Perhaps one of those From The Vault tracks just doesn’t mesh or something. You’d think that with thirty songs, something would feel out of place. Despite the fact that this record is two-hours and ten minutes long, Swift’s songs always make you want to stay for more, and it’s even more amazing how coherent this thing feels.

It certainly felt like a hugely long wait to finally get to hear the entirety of this thirty-track album, but the day is officially upon us and I can wholeheartedly say that it was absolutely worth the treacherous wait. And although almost every Swiftie believed that 1989 (Taylor’s Version) would be the second re-released album thanks to Swift dropping numerous hints on social media and on talk shows, she actually threw us a red herring, instead announcing that it would be Red. There’s just something so incredibly endearing and tear-jerking about listening to songs such as Love Story and You Belong With Me sung by a thirty-one-year-old Taylor Swift.

Yet in April of this year, Swift released Fearless (Taylor’s Version) which had almost the entire fanbase in tears being left with a humongous wave of 2000s nostalgia and updated, more mature vocals and production. There is a ton of work that goes into it, not just vocally, but also in terms of production, mixing, mastering, etc. And recording a song is not that simple, either. Well over a year ago, it was announced that legendary singer-songwriter Taylor Swift would officially re-record and re-release her first six albums as part of her plan to regain her masters from record label Big Machine. This is undoubtedly going to be a terribly long and time-consuming project to do for Swift, as she will have to re-record literally hundreds of songs. Taylor Swift’s goosebump-inducing thirty-track album Red (Taylor’s Version) is masterful proof that the singer-songwriter will forever continue to change the game.
