The singer performed six sold-out shows at SoFi Stadium as part of her Eras Tour and during her final night on August 9, 2023, she revealed that she was unveiling a new version of the record, which topped the charts in 2014.
It was the latest step in her mission to regain control of her past material after talent manager Scooter Braun acquired the rights to her earlier music in 2019.
"Since I was a teenager I wanted to own my music and the way to do it was to re-record my albums and call them Taylor's Version," the singer said, to deafening screams and cheers.

"The way that you have embraced that, the way that you have celebrated that. You really decided that it was your fight too and that you were 100% behind me and if I cared about it you cared about it... thank you for that. It was so generous of you to care about something that I care about," Swift added.
Teasing some big news as she commented on it being the last night of the US leg of the Eras Tour, Swift shared that there was something she had been planning for a "ridiculously" long time.
She then pointed towards a screen behind her as the artwork for 1989 (Taylor's Version) flashed up, sending the crowd wild.
The star opened up about the new album further on Instagram, telling her Swifties that the 1989 album "changed my life in countless ways."
"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," she said. "I can't believe they were ever left behind. But not for long!"
