What is Taylor Swift’s 1989 Vault Puzzle? All answers
Republic Records/GoogleTaylor Swift challenged her fans this week to an internet scavenger hunt of sorts on Google — and it looks like the mission has been accomplished.
Hit singer Taylor Swift recently partnered with Google to create an Easter egg hunt that unveils the names of new tracks for her upcoming 1989 (Taylor’s Verison) album.
As Swifties across the world joined forces to solve the 33 million puzzles, many might have been left clueless about what the puzzle was.
Here’s everything you need to know about it, and also what all the answers to the puzzles were.
What is the Taylor Swift 1989 Vault puzzle?
Ahead of the new album drop, the 33-year-old singer joined forces with Google Vault to create 89 puzzles that will reveal the names of her new songs. Altogether 33 million puzzles had to be completed by fans worldwide for the new songs to be unveiled.
Since its launch, Swifties have been working hard to try and crack the puzzles. However, Swifites were up for the challenge and were able to solve all the puzzles in less than 24 hours.
To access the puzzle, you simply had to search for “Taylor Swift” on Google before clicking the vault that showed up in the bottom right corner to start.
A bunch of jumbled letters will then appear once you’ve clicked on the vault. Once fans have deciphered the word, they submit it into the Google search bar and move on to the next puzzle.
What happened when the vault opened?
As all the 33 million puzzles were solved, a little key was seen being dropped behind the vault, unlocking a voice note from Taylor. She congratulates you and reveals the “from the vault” track titles from the upcoming 1989 (Taylor’s Version). They are: Is It Over Now?, Now That We Don’t Talk, Say Don’t Go, and Suburban Legends.
But Swifties have noted that this is only four tracks when Taylor had promised five, so where’s the fifth track?
On September 20, Taylor Nation shared a clip teasing a track that it had teased the day before in a similar video. It shows a graphic of a vault with the letters “T-S-!-U-L” emerging from it.
“But what about the 5th #1989TaylorsVersionVault track?” Taylor Nation captioned the post.
Fans were quick to solve it, and the fifth track was soon revealed to be called “Slut!”.

Taylor has been re-recording and releasing her first six albums after Big Machine Records sold the masters in 2019 to Scooter Braun, who later sold them to a private equity firm.
The singer was vocal about her disapproval of the sale at the time, and announced that she would re-record all those albums she initially made with Big Machine.
