The official album cover of “1989 (Taylor’s version).”

Over the past few years, pop star Taylor Swift has been in the process of re-recording her first six albums after the original records were sold by her former record label. So far, Swift has already rerecorded four of her albums: “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” “Red (Taylor’s Version),” “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and her most recent album, “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” released on Friday, Oct. 27.

In each album that Swift rerecords, she releases a couple of brand-new songs from “The Vault.” In her newest rerecorded album “1989 (Taylor’s version),” five new songs were released from the vault which are “Slut! (Taylor’s Version), “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version),” “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version),” “Suburban Legends (Taylor’s Version)” and lastly “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version).”

My most loved song from “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” was “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version)” because the production sounded like her song “Clean” which is from her original 1989 album and that has been a personal favorite of mine ever since I started listening to Swift. Recently, I have been loving and obsessing over “Is it over now? (Taylor’s Version)” as a vault track because the production and her voice sounds a lot different than most of her other songs. This makes it so unique to me and the fact that I can really hear the growth in her singing career, not only in just this song but also in the “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” album itself.

The big conspiracy behind all her vault tracks from 1989 and the album itself is that they could possibly be about her ex-boyfriend and former music artist Harry Styles, especially in her song “Wonderland” with the lyrics “Didn’t you flash your green eyes at me.” I do have to say that some of the production from her 1989 vault track “Suburban Legends” does sound a lot to me like some of her “Midnights” songs productions, which is her most recent album, but I’m not complaining because I absolutely loved her “Midnights.”

So far, Taylor Swift has released 26 vault songs including one of her most popular tracks, a 10-minute version of “All Too Well” from her “Red” album. The only complications with her “1989 (Taylor’s version)” album was that “Bad blood” was re-released as the version without Kendrick Lamar’s feature. The problem eventually later on got fixed that day and now there are two available versions of “Bad Blood” in the album. Overall, I think I can speak for most Swifties when I say that Swift did a phenomenal job at recreating “1989” and we simply cannot wait for “Reputation (Taylor’s Version).”

Now that she has the chance, she's excited to jumpstart her journalism career for the Knight Writers. "I've been wanting to take journalism for so long, but I always had a bunch of classes that I needed to take so I wasn't getting put into the class, but I finally got it," Scott said. Scott is excited to write stories that express her opinions in newspaper and allow her to interact with people around the school by interviewing people for stories and gaining their input for events. "I prefer to interview just because I actually like interacting with people and I feel like it's a fun way to do journalism. I just like interacting with people and interviewing them and getting their opinion, " Scott said. Outside of newspaper, she participates in numerous school clubs such as Knightmare and Student Government Association (SGA.) She plans to rejoin Knightmare this year and is eager to begin with her first year as an SGA member. As Sofia enters her last years of high school, she plans to attend college or trade school to become an esthetician, keeping in line with her interest in beauty and makeup. "I think I'm going to move towards going into psychology when I major in college, maybe later I go to a trade school or become like an esthetician or something like that because that stuff has always interested me," Scott said.
