Taylor Swift Officially Announces ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ Rerecording: Everything to Know About Release Date, Features and More
Secret’s out! Taylor Swift officially confirmed Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) after months of speculation among her most diehard fans — and she’s still dropping hints about the big release.
The 33-year-old took the stage in Nashville on May 5 for the first of three Eras Tour shows, surprising the audience with “Sparks Fly” during the acoustic portion of her set.
“It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk 😆),” she later wrote via Instagram, referring to lyrics in her song “Last Kiss.”
She continued: “I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness. I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing … and living to speak about it. With six extra songs I’ve sprung loose from the vault, I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with you on July 7th. Pre-order now at TaylorSwift.com 💜💜💜.”
Swifties began to wonder whether the 2010 record was being revisited after the pop star dropped some not-so-subtle hints throughout her “Bejeweled” music video. When the visual was released in October 2022, eagle-eyed fans spotted a handful of Easter eggs that seemingly pointed to Speak Now, including purple jewelry and a balcony that resembled what was used during the Speak Now tour in 2011 and 2012.
Perhaps the most obvious clue, however, was when the Cats actress pressed a purple elevator button that dropped her off on floor 3. Speak Now was Swift’s third album, and she wears a purple gown on the cover. Each of the other buttons in the elevator appeared to correspond to every record in Swift’s discography, from her self-titled debut to new album Midnights.
