{{quote|All the different emotions that are written about on this album are all pretty much about the kind of tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships that I’ve experienced in the last two years. All those emotions — spanning from intense love, intense frustration, jealousy, confusion, all of that — in my mind, all those emotions are red. You know, there’s nothing in between. There’s nothing beige about any of those feelings.}}

The album's lead single, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was released on August 13 and has since became Swift's first number one single on the US Billboard Hot 100. The song's jump from its debut position No. 79 to No. 1 was the result of a massive digital demand on the song. With 623,000 downloads, the song placed second among all-time best single-week sales singles, behind Flo Rida's 2009 hit "Right Round."

Latest revision as of 03:09, 19 April 2024

You are currently reading the article dedicated to the album Red. You may have been looking for the re-recorded version, the song or the tour.

Red is the fourth studio album by American singer and songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 22, 2012, through Big Machine Records.

Background

The lead single of the album is "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". Its music video premiered on CMT, MTV, and TeenNick. A single from the album was released each Tuesday leading up to the release, starting Tuesday, September 25, 2012.

Swift stated her reason for naming the album Red as:

“ All the different emotions that are written about on this album are all pretty much about the kind of tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships that I’ve experienced in the last two years. All those emotions — spanning from intense love, intense frustration, jealousy, confusion, all of that — in my mind, all those emotions are red. You know, there’s nothing in between. There’s nothing beige about any of those feelings. ”

Singles

Promotional singles

Other songs

"Ronan" was released digitally on iTunes following a performance of the song on Stand Up for Cancer, with all the proceeds going to Cancer-related charities, as stated by Swift herself via Twitter. President and CEO of Big Machine Records Scott Borchetta have confirmed via Twitter that the song is not on Red, but that they "may have to rethink" about adding it to the album. They never added it to the album, but it is available on iTunes. "Better Man" and "Babe" were written for the album but they were scrapped and then given to Little Big Town and Sugarland. "Nothing New" was also a Red cut, since in the Lover Deluxe Journals, it revealed that it was written in 2012.

All those songs were included in the re-recorded version of the album, released on November 12, 2021, with "Better Man" and "Babe" being completely sung by Taylor herself.

Other promotions

Taylor worked with Keds in a contest to win signed pairs of special edition Red Keds for promotion. As of October 29, they have sold out until the winter.

Legacy

Red appeared on many publications' lists of the best albums of the 2010s decade.[1] It featured on Atwood Magazine's unranked list[2] and was included on The Independent[3] and Pitchfork.[4] It was ranked within the top 10 by Uproxx (three),[5] Billboard (four),[6] Rolling Stone (four),[7] the Tampa Bay Times (nine),[8] and Stereogum (10).[9] Taste of Country ranked Red as one of the best country albums of the decade.[10] In 2020, Rolling Stone ranked Red at number 99 on their revised list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.[11]
