WASHINGTON — Taylor Swift fans have a lot to be happy about this St. Patrick’s Day. In honor of her upcoming “Eras” tour, the singer Four previously unreleased tracks have just been dropped. In a wonderful midnight post.
Well, like unreleased.
Four songs were labeled as “era” bonus songs, not tied to any particular album.

“Eyes Open” and “Safe and Sound” were both part of the Hunger Games soundtrack, while “If It Was a Movie” was originally released on her third album Speak Now.
But these new versions (each labeled as “Taylor’s Version”) feature updated vocals and backing music similar to Swift’s reissued songs.
The last song on the midnight release is “All Of The Girls You’ve Liked Before”, a brand new song. He must have been cut off from his lover Prior to the release of this album.
