Taylor Swift's '1989' (Taylor's Version) is finally out, and with the re-recorded 1989 hit that fans know and love, Swift has been busy playing the album's new "From The Vault" ” Tracks: “Now That We Don’t Talk,” “Suburban Legend,” “Is It Over Now,” and “Slut!” 》
However, within hours of its 1989 (TV) release, one Vault song, "Say Don't Go," became an apparent fan favorite.
Swift co-wrote the song with noted songwriter Diane Warren during its original writing process in 1989 . After hearing the lyrics, fans speculated that the song might be about Swift's ex-boyfriend Harry Styles, whom she dated from 2012 to 2013.
