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

    如此出色的专辑展示了泰勒·斯威夫特在创作歌曲方面的天赋。从纯净的乡村到合成流行音乐，她涉猎的流派不但显示出她作为艺术家的多才多艺，而且似乎还大胆而勇敢。专辑中制作精美的歌曲证明了她在歌曲创作方面的进步；然后在《 All Too Well》中，她释放了迄今为止最好的歌词：作为一个听众，一分钟，您在心碎中哭泣，然后突然，您在那里跳着快节奏的国歌。商业上的成功证明了她令人难以置信的才能。雷德（Red）一定会为她的全部转入流行而感到兴奋，这发生在1989年专辑中。如此出色的专辑展示了泰勒·斯威夫特在创作歌曲方面的天赋。从纯净的乡村到合成流行音乐，她涉猎的流派不但显示出她作为艺术家的多才多艺，而且似乎还大胆而勇敢。专辑中制作精美的歌曲证明了她在歌曲创作方面的进步；然后在《 All Too Well》中，她释放了迄今为止最好的歌词：作为一个听众，一分钟，您在心碎中哭泣，然后突然，您在那里跳着快节奏的国歌。商业上的成功证明了她令人难以置信的才能。雷德（Red）一定会为她的全部转入流行而感到兴奋，这发生在1989年专辑中。

    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.

    RED is such a special album and seeing it on all the "best albums of the 2010s list" confirms that indeed it should have won a Grammy to confirm its artistry.

    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.

    RED is such a beautifully romantic album without going to far into the emo side, just enough to bring out all the raw feelings love and broken heart ignites. A musical masterpiece.

    Swift's country-pop hybrid, Red, has some of her most notable singles and one of her greatest songs (All Too Well.)

    The quintessential heartbreak album from Taylor Swift couldn't be anything short of a masterpiece so it's no surprise that this has already cemented itself as a musical masterpiece and a highlight of Taylor's career.

    "Red" is a perfect album to listen to in the autumn season. Everything is sad, beautiful, tragic.

    Red is a lyrical masterpiece and it perfectly set up her next album. My fav tracks from the album are Red, The Last Time, All To Well, State of Grace, and Holy Ground. The only track I'm not a big fan of is I Knew You Were Trouble only because it didn't age that well besides that okay song and amazing album.

    Swift utilizó su corazón roto para hacer este álbum. Los resultados son muy hermosos, sin duda refleja muy bien las emociones.

    It is amazing to see how far back in her career Taylor hinted everything she would later come to do with her music. She went pop, went Indi folk, and the amazing writing on red stayed permanent for the rest of Swift's career, of course that stayed intact after all she is one of the Greatest songwriters.

    Many thought Red wasn't cohesive enough to win Album of the Year at the 2014 Grammy Awards (it should have won) that was the point of it, Red was a rollercoaster of an album because it mimicked the relationship and state of mind that Taylor was in at the time, perfectly capturing every emotion into a song. I believe that Red is the most important album in her career, become a turning point in Swift's career and life.    … Expand

    Looking at the way Swift think about this album is extremely sad and painful. Red in general talks about the different types of feelings associating with the color red, but Taylor tell this with the mosts heartbroken histories.

    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.

    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.
