About

After rerecording her 2008 album <i>Fearless</i> as part of a sweeping effort to regain control of her master tapes—or at least create new ones—Taylor Swift presents <i>Red (Taylor’s Version)</i>, an expanded take on her 2012 blockbuster that features nine never-before-released songs written in the same era as the original. “Musically and lyrically, <i>Red</i> resembled a heartbroken person,” she wrote in a letter to fans. “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.” The hot-blooded breakup anthems you know and love are still there (“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and “I Knew You Were Trouble” are two), but the new, full collection paints an even richer portrait of heartbreak. She wrestles with change on “Nothing New,” an alt-rock duet with Phoebe Bridgers; contemplates fate on a wistful pop song produced by Max Martin and Shellback (“Message in a Bottle”); and gets the final, piercing word on “I Bet You Think About Me” featuring Chris Stapleton, penned after a high-profile breakup in 2011. Longtime fans will be especially glad to see an extended cut of “All Too Well,” the project’s emotional centerpiece. It features new production from hitmaker Jack Antonoff, but Swift’s original lyrical genius is still remarkable. “And you call me up again just to break me like a promise/So casually cruel in the name of being honest,” she sings. It’s the line she’s always said she’s most proud of from this album and era. Ten years on, it still cuts deep.

Red (Taylor's Version), released on November 12, 2021, is a re-recording of singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red (2012). The re-recording venture is Swift's countermeasure against the sale of the masters to her first six studio albums.
Consisting of 30 tracks, Red (Taylor's Version) contains re-recorded versions of 20 songs from the deluxe edition of Red; Swift's charity single "Ronan" (2012); six new "from the Vault" tracks that were intended for the 2012 album; the 10-minute-long, uncut version of "All Too Well"; and Swift's own versions of "Better Man" (2016) and "Babe" (2018), both of which she wrote but had been recorded and released by American country music bands Little Big Town and Sugarland, respectively.
Swift and Christopher Rowe produced most of Red (Taylor's Version), with additional production by Aaron Dessner, Jack Antonoff, Paul Mirkovich, Espionage, Tim Blacksmith, Danny D, and Elvira Anderfjärd. Original collaborators Shellback, Dan Wilson, Jeff Bhasker, Jacknife Lee, and Butch Walker also returned to produce the re-recorded renditions of tracks they had worked on in 2012. Singers Phoebe Bridgers and Chris Stapleton contributed guest vocals on the album alongside original features from Gary Lightbody of Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran.
