I'm guessing she'll announce a 4th version of the album with another bonus track for these Singapore dates, same way she did for Tokyo and Australia

Final variant has been announced, “The Black Dog” http://instagram.com/p/C4DfUrLO7X6 I think I like The Albatross version the best so that’s probably the one I’ll get if they still have it by album release day.

I like the dark, but the cover itself with that photo is my least favorite so far. Even the bonus track, The Black Dog, is my least favorite track name so far.
Really surprised there’s not a fifth variant for target. Maybe Target said it could only be red colored and Taylor said no lol

I think there will be a Target version, it just probably hasn’t been announced yet. It possibly won’t have any exclusive tracks but maybe a different cover or extras like a poster or something.

A Target exclusive variant has been announced. It’s identical to the Manuscript version with the cover and bonus track, but features clear vinyls instead of the white vinyls that the original variant has.

Everytime I listen to I Bet You Think About Me I'm in absolute disbelief how this was stuck in the vault and not made the original album... Everything about that song is so good!
I could see Avril doing a similar song with her signature pop-punk sound.

I could see Avril doing a similar song with her signature pop-punk sound. Same!! It’s by far the best vault track imo. It would be so interesting to know why some songs were left off, some I understand, others I really can’t get my head around But I guess it must be the same for every artist. Avril has some leaked songs I can’t believe she didn’t pick for the album and I’d LOVE to know why

I love IBYTAM too but maybe it was too country. Now Better Man - why was THAT left off? 🤯 I think I heard she was choosing between that and ATW since they’re kind of similar feelings. I feel like no matter what she left in the vault we’d be saying it should have been on the album (like Is It Over Now? But apparently she was choosing between that and OOTW since they sound similar). Imagine ATW or OOTW as vault tracks, we’d be wondering why they didn’t make the cut lol

There's something about Better Man that's so special to me. However, I don't think it fit her vibe at all, especially at the time it would have been released.
Oh no, between IION and OOTW? Clearly, the matter is the better song. The other one is too corny for me because of the Easter eggs, even though I really enjoy the chorus.

Slut was REALLY disappointing
I do like the 1989 vault but it is all a bit cringy knowing it was about a teenager lol

Slut seemed like a forced song to create attention with that title but I think it's a bit boring and doesnt really fit 1989 sonically.
God, thinking it was Slut or Bad Blood (which gets annoying after too many listens but is still a banger pop song!)... a song really can make a difference for the era (see: Lover-era) or maybe even a whole career.

I agree, I like the song more than most people seem to actually, but I think they thought based on the title it would grab people’s attention and be the big single off the TV but IION ended up out streaming it so much they changed the single.
