IS IT OVER NOW?

(TAYLOR’S VERSION)

(FROM THE VAULT)

In July 2023, Taylor Swift released the ‘Taylor’s Version’ edition of her ‘Speak Now’ album. Barely 4 months later, another re-recording emerged. This was a new Taylor’s Version of her ‘1989’ album, the fourth in the series (and most recent).

One of the previously unreleased tracks on this new version of ‘1989’ was “Is It Over Now?”. The song was co-written and co-produced by Swift with Jack Antonoff. When the song topped the Billboard Hot 100, it replaced the singer’s “Cruel Summer”. Is It Over Now?”  only enjoyed a week at #1, when the resurgent  “Cruel Summer” reclaimed pole position.

Her eleventh US #1 song also fared well in other countries. “Is It Over Now?” debuted at the top in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The song became Swift’s fourth #1 on Billboard Magazine’s Global 200 chart.
