Taylor Swift, born on December 13, 1989, in West Reading, Pennsylvania, is a multi-talented singer-songwriter recognized for her emotive lyrics and captivating melodies. She began her musical journey at the tender age of 14 when she signed a music publishing deal with Sony/ATV, making history as the youngest signing in the company's annals. Swift's first major label album release came in 2006 with Big Machine Records, and she rapidly climbed the charts with hits like "Tim McGraw." Her knack for songwriting, combined with musical versatility, has since made her a seminal figure in the 21st-century music scene, amassing numerous awards including multiple Grammys. Her upcoming song "SLUT! (Taylor's Version)" is a part of the re-recorded album "1989 (Taylor's Version)," which is set to release on October 27, 2023, marking the exact nine-year anniversary of the original album's release. The song "SLUT!" is Taylor Swift's audacious attempt to reclaim and redefine derogatory terms that were once used against her, particularly during the early phase of her career. This track is unique as it's being released from the vault, indicating that it's a previously unreleased song from the time of the original album's creation. The announcement of this song and the album was made on August 9, 2023, during Swift's Eras Tour show at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. "SLUT! (Taylor's Version)" not only reflects Swift's continuous effort to call out slut-shaming but also underscores her initiative to re-record her earlier albums to gain ownership of her master recordings.
