Taylor Swift announces release date for re-recorded 'Fearless' album in a hidden message
Taylor Swift on Thursday took to her Instagram handle to announce that she will be releasing the re-recorded album 'Fearless' with 26 tracks instead of 13
Taylor Swift on Thursday took to her Instagram handle to announce that she will be releasing the re-recorded album 'Fearless' with 26 tracks. In a long note, Swift wrote that the album will feature re-recorded songs from the 2008 Grammy-winning sophomore album 'Fearless', plus six-never-before released songs that she wrote as a teenager.
In a hidden message, Taylor capitalized the letters that hint at the release date — April Ninth. Her official website is offering preorders of the album and notifies that it will be delivered on April 9th. In 2009, her album 'Fearless' took her to the number one spot, selling 3.22 million copies
"My version of ‘Fearless’ will have 26 songs on it because I’ve decided to add songs from the vault, which are songs that almost made the original ‘Fearless’ album, but I’ve now gone back and recorded those so that everyone will be able to hear not only the songs that made the album, but the songs that almost made it,” Swift said.
