For those in need of a refresher, Swift decided to go ahead with rerecording her entire catalog after her former label Big Machine Records sold her masters. Swift previously released Fearless (Taylor’s Version) back in April, which earned some chart accolades at the time, and is making her way through her discography.
Taylor’s quest to rerecord her music has been met with praise by her fellow musicians. Her ex Joe Jonas called the move “really clever.” Dave Grohl even applauded Swift’s endeavor. He said he was “deeply impressed” with Swift and even tried to do the same with Foo Fighters’ 1995 self-titled album, but the rest of the band wasn’t into the idea.
Red (Taylor’s Version) is out 11/12 via Republic. Pre-order it here.
