The new rendition of the song still honors its pop roots while elevating the cinematic element.

A preview of the song was shared earlier this year in the trailer for the animated film \"Spirit Untamed.\"

Upon its original release as a single in 2015, from Swift's \"1989\" album, \"Wildest Dreams\" reached the top five on the Billboard Hot 100 and topped the Billboard Mainstream Top 40.

Swift is getting ready to release the rerecording of \"Red\" on Nov. 19. She released \"Fearless (Taylor's Version)\" in April.
