    Quite possibly the single most overrated album on metacritic. Absolutely does not deserve to be rated above 90 with other uniquely impressive and artistic albums.

    This is no longer creativity, but terrible commerce. The songs sound absolutely irrelevant for 2021.

    The original album felt more authentic. Now it’s just a messy repackaged compilation of 30 tracks just to pull streaming numbers. Also, Taylor is truly an expert at milking past relationships, even from years ago… Imagine writing a 10 minute song, + numerous versions of it AND a short film (!)… about an ex-boyfriend from 10 years ago! Obsessive behaviour honestly!

    Taylor do the same thing to not lose the attention of public, with a flood of 3 albuns in a year she shows how desesperate she is.

    Sorry but it’s really bad, why she can’t do something new???? She should create new songs not the same

    Way too over hyped. Definitely much better than the first, not very impressed. It feels like the hype is not because of the music but because it’s hers.

    this album is so bad. it’s a weird mess. it’s not pleasant to listen to. the only listenable song is FOR FREE. she tried so hard to create something extraordinary but the only extraordinary thing about this album is how extra bad it is. worst album i’ve ever listened to

    Taylor wanted to make a recording of her album but she was far from overcoming it or doing better, her voice is forced and without the intention of doing it well, just scoring by the numbers which is sad because it only shows how desperate she is, she couldn't even do it. listen to this full album. Taylor needs to speak to her fandom and stop victimizing her and throwing hatred at her fr ex's.

    Terrible production and voice choices. I don't know what's the point of these re-recordings other than making money for her. She has become the EA Games of the music industry with these different versions it is sad to see.

    Still trying to pass for the "Wrongful Girl", Taylor Swift once again brings an unnecessary remake of what is one of the best albums of her monotonous career.

"Red" is a great album, and it worked really well in 2012 on its original release seamlessly blending quality country music with beautifully crafted pop, but now "Red (Taylor's Version)" brings something that boring with nothing to add and still wanting to appear that the author is not going through a good situation. Her great notable heartache is a matter of a few million dollars from her old record label, but in a process that was never fully explained, the princess girl with big blonde hair decided to go public and say that she was not satisfied with the proposal of her music catalog which is now with the past label, but we all know she has enough money to buy the label if she wanted to. But I'm not going to go into these monetary details... Unfortunately she will continue this wave of re-recording your albums with your own versions, just for the extra power, which was never taken from her hands.… Expand

    She needs to focus on creating new, more versatile music. She refuses to step out of her comfort zone so much that she need to re record her old music. I understand her vocal abilities are very limited, but creatively she’s stuck in the past, she’s no longer a teenager and all her music sounds the same.

    Tired. Juvinelle. Petty. Grow up. Evolve. Move on. This is an example of her one note ability to do little more than rewrite the same version of childish bitter prose - no one more vindicating than its former.

    Uninspired. Carried by a few features. All To Well wasnt original or revolutionary, it was self indulgent and cloying. Lyricism attempts grandeur but falls disappointingly flat in that it is more focused on flowery verbiage than it is on conceptual depth or value. Was already not a big fan of Taylors vocals but decided to give this a chance and wish i hadn't to be completely honest. VeryUninspired. Carried by a few features.

    Boring, overrated, and BAD !
    This album gets a lot of praise when it’s not even that good ! It has 30 tracks and every track was 4+ min long and included a 10min song which made it more boring than it already is! There is no vocal techniques no excitement it’s just as boring as the rest of her albums she should’ve just unrereleased it to save our ears and mental health

    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].
