In 2021, Taylor Swift began releasing re-records of her older music in order to regain their ownership rights. Red (Taylor's Version) became her 10th album to reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
In July 2020, Swift surprise-released "Folklore," written and produced entirely in quarantine. It was the year's first album to sell 1 million units. In December, she surprise-released "Evermore."
Following the Covid-19 outbreak, Swift canceled all her 2020 tour dates, with plans to reschedule some for 2021.
Swift has leveraged her fame to encourage political action, asking fans to support the Equality Act with her 2019 single "You Need To Calm Down."
