In Honor of Red (Taylor’s Version) Look Back at Taylor Swift’s Evolution in Red

“Red (Taylor’s Version)” just dropped and we’re “not fine at all.” Just like “knowing all the words to your old favorite song,” the historic pop record is the ultimate “sad girl autumn” soundtrack and finally belongs to Taylor Swift again, in her second series of album re-recordings to claim ownership of her masters. Smash hit, ex-boyfriend cursing singles like “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “22,” and “I Knew You Were Trouble” are back and better than ever (sorry Jake Gyllenhaal) along with never-before released tracks “from the vault” that didn’t make the album, including the full cut of the fan-cherished “All Too Well.” Re-recording an entire body of work is an unprecedented project, but an important statement as a woman in music – especially for a singer-songwriter powerhouse that can write that ten minute ballad off the cuff in band rehearsal.

“All Too Well” is too grand for a mere music video, so Swift wrote and directed a short film starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien, premiering tonight on YouTube. Her unmatched storytelling in “Red” is infinite, like her unstopping pen, bleeding onto new pages, and revealing new layers of a tortured, fierce, and true heartbreak. The 2012 record, her fourth album, was a historic shift from country, blending into new, experimental sounds that dominated the charts and comforted “mosaic broken hearts.”

Luckily (and obviously), red’s her color. We’ve rounded up 13 (yes, her lucky number) of her best moments in bold, passionate red, in honor of her intimate retelling of a “brave and wild love.”

She wrote on Instagram the night of “Red (Taylor’s Version)’s” release, “Just a friendly reminder that I would never have thought it was possible to go back and remake my previous work, uncovering lost art and forgotten gems along the way, if you hadn’t emboldened me. Red is about to be mine again, but it has always been ours.”

Go on a walk, grab a “Taylor’s Version” Starbuck’s latte, and try not to think too hard about your ex. And remember that” love is a ruthless game, unless you play it good and right.”
