Swift’s passion for reclaiming her musical legacy was palpable as she expressed her gratitude to her fans for supporting her journey of re-recording her discography.
With a heartfelt acknowledgment, she shared, “Since I was a teenager, I wanted to own my music and the way to do it was to re-record my albums and call them ‘Taylor’s Version.’
And the way that you have embraced that, the way that you have celebrated that, you really decided that it was your fight, too, and that you were 100 percent behind me and that if I cared about it, you cared about it.”
The singer-songwriter’s speech radiated emotion as she acknowledged the deep connection she shares with her fans. She enthused, “I will never stop thanking you for that.
It was so generous. And so now here we are at the last night of the U.S. leg of the Eras Tour in the eighth month of the year, on the ninth day of the month.”
