The Atlantic Taylor Swift Misses the Old Taylor Swift, Too The artist’s first release from her re-recording project is much more than a nostalgia play. It’s a love letter. Emma McIntyre / AMA2019 / Getty / The Atlantic When Taylor Swift, the pandemic’s mostproductive pop star, announced that she’d be re-recording her albums in a push for ownership over her work, the venture sounded risky. Swift cast her decision as both a personal vendetta against the music executive Scooter Braun and a moralistic stand against the industry’s treatment of artists. But at face value, re-recordings seem to offer little to look forward to for listeners. Ostensibly, these tracks are near-identical to the masters, with the same lyrics and production.
