Taylor confirms ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ album

Taylor Swift has finally revealed the track list for her highly anticipated re-recorded album, “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” much to the delight of her fans. The album, slated for release on July 7, will feature not only the familiar 16 tracks from Swift’s original 2010 album but also six previously unheard songs referred to as “from the vault.”

One of the most exciting aspects of the reimagined album is the inclusion of two special collaborations. The track “Castles Crumbling” will feature Hayley Williams, the lead vocalist of the popular rock band Paramore. Additionally, “Electric Touch” will showcase the talents of Fall Out Boy, a renowned pop-punk band. Swift made the announcement on Twitter, where she also shared her inspiration behind choosing these particular artists. She expressed her admiration for their powerful influence on her songwriting during the time of the original album’s release.

The revelation of the four new songs, titled “When Emma Falls in Love,” “I Can See You,” “Foolish One,” and “Timeless,” further heightened excitement among fans, as they eagerly anticipate the unique musical experiences these additions will bring.

During a recent Nashville show on May 5, Swift confirmed that “Speak Now” would be her next re-released album. Reflecting on the emotional depth and vulnerability of the songs, she took to social media to express her love for this particular album. Swift described it as a tale of growing up, experiencing moments of triumph and failure, and ultimately finding the courage to speak one’s truth.

Ahead of the re-release, Swift’s ex-boyfriend, actor Taylor Lautner, lightheartedly addressed the impact of the breakup songs on him and other rumored subjects. He playfully acknowledged the well-known ballad “Back to December,” widely believed to be about their relationship. Lautner showed his support for the album, even making a humorous reference to John Mayer, another one of Swift’s exes, and the subject of the scathing track “Dear John”.

Swift’s decision to re-record her entire discography stems from her ongoing battle for ownership of her master recordings with her previous label, Big Machine Records. By releasing these re-recorded albums under the banner of “Taylor’s Version,” she reclaims control over her music and ensures that fans can continue to enjoy her beloved songs with her artistic vision intact. Each re-release has also come with additional content, such as extended versions of fan favorites and exciting collaborations.

Following the success of her re-recorded albums “Fearless (Taylor’s Version)” and “Red (Taylor’s Version)” in 2021, the anticipation for “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” is at an all-time high. Swift’s unwavering dedication to her craft and her commitment to giving fans a fresh perspective on her music has solidified her status as a trailblazer in the industry. With the inclusion of unheard songs and captivating collaborations, “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” promises to be a must-listen for both die-hard Swifties and new listeners alike.

As the release date approaches, fans eagerly await the opportunity to immerse themselves in the timeless magic of “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and experience the evolution of “Taylor Swift”‘s artistry firsthand.
