Red?is a portrait of a young woman eager to feel everything on her way to the top. Its songs are self-aware enough to be funny and guileless enough to be honest, capturing the temptation of risk-taking, the rush of memory and disappointment, and the transformative power of grown-up romantic love felt for the first time. The album gave Taylor Swift her first No. 1 hit (the irresistible “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”) and inaugurated many of her famously over-the-top marketing tactics: commemorative Keds sneakers, Papa John’s pizza boxes, weaponized tabloid gossip. Aside from her pop leanings, the chipper breakup-to-makeup story “Stay Stay Stay” and melancholic renewal ballad “Begin Again” would be some of her final acoustic-forward recordings of the decade. Soon after?Red, nobody in America could ever again plausibly ask, “Who’s Taylor Swift, anyway?” –Anna Gaca

《Red》這張專輯是對一位年輕女性的寫照，她渴望在通往成功的道路上體驗一切。專輯中的歌曲有足夠的自知性，因此也有足夠的趣味性，也因足夠坦誠，而抓住了這場冒險中的誘惑、記憶中的沖動和失望，以及第一次感受到轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)槌墒炖寺矍榈牧α?。這張專輯給Taylor Swift帶來了她的第一首冠軍單曲(那首讓人無法抗拒的“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together/我們再也不會在一起了”)，并開啟了她許多著名的夸張式營銷策略:有紀念意義的Keds運動鞋代言宣傳、Papa John披薩盒宣傳、利用小報八卦為武器的宣傳等。專輯中她逐漸從鄉(xiāng)村偏向流行化，輕快的“從分手到和好”的敘事歌曲“Stay Stay Stay”和憂郁的恢復抒情曲“Begin Again”將是她這十年的最后幾首不插電唱片歌曲。在《Red》發(fā)行之后不久，美國就再也沒了人會振振有詞地問:“Taylor Swift到底是誰?”
