Big obvious start? The whole video is a shade of burning red, an overt reference to the next chapter in Swift's ambitious quest to revisit, re-record, and re-release her back catalogue and flip the damn bird to Scooter Braun. The first redo was Fearlessin April. In June, Swift announced that her next album re-release, out Nov. 19, will be 2012's Red, which Mashable's Erin Strecker described as "the perfect fall album."
The leaves in the video, people!The leeeeeaves.

Swift's Fearlessre-release included redos of all original tracks alongside some new material in an ongoing rarities series she's calling "From the Vault," so considering the imagery in this video, we can expect some newbies.
We'll get an official announcement, most likely on Swift's social media, of the official track list, but until then, it's just marvelous to see the Swifities work hard to unpack the diabolical riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma that is a Taylor Swift album announcement.
