#TAYLOR SWIFT THE VAULT TV#

Taylor wrote ‘Forever Winter’ with Mark Foster back in 2012 and it’s just as bleak as the title sounds. It sounds softer and dreamier than the original, with the catchy addition of “what about your promisespromises” making it more pop. Fans have been begging for a solo version ever since and now our ears have been blessed with it. Taylor sang the backing vocals, starred in the music video and performed it twice on her reputation tour. Written with Train’s Pat Monahan, ‘Babe’ was given to country music duo Sugarland who released it as a single in 2018. Now we finally have a solo studio version and it’s just as beautiful as we expected. The song received a Grammy nomination and won Song of the Year at the 2017 CMAs. In 2016, Little Big Town released ‘Better Man’ as the lead single from their album – a country song which Taylor is the sole writer of.

Just listening to it makes me feel like a teenager in love for the first time – perhaps intentionally, as Taylor sings “ I wish I could fly / I’d pick you up and we’d go back in time.” You can hear her smiling throughout the song and I love that for her. Sonically, this track reminds me of ‘Holy Ground’ which is probably why I love it so much. I’m in awe at how Taylor so effortlessly manages to capture the magic of young love in just three minutes. “You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath” killed me. I screamed when I heard “fuck the patriarchy”. It’s even better than I imagined and honestly I’m still recovering.

The day we’ve all been waiting for is here! Swifties have spent the best part of the last 10 years lovingly harassing Taylor to release the infamous 10 minute version of All Too Well and our hard work has finally paid off. Here’s my official Red (Taylor’s Version) vault songs ranking: They add more depth to the story, are layered with emotion that’s so palpable you’d be forgiven for mistaking as current, and add to the intricately eclectic tapestry of Red. The Red (Taylor’s Version) vault songs are just as beautiful (and heartbreaking) as we expected.

Red TV has 9 of these ‘from the vault’ tracks, reimagined with new mastering, bringing the mega-sized tracklist up to 30 songs. Like her first rerecorded release Fearless (Taylor’s Version) back in April, the record also includes unreleased songs written during the original era that almost made it on to the album. Not only that, she’s also releasing her first ever short film based on the 10 minute version of All Too Well. On Thursday night she appeared back-to-back on both The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers tomorrow she’ll be the musical guest on Saturday Night Live. Taylor’s had a busy release weekend so far and isn’t set to slow down any time soon.
