Taylor Swift is currently touring with her new ‘Eras Tour,’ and the fans have received many Easter eggs already! After the Atlanta concert, the bands given to the fans turned purple, signifying the release of the next re-recorded album, and it is ‘Speak Now,’ which is a special one for Tay Tay and Swifties.
Taylor Swift re-recorded ‘Fearless’ and ‘Red.’ She is re-releasing the albums as ‘Taylor’s Version.’ It is because her first record label, Big Machine Records, sold all her music to Scooter Braun in 2019. The music manager sold her masters to Shamrock Capital without giving her the option to buy the music rights to her records. So, the third ‘Taylor’s Version’ album in line is ‘Speak Now.’
