Red by Taylor Swift, 2012 thoughts:

State of Grace: I prefer the acoustic version, I'll be honest but the lyrics 'I never saw you coming and I'll never be the same' hits hard for your first wlw experience in my experience & this album came out the first time I fell for a girl. So!! it means a lot

Red: I will hear no bad words against this song. I lovelovelove the CMAs version. This remains one of my favourite singles of hers, it's just so GOOD. It's so upbeat music wise but the lyrics are piercing

Treacherous: I WILL NOT SHUT UP ABOUT THE FORBIDDEN ROMANCE LGBT VIBES THAT COME OUT OF THIS SONG!!! 'and I'll do anything you say if you say it with your hands' girl me too!

I Knew You Were Trouble: an absolute banger, a bop. remember when she sang 'she never loved me' several times and it was caught on camera? I won't forget it. She did that for the girls (the girls = me)

All Too Well: I don't care if everyone says it, this is Taylor's best song. It is perfect and so heartbreaking, raw and HONEST. She poured her entire soul out to us & in turn we made it our anthem, made it a happy song for her in the long run.

22: If you don't post this song as your caption when you turn 22 are you even a Swiftie? I'm 23 now but she's right we are happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time. We really are..

I Almost Do: this song is in my god tier of Taylor Swift songs. 'It never, ever occured to you that I can't say hello to you and risk another goodbye' we've all been there, knowing someone is bad for us but wishing they could be better so we could run to them

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together: I relate to this song because my nearly all of my ex girlfriends listen to some indie record that they think is much cooler than Taylor Swift's

Stay Stay Stay: if you hate this song just say you hate fun and move on with your boring life, this song is cute and fun!! let her have FUN!!!

The Last Time: I do not know why people hate this song, it's one of my fave collabs of hers! It's so cutting to hear both sides of a toxic relationship, the person knowing they're toxic for them both too. Ugh! I've been there

Holy Ground: this song makes me want to get up and dance despite the lyrics being like 'and for the first time I had something to lose and I guess we fell apart in the usual way' but Taylor has a way of making her saddest songs like that

Sad Beautiful Tragic: this is IT. this is my SONG on this album. I would have this entire song tattooed on my body! I am not fucking around. When she sang 'you've got your demons and darling, they all look like me' I felt that with my ENTIRE chest

The Lucky One: this song mirrors Lucky by Britney Spears but if you want to hear more about that then look at my thread on it, I will not shut up about it. Anyway #FreeBritney

Everything Has Changed: this is a cute song but I just.. cannot enjoy Ed Sheeran. I can't, I just feel so straight whenever I hear him

Starlight: When she said 'look at you, worrying so much about things you can't change you'll spend your whole life singing the blues if you keep thinking that way' I should have listened. I might not be depressed now

Begin Again: this is my favourite Taylor Swift song, I'm just gonna say it. It is. It makes me feel all warm and safe and I dream of finding this in someone else and it sticking!!! 'And for the first time, what's past is past' hits different

The Moment I Knew: if I ever see Jake Gyllenhaal it's on SIGHT. This song is one of my faves from this album. The way she resentfully and exhausted sings 'you should've been here. and i would've been so.. happy'

Come Back Be Here: an absolute BANGER, I can't believe it's a bonus track. This is falling in love in the cruelest way!!! I feel that so hard during lockdown, Tay. Truly a timeless classic

Girl At Home: ........this song is cute but the subject matter? Hm.

I would give anything to have all of the unreleased tracks from this album because every single one we've heard so far is absolute gold. Better Man and Babe are incredible and I'm so so so glad she let someone else release them!!
