Taylor Swift has finally announced a release date for her latest album.
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is the next release in her ongoing project to re-record her first six albums. The Anti Hero singer officially confirmed the news at her Nashville gig, before heading over to Twitter to share the news with the rest of the world.
In a Tweet, Taylor wrote: “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 ) 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 https://storeuk.taylorswift.com/.”
In a photo next to the new album artwork, Taylor added: “I always looked at this album as my album, and the lump in my throat expands to a quivering voice as I say this. Thanks to you, dear reader, it finally will be. I consider this music to be, along with your faith in me, the best thing that's ever been mine.”

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) will be released on Friday, July 7. 2023.
Everything we know about Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)
The album will include six previously unreleased "Songs From the Vault”. There will be 22 songs total.
Links to pre-order and pre-save the album went up immediately on Swift's website, which also noted that the re-recorded album will be available in vinyl, cassette, CD, and digital forms starting July 7.
What is the significance of July 9?
In her announcement post, Taylor made reference to July 9 - but what does it mean? July 9 is fact one of the few dates Taylor has mentioned specifically in a song—and fans love it when Taylor mentions an exact date in her song lyrics. Specifically, July 9 gets a shout-out in ‘Last Kiss.’
