After confirming that Speak Now (Taylor's Version) will officially be released on July 7, reluctant insect-enjoyer Taylor Swift has revealed the tracklist for the latest instalment in her re-recording project — featuring guest spots from Paramore's Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy.
In addition to the 14 tracks included on the original version of the album (released on October 25, 2010), Speak Now TV will include deluxe edition bonus tracks "Ours" and "Superman," as well as six previously unheard songs from the vault.
"I'm VERY excited to show you the back cover of Speak Now (my version) including the vault tracks and collaborations with Hayley Williams from [Paramore] and [Fall Out Boy]," Swift wrote on social media. "Since Speak Now was all about my songwriting, I decided to go to the artists who I feel influenced me most powerfully as a lyricist at that time and ask them to sing on the album. They're so cool and generous for agreeing to support my version of Speak Now. I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and can't wait to unveil it all to you on July 7th."

Nothing screams 2010 more than FOB and Paramore — the latter having released Brand New Eyes the year prior and the former putting out Folie à Deux the year before that. It was also in 2010 that Williams did that feature on B.o.B.'s "Airplanes" that still leaves in your head rent-free.
It's particularly fitting that Swift and Williams have been friends for years (Paramore just did a stint opening the Eras Tour), and the pop star was long-rumoured to have written the Speak Now title track about Williams's relationship with former band member Josh Farro — all of which happened prior to him being outed as a massive homophobe in 2020, of course.
