Worldwide superstar, Taylor Swift has released her re-recorded album 'Red Taylors Version' as fans around the world share their reactions.
Originally released in 2012, the Grammy winner artist chose to re-record her first six albums after the master recordings were brought by talent manager Scooter Braun, much to Taylor's disapproval.
By creating and releasing the re-recorded albums, the superstar can regain ownership of the music.
