Taylor Swift has arrived on TikTok, and has already amassed more than one million followers in just a few hours. Her debut video has shown her in various Swift eras, harking back to her music of old.
Swift has been rerecording her previous albums, with bonus tracks and new collaborations, after she lost the rights to the masters for her first six albums.
The first to be rerecorded was Fearless. Red will be second, coming out in November 2021.
Fans are getting excited about potential new collaborations in the future, and with more rerecorded songs to come, the possibilities are endless.
All The Eras In Taylor Swift TikTok Video
@taylorswift Lots going on at the moment: Red (my version) vinyl is up for presale on my site and oh I’m on tiktok now let the games begin 😺 #SwiftTok
♬ original sound - Taylor Swift
Throughout the video, Swift is rapping to the song "Screwface Capital" by British rapper Dave, which namedrops to the singer.
She lipsyncs along to the words: "Six-figure discussions, dinners in public/My linen all tailored/My outstanding payments swift like Taylor."
As she lipsyncs, different aesthetic versions of the singer appear, as she reveals the album release dates for two of her new albums, and her most recent rerecordings.
The first is folklore, for which Swift is dressed in an outfit similar to her music video for the song "Cardigan."
After this is evermore, for which Swift is wearing a plaid jacket, similar to the one she wore in the inside cover of the album's physical copy.
Then, Swift wears a floaty, yellow dress with long hair out, making mention of her Fearless days when her aesthetic was flowery and country music-inspired.
The final image is of her with red lipstick and a black turtleneck, clearly evoking her upcoming rerecording, Red.
Red is to come out on November 19, 2021, and is littered with new tracks from the vault.
In a recent Twitter quiz, Swift tested her fans on whether they could work out who would be collaborating with her on the vault songs, as well as what they could be.
She then put them out of their misery by sharing: "Congrats pals, you guessed the titles and ft. artists on Red (my version). The vault tracks will ft. @ChrisStapleton @phoebe_bridgers @mistersmims & @edsheeran.
"can't wait to dust off our highest hopes & relive these memories together."
However, given the track she chose to lipsync to for her first TikTok video, hopes have flared that perhaps Swift will collaborate with Dave, if not on Red, on an upcoming remake.
So far, Swift has rerecorded her version of Fearless, with Red next up.
She said of the new version: "Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end.
"Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators.
"And I'm not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way."
The new version will have 30 tracks, including a 10-minute song, which is similar to the rerecording of Fearless, which had 26 tracks compared to the original.
