TL;DR

Taylor Swift's re-recorded version of her album "1989" features vault tracks written with Diane Warren and Jack Antonoff, with Max Martin and Shellback absent. The new songs, while not matching the original 1989 in style, provide added context and make the record's cloying moments more palatable. The recreations of the original tracks are the closest to their source material yet. Despite being considered artistically lesser, the album's highs, such as "I Wish You Would" and "Style," remain durable and retain their luster.
