    Taylor Swift's new album is truly a work of art, Red (Taylor's Version) is better than Red from 2012.
    Her voice is wonderful. Her voice is wonderful, the mature sound of her voice complements the songs, giving them a warm sound.

    Taylor's best album to date. Can't stop listening! All Too Well (10 min version) has to be the best song ever written.

    Superb relaunch. The re-record ones have a bit of difference and some problems of equalization but nothing that could erase the fantastic work of this compositor. All too Well is a wonder in terms of compostion.

    It’s a masterpiece. Thank you for giving us the original version of all too well. I thought I would be waiting my whole life for this version.

    She took a great album and turned into an EVEN BETTER album. Her wonderful vocals are way stronger than the original version, this just shows how much she’s grown as an artist.

    Pure nostalgia with the endless feeling of being absolutely lost in a mundane in paradise. The album sounds happier than the stolen version and it really reflects where she is now in life, in a much more happier place

    Taylor is and has always been my biggest inspiration. I knew that Red (Taylor’s Version) was going to be phenomenal but I have to say that it is BEYOND ravaging. I am seriously at a loss for words. Moreover, knowing that she finally owns it makes me the happiest. I strongly recommend you to try and give it a listen, also reading the lyrics. Have a great day! ❤️

    Red has always been a fan favourite taylor swift album and it's easy to see why. While the original version had the voice and emotion of a young woman finding her way. This new version not only reclaims her hard work and sacrifices it also has the wisdom of a seasoned professional looking back on her life to a moment where everything was not perfect.

    A true 10/10 is rare but Red was my first. I didn't think it could ever be topped. Musically and lyrically it was revolutionary and was perfect top to bottom. I'll admit I didn't think Taylor would hit it like the original. Not only did she hit the mark, but she also shattered it. The vault tracks are amazing and half of them sound like they are straight from the 1989 vault. The ten-minuteA true 10/10 is rare but Red was my first. I didn't think it could ever be topped.

The ten-minute version of All Too Well is amazing but I'm not going to spoil it as it is an experience that shouldn't be ruined by anyone. Going through the original album, it's clear that Taylor went line-by-line as she did with "Fearless" to improve any way she could. "Girl At Home" has totally new ELVIRA production and "Treacherous" with Taylor's continually improving vocals just help tremendously. This album is insane top to bottom!… Expand

    Like watching the Creation of Adam but it is the creation of an icon.

    The vocals are so much better, she sounds like she is looking back with nostalgia, trying to help the girl she was. The Vault songs fall like pieces into place and it is an amazing body of work!

    And that made me want to die
    The idea you had of me, who was she?
    A never-needy ever lovely jewel whose shine reflects on you Not weeping in a party bathroom Some actress asking me what happened, you, that's what happened, you You who charmed my dad with self-effacing jokes Sipping coffee like you're on a late night show But then he watched me watch the front door all night, willing you to    And that made me want to die

    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].
