    Some odd production in the new versions, but still as affecting and endearing as when it first came out.

    Needless. An album extremely long and tiresome. All Too Well (10 minute version) is an exception: an excellent music

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As músicas para o gênero pop são perfeitas e maravilhosas já as Country deixa um pouco a desejar e fica na mesmice!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This better than the stolen version, especially the vault tracks. There's no skip in sight, all masterpieces who deserves to be in the regular album tbh… Expand

    Taylor added a lot of interesting material for her fans but nothing really substantial to the concept of the album that plays with a nostalgic realm throughout the tracklist. It just feels a little overfilled. However, it's a consistent album and as usual, Taylor displays an amazing work of her lyrics referencing themselves on multiple songs of the album.

    It’s not a bad album, but it’s definitely not deserving of a score over 85, and it’s definitely not better than Folklore. Way too overhyped.

    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].
