Must List

Taylor Swift just dropped the Speak Now (Taylor's Version) track list—here's what we know

When Taylor says "drop everything now," she means it. 

Earlier today, Taylor Swift posted the back cover of Speak Now (Taylor's Version) to her Instagram, featuring the names of all 22 songs set to be released this July. Not only did she rerecord the 16 original tracks—Tay also revealed the names of six never-been-heard-before "From the Vault" songs.

While Taylor's past two rerecorded albums had vault songs released in a cryptic, puzzle-like manner (remember the Red-themed word search that felt like it had no right answer?), the Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault) tracks were released all at once, without any casually cruel word games. Blondie may have spared us for now, but who knows? Another easter egg may be just around the corner.

The official vault tracklist

Um, just look at these names. Who is Emma? Why are castles crumbling? Is the foolish one John Mayer, Kanye West or Taylor herself? We have so many questions we can't wait to be answered. "Timeless" was also, at one time, rumored to be the name of Swift's sixth studio album before we knew it was reputation. We're glad it's finally having its moment. 

17. "Electric Touch" (Featuring Fall Out Boy) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
18. "When Emma Falls in Love" (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
19. "I Can See You" (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
20. "Castles Crumbling" (Featuring Hayley Williams) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
21. "Foolish One" (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
22. "Timeless" (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)

The featured artists

One of our favorite things about Taylor's rerecordings are the guest musicians that join her on certain songs. (Red (Taylor's Version) gave us "Nothing New" featuring Phoebe Bridgers, and Fearless (Taylor's Version) gave us "You All Over Me" with Maren Morris.)

Thirteen years later, Taylor honors her 2010 songwriting inspirations by featuring Fall Out Boy and Paramore's lead singer Haley Williams, "since Speak Now was all about...songwriting."

The reactions

Hayley Williams's feature on the album doesn't come as a surprise to some Swifties, as Williams  hinted at her collaboration with Swift just a few days ago at a meet and greet with a fan who gave her a Speak Now-themed friendship bracelet.

When Taylor Swift does anything, the internet goes crazy—and the vault track release is no exception. Plenty of fans on TikTok are already showering the album with compliments before even hearing the songs themselves. But knowing how beautiful both the Fearless and Red vault tracks were, we honestly get it.
