Pop icon Taylor Swift has announced a new album, "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" the third installment of her "Taylor's Version" releases.

Raised in Tennessee, Swift chose her Nashville concert on Friday night to announce that she would be releasing "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)."

The album will be available on July 7th. It will be the latest installment of her back catalog re-recording, following "Red (Taylor's Version)" and "Fearless (Taylor's Version)."

The new album will contain six new songs and redone versions of her originals.

In a statement on Twitter, the singer-songwriter wrote, "I always looked at this album as my album, and the lump in my throat expands to a quivering voice as I say this. Thanks to you, dear reader, it finally will be.

"I consider this music, along with your faith in me, the best thing that's ever been mine."

Taylor Swift superfan and singer-songwriter Jessye Farquharson gave Insider her reaction: "It received awards but wasn't recognized loads by critics, and I feel like it's not the jury favorite, but it's our favorite and has always been my favorite.

"The fact she chose to announce it on her first date in Nashville, reclaiming her self-written album in the place where all her masters were stolen from her, is so special."

In June 2019, American singer-songwriter Swift had a highly publicized dispute with her former record label, Big Machine Records, its founder Scott Borchetta, and new owner Scooter Braun, over the ownership of the master recordings of her first six studio albums.

Writing for Insider, Abigail Abesamis Demarest crowned the original "Speak Now" album as Swift's "most iconic" album, so the remastered version has much to live up to.
