Taylor Swift’s next studio album revealed after her tenth release Midnights broke records
SHE is the biggest pop star on the planet, riding high after a massive 2022.
But Taylor Swift isn’t resting on her laurels and simply celebrating the record-breaking success of her tenth album Midnights.
I can reveal she is set to prove she is the hardest working person in the industry once again by releasing her reworked third album Speak Now in the coming months.
The collection originally dropped in 2010, peaking at No6 in our charts.
The release is part of Taylor re-recording her back catalogue, a play she put in place after having had her first six albums sold from under her in 2019.
A source said: “Speak Now looks set to be the next album in the ‘Taylor’s Version’ series.

“Taylor has quietly been in the studio working on remaking both Speak Now and 1989. All details are still being ironed out but Speak Now Taylor’s Version should be out within the next couple of months, before she kicks off her Eras world tour.
“Many other artists would have paused to enjoy the success she has seen with Midnights but Taylor is super focused and works around the clock for her fans.”
She has already topped the charts with the two re-recorded albums she has released so farm — Fearless and Red.
Despite keeping a low profile during the majority of 2022, Taylor ended this year more successful than ever.

Kojey Radical is eyeing up a move to Hollywood.
The rapper, who is putting his music career on ice, explained in an exclusive chat: “There’s so many things I’ve managed to tap into creatively.
“I got into music by accident and we’ve got this far. There’s so much more that can be done. I’d love to get into acting. What I really want is to get a voice acting job in a Disney cartoon . I’d love to be Groot or something. If they do Incredibles 3, they should shout me.”
But it doesn’t sound like new music will come any time soon.
Kojey said: “I don’t want to make music if I ain’t got nothing to say. Then it becomes disingenuous.
“I would be never put something out for the sake of it. I have to have something to say and something I believe in.”
Derm rings the changes
PUTTING pen to paper to create hit songs has turned out nicely for Dermot Kennedy, who has two No1 albums under his belt.
Now he is planning to use his writing skills for an even bigger project – penning a Lord Of The Rings-style fantasy epic.
The Irish singer-songwriter, above, said: “I’d love to write a book.
“It wouldn’t be about me. I’d love to go and live in a different world for a bit.
“It’d be Hobbity, I imagine. That’s where I started. Those are the books I fell in love with as a kid.
“I love the idea of Tolkien – like, not even being here and spending all of his time in that world.”
It could be an alternative source of income for the Kiss Me singer, who will perform in New York this summer but reckons acts like him are now struggling to make a profit from touring the US.
He said on the Straight Up podcast: “I’m playing Madison Square Garden in June and I swear there’s no money to be made.
“It’s, like, 14,000 people. In the grand scheme of things, to tour America is just stupidly expensive.
“At Radio City Music Hall, the last show we played, I think it’s like $75,000 just to be allowed to play a show in the room.
“There’s so many tours I’ve done where you’re like, ‘That was great’, but when you come away from touring for six months, you go, ‘Wow, I essentially made no money.’”
Liam leaves hint for fans

She’s announced new single Flowers will drop on January 13, which happens to be her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s birthday.
Posting a teaser online, Miley chants: “I can love me better.”
Call me a cynic, but the lyrics sound a little too pointed for this to be a coincidence…
Una New Year
Una Healy shines bright like a diamond to celebrate the New Year, which is handy, as The Saturdays singer has revealed she is relying on shiny rocks to bring her luck in 2023.
The singer tolf me "I've just got into crystals.
"I have one to look for love and another one which is supposed to protect you against negative energy.
"This year I would love to do something with the girls again. I feel like the time is right."
She's not the only one who's made a New Years resolution.
But Yungblud's is perhaps a little more achievable.
He told me: "Mine is to get back to Doncaster as often as I can. I love Donny
"I love my local Chip shop. I really miss it. I travel all over the world but I miss my fish and chips.
"I pack my suitcase with chocolate hobnobs, Wotsits and Yorkshire tea.
"I live off Wotsit sandwiches when I'm wide-awake jetlagged somewhere.

Teddy's dyslexic like dad Robbie
Robbie Williams has revealed his eldest daughter Teddy has dyslexia.
The Lost singer told his fans he had also been diagnosed with the condition in 2020 and said he struggles with numbers.
In a candid new interview, Robbie said he was supporting Teddy, ten, through the diagnosis.
The dad-of-four explained: “My older daughter suffers from dyslexia, just like me.
“When I was growing up in Stoke-on-Trent in the Eighties, however, dyslexia was still a completely unknown diagnosis.
“I have to explain to her what dyslexia is, what it means for people, how to deal with it. And that if you suffer from it, you’re not automatically stupid.”
Speaking to In Galore Magazine, out now, Robbie said Teddy had been struggling.
He added: “The other thing, one of her friends decided overnight that she didn’t want anything to do with her any more.
“Teddy was devastated, completely desperate.
“I tried to make it clear to her that sometimes you just have to let other people go, that you should let them go – but without sacrificing your own self-esteem in the process.
