What are the fan theories about the vault tracks?
On the Taylor Swift Reddit, fans have been debating potential hints and clues about the vault tracks due to be released on 1989. It has been speculated that the special edition deluxe CDs could be Easter Eggs for the names of unreleased tracks.
One fan explained: "I also noticed the yellow CD variant is called Sunrise Blvd which is a choice that may become more obvious to us later. Definitely a lyric or song title."
The capitalising of FAVORITE in her announcement of the re-release could be another clue. A fan wrote: "I think Favorite is going to be one, also because of the post!"
Fans have also speculated about potential collabs on the vault tracks. One fan laid out the following theory: "Sabrina Carpenter. She's a warm up act for Latin America so they could perform the song live (the November dates). I think that's quite plausible and I think it should be a fun pop upbeat song. :) honestly surprised no one else said this yet!"Other fans simply suggested previously unreleased performances such as the Grammy's version of Wildest Dreams - in which Taylor performed with just an electric guitar.
