Taylor Swift’s re-recorded 30-track version of Red is nearing release. Moved up from its original November 19th date to November 12th, Taylor’s Version of the collection will include 30-tracks and feature nine bonus songs including collaborations with Chris Stapleton, Ed Sheeran and Phoebe Bridgers and other tracks that were originally meant for Red (the 2012 edition), but ended up with other artists such as “Better Man” for Little Big Town.

Taylor explains how she was heartbroken during the original making of the album but during the process of writing and recording, she healed from that heartbreak.

“Musically and lyrically, Red’ resembled a heartbroken person,” she says. “It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild and tortured by memories past.” These are the original 30 songs that were meant for Red. I love you guys!”

The global superstar surprised fans when she dropped a 30-second teaser on her socials with several word jumbles floating out of a vault in early August, and it didn’t take long for fans to solve the puzzle.

The CD includes an exclusive album booklet with never-before-seen photos, artwork and lyrics for the nine songs from the vault. The vinyl version (which includes four records) includes nine songs from the vault, lyrics to all 30 songs, never-before-seen photos and artwork and handwritten lyrics for the 10-minute version of “All Too Well.”

Kacey Musgraves will perform on CBS’ The Late Show with Stephen Colbert tonight (October 18th) at 11:35pm ET/10:35pm CT.

Taylor Swift and Mickey Guyton will appear during the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame’s 36th annual Induction Ceremony.

“I’ve always said that the world is a different place for the heartbroken. It moves on a different axis, at a different speed. Time skips backwards and forwards fleetingly. The heartbroken might go through thousands of micro-emotions a day trying to figure out how to get through it without picking up the phone to hear that old familiar voice,” Swift wrote in the post’s caption. “In the land of heartbreak, moments of strength, independence, and devil-may-care rebellion are intricately woven together with grief, paralyzing vulnerability and hopelessness. Imagining your future might always take you on a detour back to the past. And this is all to say, that the next album I’ll be releasing is my version of Red.”

Taylor described how she was heartbroken during the original making of the album, but during the process of writing and recording, she healed from that heartbreak.

“Musically and lyrically, ‘Red’ resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past,” Swift wrote. “Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way.”

Alan Jackson, Mickey Guyton and Vince Gill will perform during the National Memorial Day Concert airing May 30th on PBS at 8pm ET.

Taylor Swift has made history once again. She will receive the Global Icon Award at the 2021 Brit Awards making her the first female recipient of the honor. The Global Icon award is “the highest accolade given and is reserved for truly exceptional artists” and Swift will be the fourth recipient after Elton John (2014), David Bowie (2016) and Robbie Williams (2017). She is being honored for “her immense impact on music across the world and incredible repertoire and achievements to date” and is also up for the International Female Solo Artist Award at the ceremony, which is taking place Tuesday (May 11th).

Right before Mother’s Day (May 9th), Taylor Swift has released the video for “The Best Day (Taylor’s Version).” The clip features home videos and personal photos of Taylor and her mother, along with her younger brother and father from when she was just a young baby to her rising success as a global superstar.

Click here to check out the video.

Taylor originally wrote and recorded the song for her mother and surprised her with it on Christmas.

“’The Best Day’ is the song I wrote without telling my mom. I wrote it in the summertime, and I recorded it secretly too, and I had this idea that I wanted to play it for her for Christmas,” Taylor said when it was originally released over a decade ago. “And so when I got the track, I synched up all these home videos from when I was a little kid to go along with the song like a music video. And played it for her on Christmas Eve, and she was crying her eyes out.”

“The Best Day (Taylor’s version)” is from the re-recorded version of her Fearless album, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200.

Taylor Swift appeared on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert to talk about her release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) on Friday (April 9th). The two got into a discussion about the song “Hey Stephen,” which the television host felt was written about him. Don’t let the “mood board” fool you; Taylor insists the song was NOT about him.

There also seemed to be a lot of chatter from fans about “Easter Eggs” embedded within the interview, and speculation has it that maybe her new version of 1989 may be next…or maybe it might be the LP containing “You Need to Calm Down” from Lover?

Taylor Swift sent fans on a huge Easter Egg/Scavenger hunt before unveiling the track list for Fearless (Taylor’s version), which is set for release this Friday (April 9th). “The vault door is about to be unhinged as you’ll think I am after you watch this video,” she tweeted.

Her fans immediately decoded the clues and revealed Keith Urban would also be included on the album. The only song previously released from the re-recordings is “You All Over Me (From The Vault),” featuring Maren Morris on background vocals.

The global superstar commended her fans on socials and wrote, “Here’s the full track list, my friends. I’m really honored that @keithurban is a part of this project, duetting on That’s When and singing harmonies on We Were Happy. I was his opening act during the Fearless album era and his music has inspired me endlessly. I’m counting down the minutes til we can all jump into this brave world together, filled with equal parts nostalgia and brand newness.”

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will include Fearless‘ original 20 songs (19 tracks from the Platinum edition and “Today Is a Fairytale”), plus six newly recorded songs that she had written around the time of the Fearless sessions.

Taylor is also currently making her way up the country charts with her single, “no body, no crime” from her recently released album, evermore.
