Released in 2008, when she was 18, the record captures her arrival at true superstardom; it sold more than 10 million copies and spun off her first top 10 pop hit in the Romeo and Juliet-themed “Love Story.” Now Swift, 31 and on her fourth full-length in less than two years, has returned to the album as the first installment in her much-discussed plan to rerecord her six earliest studio LPs following Scooter Braun’s 2019 purchase of her old label Big Machine. (The music exec, known among other things for his onetime work with Swift’s nemesis Kanye West, last year sold Big Machine — and along with it the singer’s master recordings — to a Westwood-based investment fund for more than $300 million.)
