Taylor Swift's label has confirmed that the re-recorded version of her 2008 album Fearless (Taylor's Version) will not be submitted for consideration at the next Grammy or CMA Awards.

A representative from Republic Records has revealed to Billboard that Swift's Fearless (Taylor's Version) album will not be submitted for the next Grammy Awards or CMA Awards.

Fearless (Taylor's Version, released in April, is the first of Swift's re-recorded albums from her back catalogue. A re-recorded version of Red is due for release in November.

The Republic Records representative said, "After careful consideration, Taylor Swift will not be submitting Fearless (Taylor’s Version) in any category at this year’s upcoming Grammy and CMA Awards. Fearless has already won four Grammys including album of the year, as well as the CMA Award for album of the year in 2009/2010 and remains the most awarded country album of all time."

Instead, Swift will focus on her December 2020 album Evermore. The album, which was her second surprise album of 2020, will be submitted for consideration in all eligible Grammy categories.

Earlier this month Taylor Swift appeared on Big Red Machine's "Renegade" single. She'll also feature on another song from their How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last? album.
