I looked at this, asking, “That’s when WHAT?” But let me tell you: it’s catchy. This is a classic case of Swift’s perfectly constructed musical dichotomies, where the instrumentals are really upbeat while the lyrics are actually sad, perhaps an attempt at mimicking the lyrics: “Sunny or stormy / Laughing, when I’m crying.”Īt first, I admit that I was a bit dubious of the incomplete clause in the title. Swift collaborates with Keith Urban on a song dealing with the aftermath of a failed relationship. This is probably one of my favorite Taylor Swift duets of all time. It also has some pretty memorable lyrics, especially the chorus line: “‘Cause you took me home, but you just couldn’t keep me.” That being said, one of them had to be at the bottom, and “Bye Bye Baby” is it: it’s not worth skipping, but it’s just not as iconic as the rest of the Vault songs. “Bye Bye Baby” captures the energy that a lot of songs from the Fearless era had: being young and having your heart broken (set to incredible country instrumentals, of course). It feels almost unfair to put this track at the bottom of the ranking because it is objectively a great song. So whether you’re a longtime Swiftie or a brand-new fan, this one’s for you: here is every single “From the Vault” song from Fearless (Taylor’s Version) ranked. That doesn’t mean they aren’t iconic bops, though, and, honestly, it’s a wonder how Swift could withhold these incredible songs for over a decade. The biggest surprise was the announcement of six previously unreleased songs, labeled as “From the Vault.” The Vault songs had been written during the Fearless era, but they ended up being scrapped from the original album. Nonetheless, as many Swifties know, Swift doesn’t make an announcement without at least some sort of curveball. The re-recorded album doesn’t have that many lyrical or instrumental changes compared to its 2008 counterpart. Because the master recordings of her first six albums are currently owned by the label Big Machine Records, Swift has decided to re-release her former projects, now as “Taylor’s Version.” While discussion of this endeavor has been underway for months, fans finally got a taste of the re-recording project on April 9 with the release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (2021).įearless (Taylor’s Version) will undoubtedly send many into a nostalgic trip of embarrassingly dancing around their rooms while using a hairbrush as a microphone. Swift is re-recording her first six studio albums to own her music moving forward in her career. After having perhaps the most productive quarantine creative process with the albums folklore (2020) and evermore (2020), Taylor Swift started 2021 not by diving into a new era but by revisiting the past.
