Taylor Swift’s ambitious re-recording of her back catalog continues with the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).

Big Machine Records released Speak Now, the US superstar’s third studio album, in 2010.

Swift began re-recording her first six albums when the master recordings were purchased by popular talent manager Scooter Braun when he purchased her former label, much to her chagrin.

The masters have since changed hands again, according to a deal with investment firm Shamrock Capital, but Swift has maintained her efforts to reclaim ownership of the music by recording new versions of the songs.

Swift inked a deal with Universal Music in 2018 that allegedly gave her control over her master recordings.

She has already remastered her earlier albums Fearless and Red.

She is yet to release updated versions of her self-titled debut album from 2006, 1989 from 2014, and Reputation from 2017. It is believed that work on 1989 has already been completed.

Swift’s brief relationship with John Mayer, which ended in 2009, will be brought back into the spotlight with the re-release of Speak Now.

The couple apparently began dating in late 2009, when she was 19 and he was 32, and split in early 2010.

Speak Now features the track Dear John, with lyrics that blast an older partner who toyed with her emotions, including: “Dear John, I see it all now that you’re gone. Don’t you think I was too young to be messed with?”

The song is commonly regarded as an imitation of Mayer’s own musical style, including an extended guitar solo that bears uncanny resemblance to his riffs.

Three years later, he returned with his own song, Paper Doll, about a girl who didn’t know who she was.

Fans have hypothesized that the Speak Now re-record, which includes six previously unheard “from the vault” recordings, will include additional songs referencing Mayer.

Taylor Lautner, another of Swift’s ex-boyfriends, tweeted that he was “praying” for Mayer when the Speak Now release date was announced.

Swift, on the other hand, asked her fans not to cyberbully her ex-boyfriends on her behalf before performing Dear John for the first time in 11 years during a gig on her current Eras tour.

“I was hoping to ask you, that as we lead up to this album, I would love for that kindness and gentleness to extend onto our internet activities,” she told the crowd.

“My age is 33.” Except for the songs I created and the memories we made together, I don’t care about anything that occurred to me when I was 19.

“What I’m trying to say is that I’m not releasing this album so that you can feel the need to defend me on the internet against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago.” I don’t mind. We’ve all matured. We’re OK.”

Collaborations with Fallout Boy and Hayley Williams from Paramore are among the vault tunes.

Swift is presently on tour with her Eras tour, which will stop in Ireland in 2024.

She announced 14 more stops in the UK and Europe on Thursday, including three new dates in Dublin from June 28 to 30.

The US megastar was already scheduled to perform at Dublin’s Aviva Stadium on June 28 and 29, but has now added a Sunday gig.

There has been speculation on the internet that this may preclude her from playing at the Glastonbury festival in 2024, which also occurs on these dates.

Swift was meant to perform at the world-famous Somerset festival in 2020, however the festival was canceled due to the coronavirus epidemic.
