Taylor Swift's re-recorded version of her 2014 album, 1989, is out on October 27. This marks the singer-songwriter's fifth "(Taylor's Version)" of her previously released albums. Swift, 33, teased on Instagram Tuesday (September 19): "You can tell me when the *search* is over… if the high was worth the pain. [sunglasses emoji]." The "search" the award-winning musician spoke of was a Google campaign that consisted of searches of her name to make a puzzle for fans to solve. Swifties were to complete a whopping 33 million puzzles to unlock the track titles from the vault.

Google explained in a blog post that after a user searches "Taylor Swift" in the Google search bar, a blue vault will appear. Fans can click on it to solve one of the word puzzles. There are 89 puzzles to solve in total. "Dying to see how this one ends? We promise that the wait isn’t gonna be forever, but the prize will definitely be worth the pain," Google's blog post reads. “Cause darling, we’re a Swiftie dressed like a search engine.”
Vault tracks are songs that didn't make it to the final version of Swift's previously released albums and have appeared on every re-record that the artist has dropped so far. Four of the five track titles will be: "Is It Over Now?" "Now That We Don't Talk," "Say Don't Go," and "Suburban Legends." The title of the fifth vault track is still a mystery left for fans to decode. However, the Taylor Nation X account shared a clip of Swift's initial video teasing the puzzle, which showed a graphic of a vault with the letters “T-S-!-U-L” emerging from it. "But what about the 5th #1989TaylorsVersionVault track?" Taylor Nation captioned their post. Fans debated whether the jumbled word spells "slut!" or "lust!"
Meanwhile, Pop Base reported that one of the puzzles spelled out "Sagittarius," which could be a collaboration with Nicki Minaj. Swifties noticed during the recent MTV Video Music Awards that the "Anti-Hero" singer told host Minaj, "That's my favorite Sagittarius right there." Minaj's birthday is on December 8, while Taylor, who is also a Sag, celebrates her birthday a few days later on December 13.
As we previously reported, Swift called 1989 her "most FAVORITE re-record I’ve ever done because the 5 From The Vault tracks are so insane."
All The Celebrity Cameos In Taylor Swift’s Music Videos
Taylor Swift puts a lot of thought into her songs. From the lyrics to how she conceptualizes her music videos, the award-winning musician gives her fans the ultimate experience. Swift likes to drop Easter eggs in her music videos and she occasionally recruits her celebrity friends to take them to the next level. The artist has directed a ton of her music videos, as well, earning awards for “The Man” (2020) and “All Too Well (The Short Film)” (2022). Since 2019, Taylor has pretty much taken the reigns on the direction for her music videos.
Per Billboard, her directorial journey started years before that. In 2010, Swift teamed up with Roman White (director of “You Belong With Me” and “Fifteen” music videos) for the making of “Mine.” Swift has 13 music videos that she self-directed; she's released five documentaries, three video albums, and a short film.

As we previously reported, Swift said last September, “I’d like to keep taking baby steps forward and I’m at a place now where the next baby step is not a baby step. It would be committing to making a film and I feel like I would absolutely love for the right opportunity to arise, because I absolutely adore telling stories this way.” While at the Toronto Film Festival for her "All Too Well (The Short Film)," she added that she "always want to tell human stories about human emotion."
Take a look below at all the celebrities that have made cameos in Taylor Swift's music videos:

Taylor Swift had a lot of fun in this one, having two versions of herself. The video features Mary Elizabeth Ellis (It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia), and comedians John Early (Search Party) and Mike Birbiglia (A Man Called Otto) as mourners at Swift's funeral. Also, in the beginning, there are a bunch of "ghosts" dressed in patterned cloths and sunglasses. Funnily enough, a fan attended her Eras Tour show in a recreation of the outfit!
I Bet You Think About Me
In this re-recording of her 2012 Red track, Swift enlisted Miles Teller to star as the groom, and his real-life wife, Keleigh Sperry Teller, played the bride. Blake Lively co-wrote and directed the song's music video, which sees Swift crashing an ex's big wedding day.
