The mystery of the season’s most awaited album is lifted now in a post on her social media account on August 6, a day after her usual pre-album clue-dropping shenanigans, Taylor Swift blessed the residents of her ‘SwiftLand’ and officially confirmed the tracklist, including all of the never-heard-before vault songs and new collaborations for her album Red (Taylor’s Version), which will release on November 19. The pop star shared a photograph of her in her classic red lips and high-waisted shorts from her 2013 tour in support of the original Red album.
The official announcement came after Taylor set her fans down a path of serious detective work by releasing a tricky word scramble for them to solve. The lines of jumbled letters turned out to be the word search when stacked on top of one another, and the most studious of the Swifties were able to decode the titles of the unreleased tracks as well as the names of a few huge collaborators: Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers, and Chris Stapleton.
Soon after that, a link began circulating the Swiftverse that allowed people to guess the song titles of the previously unreleased vault songs in a fill-in-the-blanks worksheet. Once they guessed correctly, users were congratulated for “unlocking the vault”
Fans did notice, however, that a couple of Red era favorites were missing from the tracklist, particularly “Safe & Sound” of the Hunger Games soundtrack, “Sweeter Than Fiction” and a super off-the-record, never-released song supposedly called “Battle,” which fans thought for sure would be one of the vault tracks. Taylor seemed to address these by tweeting, “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. Till then, I’ll be counting down and picturing it all in my head. In burning red.”
