After announcing last week the long-awaited 1989 (Taylor’s Version), Taylor Swift is offering a limited-edition “Sunrise Boulevard” vinyl of the album.
The yellow-colored vinyl is available on the singer’s website for pre-order for 48 hours.
Swifter recently announced that she is giving the crew of the tour $53 million in bonuses.
Fans were eager to hear about the 1989 (Taylor’s Version) release.
“Since I was a teenager I’ve wanted to own my own music and the way to do that was to re-record my albums,” the singer explained.
“So now, here we are on the last night of the U.S., leg of the Eras Tour, in the eighth month of the year, and the ninth day,” she said during her L.A concert last week.
“There’s something that I’ve been planning for a really, really, really, ridiculously embarrassingly long time. And I think instead of just like telling you about it, I think I’ll just sort of show you something I’ve been excited to show you,” Swift ended with a revealing of a backdrop with an updated 1989 album cover and a release date of October 27.
The new cover for the album – which can now be pre-ordered – includes a photo of Swift with her hair blowing in the wind, against a sky-blue background surrounded by flying seagulls. She wears red lipstick with a smile.
After the surprise, Swift treated fans with a performance of her song “New Romantics.” Another highlight from the concert was an eight-minute standing ovation following her performance of “Champagne Problems.”
In an Instagram post, Swift followed up with “Surprise!! 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is on its way to you 🔜!”
“The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th,” she added. “To be perfectly honest, this is my most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane. I can’t believe they were ever left behind. But not for long! Pre order 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on my site 😎.”
The news did not surprise fans, who had guessed that Swift’s version of 1989 would be next – and that the re-release would be announced during her performance in L.A. Afterward, Swift seemed to soak in the celebratory atmosphere of the night, as a fan video has shown her drinking wine.
