i love acting like 1989tv is going to catapult me into a 1989 phase when we've done this three times already so i know that actually i'll listen to it once in full and be like huh these sound mildly different in a way that is so uncanny to me because of how well i know the originals and then i will only listen to the vault tracks and in a year will finally warm up to the album and have a belated 1989 phase :)

#and honestly? not complaining at all #i keep forgetting speak now tv is out #and i had my taylor discography playlist on the other day in the car and a speak now song came on (mean maybe?) and i was like half paying #attention and halfway through the song i'm like why the fuck does this sound so weird?#like girl did you forget about taylor lautner backflip?? hello????????#it's wild how ppl moralize liking/not liking the rerecords on here (on both sides of the equation) and it's such a tired convo so i hate #posting about it bc really what am i adding to this discussion #but if anyone cares my stance is that music and memory is so personal and if your excitement about the rerecords #and the technical/vocal improvements in the (earlier especially) recordings works better for you then that's so awesome!!#i wish my creature-of-habit brain could work a little more like that truly bc i think i would have a teeny bit more fun with this #but if you're like me and have gotten used to/emotionally attached to specific vocal performances and tiny details #take ur timeeeeeeee <3 the best part about music is that once it's out it's not going anywhere #the best feeling is when you start having those attachments to the rerecorded version of a song (state of graceeeeeee)#and if that adjustment never happens for u then that's also fine (although it takes two seconds to put those mp3s of all the albums u def #have lying around somewhere into a silly little spotify playlist and listen to those instead of streaming the ogs. turn on local files!!!!)#anyway. i love not giving scooter braun/ppl who treat music as an investment instead of an art money <3 #and i love that the rerecords have bene giving us a chance to really reflect upon and celebrate specific albums and eras for a prolonged #period of time. especially as someone who missed most of these when they were happening.#vi is typing...
