fearless album in her mature voice is so nice to hear. You’re not sorry sounds so good

moza

THIS LOVE FOR SURE!!!! The production takes me to another realm

moza

Clean and This love!!!!

Gustav Lucas

OOTW, I feel like the harmonies have been emphasised somehow at the end, especially at 3:18 and 3:40!

Jacob Zammitt

Literally all of them! I reckon some stand outs are Change, Dear John, Tell Me Why, TOSOTD, The Last Time, OOTW, TWILY, Haunted I better stop there I could go on for ages haha

Hannah Bessette

BTR for sure. The updated lyrics really helped the song evolve into a better narrative whilst still retaining the cathartic rage she felt when she first wrote it

veki

THIS LOVE!!! Literally stolen version accidentally came on shuffle the other day and I was like WHAT THE HELL IS THAT she really elevated that song to another level

Katy Lankenau

I think Welcome to NY is soooo much better in Taylor's Version! I love this crazy "galopping" beat/percussion when it gets to "it's a new soundtrack..." aaaah!! Sooo good!! And the harmonies are much clearer, so supeeeriooor!!!! 🎶🙌

Timothy

Red, Out of The Woods, I Know Places, State Of Grace, Fearless, Hey Stephen, Sad Beautiful Tragic, Enchanted, The Story of us and This Love.

Mariana

Fearless TV sounds so much better!

Anna Brooks

Other side of the door and Clean!!

Aniluj Baro

all of speak now!!! especially haunted, btd, the story of us, and honorable mention of twily

Lia

EYES OPEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

angelina

Other side of the door!!!!!

Bobhog

Better than revenge!!!! I don’t even mind the lyric change. All the things that’s been added to it elevates it! I LOVE it now!

Dion Jackson Jr.

I think Fearless is practically the same as the original but purrrfect

Honey

I became a proper fan of Taylor in 2020 when folklore was released and the rerecordings project began. So my experience of Fearless TV and all TVs subsequent are essentially my first proper experience of these albums and so I don’t have any prior reference to which to compare them to! Except for Love Story and Better Than Revenge which did listen to at the time they originally came out and so hearing the rerecorded versions was strange at first but at the same time I wasn’t wedded to any original version so all fine in the end :)

Ran

I can’t choose it all fearless and red for me The worst will be 1989

Ran

Forever and always piano version and red

DemiMarie🤍🖤

I gotta say imo Enchanted, I Know Places, Wonderland, Hey Stephen and Treacherous are some of the best, her vocals are just top tier in these 🥲🫶🏻

Laura Carrillo

i knew you were trouble! it sounds even better than before, and i don’t know why. i was never that obsessed with it but since taylor’s version i totally am! every other song re recorded sounds amazing or better. i didn’t comment last time because she didn’t miss on any!

Jordan 🌻

I never fathomed I Know Places until the TV came out. I love both versions of 1989, but feeling like you’re finally having a moment with a song that you grew up with is such an amazing bonus that the TVs provide. 💕

Holly Baines

Best re recorded song in my opinion is fearless, she’s just perfect and I love her. BUUT song I like better re recorded is deffo better than revenge!! I just love how clear and front and deep her voice sounds on it!

subtle reads

Out of the Woods, Tell Me Why, Hey Stephen, Superstar, AYHTDWS, Sad Beautiful Tragic, The Last Time, Come Back Be Here, Wonderland

Daniel

Honestly You're Not Sorry, This Love, Jump Then Fall, and Haunted for the increased quality of the vocals

Giovanna Sicchio

I felt the same way as Bonnie about Haunted and now Haunted TV is everythinggg

Julia Fisher

OUT OF THE WOODS!! Was incredible & now it’s even better

Hannah

It’s so interesting to see some of the same songs here as in the one that doesn’t live up to it. Goes to show that some of the ones with the biggest differences also have to most polarising opinions which is natural.

Siren

i think clean and innocent sound amazing rerecorded

Abby

I have to say treacherous, it is so crisp and clear now and when that bridge takes you, it really takes you

Becky

In my opinion Hey Stephen and Jump then Fall are the best.

dotty

Hey Stephen TV is simply superior

marta k.

i still don’t know what i think about better than revenge lyrics change but the stolen version compared to tv feels kind of slowed down?? and for that reason i prefer tv, it’s so much better

Marcelo Gouveia

I don't care about what people say the eletric guitar in Style TV is waaaay more superior

Grace Olivia

This Love is on another level!! Also Fearless, I Know Places and Speak Now. * I’m scared for Dress TV …

Sofia F

I know places!

Courtney McAlexander

OOTW, I know places, and This Love. Popular picks but for a reason, IMHO

Chris H

I actually think Bad Blood sounds better also Enchanted

Rachel P.

Clean! The background vocals are on another level in the re-record!

Shaun

Out Of The Woods - I feel like the production feels heightened? And I Know Places just for that new "and WE RUN"

Starbuck1234!

Out of the woods, the last time, I know places.

Lara G

i love red and fearless title track!!

P D

Bonny fathoming this song on the re-recorded version is more proof it got such a good big upgrade

Dominic Cuomo

I’d say the majority of Red album

nikki

Adding to the chorus of people saying “I Know Places.” The “and we run” made my jaw drop. I also think all of Fearless and Speak Now are improved because her vocals are just stronger overall. I cannot wait to hear Debut with her more mature, smoother vocals! I also want to add “Never Grow Up” because it hits different (haha) listening to grown up Taylor sing it. I feel after all she has experienced (and all us fans have experienced in our own lives), that song takes on a whole new meaning now.

Sam B

OOTW and Clean

khushi04

clean 😭😭😭😭 my baby is so precious

Courtney

Maybe underrated but I finally appreciated Come In With The Rain after TV was released 💛 I Know Places went to another level for me too 🩵

Jas

Fearless!! Pressing play on the first rerecorded album and Those first iconic notes of the fearless intro sent me right back to the original it was the moment I knew that the rerecords were going to be perfection✨️

Becca

Haunted

Cassidy

RED (the song)

Cody

Eyes Open and Girl At Home!! Red TV gave me a new appreciation for the album! I’ve always thought it was a superior album, but I just fathomed it so much after the rerelease!!

Bridget Miranda

THIS LOVE!!! Used to be one of my least favorite Taylor songs and the re-recorded version completely changed that and now it’s easily in my top 50. Taylor’s version sounds so much more open, sweeping, and emotional to me

Chris Kelly

Out of the Woods and Clean. She knew they needed to be perfect and they are.

Izzy

Change tv sounds SO MUCH BETTER than the original, I know that you guys are not change fans but I personally enjoy the re-recorded version so much more. 🫶🏼💛

Amy

This Love—hands down

Mads

This Love and The Other Side of the Door (the outro is even more 🔥)

Samuel Picaso

MINE was already in my top 3 Taylor songs of all time, but TV really catapulted it to my #1 spot, which I know is a very unpopular opinion. Hearing the instrumentation in HD really did something to me in addition to hearing her more mature vocals. Same with RED TV. It wasn’t originally anywhere in my top 50, but TV bangs so much harder and it sent the song straight into my top 5. Other honorable mentions include, The Way I Loved You, Wonderland, Clean, I Know Places, Treacherous and I Almost Do

Geneva

WONDERLAND. I will be taking no further feedback thank you

Olivia🐱

Tell Me Why, Hey Stephen, This Love, Change

Ruby Deeth

gasped when i heard ayhtdws cause it sounded so good

Kayleigh

Definitely ‘Hey Stephen’ for me, It was always the skip for me on Fearless, no idea what they did to the Taylor’s Version but it sounds so good now 👌🏻

Leanna Price

Style was an adjustment at first and now that I get it I GET IT BABE. Style TV is better ✨ for me ✨

Brooke Noelle

Forever & Always (Piano) re-record is absolutely superior! • I Know Places - that WE RUN, I meannnn • State of Grace - the drums sound much fuller now • Breathe - I love the mixing of their voices together in TV

Karo

Clean!

zachy

my tears ricochet (long pond version) 🩶

sydney

Out of the woods is masterful

sydney

Somehow state of grace is more perfect

sydney

Clean is just…

Jordan

Sad Beautiful Tragic tbh

chel

Omg better than revenge tv is SO good!!! the adlibs on that song are insane.

M

RED ❤️‍🔥

Sara Rose

Forever & Always Piano Version!!

Savvy

Clean All you had to do was stay

Jed C

Tell me why is the BEST re-recorded song by a far stretch

Meg A.

Haunted

Tina Lang

The way I loved you is the song that I kind of neglected in the OG Fearless but fell in love with in the TV. Taylor’s adult vocal and the upgraded production make it sound more intense and reckless. (The way she sings “cursing your name” I’m obsesssssed)

Brianna Washington

Innocent TV completely turned me around on the song!! something about her being in her 30s singing it got me

Brianna Washington

also the last time tv!!! are you kidding me it’s so good

caila

tell me why!

Kathryn O'Brien

All You Had To Do Was Stay! I was convinced she’d not be able to replicate the high-pitched, “STAY”, but blonde nailed it 👏🏻

Mendy

CLEANNNNN ICONIC CLEAN

Kathryn O'Brien

Also, I Know Places - the addition of the 1989 tour growl when she sings, “And we R-RUN!”, at the end of the second pre-chorus was very welcomed 🐯

ella 💜

Out of the Woods and Haunted!! Seriously love the echoy vocals and more present background vocals

Nele

Wonderland, Haunted

Sam

OUT OF THE WOODS.

Amanda Laura

The Other Side of the Door! I always loved that one but it sounds much better with her older and more polished vocals to me

Nicole F

I Almost Do - specifically for the voice break on "you're tOUCHing my face" in the bridge

Martina

This love

elisabeth

I literally hated og girl at home and the production but I agree the new one is fun and different and I actually listen to it !!!

Sydney

Girl At Home

Leijette Riopel

Forever and Always Piano version, The Way I Loved You, Never Grow Up, State of Grace, All Too Well, the 5-minute Version - The downbeat when the music comes in after “in your drawer, even now” literally made me cry the first time I heard it.) Out of the Woods, All You Had to Do was Stay, I Know Places, Clean, and Wonderland.

scout

well the biggest one for me has to be better than revenge. i know some people are attached to the original lyric which i totally understand, but i personally think the change fits perfectly. i never really cared about the acoustic version of state of grace that much to be honest till taylor’s version came out and i had a refathoming and now i’m obsessed with it! lastly~ a lot of the new versions just sound fuller and crisper! and i think i notice it most with change, mine, and red.

Nicky

For me, the song I love so much more in the re-record is Bad Blood. I feel like there is so much more feeling in her vocals now, and personally I like to imagine that’s because she’s now singing about Scott borchetta rather than a silly feud with katy perry. It hits so much harder and I love it - previously it was a skip

Taylor

Clean, Out of the Woods, Treacherous

Sam

Out of the Woods, I Know Places, The Last Time, This Love spring to mind.

Ally ❤️

The glow up on Out of The Woods cannot be denied!! That said, Fearless (the song) and Never Grow Up also bring me to tears.

Allison V

most of Fearless TV improved the most out of the other albums

Noah Hanson

Welcome To New York, Out of the Woods, Bad Blood (feat Kendrick), Mine, and Long Live are miles better than the original!

Brandon Yip

Out Of The Woods, Clean and You Are In Love were 3 of the best re-recorded songs that come to mind On 1989, I use to skip Clean (sorry Emily) and You Are In Love because the songs were not very fast (I also began to like Taylor's music during the 1989 era but wasn't a full blown fan yet); the Taylor's Versions helped me fathom, and I now call 1989 TV a 113% skipless album 🩵

Juliana Martinez

better than revenge!! even though the lyric changed, the production and her vocals are so much stronger and angrier haha!

Juliana Martinez

the story of us. while the guitar sounds at the beginning are definitely so different (they're higher pitched or something) the production and her vocals are so much stronger and hit the notes better!

elaina

OUT OF THE WOODS 100%

Holly

back to december and out of the woods 10000000%

angel (plnkblue)

while i mourn the lyric change, i LOVE the way better than revenge tv amplifies the drums, guitars, and all of her sassy little adlibs in the background. it truly feels like an angsty pop rock banger at full throttle now.

Chelsea Brown

Fearless: Love Story sounds perfect; Breathe with Colbie's elevated harmonies Speak Now: The elevated background vocals and ad-libs in Better Than Revenge Red: 22 is a 1:1 re-creation 1989: Welcome to New York; This Love tv is beautiful and hits so hard; Clean (you can hear Imogen!)

madison martin

state of grace, i know places, wonderland, fearless, back to december

Bran

I want to say Haunted because I’m biased.. but realistically probably the way I loved you!

Autumn Atencio

fearless the song, really all of fearless has major major improvement but something about the way you can hear everything so clear during fearless is beautiful

Alyssaa

I am obsessed with love story tv. The change when she says “so close your eyes” hits

matt

Fearless (the album). Literally every song improved a lot.

Mika B

Out of the woods !! I really really love the different melody at the end when she sings "are we out of the woods yet are we out of the woods yet.." it's cool

anna

State of grace, back to December, out of the woods, fearless

anna

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DOOR

William

The last time no question, I can hear them and the instrument more clearly and especially I like the way taylor flow of the lyrics better now, I always like the song, now it my favourite song on red tv.

Carson Delmoe

MINE. the vocals are some of her best I’ve ever heard.

Gina Gould

This might be controversial but I prefer the Girl at Home re-recorded version!

Michaela

Out of the woods and I wish you would!

Hana Mechurova

Out of the woods and most of the Red album, her deeper voice works so well with the songs

Heather Gunn

Clean, Out of the Woods, Stay Stay Stay (b/c i hated it b4 it was rerecorded but now i tolerate it)

MBrand

Today Was A Fairytale ☺️

boliaam

Haunted is definitely my favorite (the layers, the echoes, the haunting sound???), it was already my favorite on Speak Now, but now no song comes even close to it. Clean, Red, Wonderland and Treacherous are also up there for me!

Persef

Probably Clean

Regina Phalange

TREACHEROUS!!!!! (the vocal delivery, the backing vocals in the repeated bridge) but also the fact it sounds the SAME somehow

Jaimie C

Clean and Out of the Woods...the additional production elements take them to another level and they feel more connected now. And I'd have to say Haunted...I felt like Bonny before with the OG and now the mix with electric guitars is superior

Esther Newman

Out of the Woods, The Way I Loved You and This Love

Judith

Out of the Woods ❤️

Chelsea Brown

And Bad Blood remix!!! Kendrick came out swinging

C

Tell Me Why ("you ask me for my LOOOVE" goes fucking insane in the tv), Forever & Always (piano), and Hey Stephen sound better. Something about her mature vocals make Hey Stephen more listenable for me as an adult. When Fearless came out I loved that song but didn't return to it much until the re-recording. Red and I Almost Do are great, and as the #1 Eyes Open stan since the day the song came out I can confidently say the re-recording of that song is incredible! She changed the way she sings "keep your" in the bridge and I always sing it that way now even if I'm listening to the original

Abe

Improved tracks: 1. I Know Places (AND WE RUN) 2. Change (that high note) 3. Out Of The Woods - sound emotional and powerful 4. Sad Beautiful Tragic (that background vocals are much more vibrant and thus sad) 5. Sparks Fly - those vocals!

Ariana B

Literally all of them. The improved vocals alone are worth the price of admission.

Nicole

CHANGE

Bailey

- sparks fly (omg it’s soooo perfect) - STYLE!!! Idk why it gets so much hate😭😭😭😭😭 - enchanted

Sacred_sunflower

Agree sparks fly soars with the matured vocals!! And better than revenge she goes crazy!! And in the same vein… story of us!! Ugh I adore pop rock Taylor, like hello HAUNTED! there was a fathoming had by Bonnie I believe 🧛‍♀️

Bailey

FOREVER AND ALWAYS PIANOOOOO VERSION

CRB

I'd say the entirety of Red and Fearless! The rerecords helped me fathom these 2 albums so much especially since they were not my favourites to begin with. Speak Now was already one of my favourites before TV but with the matured vocals and the vault tracks it soared so much. 1989 TV is my baby and Style is definitely one of the better rerecorded versions with I Know Places and Wonderland

moon

out of the woods - the clarity and intensity of the percussion is superior!! i know places - idk how to explain but the instrumentation is just less brash than the og (i say this as an i know places stan!!)

CRB

I love This Love TV. It is so much better than the original version but sadly I feel it got overshadowed with Midnights and being released earlierp

Allie

I think All Too Well, Red and State of Grace are just masterpieces. She really nailed Red Taylor’s Version❤️

Dorka

Red, Out of the Woods

Ava Demassio

This Love!!! the production feels different and her voice is more prominent. I never had any feelings about this song until Taylor’s Version and now it’s one of my favs on 1989!!!

Sofitaw

so controvertial but... I like Style more now

Jessica

Wonderland.. i hated the original recording, but absolutely fell in love with the re-recorded version! Also, the entire album of Speak Now, This Love, Out of the Woods, and You Are In Love

Mimi

If this was a movie💛

Prapti

Better than revenge.

Pix

I never liked I Know Places but Taylor's version somehow made me fall in love with it like her little growl? so hot

SandyK

Style!!

Tess7

Haunted, Out Of The Woods and Clean I think Most of the vaults on Red are better too :)

Tess7

I am pre voting for Tied Together With A Smile because I can not wait for that one 😊

Abby

story of us!! easily. the guitar in the re-record is illegally good

Jasmine

most of red is superior as taylor's version (i also love the new girl at home more than the original)

Isabel Victoria

The Last Time & Safe and Sound! Those two particular collabs sound so much better to me on the re-records

Dhruvil Desai

Unpopular opinion but girl at home. The original sounded like a demo with how little there is going on production wise the taylor's version made it so much better.

libby

I KNOW PLACES AND OUT OF THE WOODS!!!!

Mavi💖

Out of the woods!!! The way it reached new levels of superiority when it was already so good needs to be studied. A close second for me is Better than Revenge, the background vocals and ad-libs at the end are so good!!!

Lea

Haunted, that intro is *chef's kiss* illegal

Claire Williams

if this was a movie and you belong with me!!!!

alex

So true!

Laura

I started to list them and then realized I like ALL of them better except for Begin Again. If I had to pick my top 3, it would be Out of The Woods, I Know Places, and All Too Well.

alex

She really did something with an already perfectly produced song🥹

Trinity

Yes Style sounds so much better. I wasn't a fan of the original but love the TV version

Trinity

Something about Wonderland just got better but I don't know how it already was perfect

Lucie S

I think I know places, The Last Time, Last Kiss and If this Was a Movie are even more perfect than they were Also most of fearless for me thanks to the new vocals 🥰

serena

i know places and you are in love

Katariina Blom

I know places and Wonderland jumped up so high for me. They just hit harder now. I also think Out of the woods is even more perfect, as if that’s even possible. 🩵 Some others I think are fantastic are both Fearless and Red the songs, and the story of us!

Petra

you are in love🩵 there’s something about the maturity of her voice that made that song resonate with me on a whole new level🫶🏼

daisy

the other side of the door! the re-recorded outro is so much better than the original and same with the forever and always vocals in the last chorus

Marieke

You Belong With Me & Clean! 🤍

sarah

i think most of the comments resonate with my opinions so i am going to throw a hear me out out there… 🙈 the snippet we have of DELICATE tv’s bridge immediately made me care more for the song. there is a synth in the back that plays a resolving key and they made it so much louder on taylors version, and her vocals are so clear. something about the bridge on og didn’t hit quite right for me but that new production!!!

Jackie

I know places!

James Pullara

OOTW is definitely the best re-recorded song out there! Jack somehow topped his own perfection with that one. Runners up have to be You Are In Love and Haunted

Audrie

I know places!! the growl in her voice on the second to last “and we run” line, specifically in the re-recorded version is SOOO SUPERIOR!!!

thebuttermelts

Bad Blood and Sad Beautiful Tragic became brand-new songs for me

sav

you are in love this love

Sean

I'm gonna cheat and say that almost all of Fearless is significantly improved by the higher quality audio and production! I heard the original Love Story not too long ago and was taken aback by how flat the production sounds compared to the re-recording. They just didn't have the budget or the technology back then to make things as full as today's music sounds. This isn't as true for the other 3 re-recordings IMO, but it makes me very excited for what the production on Debut TV might sound like Edit: You can also REALLY hear it in the chorus of the OG Way I Loved You. The production sounds so THIN

Josh

The Way I Loved You sounds sooo much better in the re-recorded version. I don’t know how to explain it. The re record like rewires my brain and I get lost in it when she sings the chorus and then goes soft into the bridge and back yelling into th chorus again. I think it’s the production and the elevated vocals she has in the re-recording. My favorite song to just scream the lyrics to

Ethan Nguyen

ALL OF FEARLESS HOLY SHIT AND THEN SAD BEAUTIFUL TRAGIC AND THIS LOVEEEEE

Trillionaire

Even though I never heard the original

Kende Major-Kiss

DEFINITELY GIRL AT HOME. IT'S SO SO SOOO UNDERRATED. THE STOLEN VERSION DOES NOT FASCINATE ME, HOWEVER THE TAYLOR'S VERSION REALLY DOES. I AM A STAN :). (although it's sad that it wasn't a surprise song)

Rachel

I had always known and liked Red (the song) but after TV it’s been consistently in my top 15 Taylor songs of all time

Lauren

TELL ME WHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and girl at home... i will die on this hill

Leney

if you imagine rerecorded Girl At Home as a Chappell Roan-esque song its actually pretty good

Laura carter

I think 'So high school' and 'peter' are up there for me, the instrumental in the back really matches the tone of the lyrics and themes of both songs and the feeling I get when I listen to them is simply perfection.

André Salles

for me Haunted is the best rerecording, from every point of view but especially from a technical/production one. it sounds fuller and richer and much more mature than the original, finally living up to the expansive and overdramatic lyrics. it’s the most superior rerecording we’ve gotten yet in my opinion!

David BigBozz

The way I loved you is chef kiss 🤌💋 But I mean most of Fearless

Alice Woodfield

It HAS to be Clean! Literally made me fall in love with the song even more than I was before, and something about the production sounds so crisp and her vocals are just improved so much.

Teri M

Wow, great question. I'm a huge fan of most of 1989 TV. I would say the best is probably OOTW. Also, State of Grace from Red is amazing.

Teri M

Those aren't rerecorded songs though

Kailey's Corner

GIRL AT HOME, I know I know you ladies are not of the same opinion, but to me it went from a skip to a bop in a way that felt fresh and fun. It fits with the parts of Red that lean pop now where as before I felt it fell between genres in a way that felt unintentional, like almost unfinished, but I never skip it now. I Know Places & Out of the Woods are also so elevated imo!! (Honestly most of 1989, she really did something there, did not realize perfection could be improved upon in such a way!!) And I would also have to say all of Fearless just based on the fact that her mature vocals elevate the entire record so much. It’s so clear and bright and warm, idk. It has space to breathe now, feels like a warm breeze. I can’t wait for Debut TV for many reason but mainly this reason. It’s going to be amazing.

Sara Kolsan

Basically every song on Fearless! They're all so perfected and just sound so wonderful. I always wondered if I was biased in thinking Fearless was the best quality with rerecorded songs because I was still beginning getting into all of her albums when Fearless TV came out and so all I really remembered of original Fearless was from listening to a handful of songs when I was younger. But I happened to get a CD of the original Fearless as a Christmas present last year and listening to that shows me how much I wasn't biased (love that version but Taylor's Version is definitely such an improvement)! Specifically Forever & Always and Tell Me Why feel more polished and smoother (in the vocals for both, also the production for Tell Me Why) in Taylor's Version. Also I love Girl At Home (Taylor's Version)! I know opinions are mixed but I just think it's such a bop and that even though I don't usually particularly like club type songs, the production is just so varied and fun to listen to. I think I also got more attached to the song the more I saw people saying the original version was better lol, so that's one part

Karen Valentino

I liked Girl at Home and still like it now. If you think about it, she made that song just two years after singing Better Than Revenge, and the themes couldn’t be more different. She learned a lot in two years. Sonically, it’s really the older songs and albums that have benefitted most from advances in digital recording. So GaH gets my vote.

Diamond

I think this might be an unpopular opinion but I loved all of fearless tv. It really made me love a lot of the songs more

Alexa

Out Of The Woods for sure!! The bridge sends me into a mental breakdown every time I listen to it…the prominence of the backing vocals!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

Kent

The Other Side of the Door!! I've always liked it but it just sounds soooo perfect in Fearless TV! It's in my top 10 of all time for sure

grace, esq.

Babe!!! nobody loves her like me 💔 WHAT ABOUT YOUR PROMISES PROMISES

Alyssa Kay

This Love 💙- I never really listened to this song before the rerecorded version came out which is when I absolutely fell in love with this song. I think after I went back to listen what the original version sounded like just to see if I could figure out why I never noticed this song before. I'm not sure how to describe the difference between the original and taylor's version, but I think it's the vocals and the instrumentals that are different. This Love (Taylor's Version) is now in my top 5 Taylor songs and is my alarm every morning because I find the opening instrumentals to be a soothing way to wake up. The Last Time ❤️- I was always a fan of this song, but the rerecording definitely made me love this song even more! I think Taylor's mature vocals and Gary Lightbody's vocals are so freaking beautiful together.

sierra

clean. never vibed with it til taylor’s version. also the story of us is sooo good. AND tell me why

SomDrum

I always thought Never Grow Up was such a sweet song, but Never Grow Up TV makes me melt into an instant puddle

kate

maybe not the top of the list in terms of all the re-recorded songs but one of the biggest jumps for me was shake it off — the horn in TV is soooooo much better and i love that song so much more than i used to

Jennifer Tinn

Songs that sound better in the re-records are Hey Stephen and Wonderland!

Laura Pacheco

i think the album fearless is definitely better as a whole! i do miss the sound of her voice at that age because it definitely evokes more emotion (especially in songs like the best day or fifteen), but i find the taylor’s version to be an easier listening experience because the vocals and production are much more mature and polished.

Jessikah

I Know Places is so much better vocally!

Amanda P

Fearless, I know places, the way I loved you, clean!! honestly love all of them with her more mature voice 🫶🏼 also all too well 10 production >>> OG all too well!

Faith

They did AMAZING re-recording Out of the Woods, it sounds so similar to the original but the vocals seem slightly more crisp which is so pleasing to hear. Fearless TV made me appreciate and understand this album so much more than I was able to in the past. A few other special mentions are Clean, Red (they did so well matching the sounds of this album also but creating a more satisfying balance between the vocals and production), Everything has Changed, and New Romantics (fire before, still fire).

GoldRush31

Maybe it’s the Eras Tour influence but Long Live TV is just the best.

Alyssaa

Love story tv is so much better, like the difference when she says “so close your eyes” kills me it’s so good

Jalen O’Grady

This Love is deeply so insane in terms of re-recording, her vocals are ten times better and I almost feel like the emotion is conveyed better, the production is tighter, UGH it’s just so good

Jalen O’Grady

The way I loved you sounds soooo much tighter and her mature vocals make it feel so genuine idk it’s just great.

Jalen O’Grady

Wonderland TV has added harmonies that make that build up so incredible. I can’t explain how much I love that re-record

sophie

the other side of the door!!!!

Adam

This might be a random one but Wonderland TV is milessss better than the original. I used to never care for the song but the re-record has made it probably my top 5 on 1989

Sophia Biasi

honestly most of fearless sounds SOO much better, i don’t know how to describe it but each song sounds so much more full and well rounded. when i listen to the OG fearless on vinyl it sounds like 1st drafts of the songs 😂

Jessica F

I really love Clean TV, I feel like I can hear everything so much clearer

Emmie Kruger

Controversially - I have grown to really love Style (TV), the original already was able to make me instantly feel better and I feel that even more now. I instantly want to dance 😅 I also do prefer the new Girl at Home which I know someone mentioned on the controversial opinions video.

Christina

Out of the woods TV!! The production going into the bridge is insaneeee. This wasn’t a song a gravitated towards a ton in the past but now I’m obsessed. Also Fearless TV I think just because it was the first re-recorded song we heard and it immediately brought tears to my eyes 😭 and I love the sharper/cleaner production and her mature vocals 🥹

Hayden

and if i said girl at home? 😏 lol but clean by far!

Lauren Lapierre

CLEAN! Imogene’s vocals, the sounds, omg it’s amazing

Kjersti

I know places, especially «and we run»

Aubrey

I think This Love's production is better than the original. It made me fall in love with the song!

Ivy

Truly it is Sad Beautiful Tragic!!! This song soars in the rerecord, it is so rich and stunning.

Takara

I KNOW PLACES !!!! It was already a fav off 1989 and the re-record made me ascend

Takara

You get it

Hannah

Forever & Always 🫶🏻

Emma Cooley

Definitely different but love TV even better: Back to December The Story of Us Out of the Woods I Know Places The Way I Loved You Perfect replicas: Fearless The Best Day The Other Side of the Door State of Grace Speak Now Blank Space Shake it Off

Bailey

Forever and always <3

Bailey

FEARLESS :,)🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻

alex

Same!!

Reema TH

I think fearless tv the album better then the og fearless and I hate the lyric change on better then revenge

Ben Lodge

the song red is re-recorded really well!!!

Ben Lodge

sad beautiful tragic

Ben Lodge

out of the woods

Cassy

i almost do!! her vocals are soooo much better

Archie Kropidlowski

im not gonna lie i acc think that enchanted is the best re-record like maturity of her voice and the belt at the end of the bridge is so good and tbh like all of speak now and fearless are just so good

Mia Morgan

I love Fearless the song, and generally most songs on Fearless sound amazing to me now! Soeak Now as well, her voice and the instrumental production are lovely

Cheri

Hey Stephen or Out of the Woods:) but almost all are superior! One Ed collaboration is not good:( sorry!

Anna

Starlight, it’s so much clearer

ANNA

CLEAN. Sounds like it went through the washing machine. So crisp

AshZ

Basically anything from speak now for me and change from fearless

Sammi

EYES OPEN

Sammi

I know places 💕

Sammi

Allll of red TV

Mia Gregorio

god, all of fearless and speak now are immaculate ! and more specifically ikywt; the last time; state of grace; wonderland and clean

Belle Murray

Definitely I Know Places!! And How You Get the Girl. 1989 got a glow up for me ✨

Linds K

Forever and Always Piano Version! She really perfected that one 🎹

Ben Abram

Tell me why. No where near my favorite re-recording but objectively had one of the best most noticeable improvements in production & vocals

Aimee

All you had to do was stay. Weird flex but it’s incredible.

Annie

Safe and Sound! This is because The Civil Wars are no longer together as a band and I’m devastated as they were my favorite artist. They broke up in 2013, and the fact that she got them to work together on this project amazes me and shows me the power of Taylor.

Nicole Gordon

Wonderland, followed closely by OOTW and Clean. But OOTW and Clean were always amazing and Wonderland hit a whole different level with the re-record.

Nick S

HAUNTED & Wonderland!!! Many songs have improvements, but these two songs I went from disliking to loving with the rerecords.

Nick S

Agreed!

ton

Interesting. It had the opposite for me. The original felt like waves going in and out and then the TV the sounds were blended less so lost that feeling but still good , if different 👍

ton

Agree!

Gemma Lakin

This Love - the new version has become one of my favourites off 1989 Welcome to New York, Wildest Dreams, I Know Places, Wonderland and Out of Woods - also sound better and I love them WAY more than I originally did. Fearless, Tell Me Why, The Other Side of the Door Better than Revenge is heavier on the noughties emo pop rock sound and i LOVE it Superman, If This Was a Movie Girl at Home - the original production did nothing lets be real so at least this is something interesting and different

Yannahbelle

All of fearless tv bc the old songs with her new vocals are something else, everything is just much clearer!! Special mention to this love, clean and the last time

sydney

Everything has changed and the last time are SUPERIOR DUETS

Edward Vargas

STYLES you can’t tell me that electric guitar and beat aren’t illegally crips

Saartje

Mr perfectly fine, say don't go, is it over now love those vault songs and of course the 10 minute version of all too well and wondetland and ootw are better on the re-recordings.

Krystal

For me, Haunted TV Fearless AND Dear John, are all better than the original

Hayley

‘I Almost Do TV’ is somehow better than the original. I used to drive around singing to that song back in 2013 after a really tough break up and it was one of my favorites on Red. But Taylor’s Version is better. Her voice cracks in the bridge when she says, “in my dreams you’re touchin’ my face”. It’s just perfect 🥲

MyMy

in my opinion everything has changed and I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but long live

Amber Barnes

Definitely out of the Woods and enchanted!!!

Amber Barnes

This is exactly what I think about enchanted!!

Nicole

'Mine' is DEFINITELY up there for me. As well as most of fearless just because he vocals are so strong now

Camila Adames

This Love, Clean, The Way I Loved You and Tell Me Why.

Laura R

Same! This Love was always a skip for me before the re-recording, but now, I love it!

Laura R

It's been said before, but I'll say it again... Out of the Woods and I Know Places.

Laura R

Also, I'm thoroughly impressed that the re-record of You Belong With Me gives me just as much serotonin as the original

Kasadilla

Here’s my take: every re-recorded song is better than the original🫶🏻 it’s how Taylor wants them to sound, but also, her vocals are superior & the instruments sound ✨crisp✨ The most notably different song is Style TV because of the intro guitar but I love the sound personally 💕

Livi

Same!!! I was obsessed with the original, and one of my all time faves. Now i feel like the production is too faded and i feel like something is missing. Still a Perfect song but it doesnt hit as hard in my opinion.

Frederique

Definitely clean tv and ootw tv, i also really love sparks fly tv

Erin M

I Know Places re-record made me like that song. I don’t know why the original doesn’t click with me and the re-record does, but the re-record is just superior

Cassy

yes yes yes thank you!! finally someone else saying i almost do. before red tv came out i wanted to love i almost do so badly because the lyrics are perfection but her delivery on some of the lines in the original are some of her weakest vocals imo and the song is just so much better with her more mature, stronger voice. the song rose all the way up to my #2 on the album for a while and i never see anyone talking about how much that song has improved.

Hayley

Agree with all of this! I was so surprised when scrolling through the comments that no one said it lol. Glad someone understands!

Leijette Riopel

I agree. I also have a whole theory about Style TV. First, the beloved electric guitar riff that we all love so much in the original is more subdued in TV because Taylor’s voice is so much stronger now than it was even on 1989, and when she originally recorded the album, I can see them having boosted the volume of some of the instrumentals in order to support her vocals and fill out the sound, maybe in a way they don’t always need to anymore. Style feels huge, expansive - even the studio version gives you the sense of being outdoors, or in a massive space, almost like she built that song to be played in stadiums. Also, we must remember that even though Taylor knows her own songs better than anyone, she doesn’t have the same relationship to the studio album versions of them that the fans who have been listening to them on repeat for years have. Every time a new re-recording comes out, we hear some fans say that they prefer the version they have known for many years over the re-recorded version, even when they acknowledge the re-recorded version is better. Humans tend to prefer the most familiar, even when it’s not as good. So, looking at it from Taylor’s perspective, she has performed Style hundreds, if not thousands of times at this point. She performed at least part of it at every single show on the 1989 tour, the Rep tour, and the Eras tour. The version of Style that Taylor is most familiar with is way she performs it live. In my opinion, Style TV sounds much closer to her live performance of that song than it does like the original studio version. Her vocals and the electric guitar are more in balance with each other. To me it makes perfect sense that that would be the case. I understand people were disappointed that the guitar was not as prominent on TV, but their anger about it is mostly because it’s a change from what they are used to, not because it sounds bad. If you had only ever heard Style TV, you would think it sounds fantastic. In this case comparison is the thief of joy, and it makes me sad that so many can’t appreciate how good the re-recorded version actually is. It’s how Taylor wanted that song to sound, so I love it.

Leah Dorling

Clean was superior to the earballs 🩵

Katie M

Out of the woods and I know places

Lindsay

Fearless, Hey Stephen, Tell Me Why, Haunted, Red, Out of the Woods, and All You Had to Do Was Stay

Joshua🩵

All of the Taylor version songs are better because her older voice songs 100% better and I’m not a fan of the country accent on the originals (except for debut).

Chelsea Brown

Last minute honorary mention for If This Was A Movie and Eyes Open. That surprise drop she did was so superior. It made me like Eyes Open a lot more.

Khai Pham

Out of the woods

Tatum Lupa

i know places!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sarah Marie McLeod

OOTW, Haunted, honestly something about This Love hits different for me

Tasha

No but the GIGGLE in Hey Stephen!! I do think there's something about Fearless which sounds different, I'm guessing just the technology now means it sounds clearer and 'in the earballs' but I love that song even more now! Still pine for the OG You Belong With Me though :(

Shed

This Love. I was listening on shuffle on my earbuds one week and idk how else to put it but the OG one came on and the production sounded 'off' to my ears. This is one of my favorites on 1989 but I do think it's because of the TV. the TV production sounds so crispy clear and feels a lot more impactful and warm. Clean would also be a solid contender, the production RAMPS and it makes the song a lot more dimensional. idk why my mind went to 1989 for the TV but since it did I'll trust my instincts haha

Erica Robinson

All of Fearless is sooo good. My kids listen to Love Story and You Belong with Me so much and they’re so much better

Faiz Rizza

THESE r easily replaced the OG : 1. Out of The Woods Jack’s is FUCKING IT UP HARD 2. All You Had To Do Was Stay that STAYYY! shut up 3. Clean it’s def different, but the more instruments that added to build up to pre-chorus n chorus is magic 4. Sad Beautiful Tragic idk, somehow the timing was just fits right with the Red TV’s. It felt like the song should’ve been recorded in Taylor mature voice since day 1 5. Hey Stephen & Tell Me Why (i know they r 2 songs, but) if u told me that the OG Ver of these would be in my Top 5 for the Fearless TV, I wouldn’t beleve u) 6. Innocent more BASS to punch a little more deeper 7. Better Than Revenge okay HAYLEY WILLIAMS. or AMY LEE of Evanescence. 🤘🏻 8. I Know Places (i wanna throw a chair)

尔杰 铁

Wonderland is better ❤️

Izzy

RED

Sirine 3136

I know places ! Just starting with the I-I-I-I, I-I-I-I that has something more in it. Idk the re-recording of it is such a masterpiece
