Taylor Swift to release re-recording of Speak Now

Swift, 33, made the announcement last Friday during her The Eras Tour concert in Nashville, and later elaborated on the news via her social media accounts.

She wrote on Instagram: "It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out on July 7. 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." Swift added that the re-recorded release would include six previously unheard songs from her personal "vault".
