Taylor Swift will release This Love (Taylor's Version) as a surprise release tonight. 

It's the greatest hint yet that the pop superstar is readying for the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), her blockbuster fifth studio album. 

This Love (Taylor's Version) is featured in the teaser trailer for new Amazon Prime Video original series The Summer I Turned Pretty, and will be available for fans to listen to from midnight (more likely to be around 5am UK time, btw).

"I’ve always been so proud of this song," Taylor said in a statement, "and I’m very 🥺🥺🥺 about this turn of events!"

Also, the title states that the song featured on the deluxe of 1989, but it was also on the standard edition.

To be fair, I think she's going to save 1989 until last. She released Wildest Dreams TV before RED TV, so my theory is she'll keep dropping Taylor's versions of 1989 tracks between her other albums. As 1989 is her biggest album to date, she'd be mad not to leave it until last cus it makes it more special. I think debut will be next, then reputation, then speak now, then 1989, and if not that then swap debut and speak now around.

Don't forget Reputation is time locked as it was the last out of the gates in 2017, so Taylor cannot do a TV of it until at least 2023 as she cannot start rerecording until November 2022 at the earliest. I do think Reputation will be the penultimate before her debut. My reasoning for debiut being last is that I do wonder if it would get to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 200 in US. I think all the others will, which would give her an unbroken run of 13 number 1's, a number she would certainly be aiming for. Also she's got to get a new album out before too long so they can plan any future tour based on it especially after Loverfest went south because of COVID. I think she's probably rerecorded both Speak Now and 1989, but is holding back on 1989 until the Hall/Butler "Shake It Off" case which is still ongoing, is resolved - the other Graham case seems to have finally hit the buffers.

I completely agree with all of this, except for the debut album going number 1. I would bet that Taylor is fully prepared to go all in for that album rollout - plenty of great vault tracks and features with Shania Twain, Kelsea Ballerini, potentially Dolly Parton, on top of simultaneous vinyl and signed CDs of release week. Debut is going to be a sure lock for number 1 in both US and UK - she knows she can't afford to lose the number 1 streak for her albums in two of the biggest music markets when she is known as an album artist. I'm very grateful she secured RED TV with signed copies.. that was a tense week between her LM, ABBA and Ed!
