Taylor Swift is set to release an expanded version of her chart-topping album Fearless with six new songs, according to a report on Billboard.com .The Fearless Platinum Edition with the CD/DVD is due on Big Machine Records October 27.
Among the other extras will be Swift’s much-hyped rap music video with T-Pain, “Thug Story” — which aired as a piece of comic relief during the CMT Music Awards in June — and behind-the-scenes photographs from her summer tour taken by her brother.
“The two million-plus fans who bought Fearless within weeks of release last year are screaming for new Taylor music, and Taylor has delivered,” said Big Machine executive Scott Borchetta said in a statement.
Since its November 2008 release, Fearless has sold nearly 4 million copies, according to Nielsen SoundScan. It has also spent 43 weeks on the Billboard 200 — 11 of them at number. 1, the most for any album released this decade.

This is a lame way to trick fans into buying her album, again. If she wants to release new material, she should release a new CD or EP, but not like this.
