Taylor Swift unexpectedly dropped her re-recorded version of "Wildest Dreams" on Friday, Sept. 17, after her original version of the song blew up on TikTok—thanks to the popular slow zoom trend using the ballad.
"Hi! Saw you guys got 'Wildest Dreams' trending on TikTok," the singer, 31, captioned her Instagram Story announcing the news, adding, "Thought you should have my version." Alongside a photo of the musician included a link to stream the re-recorded version of the hit through Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, among other platforms.
Taylor also shared the news to TikTok that same day of course, captioning her video of the re-released 1989 single, "Someone said slow zoom makes you look like the main character, I said, ‘make it Taylor's version pls.'" Within an hour, the video was shared almost 12,000 times and accumulated almost 350,000 likes from fellow Swifties.
"Taylor taking ownership of her TikTok trend is everything I never knew I needed," one fan wrote. While another commented, "It's Taylor's world, we're just living in it."
In June, Taylor revealed in a personal letter that the re-recording process of Red, which is slated for a November release, stirred up past emotions.

Taylor Swift spent her 2020 dropping two surprise albums and then in 2021 she’s already released one of her re-recorded albums. With Red (Taylor’s Version) set to come out this November, fans might have expected a single from that album. However, they got the single for “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” from 1989 instead, and they can thank TikTok of all places for that. And she might have broken the app for a hot second in all of this.
If you’ve spent any time on TikTok in the past couple of weeks, you might have noticed that Swift’s popular song “Wildest Dreams” became a part of a trend on the viral video app.
In the trend, users use her song and the new effect called “Slow Zoom.” The trend is the “main character trend” where the use of the effect and the song on the user makes them feel and look like the “main character.” The first part of the video is a bit out of focus or closer up. And then the second half of the video, when the lyrics go, “You see me in hindsight, tangled up with you all night, burnin’ it down…” the user puts on that effect and struts their stuff.
The original sound used on this trend, which used the old version of the song from 1989 and was from a user other than Taylor Swift, had over 675k videos. That’s a mega-viral trend.
Well, it caught Swift’s attention. So much so that she released the rerecording of “Wildest Dreams” before she even announced the date of 1989 (Taylor’s Version).
“Hi! Saw you guys got Wildest Dreams trending on tiktok, thought you should have my version,” she tweeted on Sept. 17 with the link to the song.
Again, this song is off her 2014 album 1989, and Swift has yet to release a date for when that album is going to come out.
The next rerecorded album from Swift is Red (Taylor’s Version), set to be released on Nov. 19. It was her fourth studio album at the time of its first release and is known as a breakup album because of its raw emotion and multiple songs about heartbreak including “All Too Well,” “I Knew You Were Trouble,” and “We Are Never Getting Back Together.”
“Us: what era are we in? Taylor: yes,” one commenter wrote.
And it’s true. Just like Swift’s TikTok poked fun at, she completely skipped over Red for a hot minute to capitalize on the virality of this trend. And there are no complaints from fans.

Taylor Swift surprised fans on Friday with a re-recorded version of ‘Wildest Dreams’ after the original version blew up on TikTok.
Swifties were in for quite the surprise when Taylor Swift dropped the rerecorded version of "Wildest Dreams" on Friday. Instead of releasing a track from Red (Taylor's Version), which is coming this November, Swift decided to switch things up and give us a remake from her 1989 album. "Hi! Saw you guys got Wildest Dreams trending on tiktok, thought you should have my version 😘😘😘😘," she wrote on Twitter.
"Wildest Dreams" has been all over TikTok lately thanks to the app's "Slow Zoom" filter trend, which shows users lip-syncing the track's bridge: "You'll see me in hindsight / Tangled up with you all night / Burnin' it down." Even Swift herself got in on the fun, posting a video of her doing the TikTok trend with the caption, "You set a date in November with Red but then someone mentions 1989." As we await the release of Red (Taylor's Version) on Nov. 19, listen to the rerecorded version of "Wildest Dreams" above.

Taylor Swift’s surprise release of “Wildest Dream” could stage a dream run on the U.K. chart, where it’s on track for a Top 40 debut.
Without warning, TayTay dropped the "Taylor's Version" of the 1989 single "Wildest Dreams" last Friday (Sept. 17).
In the U.K., at least, Swifties tuned in. “Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)” blasts to No. 22 on the latest Official Singles Chart Update. That’s well up on the No. 40 peak for the original version, which got its official release as a single in late August 2015.
If it keeps its momentum, the track will become Swift's 37th U.K. Top 40 single.

For the past half-century, country music fans have always called into question when their favorite stars — especially female performers — err in the direction of less twang and more pop-aimed sounds and styles in their music. Now, thanks to a new Tik Tok meme inspired by Lukas Graham’s single “Mama Said,” Dolly Parton, Shania Twain, and Taylor Swift have all claimed their right to make pop, country, or basically whatever music they wish.  Swift initially took to TikTok using the “Mama Said” meme to pay tribute to Shania Twain as a country-to-pop groundbreaker and icon. Twain paid the honor forward by shares photos of herself and country legend Dolly Parton. Captioning her video with “Thank you @taylorswift I appreciate you! Paying this one forward to another trailblazer,” and hashtagging Dolly Parton, the video continues the moment shared between three musical legends. As well, Twain’s video features old pictures of Parton — including them holding hands while performing on stage — with the caption “country girls can’t go pop,” similar to Swift’s before the lyrics hit for Lukas Nelson’s “Mama Said.” Parton, notably, has been busy of late. Foremost, in June, she invited Carly Pearce to join the Grand Ole Opry. She was also part of the recently aired CBS “All In For The Gambler” tribute — filmed in 2017 — to Kenny Rogers alongside Chris Stapleton, Idina Menzel, Lady A, Lionel Richie, Little Big Town, and Reba McEntire. The special celebrated Rogers’ life and impact on country music and brought together performers influenced by his career. |
