Taylor Swift confirmed for Melbourne Cup performance

Taylor Swift is heading back to Australia!

The Victoria Racing Club (VRC) has confirmed that Swift will perform at the Melbourne Cup on Tuesday, November 5, 2019. In a press release issued Thursday, the VRC said that Swift will sing two of her latest hits in the Mounting Yard.

The gig marks Taylor's only public performance in Australia following the release of her global smash hit album, Lover

Lover, Swift's seventh studio alum, is Australia's highest-selling album of 2019 and achieved the highest first-week sales in Australia since her previous album, 2017's Reputation.

Swift's Melbourne Cup appearance announcement comes after as she announced plans to re-record all her early songs from when she was signed to Big Machine Records.

"That's true and it's something that I'm very excited about doing," Swift told Good Morning America in August. The label was recently purchased by celebrity manager/entrepreneur Scooter Braun, and she reportedly wasn't given an opportunity to outright purchase her recording masters.

Now signed to Republic Records, she owns the rights to her music going forward.

"My contract says that starting November 2020 — so next year — I can record albums one through five all over again.
