With the recent release of her new album, Red (Taylor's Version), Taylor Swift has taken the world by storm, delighting fans and sending shockwaves through the music industry.
"Red (Taylor's Version)" is a re-recording of her 2012 album, "Red," complete with seven never-before-heard tracks "from the vault."
The album has shattered streaming records, becoming Spotify's most-streamed album in a single day from a female artist on its release day on Friday, topping the previous record, which was also set by Swift's 2020 album, "Folklore." Swift also became Spotify's most-streamed female artist in a single day.
"Red (Taylor's Version)" also includes the 10-minute version of "All Too Well," the critically acclaimed track widely considered to be her magnum opus. For years, fans have speculated that the song may be about actor Jake Gyllenhaal, who she dated from late 2010 to early 2011, although Swift has never explicitly confirmed this.
The album's release coincided with the release of "All Too Well: The Short Film," a 15-minute short film written by Swift starring Dylan O'Brien of "Teen Wolf" and Sadie Sink of "Stranger Things."
