Taylor Swift’s anticipated fourth studio album will be released on October 22nd. Entitled 'Red', the album will be released by Big Machine Label Group and Mercury Records and contains 16 tracks. After writing her last album, 'Speak Now', entirely by herself, for this record Taylor collaborated with several artists, producers, and songwriters she had always wanted to work with.
“For the last two years, I've been working on an album called Red,” Taylor says. “I called it Red because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love and loss that it chronicles. In my mind, when you experience love that's fast paced and out of control and mixes infatuation, jealousy, frustration, miscommunication, and all of those lovely emotions…in retrospect, it all looks red.”
Taylor herself announced the news about her forthcoming album during a live YouTube web chat with her fans. Watch the announcement here.
The first single from 'Red', 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,' has already reached Number 1 on iTunes in 25 countries.
Earlier this year, Taylor wrapped her world tour in support of 'Speak Now' having played 111 shows to more than 1.5 million fans in sold-out stadiums and arenas, (including London’s O2), in 19 countries and 88 cities spanning four continents.
