Swift took to Instagram to celebrate the re-release of Speak Now with her fans. She wrote, "It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20."
The singer continues, "I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks!"
The singer talks about how she again recorded the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) album at 32. In her note further, Taylor wrote, "memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work.” The singer then thanked her fans and said, “Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now."
Swift is now on her Eras tour, where she celebrated the release of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) alongside Taylor Lautner and Joey King in Kansas City. The singer is now on tour in the United States and will return to Asia in 2024.
