    Taylor se lució, su versión de Red supera sin igual a su lanzamiento original en el 2012, su voz suena menos procesada y más natural, lo que le da más fuerza a cada canción. La versión de diez minutos de All Too Well es indiscutiblemente una joya.

    Álbum perfeito. Taylor Swift nos transporta novamente a uma fase nostálgica, nos fazendo reviver sentimentos conflitantes e angustiantes, sendo crua e o mais sincera possíveis em cada uma de suas confissões em letras que mais parecem cartas poéticas. O RED (Taylor's Version) é uma obra de arte moderna.

    She just keep making her older albums better and better with the rerecordings, this is insane if Red was a 9.5/10 for me before it's now a SOLID 10/10 and there is no other right opinion!

    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.

    Taylor can age like wine. She is an incredible artist and "Red (TV)" is proving that. An extra highlight is the 10 min long "All too well" as a closing track. No one can bring her down!

    Uninspired. Carried by a few features. All To Well wasnt original or revolutionary, it was self indulgent and cloying. Lyricism attempts grandeur but falls disappointingly flat in that it is more focused on flowery verbiage than it is on conceptual depth or value. Was already not a big fan of Taylors vocals but decided to give this a chance and wish i hadn't to be completely honest. VeryUninspired. Carried by a few features.

    This album gets a lot of praise when it’s not even that good ! It has 30 tracks and every track was 4+ min long and included a 10min song which made it more boring than it already is! There is no vocal techniques no excitement it’s just as boring as the rest of her albums she should’ve just unrereleased it to save our ears and mental health

    To Expand on RED seemed to be a great challenge for any artist however Taylor is not just any artist Taylor's version just blew the doors off the original Red release and her royalties did not go to Scooter Braun.
    Remaking music to avoid copyright/publishing issues has to be the most heartwrenching effort but she also added vault tracks with a 10-minute rendition of All Too Well. A Home Run!

    I only jumped on board the Taylor train when she (or rather when Ryan Adams) brought out "1989". I missed "Red" the first time it came out so this version is my first time hearing the record. I'm not comparing versions. As an album, it is a long one and to be honest I probably need to listen to it a few more times to truly get into it.

As an album, it is a long one and to be honest I probably need to listen to it a few more times to truly get into it. Early days, I'm hearing a really good pop album that could possibly do with some trimming down. While there are certainly no throwaway tracks on the album, I would argue that "Red" lacks the killer instinct in terms of songwriting that Swift would develop later in her career. I have a feeling I will get more into this the more I listen to it but for now it doesn't get near my top 3 TS albums.… Expand

    “RIP me. I died, dead” - basically my reaction to Red (Taylor’s Version).

    My only critique of this record is that the production on *some* of the older songs seems a little too reverb-soaked. However, this is a PERFECT album otherwise.

However, this is a PERFECT album otherwise. The new “from the vault” songs are absolutely fantastic!! “Better Man” and “Nothing New” and “I Bet You Think About Me” are as good as any songs she has ever written. The inclusion of Phoebe Bridgers on “Nothing New” is a really wonderful decision because it helps the themes of the song hit even harder (the relevance of artists throughout time). “Better Man” is a poignant and powerful anthem for anyone who has ever fallen in love with someone who wasn’t right for them, or someone who wasn’t healthy for them.

    “I Bet You Think About Me” is an outstanding and earnest display from country Taylor. Chris Stapleton’s harmonies add a gorgeous layer of warmth to Taylor’s main vocal melodies and the song has a ton of heart and longing. “Message In A Bottle” feels like one of Taylor’s first-ever steps into full pop music and it has a delightfully light and upbeat energy, while still retaining a core of genuine emotional resonance. It’s a hint at the pop greatness that would come with 1989.

    “Forever Winter” has some beautiful horn lines and gorgeously expressive vocals from Swift. Ed Sheeran and Swift craft some stunningly sweet vocal harmonies on “Run,” while Swift’s version of “Babe” proves that it should have been her own song all along. And then there’s the behemoth “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” a true masterwork of a song (it’s really more of a short story or an emotive tone poem) which further cements Swift’s place in the very top echelon of popular songwriters. The song is like a heartbreaking novel packed into the framework of a long, meandering path of dreamy pop music. The gentle guitars twist around Swift’s voice and lyrics like a steady stream of water, showcasing her confessional lyricism and making a case for Swift as being one of the all-time greatest storytellers in music. Its passion and artistry are raw and timeless.

    This version of Red seems to be more self-aware, somehow pulling all the disparate influences present on the record together in a way which highlights the versatility and greatness of the one and only Taylor Swift. Highly recommend this album!!! :)    … Expand

    This version of Red is sharper, grander and more intriguing somehow that the original. Even if it is almost ten years old, the songs of this album (as well as in Fearless) don't loose any steam by the pass of time. Also, it was worth the wait for the 10 minute version of all to well, which is, unsurprisingly, the best song on the album.

    OMG! The album is really good, a touch of fresh air to the old RED (2012), the slight changes made old songs sound totally new and the songs from the vault are beautiful, thanks to the re-recordings we can notice the maturation of Taylor's voice, in this case prioritizing his own style and voice over the instrumental and forcing his voice as in the past RED.

All of the tracks sound so current and the Vault tracks are simply outstanding! The 10 Minute Version of All Too Well is one of those songs where although it is long you don't want it to end and you don't realise that you've spent ten minutes listening to one song. And like Fearless, the maturity in Taylor's voice gives a different listening experience to the 2012 version. My favourites are Sad, Beautiful, Tragic (Taylor's Version), The Moment I Knew (Taylor's Version), Run (Taylor's Version) and All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version).

    Red 2012 is Taylor's original critic's darling so I had very high expectations for the Red Taylor's Version. Somehow she exceeded all of my impossibly high expectations. Almost all the songs are clearly improved. A couple are on par with the original. The 10 min All too well is just absolute perfection. Gave me an out of body experience.

    RED aged like a good wine, the original work was already something cohesive and magnificent but this reissue with new songs and the mature voice of Miss Swift make it a journey unbridled by various feelings that surround love, only she could make the album of the year with a re-recorded album.

    Hearing this album again after years of its official release brings me so many memories and good feelings, and now even more with the release of so many masterpieces that should never have been left out of the album. Thanks for that, Taylor!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is such a fast grower once you take it all in calmly. At first, it can be overwhelming. There are 21 tracks and by the end, for me upon first listen, songs blurred together, becoming monotonous, but that is a very wrong impression of what the album is like. My advice is to take the time to listen to and appreciate each song individually.… Expand

    Taylor has done it again; taking her original album and improving upon it with her maturer, stronger, and cleaner vocals and the addition of new songs.

The "from the Vault" songs are all very well written and my favorites are Message in a Bottle, All Too Well" (10 minute version), Forever Winter, Nothing New, and Better Man but I honestly love them all. The production is excellent; very crisp and clean. Also the message from Taylor on the Apple Music version was cool and sweet. Another A+ album from Taylor Swift and one of my favorite albums of the year.… Expand

    This new version is even more incredible than the original. The addition of never heard songs with the same excellent quality as the first ones makes it feel like a whole new album. Her voice is more powerful now so every single song feels more complete and what can I say about the star "All too well"? Better than expected, it feels so personal and raw, like reading her diary.

    It was literally an upgrade from her previous version. All the hype, promos and expectations are worth the wait, and even exceeded because of Taylor's strong vocals and songwriting. I love all the vault tracks, it's like I time travelled from way back when the album was first released. I'm so happy that I get to experience this era once again, now in a more powerful and relevant approach.

    As in Fearless (Taylor's version), Taylor's vocal growth and increased awareness of who she is and what she can do, gave her old songs a new life. They're even better of the original ones!
    Plus, the new tracks fits perfectly the album style and concept.
    Special mention to All too well (10 mins version), the emotional climax of the entire album.

    I am just so blown away by Red (Taylor’s Version). If you thought Fearless (Taylor’s Version) was good, buckle up because something about Red TV is even more magical. Not only are the re-recordings all splendid, all of the vault songs are also so good. With Fearless, maybe a couple seemed a bit out of place but in Red they all fit in, since Red was already a mix of calmer acoustic songs (Sad Beautiful Tragic) and hyper synth-heavy tracks (22). Like in Fearless TV, Taylor Swift’s songs are taken to the next level and all of them are improvements (some exceedingly so) over their predecessors. Even though most of the songs featured here are nine years old, they still retain the punch that they had back at the initial release. Some songs I was able to appreciate more this time around, especially due to the substantial improvements made across the board. I think the thing that most stood out to me was the improved mixing of the album. The whole thing felt more balanced and even the distorted synths or guitars felt more natural than they did back in the original album.

    Due to the character limit I have to omit my song-by-song commentary, which is infuriating because I have a lot to say about each track.

    Overall, I can confidently say that Red (Taylor’s Version) is her best work (so far, we’ve still got several Taylor’s Versions to go). She takes an album that was already really good and just pushes it to 11. I’m not sure how she did it, but even some of the songs that I wasn’t crazy about the first time around made deep impressions on me in this version. The newly released songs are all powerful, poppy, and totally Taylor, and it blows my mind that these didn’t make the original cut of the album. Regardless of why they didn’t, I am so glad that I am able to enjoy them now. Fans of the original will love this re-release as it is everything the original was and more. I also encourage everyone who loves music to listen to Red Taylor's Version because it truly is a work of art and one of the very best albums I have reviewed. I cannot wait for more Taylor's Versions to come out, but until then Fearless and Red were both knockouts. Highlights: State Of Grace, Red, Treacherous, I Knew You Were Trouble, All Too Well (Both), 22, I Almost Do, We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Stay Stay Stay, The Last Time, Holy Ground, The Lucky One, Everything Has Changed, Starlight, Begin Again, The Moment I Knew, Come Back...Be Here, Girl At Home, Ronan, Better Man, Nothing New, Babe, Message In A Bottle, I Bet You Think About Me, Forever Winter, and The Very First Night (just go listen to the whole album).    … Expand

Ao renovar suas produções, Taylor Swift consegue superar o original em vários aspectos.
    Ao enriquecer músicas já conhecidas, novas com produções assinadas por Elvira, Shellback e os já conhecidos, Jack Antonoff e Aaron Dessner, é possível perceber o quanto "Red", "The Moment I Knew" , 22" e pasmem, "Girl At Home" — essa que sofreu uma mudança enorme nas mãos de Elvira, virando agora uma faixa pop (que é bem melhor que a orignal) — foram aprimoradas, não só elas, mas o álbum como um todo.
    Além de sua voz angelical, Swift ainda arrisca 9 faixas "From The Vault" que são um prato cheio! "Better Man" e "Babe" finalmente ganharam suas versões solo, assim como a mais pedida dos fãs, "All Too Well (Ten Minute Version)". A aguarda produção, tem Jack Antonoff encarregado de repaginar o clássico da discografia, papel esse que desempenha com maestria. A versão de 10 minutos é cheia de subcamadas de áudio, além da canetada render grandes momentos de choque quanto atitude de Jake. "He said it's supposed to be fun turning 21".
    Outro grande destaque do cofre do "RED" é "The Very First Night", um popzão bem gostoso como muitos pop fãs pediram e assim. cumprindo a proposta de ser um álbum pop-country.
    Ademais, "RED (Taylor's Version)" é o grandioso encontro de qualidade e quantidade, as 30 músicas passam como um estalar de dedos. Um álbum para ouvir as músicas diversas vezes.    … Expand

    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].
