Calling All The Swifties

Miss Taylor Swift has been re-recording some of her old albums, such as Fearless and Red. These two albums are now Taylor’s Version, which means….SHE OWNS THEM.

Why didn't Swift have the rights to her album previously? According to The Daily Campus, Swift’s first six albums were signed under Big Machine Records. In 2018, she signed with Universal Music Group. This record label allowed her to own her music, while Big Machine Records and Scooter Braun (who bought Big Machine Records) did not allow her to own the music that was hers. The albums that Swift created under Big Machine Records include: Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and Reputation. Does this mean we may get future albums that are “Taylor’s Version?”

Swift has added some songs “from the vault” into her Fearless and Red album. From Fearless, six new songs were added from the vault. From Red, nine new songs were added.

The most recent album Swift dropped was Red (Taylor’s Version.) Red is my favorite album of hers, especially the song from the album, All Too Well. Not only did she re-record the original All Too Well song, she recorded a NEW 10 minute version of the song! She also wrote and directed a short film dedicated to the song that starred actor Dylan O’Brien, actress Sadie Sink, and Miss Swift herself.

Many people believe that the album Red is about actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who is nine years older than Swift. The two dated back in 2010 for about three months. At the time, Swift was 20 years old and Gyllenhaal was 29.

Swift has added some songs “from the vault” into her Fearless and Red album. From Fearless, six new songs were added from the vault. From Red, nine new songs were added.

Swift also released a music video for one of the songs from the vault, I Bet You Think About Me (feat. Chris Stapleton.) According to Billboard, actress Blake Lively, a long time friend of Swift, directed the music video. Actor Miles Teller and Keleigh Sperry, who have been married since 2019, appear in the video. Swift of course appears in the video as well.
