Background and release edit

After signing a new contract with Republic Records, singer-songwriter Taylor Swift began re-recording her first six studio albums in November 2020.[2] The decision followed a public 2019 dispute between Swift and talent manager Scooter Braun, who acquired Big Machine Records, including the masters of Swift's albums which the label had released.[3][4] By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine–owned masters.[5] From July 2021 to July 2023, Swift released three re-recorded albums of her earlier releases: Fearless (Taylor's Version), Red (Taylor's Version), and Speak Now (Taylor's Version); each album also featured several unreleased "From the Vault" tracks that she had written but left out of the original albums' track listings.[6]

Republic Records released Swift's fourth re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor's Version), on October 27, 2023, on the ninth anniversary of her fifth original studio album, 1989 (2014).[7][8] The original album was Swift's first "official pop" album after she had marketed her first four albums to country radio, and it transformed her artistry and image from country to pop.[9][10] As with her other re-recorded projects, 1989 (Taylor's Version) features five newly-recorded "From the Vault" tracks that Swift had written but left out of the original track listing.[11] Jack Antonoff co-wrote and co-produced four vault tracks with Swift.[1][12] According to Swift, "Now That We Don't Talk" was late into the production of 1989 and was left out because the personnel "couldn't get [it] right at the time".[13] Officially titled "Now That We Don't Talk (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)", it is track 19 out of 21 on the track-list of 1989 (Taylor's Version).[1] On November 24, 2023, Swift performed the song on acoustic guitar as part of the Sao Paulo stop of her sixth headlining concert tour, the Eras Tour.[14]

Music and lyrics edit

Swift and Antonoff wrote and produced "Now That We Don't Talk". Antonoff and engineers Laura Sisk and David Hart, assisted by Jack Manning, Megan Searl, and Jon Sher, recorded the track at four studios: Conway Recording Studios, Sharp Sonics (Los Angeles), Electric Lady Studios, and Rough Customer (New York). Antonoff also programmed the song, played synthesizers and guitar, and provided background vocals. Zem Audu played additional synthesizers and recorded his part at Audu Studio (Brooklyn). Sean Hutchinson and Micchael Riddleberger played and recorded drums at Hutchinson Sound Studio (Brooklyn). Mikey Freedom Hart played bass, synthesizer, electric guitar, and Rhodes piano, which he recorded at Big Mercy Studio (Brooklyn). Evan Smith also played additional synthesizer and saxophone and recorded the instruments at Pleasure Hill (Portland). The track was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios (Virginia Beach, Virginia) and mastered by Randy Merrill at Sterling Sound (Edgewater, New Jersey).[1]

"Now That We Don't Talk" is a synth-pop[15] and disco song.[16] At 2 minutes and 26 seconds long, it is the shortest song in Swift's discography.[17] The production features disco grooves,[18] falsetto vocals in the chorus, and thrumming synths that drive the beats.[19][20] Music critics compared the song's production to the sound of Swift's previous releases. Time critic Rachel Sonis deemed it the "most 1989-sounding" among the vault tracks.[20] Variety critic Chris Willman said the track has a "light pop-suspense feel" that resembled the song "Mastermind" from Swift's 2022 album Midnights.[21] In a review for NJ.com, Bobby Olivier said the vocals resembled Bleachers' 2014 song "Shadow" and the production's "high-gloss shimmer" evoked Swift's "Bejeweled" from Midnights.[15]

"Now That We Don't Talk" has lyrics that ostracize an ex-lover.[22] In the song, Swift sings, "from the outside, it looks like you're trying lives on."[23] As Swift moves on from the ex-lover, she accepts that she and the ex-lover cannot remain friends ("I cannot be your friend so I pay the price of what I lost, and what it cost")[15][24] and seeks advice from her mother.[25] She further mocks the ex-lover's lifestyle and taste, "I don't have to pretend I like acid rock / Or that I like to be on a mega-yacht / With important men who think important thoughts."[26] In the Los Angeles Times, Mikael Wood wrote that the lyrics criticizing the ex-boyfriend were reminiscent of Swift's 2010 song "Dear John".[26]

Reception edit

Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone said the song showcased Swift's "acerbic wit".[27] Paste critic Elizabeth Braaten described the song as "an inevitable instant classic in Swiftian lore",[18] and The Line of Best Fit critic Kelsey Barnes praised Swift's falsetto on the track as being "deliciously infectious".[28] NME's Hollie Geraghty deemed "Now That We Don't Talk" the best "Vault" track from 1989 (Taylor's Version), praising Swift's vocals and the lyrics for showcasing a dry and youthful humor.[29] Uproxx writer Josh Kurp complimented the track's 1980s musical sensation and said it has a radio hit potential.[30] Olivier ranked it fourth among the five vault tracks from 1989 (Taylor's Version), deeming it a "windows-down ... banger".[15] Wood ranked it second and complimented it as a "hilarious take-down of a dude [Swift's] elated to have kicked to the curb".[26] On a less positive side, BBC Entertainment reporters deemed it and the other vault tracks inferior to the original 1989 album.[31] Alex Berry of Clash regarded "Now That We Don't Talk" as the weakest track on the re-recorded album because it is not as outstanding as the other tracks.[32]

After 1989 (Taylor's Version) was released, "Now That We Don't Talk" debuted at number two on the singles charts of Australia,[33] Canada,[34] New Zealand,[35] and the United Kingdom.[36] It debuted at number four in Ireland and number nine in the Philippines.[37][38] The track also charted in the top 100 of singles charts in several European territories including Norway (number 33),[39] the Netherlands (number 35),[40] Lithuania (number 44),[41] and Sweden (number 51).[42] In the United States, "Now That We Don't Talk" debuted at number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart dated November 11, 2023, trailing behind the week's chart topper "Is It Over Now?", another track from 1989 (Taylor's Version).[43] This chart achievement extended Swift's record for the most top-10 songs (49) and most top-five songs (31) on the Billboard Hot 100 among women.[44] On the Billboard Global 200, it also debuted at number two behind "Is It Over Now?".[45]
