From the Vault tracks are

the re-recorded versions of her albums, as well as re-editions of newer albums. The first track released From the Vault was You All Over Me on Fearless (Taylor's Version).[1]

musicologist James E. Perone commented that Fearless transformed her status from a prodigy to a "singer-songwriter superstar".[13] The most-awarded country album in history, it won Album of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, the Country Music Association Awards, and the Grammy Awards.[14][15]

Under Big Machine, Swift released her next four studio albums, from Speak Now (2010) to Reputation (2017).[16] She parted ways with the label after her contract expired in 2018 and thereafter signed a new contract with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group.[17] In 2019, talent manager Scooter Braun and his company Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine Records. The masters of Swift's Big Machine-released albums, including Fearless, were effectively transferred to Braun.[18] Swift publicly denounced the purchase and began re-recording her first six studio albums, including Fearless, in November 2020.[19] By re-recording her catalog, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, including the copyright licensing of her songs, which devalued the Big Machine-owned masters.[20] On February 11, 2021, she announced on Good Morning America that she would release the re-recording of Fearless, to which she added the subtitle Taylor's Version, as the first in the series of her re-recorded albums.[21] In addition to that, her re-recorded albums would contain tracks that did not make it into the original albums, captioned as "From the Vault".[22]
