Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift has announced that Red will be her next re-recorded album in her “Taylor’s Version” series of redone records from her career. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) debuted at #1 when it arrived earlier this spring. Red (Taylor’s Version) will be out on November 19.
In a social media post, Swift said this new version of Red will feature a total of 30 songs, teasing that one is ten minutes long. She also wrote, “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.”
She added, “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.”
Red featured Swift’s #1 hit “We Are Never Getting Back Together” as well as “22,” “I Knew You Were Trouble” and other smashes. Swift is re-recording her previous work as a response to her master recordings being sold by Big Machine to Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings.
