A New Milestone
This 31-track set marks Swift’s eleventh studio album and her first album of new music since 2022’s Grammy-winning “Midnights”. The album features collaborations with Florence + the Machine and Post Malone, as well as writing and production contributions from Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner.

A Trailblazing Artist
Swift’s impact on the music industry cannot be overstated. She has consistently pushed boundaries and broken records throughout her career. With her re-recorded Taylor’s Version albums, she has demonstrated her commitment to her art and her fans. In between “Midnights” and “The Tortured Poets Department”, Swift topped the Billboard 200 with both “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” and “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”, the latter of which became her record-extending sixth album to debut with over one million pure sales in its first week.
