Taylor Swift's Fans Already Figured Out the "From the Vault" Track Titles off "Red (Taylor's Version)"
[UPDATED 8/5/21 at 1:02 PM]: Taylor Swift posted her cryptic Red (Taylor's Version) video just a few hours ago and, unsurprisingly, fans have already decoded the ten From the Vault Track titles.
On Taylor's site, there is a fill-in-the-blank section for tracks 21-30 on the upcoming album. There, you can write in your guess after trying to solve Taylor's word jumble/search. If you want some help, though, the tracks are as follows:
21. Ronan
22. Better Man
23. Nothing New feat. Phoebe Bridgers
24. Babe
25. Message in a Bottle
26. I Bet You Think About Me feat. Chris Stapleton
27. Forever Winter
28. Run feat. Ed Sheeran
29. The Very First Night
30. All Too Well Ten Minute Version
When you add those in, you will get a photo to share on your social media with a banner that reads, "I unlocked the vault." Happy decoding!
Original story: The Red (Taylor's Version) vault has officially been opened, but the puzzle is far from solved. On Thursday morning, Taylor Swift shared a cryptic video promoting the upcoming album and Swifties are working hard as we speak to gain whatever information they can from the clues.
The video features a red vault with jumbled letters pouring out of it "*Presses post* *cackles maniacally* Level: casually cruel in the name of being honest," she wrote alongside the post. Meanwhile, a song seemingly in reverse plays in the background.
It seems like Taylor is providing information, and possibly track names, for the "From the Vault" songs off the upcoming album. Though Taylor posted a very similar video ahead of the Fearless (Taylor's Version) release, this one seems to be a little more complicated. "HOW ARE THERE SO MANY LETTERS ON EVERY SINGLE ONE?!" one fan tweeted. "I figured it out the last time but idk if I will this time god I love you and your genius @taylorswift13."

Some quickly noticed that all the "words" are the same amount of letters, and when lined up, they seem to form a sort of word search. From there, fans were able to start pulling out words like "nothing," "bottle," "message," and "winter."

One of the most noticeable finds, however, was "Phoebe" and "Bridgers" leading many to think the artist will be featured on one of the bonus tracks.

As for the background music, when put in reverse, there are some lyrics that can be made out. At one point, it sounds like Taylor is singing, "breath," though it's still pretty hard to understand.

We know there are many "From the Vault" songs coming our way in Red (Taylor's Version) since the album will feature 30 songs in total (including a ten-minute version of "All Too Well." So, there is much more to decode here, but if I know Swifties, they'll figure it out if it's the last thing they do.
