Taylor Swift - Fearless (Taylor's Version) Cover, shot by Beth Garrabrant
Taylor Swift’s re-recording of “Love Story,” branded as “Taylor’s Version,” is making an early splash on the US iTunes store.
The song, which was released at midnight late Thursday/early Friday, had reached #5 on the store’s all-genre sales chart by 1:30AM ET. It seems destined to move higher in the coming hours.
As it stands, only Cooper Alan’s “Tough Ones” (#1), Cardi B’s “Up” (#2), The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” (#3), and Olivia Rodrigo’s “drivers license” (#4) are currently selling at a faster pace.
“Love Story,” the lead single from Swift’s blockbuster 2008 release “Fearless,” peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100. The new version serves as the first taste of Swift’s re-recorded “Fearless,” due later this year (almost certainly April 9, based on a hidden message in Swift’s announcement).
