‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ will be the title of Taylor Swift’s upcoming album of re-recorded songs, she has revealed1. At her Nashville performance and on Instagram2, she announced the news. On July 7th3, the re-recorded 2010 studio album will be made available.
Taylor stated in a tweet that she first penned Speak Now between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that emerged from this period of my life were distinguished by their frank honesty, unvarnished diary-like admissions, and extreme melancholy. This album is one of my favourites since it depicts growing up, struggling, taking off, falling, and surviving to tell the tale. I can’t wait to celebrate Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with you on July 7th with the six extra songs I’ve released loose from the vault.
Following the releases of “Red (Taylor’s Version)” and “Fearless (Taylor’s Version), both in 2021, comes “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). After being unable to purchase the master recordings of her back catalogue of songs, Swift stated that she plans to re-record her first six studio albums in 2019. She can obtain the masters by re-recording them.
Additionally, on Friday night, she sent a picture to Twitter with the caption, “I always looked at this record as my album, and the lump in my throat expands to a quivering voice as I viewed this. Because of you, my reader, it will happen at last. Together with your trust in me, I think this music is the best thing I’ve ever owned.
Swift’s 10th studio album, Midnights, set records and defied original fan speculation that she would release her third re-recorded album last year.
Swift’s Eras Tour began on March 17 in Glendale, Arizona, and is still going today.
