Taylor Swift sent her fans into a frenzy after releasing a new version of one of her hit songs from her 1989 album.
She teased the debut of This Love (Taylor's Version) on Thursday when she posted a trailer of Amazon teen drama The Summer I Turned Pretty, which features the song on its soundtrack, before announcing it would be released the following day.
Taylor also got fans excited following its official re-release as she hinted at possibly redoing the 1989 album, she wrote on Instagram : "This Love (My version!) is out & I’m currently reliving the 1989 tour in my head and spiraling, it’s fine."
One fan took to Twitter, describing their reaction with lyrics from the song: "I fell to my knees".
Another went detective as they found a connection for This Love (Taylor's Version)'s release date.
They wrote: "No, you’ve gotta be kidding me… This Love TV was announce on 5th may and guess what? 1989 tour kicked off on 5th May 2015.
"Of course she mentioned 1989 tour on the post for it."
A third Swiftie speculated the next song to be re-released: "The spaces she used when she typed the word midnight. Is this a sign for 1989 TV or Style TV?"
The 32-year-old vowed to re-record her first six albums when she signed for Universal's Republic Records in November 2018 following a dispute with her first record label, Big Machine Records.
Swift signed for Big Machine Records in 2005 as a fresh-faced teenage country singer and the label helped transform her into the music superstar that she is today.
However when her contract expired four years ago, Big Machine Records still owned the masters - the original recordings - of the six studio albums she had recorded with them and, despite trying to buy the masters back from the company, Swift failed in her bid to own her back catalog of music.
In June 2019, she became embroiled in a heavily-publicised dispute with record executive Scooter Braun, who is the manager of acts such as Ariana Grande, Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber, when his holding company, Ithaca Holdings, bought Big Machine Records.
This meant Braun owned the masters to Taylor's first six albums and she condemned Ithaca's acquisition by branding him an "incessant, manipulative bully" on a Tumblr post. In 2020, Ithaca sold the rights to Shamrock Holdings for $300 million.
She has been re-releasing songs and albums ever since, adding (Taylor's Version) to their titles.
Swift re-released Love Story (Taylor's Version) as a single, alongside other tracks 'You All Over Me' and Mr. Perfectly Fine', before Fearless (Taylor's Version) became the first re-recorded album to reach number one on the Billboard 200.
Red (Taylor's Version) became the second re-recorded album to come out in 2021 and she also released Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) as a single track last September.
