Taylor Swift to Release 'Red (Taylor's Version)' Album in November

After releasing Fearless (Taylor's Version) in April, Taylor Swift has announced that her fourth studio album Red is the next of her re-recorded works to launch later this fall on November 19. Many fans believed that her Grammy-winning album 1989 would be her next re-recorded drop while others assumed she would go in chronological order and release her version of Speak Now next. However, it seems the "Lover" singer surprised everyone with her big announcement. The singer revealed the news to her fans in an Instagram post which was met with overwhelming excitement from her dedicated Swifties.

"I’ve always said that the world is a different place for the heartbroken," the singer wrote in the caption of her post. "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. 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."

She continued, "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. 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."

Swift also revealed that Red (Taylor's Version) will be an extension of the original album with the full tracklist of 30 songs that were written for the record back in 2013. She also alluded to the  10-minute cut of her famous breakup ballad "All Too Well" that fans have been clamoring for since the knowledge of its existence.

The singer added in her post, "Sometimes you need to talk [a breakup] over (over and over and over) for it to ever really be... over. Like your friend who calls you in the middle of the night going on and on about their ex, I just couldn’t stop writing. This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red. And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long."
