    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.

    This album took me to the Fall season where the vibe feels so sad even though i do not live in a country where there's no season like that. It feels like you are on every story of the song she written on the same time. Amazing.

First hitting my eardrums during my freshman year of high school, this album is one I hold close to my heart, along with all of the memories of me during my very long awkward stage.

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.

    '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. '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 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.

While this is Swift's most lyrically mature album, some of the production is lacking and a lot of tracks seem to have pacing issues, but when you find yourself waiting for the next big hit she gives it to you before you decide to take a break from her. Although I enjoyed the stories we are told on this album and I love Swift dabbling in pop, I'm still seeing the same issues she's had on every album beforehand, so I still want to see growth.

Além disso a produção do albúm foi muito bem trabalhada, como se pode ver nas faixas State of Grace e Starlight, e suas notas em We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together e I Knew You Were Trouble estão de parabéns, essas duas músicas se tornaram hits bem memoráveis e que ficam na memória de todos como chiclete, fazendo assim o albúm inteira ficar marcado de trabalho duro e coerência, mais uma vez parabéns a Taylor Swift e sua equipe pelo grande albúm.

There are two songs in this album that have been singles and I used to not like them so much: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and I Knew You Were Trouble.

There are two songs in this album that have been singles and I used to not like them so much: We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together and I Knew You Were Trouble. The melody of these songs used to bother me a little bit, but Taylor made a few changes to them in the 1989 World Tour and I’ve loved those versions. She changed the melody of these songs to a Rock rhythm, with electric guitar and some powerful vocals, which made these songs turn to incredible bops. The rock versions of WANEGBT and IKYWT were brilliantly performed by Taylor and showed how intelligent and versatile she is! She is a music genius and I hope she re-records those songs in that rock version when she is able to re-record the RED album. We’ve also seen her perform Holy Ground in a soft and sweet melody, different to the one she used in the album, and it’s amazing how those 2 versions fit the song. They’re so different, yet they both go well with the lyrics. The RED album has other marvelous songs like Starlight, The Moment I Knew, State of Grace, “Come Back... Be Here” and “22”, which had every girl excited for their 22nd birthday just to blast to “22” and sing it at the top of their lungs. I’m 24 now and I still listen to “22” on my birthday, it’s become kind of a tradition to me. It’s crazy how Taylor and her songs can be so meaningful to us. I must say RED is an 8/10 because it’s a fantastic album, just not my top favorite (it occupies my 3rd position on the podium). It still is one of my favorites tho! I just cherish some other albums that could not have a lower or same rating, but RED is definitely worth your time, attention and money. You’ll not be disappointed. In fact, RED is the album that most of the fans have as their favorite, and I totally get why.

    This is my rank of Taylor’s albums so far:

    1st: Lover & 1989 (I can’t decide between them)
    2nd: Speak Now & reputation (I can’t decide between them as well)
    3rd: RED
    4th: Fearless
    5th: Self-Titled Album (“Taylor Swift”)

    I still don’t know about “folklore”. I have to listen to it more to decide where to put it, but it wouldn’t be in 1st or 2nd place.

    Swift explodes the expectations of anyone preparing to call her music "diaristic," writing songs from different perspectives while putting her already-detailed work under a microscope. ... A content smile of an album on which one of the world's biggest pop stars, charts be damned, forges her own path and dares listeners to come along for the ride.

    This album is perfection! Red pulls all the heartstrings but mend your broken heart back together with its songs. All Too Well, State of Grace, Holy Ground, Treacherous, I Almost Do, and Begin Again all in one album? Definitely heavenly.

    ótimo! um álbum que marca muito a identidade de taylor swift como uma boa compositora e produtora, letras marcadas por metáforas bem pensadas e instrumentais que remetem a fúria e a angústia de swift, apenas acho que tem algumas transições desnecessárias, como 'all too well' para '22', mas isso não altera o resultado final, de um álbum excelente sobre como o amor pode ser uma cicatriz queótimo! um álbum que marca muito a identidade de taylor swift como uma boa compositora e produtora, letras marcadas por metáforas bem pensadas e instrumentais que remetem a fúria e a angústia de swift, apenas acho que tem algumas transições desnecessárias, como 'all too well' para '22', mas isso não altera o resultado final, de um álbum excelente sobre como o amor pode ser uma cicatriz que nunca se fecha, mas também, como pode te elevar a epifania Expand

    RED is magical. RED is painful. RED is gorgeous. RED is my way to escapism.

    The crowning jewel of her entire discography, a beautiful album combining various elements to create soft ballads that are beautiful and emotional, to pop bops you can dance to!

    Canciones muy aburridas letras que hablan de amor como casi toda su música y ritmos poco buenos no me gusto nada

    The artistry of Taylor Swift seems to shift into a new but just as wonderful work of art with each of her album and Red is a landmark statement for her evolution.

    Some consider this Taylor's best album and while it's very difficult to make such assessment on her body of work it's definitely a very strong contender for the title.

    A breathtakingly beautiful album diving straight into the facets of love, exquisitely painted in colors and emotions that Taylor seems to see more poetically than the rest of us.

    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.
  2. I like the feisty ones, as I generally do. But "Begin Again" and especially "Stay Stay Stay" stay happy and hit just as hard.

    More varied in its offerings, but also more disjointed than her previous work, Red sounds like a transitional album for Swift.
