Swifties have been demanding a re-recorded version of 1989, but they'll have to wait.

Taylor Swift announced that "the next album I'll be releasing is my version of Red" in a lengthy note posted Friday afternoon (June 18):

The next album that I’ll be releasing is my version of Red, which will be out on November 19. 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 https://t.co/FOBLS5aHpS pic.twitter.com/6zWa64Owgp

The prolific singer-songwriter also changed her Instagram and Twitter bios to say, "Happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time," which every true fan knows is from the pre-chorus of Red track "22."

Swift first dropped Fearless (Taylor's Swift) on April 9 as her first step toward reclaiming her music after the masters to her catalog were controversially sold last year.

As for new music, the 31-year-old put out three records in an 16-month span from August 2019 to last December: Lover, Folklore and Evermore. All three hit No. 1 on the charts, and Folklore claimed album of the year at March's 63rd Grammy Awards.
