The song will be released at midnight ET (0500
GMT) on Thursday, Swift told viewers on ABC's "Good Morning
America."
"I'm so excited to share with you that tonight, at midnight,
I'll be putting out my version of my song 'Love Story,' which
was originally on my album 'Fearless,'" Swift said.
"I've now finished rerecording all of 'Fearless,' which will be
coming out soon. My version of 'Fearless' will have 26 songs on
it because I've decided to add songs from the vault, which are
songs that almost made the original 'Fearless' album, but I've
now gone back and recorded those so that everyone will be able
to hear not only songs that made the album but the songs that
almost made it. The full picture!"
The original "Fearless," released in 2008, was the second studio
album by Swift, who has risen from a country music singer who
often opened for others to a U.S. pop star in her own right.
The Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, who in November was
voted artist of the year for the sixth time at the American
Music Awards, also told her millions of followers on Twitter and
Instagram about the new album.
She included a peek at the cover, a sepia photograph of her
upper body, eyes closed and quickly turning her head so that her
blond hair streams out behind her.
"It has 26 songs, including 6 never before released from the
vault. Love Story (Taylor's Version) will be out tonight,"
@taylorswift13 said on Twitter.
