After Taylor Swift revealed to the world that the next re-recording of her album would be "1989", fans immediately shared their theories about the meaning behind the album cover.

Pop Buzz reported that the singer's expression in the first cover bears a very significant meaning to what she feels in the inside, and everything points to a diary entry from 2014.
