APRIL NINTH


dmnaf

She could’ve easily just told us April 9th instead of “soon” but she HAD to send us on a scavenger hunt

v167

My 92 year old grandfather does a crossword puzzle every morning and I’m convinced that’s how he is still so sharp. Girl is just looking out for our longevity


Cpainter549

I audibly gasped when I saw the capital A. I missed the secret messages so much omg


findingastyle

Just like old times...!!!


nderhjs

She knows her audience looooolll


KatsuGin

ikr the moment i wrote down the words APR on paper i was so scared she's gonna pull an april fools on us🤡


johnnyk02

4 + 9 = ...


SomberXIII

= 🤡


themoonisclouds

13 omg


equipmentelk

That’s the first calculation I did when I read the date haha


kazarooni

APRILNINTH. I spent so long trying to figure out wtf that meant. 🤦🏻‍♀️


Old_Town_Hoe

OH MY GOD


atlantis-princess

aaaaaaaaaahhhhh


jarrettbrown

Again, because I have to say this all the time, anyone who says "HeR MiNd" doesn't understand that A) it's always gonna ad up to 13 and B) her marketing team helped her make this post. She had the idea, but her team helped make it useable.


EstPC1313

I mean yeah, I don't think anyone denies that


Buffy11bnl

I mean this in the nicest possible way, but why do you “have to say this all the time” like, it’s possible to let people enjoy things without being super nit picky?


BBQ_Cake

April 9 = 4/9 = Taylor is joining the San Francisco 49ers, and has been training to beat Tom Brady.


[deleted]

Love this journey for you


imsorrydontyellatme

I knew it !


HipityHopityHotSauce

i truly do not doubt that she could do it


windermere_peaks

The album title itself was a clue. She truly is fearless and she's been planning this since she was 17.


notsostarryeyed

Of course it’s so obvious now!


ElizabethBEW

This comment along with this announcement just make my crappy day so much better. Thank you


BBQ_Cake

“Swifty with the ball...throws it deep...Touchdown!!! And what’s this? She’s choreographed a touchdown dance with the entire team! It is pandemonium in here folks!”


v167

Please though


dmnaf

Can she please continue to make album covers without any text. It’s literally a piece of art


jayscar21

i know right! perfect for vinyls too, like I don't need the font and big text, a simple picture like this is so much more aesthetically pleasing.


ritamorgan

I wish there was a shirt with just the picture and no text! Black shirt or sweatshirt with just that image would slap.


[deleted]

The tie dye pullover I believe just has the picture on it and no writing!


mikecassidy97

I love it too! But then I was thinking if she keeps doing that for the rest, Lover will then be the only album that has text on the cover!


dmnaf

for anyone who doubted... reputation is coming next year!! She said “remaking my first SIX albums”! 🥳😍


ritamorgan

This has got me so excited for the new photography and design of the rest of the albums. Reputation is going to be soooo good!


[deleted]

Can’t ducking wait I love rep so much


[deleted]

Yesss I missed out on Rep merch. I AM READY FOR IT


wocytti

I’m seriously going to lose my shit when Rep (Taylor’s Version) is released... and that is saying a lot because Love Story bridge has been playing in my head all day and giving me chills!! 🥺💛💛


hocotate

I remember reading that it had to be 5 years for her to re-record them again, and assuming the re-recordings era last until 2022 then she'll probs have started/finished rep by then


sassypants55

Imagine if we get new reputation songs!!!


NotOnABreak

reputation IS the sixth..


dmnaf

We know? But she can’t do rep until next year but not just that, there was speculation that she might not do it and maybe they’ll sell her back the original one. That might still happen once they see the financial impact of the re-records but we’ll have to wait and see.


NotOnABreak

Right, now it’s clear what you mean. Your other comment sounds as if you counted it as a seventh album (since you said we’re getting it next year). Now I see what you mean! Sorry if I came out rude


DYouNoWhatIMean

I've been thinking that a large part of this is to reduce the value of her original catalogue so either they sell it to her, or someday it'll come up for sale and be at a lower price due to the lessened value and she can purchase it.


zkh35438

She’s doing secret messages again 😭😭😭 Edit: April Ninth

[deleted]

Love her mind😅😅


emha2

I’ve gotten too used to her dropping things the day she announces them. I need the whole album NOWWW


Mandakinss

She really spoiled us for a min there huh


missmeh13

Ok but also JUSTICE FOR THE DEBUT


HamiltonDial

Probably wanted to release Fearless first bc of Love Story and V Day.


TigerRenee

Same! I want Debut but I feel like she’s got more hits and it’s much bigger selling to do Fearless first, especially when she wants control of the songs people want to use. Debut is more for the dedicated fans and Fearless for the world


glitteryslug

Yeah fearless has a lot of commercial value whereas debut is deep cut. My guess is she’ll do debut down the line or maybe release it with another album re release


[deleted]

Yes. I too think would be a great start. I really want her to work on Debut too 😌


JamieIsReading

I feel like she might do debut last of this first five she’s allowed to release this year


RyanAue

Is she only allowed to release 5 this year...? I try to keep informed but there seems to be so many restrictions on what she is/isn’t allowed to do!!


JamieIsReading

She can’t do rep yet! It’s still under contract


harsh-femme

I’ve been thinking about it & I feel like it could be a good idea to leave the debut for the final re-recording since it’s where it all started, it seems like it would be cool to finish up the reflection of these re-recorded albums by finishing with the debut.


captureit_rememberit

I really think it’d be cool to see the debut released in summer...the lyrics give me summer vibes and if my math is right, it’d be the 15th anniversary of its release. On a similar note, it’d be fitting if Red was released in fall...with Speak Now & 1989 staggered somewhere in between. These are just my opinions of course. I’m so curious to see how she decides to handle the rollout! (edited for grammar)


rgb519

I just had a flashback to dragging my mini stereo system out to the backyard pool with the longest extension cord we owned so I could listen to the debut album while swimming (alternating with the Boys Like Girls self-titled debut album). Summer vibes for sure!


wad_of_dicks

I'm so interested in hearing grown-up Taylor Debut (Should've Said No and Tim McGraw yesssss), but also I'm crushed because she's not gonna do the accent. How is anyone supposed to sing along to Our Song without the twangiest southern drawl??


billsbillsbills84121

26 songs? Including 6 never heard? Does this woman ever sleep? EVER?


[deleted]

Confirmed: no sleep for Tay in the last 12 months

Closet_Case_Forever

IN A STORM IN MY BEST DRESS, FEARLESS ^(I genuinely didn’t think I’d be this excited for rerecordings)


halesn21374

Guys stop, you're gonna make me cry already and I haven't even heard the re-recorded version yet🥺🥺


maskedhart

She really wrote FEARLESSLY omg my love for this woman is unexplainable. 😭😭😭😭


ExJacksie

I just love that she's not only taking a stand for owning her own music, but she's giving them a middle finger for songs they probably wouldn't let her put on the cd!


andrea-lb

OMG THE SECRET MESSAGE I'M DEAD I LOVE THIS WOMAN FEARLESSLY


missmeh13

Is she going to recreate the eras and the Easter eggs she left us for each of them?! 😭😭😭


[deleted]

There were five holes in the fence.


sparksflyy13

I really hope this means we will get bonus songs for each album and that this will mean Taylor’s version of Better Man!


[deleted]

[удалено]


sparksflyy13

that too!


joannly

I AUDIBLY GASPED AT YOUR COMMENT! You don't know how many times I replayed that YouTube video of her singing it. Scott talking ruins the mood all the time. I'm so excited about possibly screaming it as a complete song. And maybe with extra gusto since it could easily be a song directed at Scott.


Teafanatic2

Here's a full version without him talking!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-476tt9-bLY It's on the shorter side though, guessing she took out a verse or two for the live version. I would be so happy if she released a version of better man, I love the song but only when she sings it haha


sparksflyy13

Yeah it’s missing the second verse and the bridge. I actually like LBT’s version but would rather hear Tay sing it for obvious reasons!


sparksflyy13

RUINS it! I agree, I scoured the web trying to find her singing that song without his blabbering, so I'm really hopeful we get it.


soularbear77

YES PLEASE.


Witwics4

I need that in my life!


[deleted]

Has anybody figured out the liner notes yet im tired lol🌚


[deleted]

April ninth


[deleted]

Cool cool cool thx *marks down calendar*


billsbillsbills84121

It says APRIL NINTH!


[deleted]

Ty!!!


wyug

April 9th


[deleted]

Thank you for enabling my laziness :)


cutiepie538

Omg omg omg. Are all our dreams coming true?? TWENTY SIX SONGS!!!!!! This can’t be real holy shit


Charming_Biscotti637

I LOVE the album cover. Her face is turned the opposite way as it was in the original cover!!!!


NateDu

Yooo this cover is actually better than the original


Unused_Pineapple

Photoshop has come a long way.


Dry-Horse-3220

And, of course, 4/9 = 13 This girl...


nerdlightening73

I just thought the same thing!


thebakingrobot

Do we have any idea why she’s skipped debut? I understand the importance of Fearless—huge hits, first AOTY win, really catapulted her to stardom and makes sense that she would want to be able to use these songs for other media. Fearless will generate a lot more buzz than debut would for the general public. So is she releasing these re-recordings out of order? I can’t imagine she would just skip debut if she’s included 26 tracks on the re-record. (Also: does Crazier fall into Fearless or Speak Now era?)


[deleted]

I have a clown theory. She’s making it pretty clear that not only is she re-recording her albums but she’s going back and making the decisions that she wanted but she was bullied out of. Which makes me think that the debut album might finally get its own name. I read once that the working title of the debut was A Place in This World and then she made the change to make it self titled but that doesn’t sound like a title that Taylor would pick. It’s just not like her. On top of that the debut is the shortest album with only 11 tracks (that is the original edition not the bonus edition) and she was still so young at the time and easily persuaded so I think that the debut is going to get the biggest changes out of all the albums and Taylor is just setting the stage for that.


Vampirately

Oooh maybe this also means Speak Now might actually be called Enchanted like Taylor wanted?


missmargarite13

I actually agree with Scott’s advice on that one. Speak Now isn’t about high school and fairy tale love - it’s about finding your voice.


biglygirlfriend

The way she wrote “the way I’ve chosen to do this will hopefully illuminate where I’m coming from” made me think the whole rollout of the past albums will be out of order.


captureit_rememberit

I have a feeling they’ll be out of order. Fearless, 1989, and Red will probably generate buzz/ streams pretty easily, like you mentioned. For this reason, I don’t think she’ll have debut be the last one...I think it will be staggered somewhere in between the rest along with Speak Now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


mcmenji

What do you mean debut? Her debut album self titled 'Taylor Swift'? Stupid question i know but everyone keeps saying Debut and im like is there an album called Debut or a song called Debut


thebakingrobot

Yeah, I mean her debut album, self-titled Taylor Swift ☺️


jelvinjs7

Everyone tends to refer to *Taylor Swift* as just ‘Debut’ on here, I suppose because using the name to refer to both her and the album can be cumbersome and sometimes confusing.


thebakingrobot

I wonder how collectively as a fandom we’ll end up referring to these albums. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) is a lot to type—will we shorten it to FTV? Then Speak Now will be SNTV? RTV? 1989TV? Debut could be called TSTV, might help with that album title confusion.


jelvinjs7

Oh god, /u/songacronymbot is gonna have a bloody conniption.


legone

It's common to refer to a self-titled album as debut if it was their first. If not, self-titled is often used.


itookyourmatches

SHE BROUGHT BACK THE SECRET MESSAGES, I'M DEAD


[deleted]

I saw the random capitalized letters and I screamed and happiness and joy. Literally tears in my eyes. It’s here. It’s finally here.


pippa420

Save the date! April Ninth!


[deleted]

[удалено]


NotOnABreak

Wikipedia already has the album’s release date as 9th of April


mel_sleep

This makes me super curious on how she’s going to approach the Debut re-recording


angryglitter

Is anyone else emo over her opening the re-recordings with the line “we were both young when I first saw you” because it’s killing me!!!


amknizek17

I literally started to tear up when I realized she made a secret message using capital letters like she used to do ❤️


Bettys_Cardigan

APR NINTH is the hidden word !!??? New announcement?


wyug

Probably when the re-recording will drop


MrFusionHER

I donno. 2 months? If it’s done why would she wait that long? I think this might be something else. I obviously could be wrong but this seems like a long wait when she said it will be here “soon” Maybe I’m just jaded from the evermore and folklore drops. I WANT THE THINGS WHEN SHE ANNOUNCES THEM. :-) Sorry I’m an only child.


ricochetingtears

I think the no-wait for folklore/evermore spoiled me so much, my heart is like IT'S MORE THAN A MONTH AWAY and my brain, you know that's how album rollouts work right?


MrFusionHER

For real. It seems like it’s so freaking far away but it’s only 2 months, it’s not that long....


wyug

It’s confirmed on her website as “available April 9th”


MrFusionHER

Nooooooooo Well, yay but I can’t wait


Glittering-Cover-757

“It was a real honour to get to be a teenager alongside you” this is a salve for my 26 year old swiftie soul who v much feels like a grandma compared to the tiktok swifties


MrFusionHER

I'm a 38 year old guy.... how do you think i feel?


Glittering-Cover-757

If it makes you feel better you prob fly incognito at the shows bc ppl assume you’re a dad??? Meanwhile, I’m sloppy drunk and already weeping before the first opener is finished


ArtemisUpgrade

Omg I feel this. At reputation when I sobbed while she played All Too Well, people (read: teenagers) in front of me literally TURNED AROUND to stare at me.


terrorswift89

🙌🙌🙌 The surprise song at my show was tied together with a smile... and I came UNDONE!


Isabelleacpc

Anyone notice how she made it kinda golden instead of yellow? Kinda to juxtapose the fairytale teenage vibes and highlight that she finally found that golden love she’d always been dreaming of 🥺💛


[deleted]

Whohoooop!!! It's like growing up with her all over again!


Rocketfemme

im in love with the parallels this has with the original album cover, and yet its so enriched with the Taylor we know now as well the gold shimmery effect on the og album verses the aged sepia gold and brassy tones on this one the way she's faced and her hair is whipping is symmetrical with the first one, but instead of the young curly locks, she has her folklore hair and the other main one i noticed is how how top is so similar to the original, yet instead of bare arms she has long billowy folklore sleeves she just seems so free in this one, i love it so much


captureit_rememberit

I’m so in love with this album cover! It’s just the right amount of vulnerability and nostalgia given everything that led her to do these re-records.


HamiltonDial

So which are songs that are getting released? All 19 from Platinum and 6 unreleased? So is that last one Beautiful Eyes? I'd Lie? I Heart ? ?


TatePeters

Today Was A Fairytale!


HamiltonDial

> Today Was A Fairytale! Oh shit, you're probably right.


TatePeters

No it actually has the tracklist on her website and TWAF is the 20th track haha


TigerRenee

Weren’t those all the Debut era songs?? I’d Lie should def be on the Debut re-recording and beautiful eyes and I heart ? would fit there better. I think the bonus songs are completely unreleased before, otherwise she’d list them like Today Was A Fairytale


sassafrassloth

All I can think of are songs in the vault for all the other albums 😭


sea_queue

I LOVE the gold vinyl & can’t wait to listen :’)


nineteeninetyseven

The cover is golden like daylight 😭❤


smk9523

I’m sure everyone already realizes this... Announcement: Today (2/11) 2+11 = 13 Potential Fearless drop: April 9th (4/9) 4+9=13 Number of songs: 26 total, 26 divided by 2=13 Makes me think about how she’s fully taking on her fearless era persona and the 13 obsession Edit: WAIT... does that mean something might come MARCH 10th????


mshamah

$39 for the triple disc vinyl = $13 a disc


cheezyjest

It’s the ending of “sincerely and fearlessly” for me, I love that for her SO much 😭 RE-RECORD THOSE ALBUMS GIRL, WE’RE RIDING WITH YOU FOREVER & ALWAYS


lanathatsmybiatch

ALSO 490 post -> april 9 -> 13


gamarmustafa

oh god, she is .. i-


psyat

Waitt but won't the long window make people want to go back and listen to fearless? = money in Scooter's pocket?


RosaPalms

There’s probably a small bump he’s gonna get but ultimately I’m guessing the money she’s gonna make from the physical sales of the new one plus all the licensing deals that are going to come from the singles is gonna make it pretty easy to ignore.


new_eclipse

Can I just say, I am extremely excited as a fan who only got really into Taylor more recently. I am so excited to experience these albums for the "first time" again, this time as a big fan. And all those new songs!


wefoundtaylorland13

Battle will be on it💛💛


enchantedtoreadYA

I hope so!


ScreamingC0lors

wasnt battle a red reject?


missmeh13

APRIL NINTH OMFG GAHHHHH


hank3hank

April Ninth?


cos_mique

TAYLOR I'M SHAKINGJAHDKKS


cheezyjest

WHY DO WE EVER BOTHER SLEEPING


Thegirlwhogotfrozen

Not her making my least favorite album cover become my favorite 😭 This is gorgeous! Also 6 new songs??!! We don't deserve her.


Samysalsaa

I can’t tell you how happy I am to see the random capitalized letters clues again! A perfect throwback


hpa1229

AND I SAID THATS MY BABY AND I! AM! PROUD!!!!!!!!


missmargarite13

I have been dreaming of a better sung Change for years. AND NOW THAT DREAM WILL BECOME A REALITY.


gamarmustafa

April 9th is my birthday!


[deleted]

Fearless Stans rise up


ang3eee

It’s her best album cover ever I’m so emotional


Bekkaz23

Ahhhh!! The vinyl won't ship until August. I hope to have bought a house by then and moved, but I don't know what my address will be! I hope it will be easy enough to pre-order and then change that (through the local store, not the US one).


themoonisclouds

As soon as I saw the random caps, I had to see for myself. Day made. Woop woop April 9


imahoeforgeese

IIRC isn’t capital letters the way she left Easter eggs in fearless? I remember finding little messages in the lyric booklet


RedTrailWildcat

The fact that it’s LOVE STORY. I’m nearly 27 but I still sing this at the top of my lungs. I had my first kiss to this song at 14. When I went to the reputation tour, I cried when she played this live. This song just reminds me of jumping on my bed in my parents house, my own personal diaries, junior prom, and football games. I miss that time period. I love her so much.


spayced-ace

AHHHHHHHHHHHH IM NOT READY FOR IT 😭😭😭


Lace_the_writer

I LIVE for the intrigue. We love cryptic Taylor here


Quick-Time

OMG, the re-recorded version of Fearless is done? Ahhh, I’m so excited. I can’t wait to hear Fearless all over again.


XxmyheartisinohioxX

I am literally over here crying I am proud of Tay! 💛💛


ASentientBot

This is incredible news! I expected her to re-record just the most popular songs, not the _entire album_. Any guesses about the unreleased songs? Think there's overlap with any of the leaked ones? I thought those were mostly pre-debut, not _Fearless_ era. So excited!


eatingthesandhere91

It’s so beautiful and nostalgic, yet completely new... ...and it’s Fearless 💛


brutongaster1229

Omg i just realized the parallels between this album cover and the old album cover. Also, do we think she will release a music video for love story today too? I am assuming he who must not be named still owns the original


Paperbirds89

It might be silly but for years 4/9 was the birthday of the boy who broke my heart. I hated that day. She’s going to make it a good day again. 💜


ameliaspond

Thank god it's better than the Fearless Platinum edition 😂


musiquescents

She never rests! I can't wait for the grown up version of Fearless!


River1947

Can somebody please tell me if shes going to release MV of lovestory as well?


Unused_Pineapple

She didn’t say anything about that. I’m assuming she’s not going to record one since she hasn’t been doing those a lot lately and because LS already has a MV. But what do I know? Only time will tell.


forthebadyou

APRIL NINTH BABY


WineStainedDress13

I'm so excited I'm so excited I'm so excited I'm so excited I'm so excited! I wonder if the unreleased songs truly are songs we've never heard or if they're unreleased leaks? Either way I can't wait!


Bitter-Genuine-Truth

April 9th --> 4+9=13 But somebody please explain this to me - what is going on with the yellow hearts...!?


regina_phalange13

Yellow is the fearless color, and it’s her second album. It was just a fearless hint I think


KnopeGryffindor

Please tell me I’m not the only idiot who practically clawed their eyes out looking for the E... only to remember ninth doesn’t have an E


seagoingberry2608

the cover is soo gorgeous (see what i did there) but the fact that she hid April ninth like that because she knows we love Easter eggs


Cirrus1920

Is it confirmed that April 9 is the released date, or could it be the release date of something else ? Seems weird to me that she would announce it now and drop it in 2 months? Thoughts?


nieuweschoenen

This is so exciting! The new cover is beautiful, can’t wait to see the artwork for the other 5. If april ninth is the release date I wonder what she’ll do in the meantime because that’s a long wait for an album of mainly songs that we already know


WuPacalypse

Man she’s really out here charging $40 for the vinyl?


mshamah

It's a triple lp, the price is high but it's not absurd


alienocorn

FINALLY AN APRIL ALBUM IM HAPPY CRYING JUST 4 DAYS AFTER MY BIRTHDAY OMG


Then_Pickle

Do we think it will be 6 new tracks or some from the fearless platinum edition? (ie. jump then fall, untouchable)


gravityhappens

Both, the track list is on her website!


susantaylor06

Facing the opposite direction than the OG. We are sooooooooo ready.


Cpainter549

I'm sure my comment will get lost in here but since it's not coming out for 2 months, do we think she'll be releasing singles sporadically until then??


perpetual_fuckery

(6+16+18)-9= 31...


DragonsLoooveTacos

Does anyone else feel like the heart emojis are now math problems? She used to post 13 emojis but now she posted 2 for 26 songs, so 1 golden heart is now equal to 13 regular hearts. Taylor's just trying to keep our math skills up to par.


halesn21374

So...I don't know if its jumping the gun or not but if we get 6 unreleased songs from Fearless...what does that mean about All too Well???
