Taylor Swift announces “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is “on its way”: “My most personal favorite song that  I’ve ever re-record”

Another “Taylor’s Version” recording has been eagerly anticipated by fans, and now it is not just a pipe dream. The release of Taylor Swift’s rendition of the album “1989” is just months away, the singer-songwriter revealed on Wednesday at her final Eras Tour performance in Los Angeles.

She told her audience at SoFi Stadium, “Since I was a teenager, I wanted to own my music,” according to People. “The solution was to re-record my records, and the manner that you have welcomed… that you have celebrated, that you genuinely determined that it was your fight too, and that you were 100 percent behind me… I’ll always be grateful to you for it.

The big news then surfaced.

I’ve been working on something for a terribly, embarrassingly, insanely long period. And I believe I’ll just sort of show you about it instead of talking you about it,” she continued, unveiling a huge album banner on the screen in the background. Those who had been anticipating her re-recordings’ next edition greeted the news with audible cries and cheers.

Swift shared the information on her social media sites shortly after the announcement was made at the show.

“Surprise!! Soon, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) will be delivered to you, she said, adding that the album “changed my life in countless ways.”

Because the five songs from the Vault are so incredible, she declared that it was her favourite re-record she had ever made. “I find it hard to believe they were ever abandoned. However, not for long.

So when will Taylor Swift’s newest album be released? She claims that it will be available for pre-order on October 27.

Since 2019, Swift has been working to re-record her first six albums so that she may own the rights. Scooter Braun, a talent agent, obtained the rights to her previously recorded recordings after his business purchased the Big Machine Label Group, the company that owned those albums, and that is when her adventure began. Swift previously claimed that she was unaware of the agreement until “it was announced to the world,” and as a result, she was never given the opportunity to purchase her songs back.

Scott Borchetta, CEO of Big Machine Records, disputed Swift’s account about how she found out about the deal. But that didn’t stop her telling “CBS Sunday Morning” that same year that she would “absolutely” be redoing her past music. 

Swift has already made available three of those six albums, all of which bear the “Taylor’s Version” moniker: “Fearless,” “Red,” and “Speak Now.” Her debut album “Taylor Swift” from 2006 and 2017’s “Reputation” will be the last two albums to be released after “1989,” which was first released in 2014, is released in October.

The albums include newly recorded versions of the original songs as well as previously unreleased “from the vault” material and new album artwork.

A winning ticket cost $1.08 billion to sell. Los Angeles Powerball jackpot.

Powerball jackpot

According to lottery officials, only one winning ticket for Wednesday night’s estimated $1.08 billion Powerball jackpot prize was sold in Los Angeles. Officials announced Thursday morning that the unidentified winner had not come forward to pay in the ticket and had one year to claim the enormous windfall.

Carolyn Becker, a representative for the California Lottery, said during a news conference that winners “have to claim their prize, and then we have to spend time validating the winner to make sure it is the proper individual. We value honesty and openness above everything else, therefore it will probably be months before we find out.

7, 10, 11, 13, and 24 were the winning numbers, while the Powerball number was 24.

According to CBS News Los Angele

The ticket was bought at the Las Palmitas Mini Market in downtown LA. According to Becker, the winner’s name will be made public once they come forward. No one has to reside in California or be a citizen of the United States to be eligible to win, she said.

“We don’t know if that person lives here locally, if it’s a group, or if they were passing by,” added Becker. This individual could practically be anywhere.

A bonus cheque for $1,000,000 was given to the family that owns the business where the winning ticket was sold on Thursday.

What do you do if you win Powerball jackpot?

The winner can choose between receiving a $558.1 million lump sum or a $1.08 billion annuity. Both sums are unadjusted for taxes. The jackpot exceeded the $1 billion prediction thanks to late ticket sales.

Becker encouraged the winner to sign the back of the ticket and store it safely, regardless of who it is.

She said, “You’re going to want to keep it in the most secure place possible if you discover you’re hanging onto a piece of paper like that, a winning ticket, particularly worth this kind of money.” “The key to claiming that prize is the winning Powerball ticket.”

According to experts interviewed by CBS MoneyWatch, those who find themselves suddenly wealthy should take a “cooling-off period” and delay making significant financial decisions.

More than 4.8 million winning tickets were purchased in the Powerball drawing on Wednesday, and lower-level cash prizes totaling $85.1 million were awarded.

According to CBS News Los Angeles, it was the second $1 billion Powerball ticket sold in Los Angeles County in the past eight months. In November, a fortunate guy at Joe’s Service Centre in Altadena correctly predicted the numbers that went along with the record-breaking $2.04 billion Powerball jackpot.

Since April 19, when a ticket purchased in Ohio won a $252.6 million jackpot, the jackpot has been growing. In the previous 38 opportunities to win, nobody had matched the five white balls and the red Powerball, as of Wednesday night’s drawing.

The big prize of $1.08 billion ranks third among all prizes awarded in the game’s history since it began in 1992. The second-largest grand prize for the game in 2016—$1.586 billion—was divided among three winners in California, Florida, and Tennessee.

The game’s sixth greatest jackpot, worth $754.6 million, was won earlier this year on a ticket purchased in Washington State.

The jackpot on Wednesday night was the sixth-largest in American lottery history.

A Powerball jackpot winner has a 1 in 292.2 million chance of doing so.

Due to the fact that no one correctly matched all six numbers in the drawing on Tuesday night, the estimated $720 million Mega Millions jackpot is up for grabs this Friday night. With a Mega Ball of 18, the winning numbers were 19, 22, 31, 37, and 54.

The cash prize, if somebody wins on Friday night, would be almost $369.6 million. One in 302,575,350 have a chance of winning the Mega Millions jackpot.

Some others pooled their funds and purchased tickets in bulk in the expectation of winning the two mega jackpots.

According to CBS News Los Angeles, a woman in Southern California purchased 50 lottery tickets on Tuesday for herself and her coworkers at a 7-Eleven.

The woman told the broadcaster, “I already told them today: If I win tonight, I’m not even coming in, for sure, they know.” “My boss is on board with me on this.”

In 45 states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, $2 Powerball tickets are available for purchase. Every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday at 10:59 p.m. ET, Powerball drawings take place.

Russell: “No, no cars anywhere.”

(Pause)

911: “Okay, what’s your name?”

Russell: “My name is Carlee Russell.”

911: “And you don’t see anyone with the child from where you are at, correct?”

Russell: “No, no, no, but I can’t see them that good.”

911: “Okay, try to keep an eye on him as best as you can because I don’t want you to lose track of him. And does he have shoes on?”

Russell: “No, not that I can see. I really can’t see that…”

911: “Okay, alright. I got them on the way. If you can, just keep an eye on them. An officer’s on the way. Okay?”

Russell: “Okay, thanks.”

911: “Thank you.”

Russell: “Okay, bye.”
