1989 (Taylor's Version) Fan Scholarship
We are in the last couple of months of 2023, and one can easily say this was the year of Taylor Swift. Near the end of 2022 came her tenth studio album, "Midnights." And this year came her iconic Era's Tour and her movie, which have both shattered records. She won multiple awards at the Grammys, MTV, iHeartRadio, and more, all while taking the internet by storm.
Our previous Taylor Swift scholarship was a fan-favorite after many of you voted for 1989 as your favorite album during our March Madness competition. And guess what? It's back! We are so excited for the release of 1989 (Taylor's Version), and we wanted to open another scholarship worth $1989. We are stoked to commemorate this moment with one of Taylor Swift's best albums to date—and we hope you are too!
