Taylor Swift wrapped up her “Eras Tour” at Los Angeles’s SoFi Stadium, revealing a much-anticipated announcement to her fans. During a surprise song segment, she confirmed her next re-recorded album would be the 2014 megahit “1989.” The singer expressed her gratitude for her fans’ support in embracing her journey to re-record her initial six albums. Displaying the album art on a massive screen, she announced “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” with a slated release date in October. Swift, known for including unreleased “from the vault” tracks with her re-recorded albums, called the five tracks from this album her “most favorite re-record,” expressing disbelief that they were previously left out. Renowned for marking her shift from country-pop to full pop music, “1989” garnered 10 Grammy nominations and three wins. Following “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” Swift is set to re-record “Reputation” and her self-titled debut album, continuing her re-recording journey. The “Eras Tour” resumes internationally on August 24 in Mexico City, while “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is anticipated for release on October 27.
