From the Vault tracks are Taylor Swift songs that were originally written for an album but were ultimately unreleased in the original issue of the album. The "Vault" tracks were subsequently released in the re-recorded versions of her albums, as well as re-editions of newer albums. The first track released From the Vault was You All Over Me on Fearless (Taylor's Version).[1]
Background[edit]
Taylor Swift signed a publishing contract with Sony/ATV Tree Publishing in 2004, at 14 years old, to become a songwriter[2] and a recording contract with Nashville-based independent record label Big Machine the next year to become a country singer.[3] Her self-titled debut studio album (2006) was the longest-charting album on the Billboard 200 of the 2000s, and it established Swift as one of country music's rising stars.[4][5] She subsequently released her second studio album, Fearless, on November 11, 2008.[6] A country pop album, Fearless followed the country styling of Swift's debut[7] and incorporated radio-friendly pop crossover and pop rock elements.[8][9] It spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and, supported by the pop-radio hits "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me",[10] catapulted Swift into mainstream prominence beyond the country-music scene.[11][12] Critics lauded Swift's songwriting for portraying earnest teenage feelings, and musicologist James E. Perone commented that Fearless transformed her status from a prodigy to a "singer-songwriter superstar".[13] The most-awarded country album in history, it won Album of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, the Country Music Association Awards, and the Grammy Awards.[14][15]
Under Big Machine, Swift released her next four studio albums, from Speak Now (2010) to Reputation (2017).[16] She parted ways with the label after her contract expired in 2018 and thereafter signed a new contract with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group.[17] In 2019, talent manager Scooter Braun and his company Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine Records. The masters of Swift's Big Machine-released albums, including Fearless, were effectively transferred to Braun.[18] Swift publicly denounced the purchase and began re-recording her first six studio albums, including Fearless, in November 2020.[19] By re-recording her catalog, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, including the copyright licensing of her songs, which devalued the Big Machine-owned masters.[20] On February 11, 2021, she announced on Good Morning America that she would release the re-recording of Fearless, to which she added the subtitle Taylor's Version, as the first in the series of her re-recorded albums.[21] In addition to that, her re-recorded albums would contain tracks that did not make it into the original albums, captioned as "From the Vault".[22]
