Swift has been rerecording the first six albums in her catalog as a way to reclaim her masters that were controversially sold. The country-turned-pop megawatt star released Fearless (Taylor's Version) in April as the first of her completely rerecorded projects, which included six never-before-heard "From the Vault" tracks, and the album became her ninth No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Fearless originally dropped in 2008 as her sophomore studio album and claimed Album of the Year as well as Best Country Album at the Grammys.

In June, Swift revealed that 2012's Red was getting the rerecorded treatment next:

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
