Taylor Swift has revealed the status of her final two re-recorded albums after announcing that she now owns her entire music catalog.
泰勒·斯威夫在宣布自己现已拥有全部音乐作品版权后，透露了她最后两张重新录制的专辑的状态。
In a letter shared to her official website on Friday, the singer announced that she had bought back all of the master recordings for her first six albums from Shamrock Capital "with no strings attached," thanks to support for her re-recordings, as well as the success of her global Eras Tour.
周五，这位歌手在其官方网站上发布了一封信， 信中称，在粉丝对其重录专辑的支持以及全球巡演“时代巡回演唱会”大获成功的助力下她已从Shamrock Capital“无任何附加条件”地 买回了前六张专辑的所有母带录音版权。
Swift has been re-recording the albums from her former label, Big Machine Label Group, in order to take ownership of the records that made her a household name. In 2021, she released "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" and "Red (Taylor's Version)," and in 2023, she released "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" and "1989 (Taylor's Version." The last two albums she had left to re-record were "Reputation" and her self-titled debut album.
斯威夫特一直在重录她前东家Big Machine Label Group时期的专辑， 以此获得那些让她声名大噪的唱片所有权。 2021年，她发行了《Fearless (Taylor's Version)》和《Red (Taylor's Version)》 2023年，她又发行了《Speak Now (Taylor's Version)》和《1989 (Taylor's Version)》。她尚未重录的最后两张专辑是《Reputation》和她的同名首张专辑。
In her letter on Friday, Swift opened up about "Reputation (Taylor's Version)," writing, "Full transparency: I haven't even re-recorded a quarter of it."
在周五的信中，斯威夫特谈到了《Reputation (Taylor's Version)》，她写道：“完全坦诚地说， 这张专辑我连四分之一都还没重录完。”
"The Reputation album was so specific to that time in my life, and I kept hitting a stopping point when I tried to remake it," she wrote. "All that defiance, that longing to be understood while feeling purposely misunderstood, that desperate hope, that shame-born snarl and mischief. To be perfectly honest, it's the one album in those first 6 that I thought couldn't be improved upon by redoing it. Not the music, or photos, or videos. So I kept putting it off."
“《Reputation》这张专辑与我生命中那段特定的时光紧密相连，当我尝试重制它时，总是会遇到一个难以跨越的节点，”她写道。 “专辑中所有的反抗、渴望被理解却又故意被误解的矛盾、绝望中的希望、因羞耻而生的咆哮与恶作剧般的俏皮。 说实话，在我最初的那六张专辑里，我认为这张是重制也无法超越原版的。 并非指音乐、照片或视频本身无法超越，而是我觉得重制无法让这张专辑变得更好。 所以我一直拖着没做。”
Swift then assured her fans that if they are open to the idea, there will be a time "for the unreleased vault tracks from that album to hatch."
随后，斯威夫特向粉丝保证，如果他们愿意接受这个想法，那么“这张专辑未发行的宝藏曲目终会有问世之时”。
As for the re-recorded version of her debut album, Swift said that she has "already re-recorded" it in its entirety, writing, "I really love how it sounds now."
至于她的首张同名专辑的重录版，斯威夫特表示她已经“完整重录”了这张专辑，并写道： “我现在真的很喜欢它重录后的声音。”
"Those 2 albums can still have their moments to re-emerge when the time is right, if that would be something you guys would be excited about," she wrote. "But if it happens, it won't be from a place of sadness and longing for what I wish I could have. It will just be a celebration now."
“如果你们愿意为此感到兴奋，那么这两张专辑在合适的时机 仍有可能重新出现在大众视野中，”她写道。 “但如果真有那么一天，那也不会是因为我因未能拥有原版而感到悲伤和渴望， 现在这只会是一场庆祝。”
Swift's debut album, "Taylor Swift," was released in 2006 and features the hit songs "Teardrops On My Guitar," "Tim McGraw," "Picture to Burn" and "Our Song."
