This is not the first time that Swift has released a limited version of one of her tracks from TTPD.

Fans left emotional over Taylor Swift’s latest voice memo
Shortly after the release of the bonus track, an ardent Swiftie shared a snippet of the memo on X, formerly Twitter. In the clip, which has garnered over 133K views, the Anti-Hero singer can be heard saying, “OK, so this is kind of an abnormal structure, but I think it could be really cool this way.” “It sounds sad because it’s on piano, and I’m sad in general, but it’s got to have like a driving synth beat or whatever,” she added.
