Taylor has said on Tumbler that these songs she had written during the 1989 era, but the production wasn't composed until today. That's why they kind of have a midnights sound to them. Her current sound didn't fit with the sounds of her older albums, but it fits with the sound and themes of the 1989 era and the vault tracks. I am excited to see what she does with the reputation tracks!
But that takes away the whole point of them being “vault tracks”, they SHOULD reflect the production and point in time they are from, not whatever sound she currently has going on
Soooooo I actually think this is the best vault we’ve had so far in terms of lyrics and cohesiveness. The vault tracks are telling the same story as the standard edition and the lyrics are more raw and direct in regards to who the songs are about. I think that’s why she chose to leave them out bc it’s undeniable who they’re about. I also think it literally sounds 1989 as in they’re synthy and have an 80s movie soundtrack vibe to them.
I believed a dumb crackpot fan theory that Lover was going to have a full second half/sequel album released back when delusional Swifties were counting holes in fences in her Insta posts.... 😩 Then later she did that with Folklore/Evermore! She plays too much. 💀

All I will say about the vault tracks is give it a week. The first listen I was like “Hm okay” and now I’m shaking my ass to each one, they are absolutely growers
This whole re-recording has been such a genius plan. Not only for her to own the masters, but it's such a great way for OG fans to relive the eras that defined our childhood, but also for newer fans to experience an era that they missed, or younger fans who get to experience an era for the first time. Truly a mastermind ✨
Actually, if Scott Borchetta hadn't sold her first 6 albums out from under her, we wouldn't have ever had the vault tracks. Give Taylor lemons and she makes the best lemonade.
According to Taylor, she cut these five songs because they felt like L.A. tracks while the rest of the album was a city album (so she wrote them before she went to new york)
all the vault tracks are a grower. i didn't vibe to anything on the vault tracks the first time BUT.. but on the nth listen to the whole album, I've been shaking my ass to every beat.
10:36 "fake interview" literally me!😂 22:25 the "Wildest Dreams" bridge, mainly this version, has a chokehold on me. I think of so many fictional couples especially Evelyn and Celia from 'The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" and the song "I Know Places". SO GOOD!!!!! Best bridge ever!!!!💙🤍 24:47 your little screams of excitement are my favorite!!! (29:13) 48:15 pardon?? 50:21 "I need to go lie down" mood😂 Also happy birthday yesterday Momma Ash!!! We love you!!🎉
Say Don’t Go & Is It Over Now are my fave vault tracks 🙌🏻 HYGTG used to be my all time favorite but I think Out of The Woods has come out on top. I didn’t used to like it as much before until this year!! It’s so slept on
i also feel so strong about “you are in love” because the lines “Morning his place / Burnt toast, Sunday” because it helps me deal with the challenges of being gay and having a religious family and being able to see sunday as something beautiful and not with something that spreads hate (not all churches but my experiences personally)
Literally the same with “and you knew what it was, he is in love” gets me every freaking time! Like I’ll be totally fine and hear that song and instant tears 😂
OMG, Ash, you would love Summer I Turned Pretty. The performances, the acting, the messy tea, and the music producer's budget has got to be an infinity symbol because EVERY. SOUNDTRACK. SLAPS! Amazon is blessed with Taylor's music, and then some. ❤
I honestly LOVE this re recording. And during New Romantics when you said, Taylor if you knew what was coming at you. Can you imagine exactly what came after her, everything she went through, at what was supposed to be the peak of her career. And now, 9 years later, she is on top of the world, breaking all records, being as happy and free as ever. I’m loving this era.
I'm living for all things TV and my favs reacting to the beauty of it. However, my favourite thing is reading the comments and seeing swifties, old and new, appreciating different songs from the albums that they might have skipped or just not loved as much before. It's so wholesome and cute 💜
my thoughts on the vault tracks are that they were probably written around the time of the rest of 1989, but because they werent produced by jack until post-midnights, theres so much of that influence in the production that they feel almost like midnights tracks instead?? (is it over now is my favorite but it does NOT sound like 1989 so i 100% understand your conflict with the vault)
GIRL I WAS TODAY YEARS OLD WHEN I FOUND OUT IT’S NOT FAKE INTERVIEW AND I’VE BUILT MY WHOLE PERSONALITY AROUND THIS SONG THANKS FOR THE BREAKDOWN THO BYE
That’s how I felt when I found out New Romantics is “the lights and noise are blinding” and not “the lights and BOYS are blinding.” Honestly realizing that makes me not like it as much cause the misheard version is so much more clever 💀
as a wonderland girly myself just seeing you listening to the re recording and understanding made me giggle. I LOVED this recording honesty the depth and excitement just made me ascend.

One thing that this re-recording has done for me is that it took my tunnel vision off of the singles cuz they were THAT dominating. And made me love more of the underrated ones. Truly magical
Honestly 1989 was the first album from Taylor that I fully listened to. I am just so glad to FINALLY listen to it again as I should and how it should have always been is by all means FULFILLING.
so i was a 1989 kind of person, i am a HUGE OOTW stan ! I was about 10 and now coming back to 1989 TV and it’s like i’m that little kid again and coming back to this whole album i get to see what i’ve missed. I love this whole re recording project bc i get to re live a bunch of era of time and how special taylor is to me and my childhood. cant wait for rep tv !!!
@@hurryhurryhurryhurryit’s all on one CD so it doesn’t count as a double album. The Beatles’s self-titled album (aka The White Album) is a double album because it’s 2 LPs (30 songs)
@@AlexeBriand2002 but it's on two vinyls two LPs so..... And also Kendrick Lamar did the same thing he promoted his latest album with 18 songs as a double album
about the songs not feeling "as high" as the og version: actually the notes that she's hitting are the very same, but since her voice does not have the strain it did on the og, they feel lower. they're not tho, they're the same. it's just how her voice produced them that is different and it feels more natural and stable, but that's just vocal development for you lol
As a ‘you are in love’ stan, I was so happy that it sounded as perfect as it did!! It’s in my top 3 Taylor songs!! If you’re looking for something with the pop perfection of 1989 but w rep lyrics, I highly recommend Maisie peters album ‘the good witch”!! It’s so good!! 💗
I think the feeling of fullness in the production comes from the demand for spatial audio and panning in a digital world where dolby atmos is slowly taking over, as opposed to 2014 when the OG 1989 came out where the main sales were from physical copies and in my mind this album was made for vinyl back then where there cannot be any panning or spatial sounds that are specifically in one ear or both ears, making the mix wider. I think rep will be pretty similar to the original because of streaming being much more prominent at that time, but a lot of the fuller and wider production definitely is because it doesn't have to be on CD or Vinyl, and they will be mixed and mastered differently for physical versions...ill stop now but as an audio engineer and music production and technology student I LOVE to talk about stuff like this :)
Wildest Dreams is like the slowest song on the album and you're out here dancing like it's Shake It Off. I love the energy you bring!!! Love it, love it, love it
oof i don't think my fragile heart was ready for the vault track disrespect cause these ones are the best vault tracks she's ever realesed imo. they feel like actual album songs, like the main body of an album
I've been waiting for this !!! I personally LOVED this rerecording and I also loved the vault tracks...yes I do feel they're not "1989" enough, yes this is far from being my favorite vault, but I loved them and "Say Don't Go" is one of my favorite vault tracks ever (and a really damn good Taylor song)
1989 brings me back to the simpler times of high school: receiving it for my 16th birthday, jamming to its singles in the car, and getting lost in Tay's storytelling (especially on the likes of This Love, I Know Places, and You Are in Love). Out of her discography, this is *the* most nostalgic & comfort album for me. 😌 You can bet I WILL be dancing to these beats forevermore! 👏🎵🌆 Edit: P.S. Happy belated birthday, Ashley! I for one was spending at Rhode Island Comic Con. 😉🎂
i'm not even going to lie... as a Style girlie i *hated* the tv version at first listen and it has grown on me a lot but i really don't like produced it sounds, i absolutely loved how raw and "dirty" the original felt and this one just feels a little empty... other than that i really liked this rerecording, especially Wonderland!! also about the Vault tracks, i honestly feel like they fit Midnights way more as an album than they do 1989? Suburban Legends for example really reminds me of Mastermind in its production
Uhhh I agree on style, it was so raw and sounded like she’s casually singing next to you in a car while someone else plays guitar in the backseat at least that’s how I heard it 😂 and I loved that but it’s gone
i love the vault tracks however i do think they were definitely produced during midnights. they sound so much like labyrinth, mastermind, etc. i wish we had gotten 1989 production with those but they're still really great!
The isn’t even related to the actual album, but Ash you are the only one who I feel understands King Of My Heart the way I do! It’s such an amazing song and I need more people to start realizing that
We’re pretty close in age and I love watching the same shows you do, watch the summer I turned pretty!! It made me feel nostalgic in the best way and very 2000’s movie-esque. Really great music too! Goes along with the storytelling
I’m so sad people were being so harsh on this re-recording, to me 1989 is one of my fav albums and this re-recording just elevated everything I loved about the original, the production felt so full and clean and I’m obsessed. To me it’s her best re-recording to date
I will never understand this. You love the record, more power to you, so why get sad about other opinions? It's not like they are gonna take it away from you
@@romankarol5370no I just meant I feel for Taylor, she put so much love, time and effort into the record and for people to diminish it and nit pick that she says a word differently or something seems super unnecessary. If people don’t like it that’s their opinion but when it becomes a hate train towards Taylor it’s different
I think the vault tracks on each re-record have some influence from the albums that came before them. Fearless and Red while already very acoustic sounding gave more of a folklore/evermore sound to them. Then she dropped midnights and the speak now tv while not too midnights-y still had a bit more of a pop influence in the songs. Then now 1989 tv comes and the vault feels very midnights influenced. I think the vault tracks were written back then but have been brought to life with the sound she is currently working with. Upon initial listen I felt the 1989 vault was very midnights inspired and that’s because that’s the overall era and sound she is in.
Ashley, I need you to get into singing classes like yesterday!! You have a great understanding of pitch and you sound so pretty when you sing along like pleaseeeeee, EP dropping when??
You pegged down exactly why i like the re-record more- the transitions are smoother and her voice is more confident. And because i don't have any nostalgia attached to this album, i just like it better. And now I'm excited and terrified for Rep. Coz that is MY album. The one where I became a fan, a swiftie. I'll tell you now i'll be noting down every change because i heard that album non-stop from 2017 to 2019.
Your ranking is so superior we love seeing You Are In Love in the top three. Also hard agree Is It Over Now? And Now that We Don’t Talk are the best vault tracks.
Ok so I know what you mean, I think these tracks aren't as 1989-ish as I hoped they would be either, but they have REALLY grown on me and now I'm basically obsessed with them SO IT'S SAD SEEING YOU BE DISAPPOINTED BY THEM
I think the reason why some of us feel like some songs aren’t as high(in terms of notes hit) like before is because her voice currently has grown so much that those high notes back then feels like her normal range now. If you try to sing Style OG then the TV, the notes are still the same its just in a more comfortable manner.
41:59 Hearing the chorus of "Say Don't Go," it honestly gave me "Yeehaw Taylor" vibes, and knowing how much Ashley isn't normally into that, seeing her face during first listen doesn't surprise me. 42:48 Whoop, and there's the Speak Now name drop. I'm psychic. 😆
Say Don't Go gives me subtle pop rock vibes personally. Not enough to actually call it a pop rock song, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an inspiration.
Looove every second of this!! Watched the entire video without skipping and I also didn't skip any ads. Happy birthday to my favorite Internet Mom, Ashley!! Sending you lots of love and virtual power hugs!! 🥹🩵💕
It’s not really lower, her voice has just mature and gotten a bit deeper as it tends to do with time :) was still an absolutely fucking AMAZING re-record❤ definitely my favorite one ! I was dumb enough to not get really into the original 1989 until like 6 months ago and it’s really gone up to my number 1 rotation along with 3 others that go to number one on a weekly basis depending on my mood😂
the fact that it’s the first taylor album cover where she’s smiling is so special to me
to be fair we have no idea if she's smiling in evermore
i was abt to say that HAHAHA@@j_0anna

Fun fact: this re-release is Taylor’s BIGGEST first week sales debut of her career…
Edit: She just broke it again with TTPD
That's because tay is the music industry ❤
This is literally so crazy considering how a couple years ago the original 1989 era was consisted to be her prime
i thought it was midnights
@veng0v it looks like 1989 tv just beat it
I'm not surprised. I mean she is the music industry and Kanye can kiss my A**

if you haven’t clowned ab a release as a swiftie you haven’t had your initiation into the fandom yet its a rite of passage
SO TRUE!!!!

@ville__ why do you say that?
I love how Ajay and Ash has similar ways of describing the song, like "The synths are synthing" (Ash) and "The beat is beating' (Ajay) haha 😂
“she’s cute but is she “you are in love?”” she doesn’t need to because she’s this love and she’s iconic
The songs have very strong, completely different sentiments behind them… so comparing them was crazyyyy.

@@hurryhurryhurryhurryit’s all on one CD so it doesn’t count as a double album. The Beatles’s self-titled album (aka The White Album) is a double album because it’s 2 LPs (30 songs)
@@AlexeBriand2002 but it's on two vinyls two LPs so..... And also Kendrick Lamar did the same thing he promoted his latest album with 18 songs as a double album
about the songs not feeling "as high" as the og version: actually the notes that she's hitting are the very same, but since her voice does not have the strain it did on the og, they feel lower. they're not tho, they're the same. it's just how her voice produced them that is different and it feels more natural and stable, but that's just vocal development for you lol
As a ‘you are in love’ stan, I was so happy that it sounded as perfect as it did!! It’s in my top 3 Taylor songs!! If you’re looking for something with the pop perfection of 1989 but w rep lyrics, I highly recommend Maisie peters album ‘the good witch”!! It’s so good!! 💗
yesss I love Maisie sm
I think the feeling of fullness in the production comes from the demand for spatial audio and panning in a digital world where dolby atmos is slowly taking over, as opposed to 2014 when the OG 1989 came out where the main sales were from physical copies and in my mind this album was made for vinyl back then where there cannot be any panning or spatial sounds that are specifically in one ear or both ears, making the mix wider. I think rep will be pretty similar to the original because of streaming being much more prominent at that time, but a lot of the fuller and wider production definitely is because it doesn't have to be on CD or Vinyl, and they will be mixed and mastered differently for physical versions...ill stop now but as an audio engineer and music production and technology student I LOVE to talk about stuff like this :)
You've got a point; a lot of 1989 felt Reputation-coded, and since it's my favorit TS album, I'm SO ready for Taylor's Version.
Wildest Dreams is like the slowest song on the album and you're out here dancing like it's Shake It Off. I love the energy you bring!!! Love it, love it, love it
“I think about jumping off a really tall something”
Ash: 😜💅🏼💃🏻🗣️
Ash reacting to the summer I turned pretty would be so good
It's been a little more than one week since the vault tracks and I can't stop listening to them. I'm addicted. All of them. All of them.
oof i don't think my fragile heart was ready for the vault track disrespect cause these ones are the best vault tracks she's ever realesed imo. they feel like actual album songs, like the main body of an album
sameee like WHAT is goin on here 😭
@@Amazingunreleasedmusic-nx3uiWHAT! Even the fearless vault tracks?? listen to them more please bc they are incredible once you give them a few listen
@@Amazingunreleasedmusic-nx3uime when i'm wrong:
I still think the red vault is better 🙌🏻
@@SN-bk5xj the red vault is great! but 1989's vault is great too.
I've been waiting for this !!! I personally LOVED this rerecording and I also loved the vault tracks...yes I do feel they're not "1989" enough, yes this is far from being my favorite vault, but I loved them and "Say Don't Go" is one of my favorite vault tracks ever (and a really damn good Taylor song)
this album is JUST A MASTERPIECE
i don't really consider myself a Swiftie but hearing new romantics when it came out changed me spiritually
Her immediately switching up on wonderland was so real ❤
1989 brings me back to the simpler times of high school: receiving it for my 16th birthday, jamming to its singles in the car, and getting lost in Tay's storytelling (especially on the likes of This Love, I Know Places, and You Are in Love). Out of her discography, this is *the* most nostalgic & comfort album for me. 😌
You can bet I WILL be dancing to these beats forevermore! 👏🎵🌆
Edit: P.S. Happy belated birthday, Ashley! I for one was spending at Rhode Island Comic Con. 😉🎂
it's the way that 1989 just hits different because Taylor was finally happy when she was singing these songs
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!! 🎉🎉🎉 I love you so much! thanx for making my days better and being my elder sister and mother on the internet!!!
The added harmonies on the out of the woods bridge make it so much better
i'm not even going to lie... as a Style girlie i *hated* the tv version at first listen and it has grown on me a lot but i really don't like produced it sounds, i absolutely loved how raw and "dirty" the original felt and this one just feels a little empty... other than that i really liked this rerecording, especially Wonderland!!
also about the Vault tracks, i honestly feel like they fit Midnights way more as an album than they do 1989? Suburban Legends for example really reminds me of Mastermind in its production
Uhhh I agree on style, it was so raw and sounded like she’s casually singing next to you in a car while someone else plays guitar in the backseat at least that’s how I heard it 😂 and I loved that but it’s gone
Yess I agree with the midnights opinion, I instantly thought that when hearing them like I love them all sm but idk they just don’t fit on 1989
the cinematic improvements on ootw and clean are INSANE
i love the vault tracks however i do think they were definitely produced during midnights. they sound so much like labyrinth, mastermind, etc. i wish we had gotten 1989 production with those but they're still really great!
The isn’t even related to the actual album, but Ash you are the only one who I feel understands King Of My Heart the way I do! It’s such an amazing song and I need more people to start realizing that
I turned 18 yesterday and all I was waiting for all day was this video. That´s the chokehold that Ash has on me.
Happy birthday! 🥳🍾🥂
Finally, my favorite internet mommy ,Ashley
I've been waiting for this video since the album dropped!!😭
i love “you are in love” SO MUCH it’s just a song that i wanna relate to so bad
Caitlin and Ash both talking about the ticking sound in shake it off is sending me
We’re pretty close in age and I love watching the same shows you do, watch the summer I turned pretty!! It made me feel nostalgic in the best way and very 2000’s movie-esque. Really great music too! Goes along with the storytelling
PLS THE TINY DIANNA AGRON AFTER THE WONDERLAND CRITIQUE URE SO FUNNYYYYY
I’m so sad people were being so harsh on this re-recording, to me 1989 is one of my fav albums and this re-recording just elevated everything I loved about the original, the production felt so full and clean and I’m obsessed. To me it’s her best re-recording to date
I will never understand this. You love the record, more power to you, so why get sad about other opinions? It's not like they are gonna take it away from you
same !
@@romankarol5370no I just meant I feel for Taylor, she put so much love, time and effort into the record and for people to diminish it and nit pick that she says a word differently or something seems super unnecessary. If people don’t like it that’s their opinion but when it becomes a hate train towards Taylor it’s different
@@TianaNovaaplease she is a billionaire, she's gonna be fine. People have the right to criticise her
I really love this re recording the best too!!
Thank the Lord that my confort channel is back on track. Tysm i love you Ash ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY ASHLEY!!! we are both scorpio queens, love that for both of us!!
If people haven’t heard this album with headphones and Dolby sound, PLZ PLZ do it! It’s a life changing experience
“I see why it was left off the album” Ashley !!! Just love what I love oh my god!😩
EVERYBODY WISH QUEEN ASHLEY OUR FAVORITE INTERNET MOM A HAPPY BIRTHDAY
I think the vault tracks on each re-record have some influence from the albums that came before them. Fearless and Red while already very acoustic sounding gave more of a folklore/evermore sound to them. Then she dropped midnights and the speak now tv while not too midnights-y still had a bit more of a pop influence in the songs. Then now 1989 tv comes and the vault feels very midnights influenced. I think the vault tracks were written back then but have been brought to life with the sound she is currently working with. Upon initial listen I felt the 1989 vault was very midnights inspired and that’s because that’s the overall era and sound she is in.
Ashley, I need you to get into singing classes like yesterday!! You have a great understanding of pitch and you sound so pretty when you sing along like pleaseeeeee, EP dropping when??
Happy Belated Birthday Queen…we love you so much…you are a national treasure to us all…🩵
Omg the face interview is sooo accurate!!!! I thought about a fake interview in a car at midnight as well, until you brought it up!!! Crying.
my mom listening to my MOTHER. this is the best day (with you today). thank you ashley!
1989 is my favorite album ever. The vault tracks are literally so amazing. I love this album so much.

girl we need you to continue your ts songs ranking with all the new albums that have come out since your last vid!
You pegged down exactly why i like the re-record more- the transitions are smoother and her voice is more confident. And because i don't have any nostalgia attached to this album, i just like it better. And now I'm excited and terrified for Rep. Coz that is MY album. The one where I became a fan, a swiftie. I'll tell you now i'll be noting down every change because i heard that album non-stop from 2017 to 2019.
Your ranking is so superior we love seeing You Are In Love in the top three. Also hard agree Is It Over Now? And Now that We Don’t Talk are the best vault tracks.
Ok so I know what you mean, I think these tracks aren't as 1989-ish as I hoped they would be either, but they have REALLY grown on me and now I'm basically obsessed with them SO IT'S SAD SEEING YOU BE DISAPPOINTED BY THEM
I think the reason why some of us feel like some songs aren’t as high(in terms of notes hit) like before is because her voice currently has grown so much that those high notes back then feels like her normal range now. If you try to sing Style OG then the TV, the notes are still the same its just in a more comfortable manner.
41:59 Hearing the chorus of "Say Don't Go," it honestly gave me "Yeehaw Taylor" vibes, and knowing how much Ashley isn't normally into that, seeing her face during first listen doesn't surprise me.
42:48 Whoop, and there's the Speak Now name drop. I'm psychic. 😆
Say Don't Go gives me subtle pop rock vibes personally. Not enough to actually call it a pop rock song, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an inspiration.
Looove every second of this!! Watched the entire video without skipping and I also didn't skip any ads. Happy birthday to my favorite Internet Mom, Ashley!! Sending you lots of love and virtual power hugs!! 🥹🩵💕
Watching Ashley panicking during Wonderland was a mood and a half 😂❤
47:59 for a Jumpscare 😂🎉
AAASHHH DOVE CAMERON HAS A DEBUT ALBUMM and I LOVE YOU
In “I Wish You Would” I still sing “to stand back wasted” instead of “to stand back where you stood”
Mom, when are you opening a patron with uncut versions? We need moreeeeee… been here since 2020
It’s not really lower, her voice has just mature and gotten a bit deeper as it tends to do with time :) was still an absolutely fucking AMAZING re-record❤ definitely my favorite one ! I was dumb enough to not get really into the original 1989 until like 6 months ago and it’s really gone up to my number 1 rotation along with 3 others that go to number one on a weekly basis depending on my mood😂
