Perhaps the next month won’t be so “Treacherous” thanks to this news.
“Got some news that I think you’re gonna like,” Swift, 31, started her tweet. “My version of Red will be out a week earlier than scheduled (including the 4 disc vinyl) on November 12th !”
“Can’t wait to celebrate the 13th with you and our new/old autumn heartbreak,” she added.
Swift also updated her Twitter bio with the new release date, which already included lyrics fromRedfan-favorite “22:” “Happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. Nov. 12th, 2021.”
The “State of Grace” songstress has been teasing fans and even hinting at the release of her album1989after she put “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” on streaming services earlier this month.
Regarding the release ofRed, the songstress shared avideo of scrambled letters floating out of a vaultfor her fans to decipher 30-song tracklist off of the re-released album. With it, she revealed that a 10-minute version of “All Too Well” is on the way, along with several star-studded collabs on songs “from the vault.”
Phoebe Bridgers will join the songstress for “Nothing New,” Chris Stapleton will appear on “I Bet You Think About Me,” and Ed Sheeran — who was already featured on the album’s “Everything Has Changed” — will also sing with Swift on “Run.”
“I can’t express my gratitude enough to these artists for helping me bring these songs to life. I can’t wait til we can dust off our highest hopes and relive these memories together,” Swift wrote. “We’ll also be making a bunch of new ones too, since Red (Taylor’s Version) includes so many songs you haven’t heard yet.”
“Til then, I’ll be counting down and picturing it all in my head,” she added. “In burning red.”

“Tears sprang to my eyes,” Maya Thompson, Ronan’s mom, saidwhen she heard the news of the song’s inclusion. “It took me an hour to absorb the words in front of me. I cried while sharing the news.”
The singer’s decision to re-record came afterScooter Braun bought Swift’s former record label Big Machine— a move that saw him take control of the masters to her first six albums. (Hesold the masters for $300 millionto Shamrock Holdings in November.)
Swift said that while the private equity company reached out to her following their purchase, she declined to work with them since Braun’s Ithaca Holdings would still profit off her old music for “many years.”
