  • Taylor Swift drops new single ‘Mr Perfectly Fine’ ahead of ‘Fearless’ re-release

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift surprised her fans on Wednesday by dropping a brand new single titled ‘Mr Perfectly Fine (From The Vault)’ from her upcoming album ‘Fearless’ (Taylor’s Version).

    The upbeat track, that features both country and pop influences, has Swift singing about a former lover who moved on with a new girl and has no qualms about his prior relationship.

    On Twitter, Swift had revealed that the song was originally written for her 2008 album ‘Fearless’, but it did not make the final cut.

    During the opening of ‘Mr Perfectly Fine’ Swift sings “Mr. perfect face. Mr. here to stay. Mr. look me in the eye and told me you would never go away.”

    The chorus then takes a turn after discovering the would-be perfect man is not all that perfect.

    This surprise release by Swift comes days after she shared the album’s official tracklist featuring 27 songs, including ‘You All Over Me’ featuring Maren Morris, ‘We Were Happy’, ‘Bye, Bye, Baby’, ‘That’s When’ featuring Keith Urban, and ‘Don’t You’, which were originally left off ‘Fearless’ in 2008.

    As per Variety, Swift’s decision to re-record all her previous albums came after her musical masters were acquired in a deal by Scooter Braun’s Big Machine Records. The Grammy-winner has been hard at work over the last year re-recording her ‘Fearless’ album to take ownership of her original songs as her contract with her ex-label is now over.

    In November 2020, Swift was legally allowed to re-record her first five albums, which music producer Braun gained ownership of last year following his USD 330 million deal with Big Machine Label Group. Swift previously spoke out after Braun sold her masters to a company called Shamrock Holdings for USD 300 million.

    ‘Fearless’ won four Grammys when it was released and features tracks such as ‘You Belong with Me’, ‘Hey Stephen’, and ‘Fifteen’. The re-recorded version of the album is set to release on Friday.

    By ANI
    WASHINGTON: Feeding into Swifties’ love of Easter eggs and delving deeper into potential hidden meanings, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift shared a cryptic video announcing her ‘Fearless’ bonus tracks.

    Swift’s fans were in a social media frenzy on Friday after the singer dropped a teaser ahead of the release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version).

    The Grammy-winning hitmaker posted a mysterious video on her social media where a series of scrambled letters come out of an animated gold vault as cryptic music played in the background.

    Along with the video, she wrote, “The vault door is about to be as unhinged as you’ll think I am after you watch this video. Level: Expert. Happy decoding.”

    Her most dedicated fans accepted the challenge and decoded the video within minutes of her post with some believing that the star is hinting at the song titles of her six never-before-released tracks from the new album — and perhaps a new track with singer Keith Urban.

    “This is what I’ve decoded. One of the songs features KEITH URBAN,” one fan wrote.

    The two have previously collaborated on his track ‘Highway Don’t Care’.

    Many fans think the following new songs will be included on the Fearless re-release: ‘You All Over Me’ featuring Maren Morris, ‘We Were Happy’, ‘Bye, Bye, Baby’, ‘That’s When’, ‘Mr. Perfectly Fine’ and ‘Don’t You’.

    One Twitter user speculated that ‘Bye, Bye, Baby’ is “Probably the new name of ‘One Thing’” — and several other Twitter users have been reacting to Swift’s vault challenge with hillarious memes.

    Last week, Swift dropped ‘You All Over Me (From the Vault)’ featuring Maren Morris. It marks the first of the new six tracks that will appear on the upcoming Fearless (Taylor’s Version) — set to debut this month, reported People magazine.

    Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will feature re-recordings of 20 songs from her sophomore album Fearless. Former Nashville record company Big Machine Label Group (where she first signed at age 15) previously owned the rights to the album following its November 11, 2008 release.As per People magazine, during an appearance on Good Morning America in February, Swift revealed that the six new additions “almost made [it on] the original Fearless album.”

    Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will release on April 9.
