    This is solely one of her most anticipated re-recording album. Every song in the album speaks for itself. The album as a whole is beautifully done and with her speciality of writing songs, once again she has proven herself as the best.

    Outdid the original one from 2012. Didn't feel like it's 2 hours long. The vault tracks are surprisingly very good. Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers & Chris Stapleton were excellent. The 10 minute version of All too Well didn't feel like 10 minutes. Kudos for that. Song Ratings:-

    Taylor can really put all 30 songs in an album including the b sides & vault tracks yet all of them fit together like a standard album. Red (Taylor's Version) will always be known as one of the break-up anthem album ever made that will go down in history books. Just impressive.

    The vault tracks, especially All Too Well (10-minute version) only add to an already perfect set of songs. The production is so much richer and Taylor Swift delivers stronger emotion through her voice.

    Absolutely fantastic recreation of one of her best albums. The vault tracks all add to the story that the album tells, and the 10 minute version of All Too Well is essentially poetry set to music. The new versions of Begin Again, Sad Beautiful Tragic, Treacherous, and The Moment I Knew are even better than the originals, and Nothing New and Forever Winter are major standouts from the vaultAbsolutely fantastic recreation of one of her best albums.

    I was 12 when this album came out. Now I'm 22 and depressed but the 10 minutes All too well was all I needed to keep me going :'). The album was already amazing but Taylor's version is just perfection. I'm genuinely in awe of how huge of a star she's become.

The Vault Tracks are all incredible. 10/10.… Expand

The [From The Vault] tracks add an incredible touch to the legendary album, only increasing its quality and good content. The highlights for me were Everything Has Changed (feat. Ed Sheeran) and Better Man (a song written by Taylor but originally released by the country group Little Big Town). The original songs were amazing already, but with the new production and instrumentals the songs turned up to be even better. In overall all the songs really pleased me, All Too Well (10 Minutes Version) made the classic song even more sad and heartbreaking. In conclusion, this release only shows how big Taylor Swift's artistry is.… Expand

    The anxiety in the love of a young woman in her twenties is expanded through new songs. At the same time, it also shows us how she feels when she thinks about the person she loves. With a voice that has matured over the years, showing strength beyond a broken heart because she knew how to play it right and real.

    I remember my initial listening to RED, all too well back in 2014, I wasn't a religious swiftie back in 2012. Also remember reading various sources regarding All too well being 24 mins. Long & stuffs bit I never thought it would be more than fever dream of an opportunity to actually listen to the 10 mins. And explicit version of it with grown-up matured vocals.

    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].
