evermore [Transparent Green 2 LP]
  • Taylor Swift has announced her ninth studio album, evermore; folklore's sister record

Which albums do not have Taylor’s Versions?

As of August 7, 2026, no Taylor’s Version has been officially released for:

  • Taylor Swift
  • reputation

Swift wrote in a May 30, 2025 letter that she had completely re-recorded her debut album and liked how it sounded. She also said that both the debut re-recording and reputation (Taylor’s Version) could return “when the time is right.” She did not announce a release date for either project.

Midnights [Moonstone Blue Edition LP]
  • Taylor Swift's 10th studio album Midnights was released on October 21, 2022

Does Taylor Swift own the original albums now?

Yes. The idea that Taylor’s Versions exist because Swift still lacks ownership of every original recording is no longer accurate.

In the same 2025 letter, Swift announced that she had bought back the rights to her first six albums: Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now, Red, 1989, and reputation. She said that she now owns the original masters as well as the music videos, concert films, album artwork, photography, and unreleased songs connected to that early catalog.

Also popular on Amazon

The four Taylor’s Version albums remain newly recorded alternative master recordings. Swift therefore owns both the original early-album masters and the newer Taylor’s Version masters.

How many Taylor Swift albums are there?

The answer depends on what is being counted:

  • 12 original studio albums: the main studio-album discography, from Taylor Swift through The Life of a Showgirl.
  • Four Taylor’s Version releases: re-recorded albums released separately from their original versions.
  • 16 chronological album releases: the 12 originals plus the four re-recordings, ordered by release date.

THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY is not a separate studio album for this count. It is the expanded 31-song edition of THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT, released on the same date, April 19, 2024. Deluxe editions, the “3am” and “Til Dawn” editions of Midnights, live albums, karaoke releases, and compilations are likewise not counted as additional original studio albums here.

Why are Taylor’s Versions listed separately?

A Taylor’s Version is not simply a deluxe edition or remastered copy. It is a new recording of an earlier album, usually combining newly recorded versions of familiar songs with previously unreleased vault tracks. Listing each re-recording separately preserves both parts of the chronology: when the original album first appeared and when Swift released its new master recording.
