These Tweets About Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” Re-Release Are Asking The Same Question

Swifties got another re-release of a classic Taylor Swift song, but the drop was a total surprise that’s left everyone really confused. After the singer announced “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” in a TikTok video on Friday, Sept. 17, fans began heading to Twitter to tweet out their questions. The fact that Swift hasn’t even dropped her re-recorded version of her album Red is the driving confusion behind the latest song release because, so far, the singer hasn’t gone out of order. Unable to contain their excitement and bewilderment with the newest development, these 24 tweets about Taylor Swift’s “Wildest Dreams” re-release meaning are all analyzing the unexpected move.

It was a regular Friday when Swift decided to throw fans off by dropping her re-recorded version of the track “Wildest Dreams” from her 2014 album 1989. “Someone said slow zoom makes you look like the main character I said make it Taylor’s Version pls,” Swift wrote in the caption of a TikTok video that unveiled the re-recording. On the video, she also wrote the text, “If you guys want to use my version of wildest dreams for the slow zoom trend, here she is!” The singer also added the cheeky comment, “felt cute might drop the whole song later” with a GIF of herself wearing a sly look.

Swift, who joined TikTok in late August, is supposed to release the third of her album re-recordings, Red (Taylor’s Version), on Nov. 19, but now that she’s randomly dropped a track from the 1989 era, fans are wondering what it means. Red, her fourth studio album, was first released in October 2012. Now fans are rationalizing the sudden jump to a 1989 track could have a hidden meaning.

Swift also posted a TikTok about her pivot to “Wildest Dreams” in a tongue-in-cheek post that nearly replicates a wink she did in a previous pic:
