After perhaps the most Jigsaw-coded puzzle series that Taylor has ever done, she has FINALLY released the titles for the tracks that will be featured on the VAULT for the upcoming re-recorded edition of 1989!!! For those of you who escaped the Saw trap of yesterday by having a job or a life, what happened was if you googled Taylor Swift's name, a very cute little vault (on a beach!!) appeared in the corner of your google search. If you clicked it, you were presented with a puzzle. A world scrambler. I kind of hate word scramblers because I've long suspected I may be like idk 20% dyslexic so those just blow my fucking mind, and at first, I resisted. I maintained my dignity. I said, let twitter user cardiganqueen1989 run those puzzles like the fucking navy and solve them all for us while WE elder swifties sat back and enjoyed bon bons. It didn't matter that Taylor was demanding we slaves solve 33 million of these idiotic puzzles (with answers like yes whale and pegicorn???), I said let the young people do it. 

After hours of Google glitching out and not working, I finally succumbed to the siren's call of the puzzles and I solved like 15 of them. Dignity in tact. 

Long story short, the swiftie slaves toiled all night long, and she benevolently released the song titles to us!! Everyone knows I LOVE a good old fashioned predictions post about song titles, mostly because I'm nearly always wrong in the long run, so let's get this conversation started, Congress!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1.) Slut! - now................this is the shot heard around the world....this is the only title that she released classically by having the letters come flying out of the little blue vault in a graphic on Instagram, way before the Saw trap even started, so this was a title that was floating around all day. I actually presumed it would be "Lust!", because Slut felt a little too on the nose for the 1989 era, but you know what....now that it's really Slut I am here for it 1,000% and living for it, all the way. I could see this song going a number of different ways - there's the obvious way that may be the way she goes, which is just a reflection on how she has been treated ESPECIALLY back then by the media. This was her woke white feminist era so it definitely stands to reason. I see this song being big, bold, loud, a huge hit frankly!! Let's go!! It's obvious why this song was left off in the first place lmfaoooo....like SLUT! is such an absurd song title....but I'm living LA VIDA LOCA!!! 

2.) Say Don't Go - giving me IWYW/AYHTDWS vibes 1,000%. I fear it's another Harry Styles inspired track, and you know what?? SLAY, she never misses when she's writing about that man. 

3.) Now That We Don't Talk - I'm really interested in this one!!!!!!! I'm wondering if it's perhaps about Katy Perry and the feud? Perhaps a softer side to the whole thing, less about being angry or "getting" her, and more about being sad that it all went down the way it did?!?! 

4.) Suburban Legends - well...........the very first thing that entered my brain when I read this title was Troye Sivan's Blue Neighborhood for some reason LMFAO!!!! I have nooo clue why, but I love the play on "urban legends", and I think this song could either be the serve of the century or be the flop of the century. It's kind of giving New Romantics a bit. 

5.) Is It Over Now? - After slut (I still cannot believe I'm saying that as an actual song title...) this title intrigues me the most. It's JUST a question, after all...but I think this song may have a bit of a Clean edge to it, more subdued and slower than the other big pop hits I think the rest of the songs will be like!!!  

There is a NOTED lack of features on this record, which, I mean, let's be honest...after the features on SNTV, I am kind of clapping like a seal over the lack of features. I'm really excited to have a vault that's just ALL Taylor, and I cannot wait to see who is producing what, if she brought Ryan Tedder back for any of these vaults, which songs Aaron and Jack had a hand in, and etc etc!!! There is also a noted lack of the Kendrick Lamar Bad Blood remix which I find fucking interesting....I find that really interesting.......you forgive you forget but you never let it go....

What do you guys think about my predictions?!?!?!?! Do you have any of your own?? What tracks are you most excited for?!?!

Is It Over Now? Are we Out of the Woods yet? Are we in the clear yet? i mean…let me ask the audience !! 🎤

Spruce The Tree

Currently losing it over Is It Over Now? and Say Don’t Go

em

i’m seeing slut! as a blank space 2.0 type hit. is it over now? is giving me out of the woods vibes. all in all… i’m gagged and i’m seated for october 27th

Ally ❤️

I am thinking a direct to streaming drop a few weeks later (Christmas present?) of 1989: the Remixes with all the collabs on it. 🤷‍♀️

Ally ❤️

Most excited for “Slut!”

em

call me crazy but i think there's a pipeline from wildest dreams to AYHTDWS to is it over? to i wish you would to how you get the girl to this love to wonderland to clean

cheesefries

i’m mostly sold for is it over now being an ootw type track but also wondering if it could perhaps be nothing new/castles crumbling esque? or about her relationship with big machine?

em

also i'm surprised there's no features. wondering what motivated that especially because there were people we know she was hanging out with around that time who she could've collabed with

If 1989 is the Hayler album, could Slut be a response (emotionally? Or a clapback)to the 1D fans that lost their shit back then when Hayler was still a thing? I wasn't super tuned in at the time since I wasn't a 1D fan but I remember a Tumblr post in particular that called her a Medusa Cradle Robbing Whore for dating him.

gaysofspades

What i need is "slut!" To be the Single and get a remix (I know 🍅🍅🍅), but with nicki minaj and NOT Sone half ass remix with a leiser than half as rapper

Swiftologist

Totally, I think that the shit she got for dating him was some of the worst she ever got for dating anyone honestly

Chrissy Bowen

I think Bad Blood w Kendrick is mayhaps the Target bonus track. 1 2 3 LET'S GO SLUTS!

Hannah T

Suburban Legends sounds like a Lorde song

Lana

Or Dec 13th for her Birthday. Wouldn't be the first time she gave us a gift on her birthday

Bonnie Dye

Oh, I hadn't thought about a big machine link. That seems like a strong possibility

Gianna

The Target exclusive song is Bad Blood remix w/Kendrick (Source, me and my delusions)

Robert O'Mahony

Ooooh good shout re Katy and Now That We Don’t Talk… inch resting…

Robert O'Mahony

Interesting!! Like “is my career over now because I’m not doing country anymore”… 👁️👁️

Abigail Compton

Love this post. I’m really curious which song will get the music video and Taylor’s attention. I’m ready for the single choice!

Ducklina

I thought the SAME about suburban legends and blue neighbourbood!!!! I think it’s bc he has a song called suburbia on the album - verrry nostalgic spending summer break in your hometown feel. I hate that slut! evokes such Me! vibes to me lmfao, maybe only because of the exclamation but I can’t take it seriously😭 I really hope she took more of an artistic rather than political approach to the song bc a grown white woman earnestly seeking reparations for the media calling her a slut a decade ago will not go over well in 2023, but knowing who she was then, I have a feeling the dead body of 2014 girlboss feminism may about to be exhumed…..

Nikola

Bestie omg when I saw suburban legends the first thing that came to my mind was also blue neighbourhood!!! Also I’m claiming that track, I feel it might be a favorite of mine

Liz

I find that I never LOVED any of the vault tracks. For me, most range from just fine enough to bad. with some exceptions of course. I wonder if I will feel that way about 1989 Vault Track.... loved your take!

Ally ❤️

😳😂😂😂😂😂

Mr. Watermelon

There's so much with this vault that comes to my mind. First is that most of these songs are probably haylor (except for Suburban Legends and Slut!). Is It Over Now? gave me a lot of Out Of The Woods energy so I think it could be something like that like her asking are we done? is it finally over? did we move on? Say Don't Go I have a feeling it'll be something like I Wish You Would. Now That We Don't Talk I have no thoughts on that maybe something like Bad Blood -isg? Idk. Slut! it's gonna be like Blank Space but with more brutal honesty in it. And Suburban Legends my first thought it's gonna be a huge serve like New Romantics. Generally I'm very positive about this vault songs I'm most existed about are Suburban Legends and Is It Over Now.

Michaela Wagner

Suburban Legends giving wonderland spooky slay can’t wait. Also potentially giving “the life I could have had” if it’s that again I’ll fine but like…………….. can it at least be a cunty track

Celeste

She's really not holding back on the vault tracks and I love that for her. I can see you and now slut ! Can't wait clap clap. But also in terms of no features. Probably (most likely not) but the 6th bonus vault on tangerine edition could have a feature on it. You never know !!!

Lauren

i also instantly thought of Troye Sivan’s Blue Neighbourhood, I think because it had a song called ‘Suburbia’ on it. i mean i love that album so i hope it’s somewhat similar ahzjakahbj

Madeline

I said the same thing when I saw it!!

shannymac

I’m glad there aren’t any features. I don’t want ‘em…I’m only here for the HBIC.

Drose

I definitely see the bad blood remix just getting released on streaming at some point and not getting a physical release kinda like what she did with the Hunter Games soundtrack songs being tacked into Red TV. I think it deserves better but that’s what I expect her to do

Bella Percival

thinking Blank Space is watered down Slut! which is crazy because Blank Space isn’t even that watered down. I’m thinking it will compare to the Nothing New to Lucky One parallel, as well as I Can See You to Sparks Fly. Seems like sometimes she writes a song and says “maybe that’s a bit much, let’s try again” and the retry is the one that gets on the record.

Cara M

SLUT!!! We cannot wait!! Did you see that she left an easter egg for it in the Anti-Hero video?? I assume this is the track that will get a video and I am SEATED! Interesting juxtaposition between WTNY and Suburban Legends. I’m guessing either an I Know Places theme or a little girlboss moment about Holiday House 4th of July type shenanigans. The other track titles definitely continue the 1989 trend of short phrases as titles, which I appreciate. Personally thrilled about no features. I still think a Nicki collab is coming but Reputation makes way more sense for that. I’m curious if the bonus track will be Bad Blood remix or TIWYCF - hopefully not. I don’t think there’s beef with Kendrick as he was at one of Taylor’s Electric Lady parties.. maybe Taylor realized how much better the og version is or they figured the massively successful video they made was sufficient and didn’t need a re-record? Or he just doesn’t wanna do it and she’s not mad about it? Idk its def odd.. Finally, gotta love our comedic queen ending on “Is It Over?”

Hey Snakes, I really love your content and the thoughtful conversations about Taylor. I wrote this LinkedIn post about the Taylor/ Google partnership for the 1989 vault tracks reveal and I’d love have your thoughts on this brilliant strategy! I work in SEO, so to me, this is also raises the question on what it means for the future of search. But ultimately, I would love to have your perspective on this, because to me it feels like an ultimate “I am the most powerful/ influential person in the world” type of move. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/roxannemetivier_taylorswift-seo-1989vaultsongs-activity-7110228749802946560-CoLu
