    Red was always one of my favorite albums of all time, and I am in awe of the ways TS was able to both capture the magic that made the original so spectacular while also bringing us some truly wonderful vault songs. Brilliant.

    This version of Taylor Swift's Red is actually better than the original
    The first song was not surprising but still diverting.

I didn't mean to read my classmates private information however, it was a good way to know them better since all of us don't interact frequently. I also noticed that all of us has different perceptions on what a good leader must possess. Our social identity is usually influenced by the people who surrounds and our personal relationship with them. The society we live in influences our choices. It generally differs on beliefs, status, and culture. Typically, they are our family, school, and church. They contribute to shape our perceptions of ourselves, our actions, and our sense of self-identity.    … Expand

    Such a good rebuild on the original. Enough new songs to build a whole new album. Better quality songwriting than Taylor Swift doesn't exist!
    So many fantastic melodies! AOTY quality!

    I see the music be stronger, more subtle and mature. RED (Taylor Swift's version) brings a sense of a wonderful symphony of emotions to my ears and my heart.

    This new version is even more incredible than the original. The addition of never heard songs with the same excellent quality as the first ones makes it feel like a whole new album. Her voice is more powerful now so every single song feels more complete and what can I say about the star "All too well"? Better than expected, it feels so personal and raw, like reading her diary.

    THE ALBUM OF THE DECADE. IT DESERVES BETTER RECOGNITION SINCE IT WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 2012. IT IS A TIMELESS MASTERPIECE AND A LIFE-DEFINING PHENOMENON. MOST PROBABLY THE BIGGEST GRAMMY SNUB OF ALL TIME.

    Red (Taylor's Version) is such a MASTERPIECE. For me is even better than the 2012 Red.
    The instrumentals are better and her voice sounds amazing, she is a true artist. All too well (Ten minutes version) is wonderful and the tracks from the vault are a jewel.

    This album is an album you simply cannot beat. The 2012 stolen version was good. It was a god-tier album. But this album? Red (Taylor’s Version)? If something better than perfection existed, this is what it would’ve been called. The re-recorded songs? AMAZING. She went into full detail with each and every one of them and that just shows how much she cares about us, her fans. She alwaysThis album is an album you simply cannot beat.

The re-recorded songs? AMAZING. She went into full detail with each and every one of them and that just shows how much she cares about us, her fans. She always wants to give us everything she can get. Now, the vault tracks? I AM SIMPLY SPEECHLESS. Honestly, we all definitely expected the All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) [Ten Minute Version] to be something unique and unmatched. But this? This is on a whole different level of mastermind. I knew Taylor’s lyricism was developed much more than well enough in 2012, but when I heard ATW10 my heart skipped, what, 13 beats? I couldn’t believe it and I’m still shook, needing about 13 business days to recover from this whole event. The other vault tracks have impeccable tunes and lyrics as well, I loved Forever Winter, The Very First Night, Better Man and Babe particularly much. Thank you so much for pouring your heart into your job (and I know at this point it’s obvious it’s so much more than just a job to you) to make sure we’re happy and satisfied. You’re so so so special to us and we will never ever leave your side. We could stay. … Expand

    Swift strikes brilliance once again with an album that was already amazing back in 2012. Somehow she was able to make it even better.

    Taylor added a lot of interesting material for her fans but nothing really substantial to the concept of the album that plays with a nostalgic realm throughout the tracklist. It just feels a little overfilled. However, it's a consistent album and as usual, Taylor displays an amazing work of her lyrics referencing themselves on multiple songs of the album.

    Swift lays the groundwork of her songs with good chords in Red (Taylor’s Version), but she also enhances the songs’ power with catchy lyrics and melodies (“You fooound me / You fooound me / You fooound me-e-e-e-“).

    Truth is that this is now the definitive version of Red. It may also ensure that the good old boys who casually sold her music, seemingly out of a mixture of greed and spite, won’t get one red cent from Red, and it proves you can take a masterpiece and make it sound even better.

    The highlight of these is a ten-minute version of "All Too Well," a bitter ballad that was already one of the peaks of Red and is now turned into an epic kiss-off. This, along with excavated songs, are reason enough for Swift to revisit Red and they, not the re-recordings, are the reason to return to Red [Taylor's Version].
