Red (Taylor’s Version) Is a Fan Service for Longtime Swifties That Can Smartly Reel in New Fans Too

There isn’t another Taylor Swift record that’s as universally adored by her fans than her fourth record Red. Though divisive among critics for its vast sonic range, Red is a Taylor Swift favourite among fans. The sad tone, and familiar themes of growing up and heartbreak have made Red a fall classic for Swifties these past nine years. It’s no surprise then that the announcement earlier this year of the re-recording of Red was met with intense fervor. Swift’s first re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor’s Version), was already met with love and adoration, but Fearless is no Red. No, Red is completely different gravy.
