Taylor Swift has revealed she will be releasing a new version of her 2012 album Red later this year.

The US singer has been re-recording some of her previous releases following a high-profile row over the ownership of her master recordings with the prominent talent manager Scooter Braun.

She wrote on Twitter: “This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red.

“And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long.”

She said the album “resembled a heartbroken person”, adding: “It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end.”

Earlier this year, another of her re-recorded albums topped the UK album chart and snatched a long-held record from The Beatles.

The album, titled Fearless (Taylor’s Version), was her third chart-topping album in the space of just 259 days, following surprise releases Folklore in July and Evermore in December, and it has set a new record for the fastest accumulation of three number ones, according to the Official Charts Company.

The new version of Red will be released on November 19.
