Taylor Swift's 1989: The stories behind her biggest album
On 27 October, Taylor Swift will release a new version of 1989 - the biggest-selling album of her career, and the one that definitively turned her into a pop star. On her previous records, Taylor played the role of an awkward teenager or a heartbroken 20-something. Now, Taylor has re-recorded it from scratch, part of an ongoing campaign to regain control of her work, after an investment company bought her master tapes in 2019.
