    I think the most important thing that makes Taylor Swift`s records valuable is her sincerity about personal experiences and staying true to her path in songwriting.
    Taylor,Keep on,Many are behind you,following you

    Red is Taylor's best album yet. The singer-songwriter manages to blend her signature country twang to a multitude of other genres, like U2's arena rock, or Ed Sheeran's acoustic folk. Her lyricism is also top-notch, and the songs are incredibly catchy. However there are a few filler tracks like I Almost Do, or The Last Time, that should have not made it into the final cut.

    while Speak Now was urgent, sparkling and occasionally too hectic, Red is breezy, warm and satisfying

    perhaps the biggest standout on this record (other than "State of Grace," of course) is the country-infused power pop stomper "Holy Ground," which provides the listener with some of Swift's best lyrics and most soaring harmonies thus far, all over pounding beats

    its far from a masterpiece, but swift really knows hot to create a catchy tune. this was before she went 100% pop, so there is still a little bit of emotion in this record, and it really works out for her.

    Another record that proves that not only Ms. Swift is a legendary lyricist, but is also one that's able to reach different types of audience and speak for them in a way that Taylor Swift can only do. Red is an emotional roller coaster that brings you into it's dark, glamouring and sad world that leaves you feeling Red, which is Taylor's main goal.

    Like all Taylor Swift albums, they are made to perfection with such finesse. This album remains Swift's most subtle yet bold album which projected her into worldwide stardom. The album is filled with tracks that have now become Swift's signature songs.

    Esta mujer es el ejemplo perfecto de artista completa: toca instrumentos, compone su propia música, escribe sus letras (muy personales, haciendo que conectes con ella de una manera muy cercana porque sabes que es real), tiene una buena imagen (gustos personales aparte) y combina la dosis perfecta de comercialismo y genuinidad.

De esta unión con los productores nace también ‘I Knew You Were Trouble’, con un lamentable amago dubstep que termina dejando el tema en manos de una Taylor Swift tan Disney que hasta a Selena Gomez el tema le sonaría infantil.

Criado como um disco de experimentações, a própria cantora o descreve como uma “colcha de retalhos” na qual ela pôde trabalhar com colaboradores diferentes dos quais costumava, como Max Martin e Shellback. Segundo Taylor, compor a faixa-título foi primordial ao projeto, pois a fez descartar tudo o que tinha feito até então e recomeçar as gravações do zero. Ela diz que resolveu dar este nome ao álbum porque “quando você se apaixona, tudo acontece tão rápido e fica fora de controle e há um monte de sentimentos que se misturam, como paixão, alegria, ciúmes, frustração, falta de comunicação e várias outras emoções que, em sua mente, são todas da cor vermelha”. O carro-chefe do álbum, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, e o terceiro single, “I Knew You Were Trouble”, tornaram-se grandes sucessos da música pop e foram também as primeiras faixas de Taylor a figurarem o topo da Hot 100, maior parada musical do mundo. “Red” foi o segundo disco de Taylor a ser indicado à Álbum do Ano na premiação mais importante da indústria musical, o GRAMMY.… Expand

I have listened to the whole album and this album actually has a more Country Rock feel to it rather than her usual Country Pop sound. This is the most mature album of her career and its worth every penny. I have to give Taylor credit for this album, she has grown and mastered the art of being a true artist. Taylor has a mix of Country, Pop, and Rock songs but that doesn't mean she's left her County roots. Songs like "Stay Stay Stay," "I Almost Do," and "Begin Again" remind us why Taylor is wining in the Country World right now.… Expand

All Too Well alone makes the album a 10/10 a song that whose production, song writing, and vocals that has made this song Swift's best song ever. With Songs like State of Grace, Red, Treacherous, I Almost Do, Holy Ground, and Begin Again, The Academy clearly made a mistake in their decision that any listener that has an ounce of taste should be disappointed with.… Expand

    Этот альбом - улучшенная версия предыдущего, однако он нам дает понять, что Тейлор и кантри нам можно больше не ждать. Все те же любовные текста, но на этом альбоме видно, что Свифт мастер в этом.

    Not sonically cohesive (as the singer herself says) but the best and well-executed body of work that really represents Taylor. She can go from catch-pop bops to melancholic country songs. The best “testing the water” work in the industry. Not a surprise that it’s one of the best of the decade.

I found out a lot about who I was during the few years until Taylor’s next project would drop, and RED was my steadfast companion on that journey. (I remember listening to it during PE’s hellish 2-mile runs, Taylor’s poppiest-country-album to-date cheering me on all the way until the color of my face matched the title of this album.)
    Taylor’s songwriting on this album continues to impress, with tracks like State of Grace, All Too Well, I Almost Do, The Last Time, Holy Ground, and The Lucky One being my major standouts, in this regard.
    I’ve seen fans state that RED is a fall-time album, and I think that I would agree. There’s a coziness about this album that makes you want to curl up in front of a fireplace with a blanket, a cup of tea, and some knitting needles as Taylor serenades you with some of her most well-written songs to-date.    … Expand

    'Red' (2012), de Taylor Swift, é o 4º disco de estúdio da cantora e marca uma transição do country para, de fato, se consagrar como uma pop-star. 'Red' fala sobre amores, perdas, é vivo e delicado. Com certeza é o álbum mais profundo e coeso da discografia de Swift. Um Country-Rock, com algumas batidas pop em canções como "22" e "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". No geral, é um'Red' (2012), de Taylor Swift, é o 4º disco de estúdio da cantora e marca uma transição do country para, de fato, se consagrar como uma pop-star.

Um Country-Rock, com algumas batidas pop em canções como "22" e "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". No geral, é um álbum intenso e cheio de paixões.
    "State of Grace", abre o álbum de uma forma tão apaixonante, intensa e verdadeira, que você sente a música correndo em suas veias. "Love is a ruthless game. Unless you play it good and right." (ela canta em 'State of Grace', abrindo alas para o que virá dizer o álbum). 'Treacherous' é uma canção que começa de um jeito suave, e que revela uma ponte estrondosa. Talvez seja uma das músicas mais grandiosas do álbum.
    'Holy Ground' e 'The Last TIme' possuem uma pegada mais lenta, e que revelam a capacidade de escrita de Taylor Swift. Este álbum, de maneira geral, conta várias histórias que se conectam. Mostra o quão ótima compositora Swift é. 'Begin Again' talvez seja a música com mais cara de country no álbum, possui uma pegada suave e apaixonante.
    Mas nenhuma dessas canções conseguem contar histórias de uma forma tão perfeita e coesa quanto 'All Too Well', e 'The Moment I Knew'. Ambas essas canções, falam sobre o mesmo relacionamento. A capacidade que Swift tem de fazer recortes e preservar memórias é impressionante. "I walked through the door with you, the air was cold (...) Left my scarf there at your sister's house. And you still got it in you drawer, even now." Esse trecho de 'All Too Well' mostra a memória tão detalhada que Swift possui, e, principalmente, a coragem que ela possui de contar detalhes do relacionamento. "But you keep my old scarf from that very first week. 'Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me. You can't get rid of it, 'cause you remember it all too well." Esses versos mostram como que, por mais que os relacionamentos acabem, existem laços que são muito difíceis de serem quebrados ou esquecidos. E 'Red' faz questão de relembrar cada momento de um relacionamento, fazendo com que os ouvintes se identifiquem com as canções, e consigo visualizar exatamente o que Taylor está tentando contar.    … Expand

    Hearing Taylor Swift sing makes you remember these things, how you can wax poetic one day about the efficacy of love to change lives permanently for the better, and the next rail about how love leads only to pain and heartache.
