Reputation[a] (Taylor's Version) is the upcoming sixth and final re-recorded album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It releases on July 4, 2025, by Republic Records, as part of Swift's ongoing re-recording project following the 2019 dispute over the master recordings of her back catalog. The album is a re-recording of Swift's sixth studio album, Reputation (2017).

Background

[edit]

Taylor Swift's sixth studio album, Reputation, was released on November 10, 2017, under Big Machine Records,[1][2] as per her recording contract, which expired in November 2018. She hence withdrew from Big Machine and signed a new deal with Republic Records, which secured her the rights to own the masters of any new music she would release.[3] In 2019, American businessman Scooter Braun acquired Big Machine;[4] the ownership of the masters to Swift's first six studio albums, including Reputation, transferred to him.[5] In August 2019, Swift denounced Braun's purchase and announced that she would re-record her first six studio albums so as to own their masters herself.[6] Swift began the re-recording process in November 2020.[7] Fearless (Taylor's Version), the first of her six re-recorded albums, was released on April 9, 2021, followed by Red (Taylor's Version) on November 12, 2021,[8][9], Speak Now (Taylor's Version) on July 7, 2023, and 1989 (Taylor's Version) on October 27, 2023; all four achieved critical and commercial success, debuting atop the U.S. Billboard 200 chart.[10]
