Taylor Swift is in the process of re-releasing her first six albums as 'Taylor's Versions' due to the dispute over her master rights.

The singer released 1989 (Taylor's Version) last month, marking the fourth album she has re-recorded from her back catalogue.

While she now owns the majority of her discography, this still leaves two albums that are yet to be rolled out: Reputation (Taylor's Version) and Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version).

Swift's self-titled debut album was released in 2006 and includes some of her first hits, including Teardrops on My Guitar and Tim McGraw.

So, what songs could be included in Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) and could the re-recorded version drop before or after Reputation (Taylor’s Version)? Read on for everything we know so far.

Swift is yet to announce a release date for Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version), but that hasn't stopped fans theorising about when it could land.

Back in May 2023, the music video for Swift's Karma remix featuring Ice Spice contained a clock in latte art, with Swift's fingers pointing to different numbers.

Fans were quick to spot a finger with a blue-painted nail close to the eight, leading to speculation that the new version of 1989 would be announced in August (which it was!).

Meanwhile, a finger with a black-painted nail pointed to the two, leading fans to speculate that Reputation (Taylor's Version) could be announced in February 2024.
