Taylor Swift has announced Fearless: Taylor’s Version as the first of her planned six re-recorded albums. The redone take of her 2008 Grammy-winning sophomore effort will have 26 songs, which include six never-before-released tunes written by Swift between the ages of 13 and 16.
The superstar is taking the bold move due to the multi-million-dollar acquisition of her original masters by Scooter Braun. Swift, who signed her record deal with Big Machine Label Group when she was a teenager, alleged that she hadn’t been given a fair chance to purchase and own her own master recordings.
Swift had been candid in speaking out about the nightmarish battle over her music, as explained in this interview.
With the re-recordings, Swift will have ownership of the new versions of her songs.
