My only thinking on that, was that she had taken her music off of streaming in the past, which she wouldn’t have owned them then either, but was still able to make that move. Plus I know she has control over licensing the music to movies and tv shows, etc correct? So she can actively keep the original songs from those types of media.
So I thought she may have the ability to keep the originals off of streaming. If she does have the ability, I doubt she would do it before the re-recording were released.
And because music videos give users a different experience…most not using them just for the song but actually wanting to watch the video, I would think that if she were to remove the original albums from streaming, she would keep the music videos on YouTube.

Does anyone think she will take the originals off of streaming once their re-recording counterparts are released?

The way she sings "time" in the phrase "Mr. always at the right place at the right time, baby" reminds me of the way sings the final chorus of You Belong With Me in most of her performances. My listen of the song, I kept thinking it sounded familiar.
The start of the last chorus about 3:10...

I’ve heard of We Were Happy. I believe it was a full studio demo that floated around. And I’ve heard of That’s When as well; I believe it was just an acoustic demo that floated around of it. The remaining three vault songs I have never heard those titles before.
I’m not so sure she took into much consideration which songs could’ve been heard from leaked demos. I don’t think this would’ve been reason enough for her to leave it off the re-recording anyway. Because she said this version of the album was her chance to give us the full picture of what Fearless was meant to be. To me, that sounds like all 6 vault songs were just barely cut; whereas other songs that aren’t included weren’t highly considered for the album.
When it comes to unreleased songs we’ve known about that I wish will be included on the other albums’ re-recordings, I hope she releases Let’s Go (Battle).

I’m realizing I’m having the same feeling when Sparks Fly was released. Based on the version of the song I had already heard (for Sparks Fly, it was the live version she played at live shows in 2007), I had an expectation of what the final studio version would sound like…expecting it to sound the same but more polished and crisp.
But, just like Sparks Fly differed a lot from the live version, You All Over Me has many differences to the demo; which on its own, I would probably really enjoy it. But I can’t help but compare it to the version I had previously heard, so the song falls short in my opinion. It doesn’t live up to demo version.

Listening to the preview, it is in fact the same song as the demo. It will be interesting to listen to the changes she made to lyrics and instrumentation. So far, it’s clear that it’s in a lower key. And with her more mature voice, I can see why she would make this change.

One interesting thing concerning the unreleased demo, is that it doesn’t feature any background vocals at all. So if this is the same song, it kind of cool that she brought on Maren Morris to sing backup for a song that she possibly originally thought didn’t need background vocals.
I don’t know of any other studio demos of Taylor’s that also don’t feature background vocals.
I think the only officially released song Taylor has without background vocals is Change.

So exciting! Assuming this will be the final song released before the album gets released, I’m surprised it’s a vault song and not You Belong With Me.
I have heard the unreleased song, “You All Over Me”. It’s a mid-tempo song and I really like it. Won’t know for sure if it’s the same song until tomorrow.

I’m assuming due to COVID, that’s why Joe wasn’t there. Taylor said in her announcement video for the performance, that she, Aaron, and Jack had to quarantine together prior to the event. They probably couldn’t bring guests or plus-1s.

Her performance was a medley of Cardigan, August, and Willow in that order.

Taylor’s Grammy performance will be with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff.

Definitely not surprised by this. But I had tickets, so I am a teensy bit disappointed that I know officially that I’ll never get the experience I would have gotten from it.
If she did a streamed concert based on LoverFest, or at least based on the set list (not including the special guests), that would be really awesome. With the event being fully cancelled worldwide now, it sort of leaves that album and those songs up in the air - will we ever get to hear most of those album tracks performed live? Will she incorporate any of her unused LoverFest concepts or ideas for future tours for future albums?
A streamed concert based on LoverFest or the set list would sort of give closure to the era. I feel like the fans could better move on from it and focus more on future music when it comes to future concerts and tours.

Anyone else notice that the choir background vocals (ah’s) are missing from the choruses? I’ve always thought they were a signature part of the song. A little disappointed they’re missing.

^ In addition to giving fans a more so "fuller" picture at what the original album could have been,
Adding the vault songs to the re-recorded album also gives an incentive for fans to purchase the new version after already having paid for the original album; this way you aren't solely paying for songs you have already bought, but you're getting additional music included in the price.
Sure, the new artwork and everything is added value, but the new music really adds value.
