“Instant Classic” – Rolling Stone, Angie Martoccio
“1989 is the album that changed everything for Swift, but also for us. After 1989, everyone became a Swiftie…” – Rolling Stone, Angie Martoccio
“1989 (Taylor’s Version) shines a lot brighter. Standing on the beach, in the clear and out of the woods, so does Swift.” – Rolling Stone, Angie Martoccio
“…the sheer quantity/quality of anthems… remains astounding.” – Rolling Stone UK, Mark Sutherland
“And so, to put things in equally extraordinary context, ‘1989’ could have been the greatest pop album of 1989. It was undoubtedly the greatest pop album of 2014. And now, this new version could well be the greatest pop album of 2023.” – Rolling Stone UK, Mark Sutherland
“‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ feels more symbolic than her previous re-releases. Not only is it another step closer to having a full back catalogue of albums that she will own, but it’s also a celebration of the moment Swift really took ownership of her pop sound.” – NME, Hollie Geraghty
“As we’re witnessing the biggest year of Swift’s career so far, the artist’s ability to reinvent herself while honouring her core blueprint is only becoming more impressive. By journeying into the past, it’s a reminder that the future of Taylor Swift may hold so much more that will continue to surprise us.” – NME, Hollie Geraghty
“1989 (Taylor's Version) is an impeccable remake of her best album.” – The Daily Telegraph, Neil McCormick
“All of the new songs are satisfyingly deft and clever, replete with sinuous melodies, burbling synths and agitated percussion that correspond with the updated eighties stylings of the original.” – The Daily Telegraph, Neil McCormick
“It’s the kind of dazzling songcraft and pointed delivery that reminds us that, when it comes to Swift, we should accept no substitutes.” – The Daily Telegraph, Neil McCormick
“Swift’s revamp of her 2014 smash is her most faithful re-recording yet: a time capsule enhanced by pertinent cutting room floor tracks that show she never goes out of style” – The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti
“It’s over for the doubters: you just can’t argue with Taylor Swift any more. You can’t argue with her fanbase, immaculately devout and mind-bogglingly populous. You can’t argue with her songcraft: masterfully generic in a sonic sense; startlingly distinctive in a lyrical one. You can’t argue with her positive impact on the lives of her devotees.” – The Guardian, Rachel Aroesti
“The singer’s new recording of her first pure pop album is a triumph” – The Times, Will Hodgkinson
“…it all adds up to a masterclass in mainstream songwriting. This is the album that turned Taylor Swift into the biggest singer of modern times. Nine years after it was first released, you can see why.” – The Times, Will Hodgkinson
“It is a snapshot of an artist going places at the speed of light ... How thrilling to travel back in time and watch Swift achieving lift-off all over again.” – iNews, Ed Power
“This re-recorded 2014 album – and the five vault tracks – confirm that few pop stars can compete with Swift’s effervescence as a songwriter.” – iNews, Ed Power
“The album documents young adulthood, the most exhilarating and error-strewn period of a person’s life, in the highly engineered setting of the perfect pop song.” – The Financial Times, Ludovic Hunter-Tilney
“These “From the Vault” tracks are among the best of those to appear so far in the re-recording project.” – The Financial Times, Ludovic Hunter-Tilney
“4 Stars” – The Evening Standard, David Smyth
“It’s no wonder she’s so far ahead of everyone else.” – The Evening Standard, David Smyth
“It’s a reminder that in the quest for living your truth, reinvention is not only possible, but necessary.” – TIME, Raisa Bruner
“9/10” – Clash, Alex Berry
“…there is a clear elevation in ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ compared to its original.” – Clash, Alex Berry
“The instrumentals, which are plentiful on this album, are cleaner and more impressive. Her vocals are some of her best yet, with crystal clear pronunciation and a powerful impact that separates this in quality from even some of her recent albums.” – Clash, Alex Berry
“She knows what never goes out of style…” – Variety, Chris Willman
“Every song is still as all-encompassing and anthemic as the next and, if anything, Swift’s vocals are more powerful and punchy than ever.” – The Line of Best Fit, Kelsey Barnes
“1989 (Taylor’s Version) should reignite the excitement that its original era brought for fans and pop music as a whole – it's Swift being reborn, again, in her own way.” – The Line of Best Fit, Kelsey Barnes
“Taylor Swift is the most confident she’s ever been on her version of 1989.” – Notion, Rachel Martin
“Swift invites us to revisit that moment when she came into her own — not only as an artist, but as a mastermind of her own image and identity.” – Harpers Bazaar, Dani Maher
“Taylor Swift outdid herself in the hit department with this record.” – American Songwriter, Alex Hopper
“With “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” the pop superstar has given us her most ambitious rerecorded album yet.” – The Daily Beast, Helen Holmes
“On ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’, Taylor Swift Bends Time” – Esquire UK, Henry Wong
“Amid sonic updates and new tracks, the most startling aspect of this album is how viscerally it both transports you to 2014 and also reminds you how huge Swift is in 2023. You don’t need to ask why so many fade. That’s obvious: they don’t have the talent or the work ethic. And why is Swift still here? That was obvious then, but it’s even more obvious now.” – Esquire UK, Henry Wong
