Taylor Swift Reveals Four Bonus ‘Vault’ Tracks for ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’
After Swifties solved 33 million puzzles in a mad dash to reveal the “Vault” tracks slated for Taylor Swift’s upcoming 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album, the singer finally revealed which extra songs will appear on her latest re-record project.
The announced tracks that will accompany the album’s Oct. 27th release are: “Is It Over Now?,” “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Say Don’t Go” and “Suburban Legends.” That, of course, was not enough, as fans immediately demanded to know the name of a fifth bonus song that Swift has promised would be on the collection, as well as a Target-exclusive tune that has not yet been announced.
As with all things Swift, Google was overwhelmed by a a mad crush of activity on Tuesday (Sept. 19) when it launched a new pop-up animation to honor the anticipated 1989 release. The 89 puzzles fans were encouraged to solve to unlock the “Taylor’s Vault” tracks resulted in so much Googling that the search engine admitted it was more than the world’s leading search destination could even handle. “Swifties, the vault is jammed! But don’t worry, there are not blank spaces inside,” it tweeted Tuesday evening. “We’re in our fix-it era and will be out of the woods soon.”
It didn’t last long, though, with Google updating the status of the search on Wednesday with another barrage of Swift-related puns, “Swifties, we made it out of the woods! Bridges, built. Codes, cracked. Vault, opened.”
Swift announced the 1989 version in August, making it the fourth “Version” she’s released, since announcing her re-recording project in 2019. The previous three all spent time at No. 1 on the Billboard 200: Fearless (Taylor’s Version) with two weeks in 2021, Red (Taylor’s Version) with one week in 2021, and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with two weeks in 2023.
