Taylor Swift is bumping up the release of what is expected to be one of this fall’s biggest albums, “Red (Taylor’s Version),” by one week, she announced on her social media Thursday.
“Got some news that I think you’re gonna like,” Swift told fans. “My version of ‘Red’ will be out a week earlier than scheduled (including the 4 disc vinyl) on November 12th ! Can’t wait to celebrate the 13th with you and our new/old autumn heartbreak album.”
Getting her “Red” remake to fans a week earlier than previously announced puts the release date within a day’s proximity of her lucky number, 13, as hinted at in the message.
But the shift may also be akin to the reshuffling of blockbuster film release dates that occurs as studios look to avoid having major tentpoles come out at the same time. A glut of superstar product is expected on the weekends before and after Black Friday, and Swift may gain a competitive advantage in making the biggest possible splash with “Red (Taylor’s Version)” by beating the pre-Christmas rush by an extra week.
