Taylor Swift is set to perform at the 63rd annual Grammy Awards on Sunday, just weeks after announcing the re-release of her first number one, breakthrough album Fearless.

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will be released in its entirety on 9 April and includes updated versions of the original recordings. The lead single, Love Story, has been available for download since 11 February. The album will also include six bonus tracks that didn’t make it on to the original record at the time.

The album comes almost two years after Taylor Swift promised to re-record her old music. She made the decision after Scooter Braun’s Ithaca Holdings acquired the Big Machine Label Group, which owns the masters of her previous records.
