Taylor Swift sparked an excerpt from her new version of “Wildest Dreams” in the trailer for the upcoming animated film, Indomitable Spirit.
Swift posted a handful of clips from the trailer in his Instagram story on Friday, March 12 (enterprising fans have since uploaded and joined the clips on YouTube). While the song admittedly competes with a fair amount of dialogue, there is enough to get a decent sense of what “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” sounds like. The epic essence of 1989 the track was not lost and it looks like Swift reinforced that sweeping feeling even more with some much heavier drums.
It is unclear when Swift plans to release “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” in its entirety. If you remain linked to Indomitable Spirit, you can get closer to the movie’s release date on June 4.
“Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” marks the second song that Swift released in his quest to re-record his first six albums in order to regain ownership of his music. Swift announced his decision to do so in 2019 after Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings acquired Swift’s former record label, Big Machine Label Group, in a $ 300 million deal. Last November, it was reported that Bruan had sold the Swift catalog to Shamrock Holdings, a private equity firm, as part of a $ 300 million business package.
In December, Swift sparked the new version of his 2008 hit, “Love Story”, in an ad for Match created by actor Ryan Reynolds’ new company, Maximum Effort Productions. The full song arrived in February.
