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.

Consisting of 30 tracks, Red (Taylor's Version) 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 had given off to American country music bands Little Big Town and Sugarland, respectively; 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.

Upon release, Red (Taylor's Version) was met with widespread acclaim from music critics, who admired Swift's vocals, the "improved" production details and new tracks. Reviews described the expanded album as a classic pop record combining Swift's country roots with electronic, synth-pop and rock flairs, whilst chronicling various dynamics of love, life, loss and heartache. The album broke a string of commercial records, including the Spotify feat for the biggest single-day streams for an album by a female artist and the highest vinyl LP sales in a week in the history of MRC Data. It topped the charts in 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 became the fastest soloist in Billboard 200 history to collect four number-one albums, doing so in under 16 months.

Swift promoted the album with television appearances on NBC, and inspired by the premise of "All Too Well", she wrote and directed All Too Well: The Short Film, which was released to YouTube on November 12. In the US, "I Bet You Think About Me" impacted country radio stations on November 15, 2021, whereas "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)" debuted atop the Billboard Hot 100 as the eighth number-one song of Swift's career and the longest number-one song in the chart's history; 25 other tracks from the album also charted on the Hot 100 in the same week, causing Swift to break the record for the most simultaneous entries on the chart by a female artist.

Background

Further information: Taylor Swift masters controversy

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.

American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift's fourth studio album, Red was released on October 22, 2012, by Big Machine Records. It witnessed Swift expand beyond her country roots and explore mainstream pop, incorporating a variety of genres.[2][3] 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".[4] Red became Swift's first number-one album in the UK, and her album with the most UK top-10 singles so far.[5] Over the years, the album collected critical praise for showcasing Swift's artistry and versatility.[6] It became one of the most acclaimed albums of the 2010s decade, appearing on many decade-end best-music lists.[7] Rolling Stone placed it at number 99 on its list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[8] As of June 2021, Red has moved over 7.5 million album-equivalent units in the US alone.[4]

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.[9] In 2019, American businessman Scooter Braun and his company Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine.[10] As part of the acquisition, ownership of the masters to Swift's first six studio albums, including Red, transferred to Braun.[11] 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.[12] In November 2020, Braun sold the masters to Shamrock Holdings, an American private equity firm owned by the Disney estate,[note 1] under the conditions that Braun and Ithaca Holdings will continue to financially profit from the albums.[13] Swift began re-recording the albums in November 2020.[14]

Fearless (Taylor's Version), the first of her six re-recorded albums, was released on April 9, 2021. It achieved critical and commercial success,[15] and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart as the first re-recorded album in history to top the chart,[4] a return to the number-one spot 13 years after the original release in 2008.[1] 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.[16]

Red (Taylor's Version) was met with widespread acclaim from music critics.[62] At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 92 based on 14 reviews, it is Swift's highest-rated album.[56]

In a rave review, Rolling Stone music critic Rob Sheffield wrote "the new Red is even bigger, glossier, deeper, casually crueler", powered by Swift's adult voice.[20] Helen Brown of The Independent stated Red (Taylor's Version) is a "better, brighter version of a terrific pop album."[17] 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".[61] 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.[59]

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."[63] Variety's Chris Willman called the vault tracks "a collection of songs that doesn't have a real dud".[64] 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.[60] 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".[65]

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.[66] 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."[21] 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."[23][67] The Atlantic's Spencer Kornhaber wrote that Swift "continues to push herself to new places as she doubles down on the things that make her beloved."[68]

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.[69] Sputnikmusic staff critic 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".[70] Lydia Burgham of The New Zealand Herald asserted that "Red was always a tangled web of sounds and emotions" but its re-recording and inclusion of never-heard-before songs add more layers to the album, this time speaking "volumes about what the album means to [Swift]."[22] 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".[25]

Commercial performance

Upon release, Red (Taylor's Version) broke several streaming records. It became the most-streamed album in a day from a female artist on Spotify, with more than 90.8 million global opening-day streams, surpassing the previous record of 80.6 million by Swift's own Folklore (2020). Bolstered by the album's strong performance, Swift also became the most streamed woman in a single day—with more than 122.9 million global streams on the platform across her entire discography—and the first woman in Spotify history to amass 100 million streams within one day.[71] The album moved over 1.2 million copies globally in its first week.[72]

The album opened with 369,000 pure album sales, of which 114,000 were vinyl LP sales, and marked the largest sales week for a country album since Luke Bryan's Crash My Party sold 528,000 copies in 2014. It marked Swift's tenth Billboard 200 chart-topper, making her the second woman to achieve score so many number-one albums after Barbra Streisand, who has 11. Swift also became the fastest soloist to earn four number-ones on the Billboard 200 (less than 16 months), breaking Elton John's 46-year-old record.[75]

26 of the album's tracks entered the Billboard Hot 100 simultaneously, setting the records for the most debuts on the Hot 100 in a single week and the most simultaneous Hot 100 entries by a female artist, both of which were held by Swift herself with the release of Lover (2019).

Four of those tracks landed inside the Hot 100's top 40 region, bringing Swift's sum of top-40 entries to 85—the third highest sum in history, surpassing Elvis Presley.[76] "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)", carried by the success of its 10-minute rendition, arrived atop the Hot 100 chart as Swift's eighth number-one song in the US. Swift became the first act in history to debut at number-one on both the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts simultaneously in three different occasions, following "Cardigan" and Folklore in August 2020 and "Willow" and Evermore in December 2020.[77]

Impact

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.[83] Variety named Swift the "Queen of Stream" for setting multiple streaming records with the release of Red (Taylor's Version).[84] Beauty company Cosmetify reported that Google searches for "red lipstick" increased by 669 percent following the album's release.[85]
