    COULDN'T BE MORE PERFECT! If RED was already a masterpiece, this, with the improved vocals, new productions and the vault songs, it´s even more than great. What she's doing is so symbollic and it could be a big movement for the artists in the music industry in order to they own their own music.

    this album broke me inside.
    i have never cried to a song before but Ronan did that to me.
    everything on this body of work is better than the original version like a lot.
    this version is how Red really sounds like. i love this album.

    This new version of Red is amazing with Taylor's mature voice, tender but also stronger. With this new version, Red is on a whole new level to be the best autumn album of all time.

    All Too Well (10 minutes version) is the best thing that ever happen in this album and this song is definitely going to win Grammy Song Of The Year if she would submit the song for 2023 grammy.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This version is beyond my understanding! Taylor's vocals are out of this world and the production and mixing of Red TV are extraordinary! Songs, I didn't like before, are now my favourites! The "From The Vault" songs are pure masterpieces! And on top of that, All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault) doesn't feel like it's 10 minutes long and with every next listen, I feel like it shortens itself. It's impressive what Taylor has done to this album and I can gladly say, that it finally sounds like what Taylor could have imagined back in 2011/2012. And lastly, I feel like Red was supposed to sound more pop-ish back then and now it does, finally on Taylor's terms, not BMR's ones. Expand

    It’s very surprising for me cause… I’m Swiftie and you might be thinking right now “well how the hell the re recording of a classic fan favorite album could surprise him”.

But now with the new version, the version Taylor owns once for all and with her musically mature after works like folklore, as Rolling Stone said “Makes a classic even better” and I could not agree more. Now the Taylor’s Version has cleaned and perfectionist the bad things I saw on RED. Thanks Taylor for given to us a better version of something that was actually good. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red is an album that is just as passionate, strong and glamorous as what that color represents, and the re-recording version just added more exhilarating elements into it, which makes this perfect album even perfect-er (Idk how that worked but it just did)!!! With some of the already included tracks being more clear in vocal perspective and more lo-fi in production, which is absolutely awesome, the new added songs are making the sound of this album more colorful and splendid, the heartbroken "Ronan"(R.I.P. beautiful boy), the sassy cowboy I-don't-give-a-f style "I Bet You Think About Me", the regretful and sorrowful I-wish-I-had-saved-him "Forever Winter", the profound thoughts about fame and novelty were given on "Nothing New", while the broken heart was perfectly expressed on the post-break-up tracks like "Better Man" and "Babe"(kudos to the new production of both tracks, amazing!), and tracks like "Message in a Bottle" and "the Very First Night" shine a brighter and pop-er light on the album, and don't get me started on "All Too Well (10 Minute Version", all I can say is that that song is an Arena-Rock Perfection!!!!!!!! One of the best songs in history if I may. So all 30 tracks bring different colors and charisma to this one of the best albums of 21st century, and they all add up to a shinier and prettier color of RED, thank u Taylor for this pop/country/rock perfection!

    Once again, Swift dives into a compelling mayhem of storytelling and heartbreak at its finest. Including new “Vault Tracks” that add even more depth and complexity to Red, this record of heartbreak is an epic journey throughout all 30 songs.

    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].
