- Taylor Swift will release "1989 (Taylor's Version)" on October 27.
- The release date is exactly nine years after the original album was released in 2014.
Taylor Swift announced on Wednesday that "1989 (Taylor's Version)" will be available October 27.
Swift has re-recorded the album, which was originally released under Big Machine Records on the same date in 2014, as part of a bid to own all of her own music.
"The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways, and it fills me with such excitement to announce that my version of it will be out October 27th," Swift said as part of a statement shared on social media, alongside an image of the new album cover.
The original album marked Swift's transition from country-pop to pop music.
The singer's style also changed during this time period. She debuted her short hair in 2014, and that same year her wardrobe consisted of crop tops, sunglasses, and sparkly outfits with daring cut-outs.
As fans continue to recreate the star's best looks for her 2023 Eras tour, it's likely that "1989" will serve as inspiration. Here are some of Swift's best looks from the original "1989" era, which lasted from the album's release in November 2014 until the end of her tour of the same name in December 2015.
In the video for "Blank Space," Swift wore a striped Stephanie Waldrip co-ord with her signature red lip and sunglasses.
Taylor Swift's "Blank Space" was the second single from the "1989" album, and the music video premiered two weeks after the album's release on November 10, 2014.
She wore a handful of iconic outfits in the video, including this striped Stephanie Waldrip co-ord paired with Linda Farrow sunglasses, InStyle reported at the time.
Swift became known for crop tops during this time. She paired a black crop top with a purple, high-wasted skirt, a green sequinned jacket, and white sunglasses while performing on tour.
Swift wore the ensemble during "Welcome to New York," the opening song of her 1989 world tour. The tour kicked off in Los Angeles in May 2015, according to ABC News, and she completed the final leg in Australia in November of that year, Daily Mail reported at the time.
Swift wore a sparkly black bra and matching shorts to perform at the Victoria's Secret fashion show in December 2014.
Swift wore the daring ensemble to perform alongside her then-close friend Karlie Kloss.
She also performed in a satin, pink nightgown at the same event, Insider's Samantha Grindell and Amanda Krause previously reported.
The musician made nine outfit changes during the tour, and one of her most glamorous looks was a sequinned, fringe leotard.
Her nine outfit changes during the 1989 tour, as reported by Daily Mail in May 2015, are nothing compared to how many looks she has worn during the 2023 Eras tour.
Swift has worn at least 16 different looks for the concert, drawing inspiration from the past 17 years of her career, Capital FM reported in July 2023.
Swift wore a Balmain jumpsuit with daring cutouts and a plunging neckline at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards.

At the 2015 iHeartRadio Music Awards, Swift wore a sparkly minidress with side cut-outs.
The dress was designed by Kaufmanfranco and paired with Tamara Mellon heels, Us Weekly reported at the time.
