Music critics described Red (Taylor's Version) as an eclectic album combining styles of pop, country, rock, and electronic, featuring various instruments such as acoustic strings and electronic keyboards. Its songs address the different dynamics of love and heartbreak. Met with unanimous acclaim, the album received critical praise for Swift's vocals, its enhanced production quality, and the vault tracks. Commercially, Red (Taylor's Version) topped the charts in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, among others. In the United States, it was Swift's fourth number-one on the Billboard 200 in less than 16 months, registering the shortest time span for an artist to collect four number-one albums.
Taylor Swift signed a recording contract with Nashville-based independent record label Big Machine in 2005.[1] As part of the contract, Big Machine released Swift's first six studio albums, from Taylor Swift (2006) to Reputation (2017).[2] Her fourth studio album, Red, was released on October 22, 2012. It expanded beyond the country stylings of her past albums and explored styles of mainstream pop and other genres.[3][4] The album's lead single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", was Swift's first number-one song on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] Other singles, "I Knew You Were Trouble" and "22", were commercially successful and propelled Swift towards pop stardom.[5][6] Although critical reviews of Red were generally positive, its eclectic musical influences led to critics questioning Swift's country-music identity;[7] the album was retrospectively regarded as a testament to Swift's artistic versatility.[8]Rolling Stone placed it at number 99 on its 2021 revision of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[9]
By August 2018, Swift's contract with Big Machine had expired; she signed a new contract with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, which secured her the rights to own the masters of the new music she would release.[10] In 2019, the talent manager Scooter Braun and his company Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine Records. The masters of Swift's Big Machine-released albums, including Red, were effectively transferred to Braun, which resulted in a public dispute between Swift and Braun.[11] Swift denounced the purchase and began re-recording her first six studio albums, including Red, in November 2020.[12] By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine–owned masters.[13]
The first in Swift's re-recording series was Fearless (Taylor's Version), which was released on April 9, 2021.[14] It is the re-recording of her second studio album, Fearless (2008). In addition to re-recordings of the original Fearless album tracks, Fearless (Taylor's Version) includes several unreleased tracks denoted as "From the Vault".[15][a]Fearless (Taylor's Version) became the first re-recorded album in history to top the US Billboard 200.[5] Two months after the release of Fearless (Taylor's Version), on June 18, 2021, Swift announced Red (Taylor's Version) as her second re-recorded album; it is the re-recording of Red.[5] In addition to the re-recordings of the original album tracks, Red (Taylor's Version) also includes nine vault tracks.[16]
Music and lyrics
Composition
In a social media post, Swift wrote that re-recording Red made her think of the album, both musically and lyrically, as "resembling a heartbroken person [...], all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end".[16] Music critics mostly characterized Red (Taylor's Version) as a pop album with eclectic musical styles, as with the original album.[17][18][19][20] All songs feature the additional "Taylor's Version" moniker;[21] they incorporate diverse sounds, including synth-pop, arena rock, indie rock, electronic, dubstep, and folk,[22][23][24] using both acoustic and electronic instruments.[17][25] Tracks 1–20 are re-recordings of the original Red album songs, and they are country pop and experimental tracks intertwined between one another.[19][23] Track 21 is the re-recording of "Ronan", a 2012 standalone charity single inspired by a four-year-old boy who died from cancer complications.[26][27]Gary Lightbody of the rock band Snow Patrol and Ed Sheeran returned to feature on "The Last Time" and "Everything Has Changed", respectively.[28]
All but one re-recorded tracks feature the same arrangements as their original versions;[29] they were produced by their respective original producers, except Max Martin, Dann Huff, and Nathan Chapman, whose production was conducted by Swift and Christopher Rowe.[30] "Girl at Home" was reworked from an acoustic number into a synth-pop track produced by Elvira Anderfjärd.[31] The re-recorded tracks feature Swift's mature, deeper, and more resonant vocals,[23][26][32] and a subtly sharper production that either tweaks or emphasizes certain instruments. Pitchfork's Olivia Horn wrote that the melody of "Sad Beautiful Tragic" might have tweaked "a note or two",[31]USA Today's Melissa Ruggieri found the drums on "I Knew You Were Trouble" sharper and the guitars on "22" more defined,[33] and NME's Hannah Mylrea described the opening drums on "State of Grace" as "crisper", the soft rock guitars on "Red" as "a little brighter", and the mandolin on "Stay Stay Stay" as "lifted".[26] According to Carrie Battan from The New Yorker, some of the stronger instrumentation made the re-recorded album resemble a live performance.[34]
"From the Vault" tracks
Tracks 22–30 are labeled "From the Vault", which are songs Swift had written but did not include in the 2012 album. Two vault tracks—"Better Man" and "Babe"—are songs that had been written by Swift and recorded by Little Big Town in 2016 and Sugarland in 2018 respectively.[26] The closing track, "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)", is an unabridged version of "All Too Well" that contains lyrics Swift wrote in 2011 before trimming down the track.[35] Carson Mlnarik from MTV News wrote that some vault tracks featured Swift's country songwriting, which was a reminder of how "Red is a country album at its core".[36] The vault tracks were produced by Swift, Shellback, Anderfjärd, Espionage, Jack Antonoff, and Aaron Dessner.[30]
"Better Man" is a banjo-led country ballad that incorporates mandolin and strings[17][26] with lyrics about the aftermath of a painful breakup.[37] "Nothing New", a folk duet with Phoebe Bridgers, is about insecurities around aging and the social perceptions of young women.[17][37] "Babe", whose version by Sugarland is a country song, is reworked into a pop-ska and country-pop arrangement[24][37] consisting of slide guitar, keyboards, brass, and percussion.[26] Its lyrics describe the missteps in a dissolving relationship.[37]
"Run" is an acoustic indie folk-leaning duet with Ed Sheeran, who wrote the track with Swift the same day they wrote "Everything Has Changed".[17][25] The production of "Run" is driven by a twiddling guitar and orchestral compositions, while its lyrics consist of romantic gestures.[37] "The Very First Night" is an uptempo bubblegum and country pop song that sees Swift reminiscing about the first moments of a blossoming romance.[36][37][40] "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" is a slow ballad with a pop rock sound driven by a thudding and insistent bassline.[17][42] It features additional verses that provide a richer context to the original song.[25]

Some critics highlighted Swift's insight and musicality. 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 tracklist without devolving from the album's original appeal.[69]Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe,[77]The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber,[78] and Consequence's Mary Siroky felt the expanded album testifies to Swift's musical growth, exuding "a stronger emotional resonance".[29]Variety's Chris Willman appreciated the vault tracks.[79]
