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?!?!
