How the album -- and its songs -- performed on the charts

When \"Speak Now\" debuted, 11 songs from the album made the Billboard Hot 100 -- the most ever by a female artist at the time.

No songs hit No. 1 on the chart, but \"Mine\" reached the highest spot at No. 3, followed closely behind by \"Back to December,\" which topped out at No. 6, and the title track, which peaked at No. 8.

\"If This Was a Movie,\" one of the songs off the deluxe version that was left off the tracklist for the re-release, climbed to No. 10.

The album \"Speak Now\" spent six weeks in the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart and 186 weeks on the chart in total.

What Swift has said about the \"Speak Now\" re-release

Swift announced \"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)\" when performing in Nashville during her Eras Tour back in May.

\"I always looked at this album as my album, and the lump in my throat expands to a quivering voice as I say this. Thanks to you, dear reader, it finally will be,\" she wrote in a statement posted to Instagram.

Also in the Instagram post, Swift opened up about her experience writing the album between the ages of 18 and 20, saying, \"The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness.\"

\"I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing … and living to speak about it,\" she added.

Swift unveiled the tracklist for \"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)\" in June, revealing that it will feature six songs from the vault in addition to the songs we already know and love.

Better yet, these new tunes will also feature some emo vibes as Fall Out Boy is featured on \"Electric Touch\" and Paramore's Hayley Williams is featured on \"Castles Crumbling.\"

Of collaborating with these artists, Swift said she felt they \"influenced me most powerfully as a lyricist\" at the time of the original \"Speak Now\" release,\" calling them \"cool and generous\" for supporting her on this new version of the album.

The other songs from the vault include \"When Emma Falls in Love,\" \"I Can See You,\" \"Foolish One\" and \"Timeless.\"
