On Friday, June 18th, Taylor Swift announced that she will be coming out with her new album “Red Taylors Version” that would be released Friday November 19 2021, with a ten minute version of her song “All Too Well”.   

Until one of her latest announcements stated that the album would be moved from the 19th to the 12th. One of her other latest announcements on November 5th was for her short film of her song “All Too Well”, starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O’Brien.

The short film was amazing.  It had music and acting and Sadie Sink, a fan favorite.     

You might be wondering why she is coming out with the same Red album but “Taylors Version”. That is because the first version that came out in 2012 and the rest of her first six albums weren’t really hers; they were owned by her manager and not her. Her manager who had a hold of all of her songs gets the profit from all of the songs on her first six albums and she gets nothing. 

There will be all of the songs from the original album and also new songs called “Babe”, “Run”, “The Very First Night”, “Forever Winter”, “I Bet You Think About Me”, “Better Man”, “Nothing New” and “Message in a Bottle”. The album will have 30 songs and be 2 hours 10 minutes and 26 seconds long.

Fans are loving this album “CAN WE ALL AGREE THAT RED (TAYLOR’S VERSION) HITS HARDER THAN BEFORE??????? TAYLOR SWIFT MATURE VOCALS OH MY GOD” lillyswiftt13 tweeted. 

Fans are hoping this album will be eligible to win some awards, “taylor swift is about to prove the world that red always deserved that grammy.” heythereswiftie tweeted.

My personal opinion on the album is that it is amazing and has a totally different vibe than the original album. My sister says that she sounds the same in her songs but I find that she doesn’t and they have more emotion and her songs are amazing. 

My favorite songs are “All Too Well” especially the 10 minute version, “Babe”, “I Bet You Think About Me”, “State of Grace”, “Nothing New”, “The Lucky One” and “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” I find that she sounds the best in those 7 songs.
