Taylor Swift’s re-recording of her album Fearless is on course to top the UK album chart.
The album, titled Fearless (Taylor’s Version), was recorded following a high-profile row over the ownership of her master recordings with prominent talent manager Scooter Braun.
The original album was released in 2008 when Swift was an 18-year-old country music star.
