Taylor Swift has re-recorded her 2008 album Fearless and the first track from the new sessions, “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” will be released at midnight.
Fearless (Taylor’s Version) has 26 songs including six never before released songs that she wrote during the same time period, around ages 16 to 18.
Swift shared the news Thursday (Feb. 11) via a video message aired exclusively on Good Morning America. She said, “I’ve now gone back and recorded those so that everyone will be able to hear not only the songs that made the album but the songs that almost made it. The full picture.”
She also revealed the cover artwork for the album and followed the announcement with social media posts, including the one on Twitter (below). In part, she writes, “This process has been more fulfilling and emotional than I could’ve imagined and has made me even more determined to re-record all of my music.” Fans quickly noticed the random capitalized letters which spell out “APRIL NINTH,” and predicted that is the release date of the album.
Swift has long had plans to re-record her first six albums, following the acquisition of her former label home, Big Machine Records, by Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings.
