Whether you've been up since midnight streaming 1989 (Taylor's Version) or are eagerly awaiting your limited-edition vinyl delivery, we wish you happy listening. And while I'm sure you already know all the lyrics, one of the best ways to take in the album is with an epic sound system.

Samsung gets this too and is bundling an 85-inch 4K QLED TV with a wireless soundbar and subwoofer for just, and you probably guessed it, $1,989. That’s a massive $1,510 in savings on a visually immersive TV and a soundbar that will let Swifts' vocals shine.

You'll need to move swiftly as it's a flash sale for Samsung Week, a celebration of deals for the tech giant's 54th anniversary.

85-inch Class QE1C QLED 4K TV and HW-Q700C Soundbar, $1,989 (was $3,499) at Samsung

Samsung

Get It.

Considering the 85-inch size, this Samsung television will quickly become the centerpiece of your home entertainment setup. It can be wall-mounted, and we’d recommend going the professional install route, given the size, or placed on the included two-piece stand.

The design here is pretty basic, unlike The Frame TV by Samsung, so the focus will be immersion in whatever you’re watching. You’ll find slim black bezels all around and easy access to ports, including 3 HDMI ports, on the rear.

While this isn’t an OLED or Neo QLED Samsung TV, this is still a QLED, meaning it has a layer of LEDs—specifically Dual LED backlighting—and a layer of Quantum Dots. The result will be a balanced viewing experience with punchy colors that should make myriad content look great. You could watch Taylor’s music video for Bejeweled or stream a classic rom-com. Built into Samsung’s Tizen interface are applications for all the major streaming services and Apple Music. This way, you can get to playing back 1989 (Taylor’s Version) without any delay.

In terms of the savings on this 85-inch QE1C QLED, it’s pretty massive at $1,200 off. The other part of this bundle is improved sound courtesy of a wireless soundbar and subwoofer, which is also discounted by by $300, a considerable amount off a Dolby Atmos capable sound system.

You get a proper 3.1.2 Dolby Atmos mix with a soundbar that will place sound out the front, sides, and even the top. It’s paired with a substantial subwoofer and provides a cinematic audio experience. It will calibrate to your specific space for the best sound possible. Considering you can stream most of Taylor Swift’s records in Dolby Atmos, it will deliver a great listening experience for those hits.

If you’re sold on this Taylor Swift-themed TV bundle, you can score it from Samsung right now. It should be auto-selected on the 85-inch QE1C landing page, but ensure “Buy a 85QE1C and a HW-Q700C together for $1,989.99” is selected under special offers.

You can also stream 1989 (Taylor’s Version) on Apple Music or Amazon Music, as well as get a physical copy from Amazon.
