However, 1989’s vault tracks are exclusively Taylor Swift’s and feature no other artist. For the uninitiated, the singer has been re-recording her first six albums to oppose the sale of her master recordings to Scooter Braun in 2019.
Vault tracks are songs that were originally recorded during the making of the original album but did not make the final cut. These tracks are often hidden gems that would otherwise remain undiscovered.

As news of the vault track titles and Google campaign spread, Swifties took to social media to celebrate. Fans began discussing the meaning of the revealed titles and went on to decode more clues.

Confession: I've always felt like Taylor's music was better without features and I'm relieved 1989 is solo

The title ‘Slut!’ initially convinced some people that it was ‘Lust!’ based on the word’s arrangement in the puzzle. Swifties have also been excited about all vault tracks being Taylor Swift solos and featuring no collaborators.
