Red (Taylor's Version) is the second re-recorded album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on November 12, 2021, through Republic Records. It is a re-recording of Swift's fourth studio album, Red (2012), following her first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor's Version), which was released in April 2021. The re-recording venture is Swift's countermeasure against the changed ownership of the masters to her first six studio albums.

The album encompasses re-recorded versions of 20 songs from the Red deluxe edition and Swift's 2012 charity single "Ronan"; the 10-minute-long, unabridged version of "All Too Well"; Swift's own recordings of "Better Man" (2016) and "Babe" (2018), both of which she wrote but gave away to other country artists; and six new "From the Vault" tracks that were intended for the 2012 album. Swift and Christopher Rowe produced most of Red (Taylor's Version), while Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, Paul Mirkovich, Espionage, Tim Blacksmith, Danny D, and Elvira Anderfjärd handled the rest. Shellback, Dan Wilson, Jeff Bhasker, Jacknife Lee, and Butch Walker also returned to produce the re-recordings of tracks they had worked on in 2012. Phoebe Bridgers and Chris Stapleton joined the album as guest vocalists alongside original features from Gary Lightbody and Ed Sheeran.

Red (Taylor's Version) was met with widespread acclaim from music critics who admired Swift's vocal performances, the production quality, and the new tracks. Reviews described it as a classic pop record expanding from Swift's country roots into electronic, synth-pop and rock flairs, whilst chronicling various dynamics of love, life, loss and heartache. The album broke a string of commercial records, such as the Spotify feat for the largest single-day streams for an album by a female artist and the biggest vinyl sales week in MRC Data history. It topped the charts in Argentina, Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Scotland and the United Kingdom, as well as the United States where Swift surpassed Elton John's 46-year-old record to become the fastest soloist in Billboard 200 history to collect four number-one albums, doing so in under 16 months.

Swift promoted the album with televised appearances on NBC. The songs "I Bet You Think About Me" and "Message in a Bottle" were released as country and pop radio singles, respectively. "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" became Swift's eighth number-one song on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the longest number-one song of all time—a Guinness World Record. Twenty-five other tracks from the album also charted on the Hot 100 the same week, setting the record for the most single-week new entries ever by an artist. Swift wrote and directed All Too Well: The Short Film, a romantic drama starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien, released on November 12 to rave reviews as well. Various publications have identified the roll-out of Red (Taylor's Version) as a key pop-culture moment of 2021.

Background

Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I'm not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way.

Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red, was released on October 22, 2012, by American independent record label Big Machine Records. It witnessed Swift expand beyond her country roots and explore mainstream pop, incorporating a variety of genres.[3][4] The effort was met with generally positive reviews and widespread commercial success. It garnered Swift's first number-one song on the US Billboard Hot 100, the album's lead single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", and other successful singles in 2012 and 2013, such as "I Knew You Were Trouble", "22" and "Everything Has Changed".[5] Red became Swift's first number-one album in the UK, and her album with the most UK top-10 singles so far.[6] Over the years, the album collected critical praise for showcasing Swift's artistry and versatility.[7] It became one of the most acclaimed albums of the 2010s decade, appearing on many decade-end best-music lists.[8] Rolling Stone placed it at number 99 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[9] As of June 2021, Red has moved over 7.5 million album-equivalent units in the US alone.[5]

As per her contract with Big Machine, Swift released six studio albums under the label from 2006 to 2017. In late 2018, the contract with the label expired; she hence withdrew from Big Machine and signed a new recording deal with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, which secured her the rights to own the masters of the new music she will release.[10] In 2019, American businessman Scooter Braun and his company Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine.[11] As part of the acquisition, ownership of the masters to Swift's first six studio albums, including Red, transferred to Braun.[12] In August 2019, Swift denounced Braun's purchase of the label, and announced that she would re-record her first six studio albums, so as to own their masters herself.[13] In November 2020, Braun sold the masters to Shamrock Holdings, an American private equity firm owned by the Disney estate,[note 2] under the conditions that Braun and Ithaca Holdings will continue to financially profit from the albums.[14] Swift began re-recording the albums in November 2020.[15]

Fearless (Taylor's Version), the first of her six re-recorded albums, was released on April 9, 2021. It achieved critical and commercial success,[16] and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart as the first re-recorded album in history to top the chart,[5] a return to the number-one spot 13 years after the original release in 2008.[2] All of its singles, "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", "You All Over Me", and "Mr. Perfectly Fine", peaked inside the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Country Songs, the first of which was her first number-one on the chart since "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and made her only the second artist in history to top the chart with both the original and re-recording of the same song, after "I Will Always Love You" by Dolly Parton.[17]

Music and lyrics

[Red (Taylor's Version) is] meticulously reproduced. The drums might be sharper in "I Knew You Were Trouble" and the guitars brush with more prominence and clarity in "22" but these technical improvements don't diminish the spirit of the 2012 edition. As well, Swift's voice has, naturally, gained muscularity and confidence with age [...] She still hits the higher range at the end of "Everything Has Changed", her soft duet with Ed Sheeran, and nails the giggle and "it's so fun!" proclamation that wraps "Stay Stay Stay". Those who may have forgotten one of the album's prettiest songs, "The Last Time", with Snow Patrol singer Gary Lightbody, are also reminded of its hushed beauty.

— Melissa Ruggieri, USA Today critic[18]

Red (Taylor's Version) has been labeled as a pop[19] and country album[20] driven by organic instruments and electronic elements, further containing synth pop and arena rock songs.[19][21][22] All of the album's tracks, excluding the "from the Vault" tracks, are musically identical to their original 2012 recordings, except "Girl at Home", which now has an electropop production, compared to its original country pop counterpart.[23][24][25]

Songs "From the Vault"

Tracks 22–30 are denoted as the "From the Vault" tracks, the newly added songs to the re-recording of Red. "Better Man" is a country ballad set to a banjo.[19] It sees Swift detail her post-breakup pain.[26] "Nothing New" is a folk duet with Phoebe Bridgers, with lyrics dealing with insecurities around aging,[19] growing old,[22] and the "unfair social expectations on young women".[26] "Babe" is a ska pop song[27] with slide guitar, keys and percussion. Its lyrics describe the missteps in a dissolving relationship.[26]

"Message in a Bottle" is a dynamic, dance track about the beginnings of a romantic connection.[26] "I Bet You Think About Me" is a country pop song featuring background vocals by Chris Stapleton,[28] and a prominent harmonica.[26] It addresses a "high tone" love interest.[22] "Forever Winter" is a power pop song opening with energetic brass.[19] Swift's vocals in the song are characterized by "nuanced, wide-ranging", fast paced, breathy notes of syllables, set to horns, flutes and guitars. Lyrically, "Forever Winter" is directed to a friend of Swift with mental health struggles.[26]

"Run" is an acoustic, indie folk-leaning duet with Ed Sheeran.[19] It is guided by a twiddling guitar and orchestral compositions, while its lyrics consisting of romantic gestures.[26] "The Very First Night" is an uptempo dance-pop song driven by electronic programming and banjo in which Swift wishes she could go back in time to make a moment perfect.[26] "All Too Well (10-Minute Version)" is a slow ballad driven by a thudding and insistent bass guitar, and additional verses, chorus with a downtempo outro. Its lyrics take a more feminist proposition compared to the five-minute version,[19] and incorporates the popular William Shakespeare quote "All's Well That Ends Well".[22]

On June 27, English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran appeared on The Official Big Top 40, where he confirmed his involvement with Red (Taylor's Version), saying he re-recorded "Everything Has Changed"—his duet with Swift on Red.[39] Three days later, Swift's 2012 charity single, "Ronan", was also confirmed as a track on the album by Swift's co-writer and the mother of the song's subject, Maya Thompson, via her blog.[40][41] On August 5, Swift posted a cryptic video across her social media, teasing a word puzzle for the fans to solve; it spelled out "Chris Stapleton", "Phoebe Bridgers", "Babe", "Better Man", and "All Too Well Ten Minute Version".[42][43] Concurrently, pre-orders for the album's CDs went up on Swift's website.[42] She posted the official track listing on August 6.[44] Before releasing any song from Red (Taylor's Version), Swift released "Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)" on September 17, a track set to appear on the re-recording of her 2014 studio album, 1989.

Swift released four six-song compilations, Red (Taylor's Version): Could You Be the One Chapter, Red (Taylor's Version): She Wrote a Song About Me Chapter, Red (Taylor's Version): The Slow Motion Chapter and Red (Taylor's Version): From The Vault Chapter on January 13, 18, 25 and 31, 2022, respectively.[51][52]

In a rave review, Lydia Burgham of The New Zealand Herald hailed Red (Taylor's Version) as Swift's magnum opus.[24] Rolling Stone music critic Rob Sheffield wrote "the new Red is even bigger, glossier, deeper, casually crueler", powered by Swift's adult voice.[22] Helen Brown of The Independent stated Red (Taylor's Version) is a "better, brighter version of a terrific pop album".[19] NME's Hannah Mylrea praised the album's newly added tracks, and highlighted the sharper production quality and the "instrumentation being brought further into focus".[68] Beth Kirkbride, writing for Clash, said that, with the new additions, Red (Taylor's Version) is a "medley of genres" toying with various styles. She described its subject matter as "an exercise in catharsis" that retreads like a storybook of Swift's formative years.[66]

Kate Solomon of i wrote that Swift's voice is "leagues better now" and "the vocal furniture that she adds to the songs are like her revelling in that knowledge, flexing newly limber muscles."[72] Under the Radar reviewer Andy Von Pip commended Red (Taylor's Version) for having a sharper production and "richer" vocal performances than Red without losing the seriousness and emotional heft of its subject matter.[73] Variety's Chris Willman called its vault tracks "a collection of songs that doesn't have a real dud".[74] Reviewing for The Line of Best Fit, Paul Bridgewater opined that Red (Taylor's Version) "balances fan service alongside an insightful documentation of one of modern pop's best songwriters at a key juncture in her career", and added that Swift has carefully curated the expanded track-list without devolving from the album's original appeal.[67] Slant Magazine critic Jonathan Keefe stated that Red (Taylor's Version) is a testament to the growth of Swift's musicality and praised the album's instrumental quality for giving its songs "a stronger emotional resonance".[75]

Calling Red (Taylor's Version) a "highly rewarding listen" for both fans and causal listeners and "another towering victory" for Swift after Fearless (Taylor's Version), Bobby Olivier of Spin praised all aspects of the album—the vocal performances, songwriting, and production.[76] Consequence's Mary Siroky felt the expanded record functions as a closure to the original album, allowing Swift to "finish the story on her terms".[23] Receiving the coveted "Best New Music" honor from Pitchfork, critic Olivia Horn said Red (Taylor's Version) contains Swift's signature "ecstatic, expressive vocals, tart humor, vivid imagery, and tender attention to the nuances of love and loss", and makes an artistic statement about revisiting the past, "both the flattering and the less flattering bits".[25][77] The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber said Swift "continues to push herself to new places as she doubles down on the things that make her beloved".[78]

Melissa Reguieri, in her USA Today review, appreciated the versatile musicality, strong vocals, meticulous replication, and enhanced production quality of Red (Taylor's Version), as well as regarding the album an "intriguing study" of Swift's lyrical proficiency.[79] Sputnikmusic called the album "an absolute triumph" for the insight of its musical and lyrical approach, and criticized their own "immature" review of the album in 2012, confirming "Swift's observations about love and life at age twenty-two were simply amazing".[80] The Guardian writer Laura Snapes stated that Swift's voice is richer and more mature in the re-recorded album, but its lack of twang "slightly blunts the rabid, deliciously vindictive edge that fuelled the original's tumultuous depiction of heartbreak".[27]

United States

Within five days of its release, Red (Taylor's Version) sold over 500,000 album-equivalent units, including 325,000 album sales, which marked 2021's largest sales week for an album already, surpassing Swift's own Evermore (2020). Of those sales, 112,000 were in the vinyl LP format, breaking the record for the largest vinyl sales week for an album in the history of MRC Data (also held previously by Evermore).

Impact

Various brands and companies[note 7] used their social media accounts to endorse the album; some of them added "(Taylor's Version)" to their Twitter usernames during the release week.[111] Fitness equipment manufacturer Peloton announced that the album's songs will be used in their on-demand classes, such as of cycling, running, and yoga, upon popular demand.[112] Paper wrote that Swift's impact was "felt across social media", with the brands "capitalizing on her momentum".[111] Inc. said the companies leveraged the album's cultural relevance.[113] Beauty company Cosmetify reported that Google searches for "red lipstick" increased 669 percent following the release of Red (Taylor's Version).[114]

Media outlets and fans online dubbed Red (Taylor's Version) as part of a 2021 music trend called "Sad Girl Autumn" or "Sad Girl Fall", which refers to the release of melancholic and introspective music by female artists during autumn, such as Adele's 30 and Mitski's "The Only Heartbreaker"; it is a counterpart to "Hot Girl Summer", a catchphrase coined by American rapper Megan Thee Stallion with her 2019 song of the same name. Swift herself acknowledged the phenomenon by releasing an acoustic rendition of "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" subtitled "Sad Girl Autumn Version".[115]

The Wall Street Journal stated that Red (Taylor's Version) is "reshaping the music industry", highlighting how the re-recorded songs are outperforming their original counterparts on streaming services, going viral on TikTok, and landing "lucrative" licensing deals for usage in motion pictures. According to the newspaper, Universal Music Group—the parent company of Republic Records—implemented stricter terms in recording deals which effectively doubled the time before an artist can rerecord their music. Other changes in the contracts included increased royalty payments to artists following their demands for better revenue shares.[116] Variety named Swift the "Queen of Stream" for setting multiple streaming records with the release of Red (Taylor's Version).[117] Rolling Stone opined "it's no small feat" for a re-released album to score a number-one song, and said deluxe or special editions of albums are often "gimmicky", but Red (Taylor's Version) challenged that norm and evolved on the original album rather than attempting to replace it.[118]

Publications described the release of Red (Taylor's Version), "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)", the accompanying short film, and Swift's re-recording venture overall as one of the biggest newsmakers and pop culture moments of 2021.[119][120][121] Vogue called it a "multimedia, news-cycle-dominating release" and stated "nobody releases (or rereleases!) an album like Swift."[122] The Recording Academy called Red (Taylor's Version) a pop phenomenon that defined 2021.[123] Ms. and Slate journalists stated Red (Taylor's Version) is a testament to Red's legacy, highlighting how critics in 2012 called Red a sub-par album citing its "hyper-emotionality and obsessive romanticism" but eventually saw it as a "masterclass in pop songwriting and poetry ahead of its time". Ms. wrote the period's sexist scrutiny downplayed her artistry; Slate stated the media had no sympathy for Swift, painting her as a "boy-crazy, vengeful ex" and failing to assess Red without prejudice.[77][70] Billboard named Swift the "Greatest Pop Star of 2021" for her "unequivocal" success that year.[124] Rolling Stone reported she was the highest-paid female musician of 2021.[125]
