1989 (Taylor’s Version), the fourth in Swift's series of re-recorded albums, also became Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day in 2023 so far – another record that Swift previously held for Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
In addition to new recordings of the tracks from the original 2014 album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) includes five “vault tracks,” unreleased songs from the same era that didn’t make the initial cut.
