This prologue is found within the inner leaflet of physical copies of 1989 (Taylor’s Version), alongside a shorter prologue which appears to be handwritten. It spans 2 pages, in an all-caps Courier font, with the word “Prologue” in the top left corner. It details Swift’s thought process in re-inventing herself before the release of the original 1989 album, and the reasons why she did so, exploring new musical styles in the process. It also touches on how she could reclaim this part of her personality when she re-rerecorded the album, drawing a parallel with reclaiming her music.
