What time will 'Speak Now' be coming out? Here's all the info on Taylor Swift's latest re-recording, from the tracklist to the secretly filmed music videos...
Taylor Swift's reimagination of 'Speak Now' is nearly here! The highly-anticipated record is coming out on July 7 – but everyone wants to know what time it drops.
Taking to Instagram two months before its release, Taylor said: "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."
Taylor said the album 'tells a tale of growing up' which is why so many life-long Swifties resonate with the LP; she also revealed six extra songs from 'The Vault' will be released with the record.

Taylor Swift is releasing 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' on July 7 – but fans on this side of the pond are all desperate to know what time the LP is dropping.
The album will be released at midnight Eastern Standard Time, meaning that it will arrive on streaming platforms in the UK at 5 AM British Summer Time!
'Speak Now' is getting its renaissance 13 years after the album was originally released in October 2010.
It's speculated that the songstress finished recording the LP before her Eras tour began and fans got their first listen when she dropped 'If This Was A Movie' the day before The Eras Tour kicked off; the song was originally on the deluxe edition of 'Speak Now'.
Upon announcing the tracklist, Taylor revealed: "I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now)."
It's rumoured Tay worked on the re-recording of '1989' at the same time too, which was around the time of her 10th album 'Midnights' released last year.
During an 11-day break from the road in April, Taylor was spotted filming a music video in Liverpool which was widely assumed to be for a song from the 'Speak Now' record. Leaked images of the pop star on the set show her in her iconic 2010 get-up.

Taylor took to Twitter to share the official tracklisting for the 22-song album and we're just a little bit too excited!
Of course, fans are getting re-recordings of 'Speak Now's original 16 songs and we can't wait for the six never-heard-before vault tracks to grace our ears.
In true 2010 fashion, Swift collaborated with the likes of Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy, both of which are featured on songs from 'The Vault'.

Since Speak Now was all about my songwriting, I decided to go to the artists who I feel influenced me most… pic.twitter.com/UJOqUNfCGp

Taylor announced the 'Speak Now (Taylor's Version)' release date on 6th May. She wrote on Instagram: "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 TaylorSwift.com."
