In June 2018, Swift gifted “Babe” to Sugarland but opted to keep herself as a featured artist on the single, lending background vocals and starring in the duo’s music video as “the other woman.” Both Versions Of “Better Man” Swift ended up winning the Country Music Award for Song of the Year for writing it and earning a Grammy nom for Best Country Song in the process. In 2016, Swift gave “Better Man” to Little Big Town, who recorded it as the lead single of their 2017 album The Breaker. Neither song made the original Red album, but years later, Swift decided that if they couldn’t be on her album, they could still go to other artists. Swift co-wrote “Babe” with Train lead singer Pat Monahan, and she penned “Better Man” by herself. If you couldn’t tell from their inclusion on Red (Taylor’s Version), “Better Man” and “Babe” were written sometime in 2011 or 2012. That’s because you’ve likely already heard them - they just weren’t sung by Swift. However, Swift’s new vault songs “Better Man” and “Babe” may sound familiar to some fans. Similar to the re-recording of her sophomore album Fearless, Red (Taylor’s Version) includes nine new “From the Vault” songs that were written during the original recording sessions but never officially released. Taylor Swift’s new album Red (Taylor’s Version), the re-recording of her Grammy-nominated 2012 album, doesn’t just include fresh takes on the hits you know and love.
