It’s time to fall back in love with “Love Story,” the smash hit single that took Taylor Swift from country up-and-comer to worldwide superstar and inspired a thousand Tumblr posts about how “that’s not how Romeo and Juliet ends.” (She knows, okay? It’s a song.) “Love Story (Taylor's Version),” recorded during quarantine, dropped at midnight on Thursday, February 11, and is already making fans emotional and climbing the music charts.

It’s the first song to come out from Swift’s re-record of her album Fearless, which will drop in full on April 9 and include six previously unreleased songs “from the vault” for a total of 26 tracks. As Swifties well know, this follows a long battle with music manager Scooter Braun, who for years has owned, in full or in part, the master recordings of Swift’s first five albums. After releasing multiple statements about her issues with Braun and attempts to buy back her masters without his involvement, Swift decided that the best path forward would be to re-record and re-release her old music so that fans can listen to it without supporting Braun.
