The original 2012 version of Red was the transitional record where the country-esque Taylor Swift of early days began sharing space with the "pop" Taylor we all know and love today. So it's particularly interesting, from an academic standpoint, to see where the pop Taylor of 2021 approached that nearly 10-year-old record through fresh eyes when it came time to re-record the entire album as an act of revenge against Scooter Braun.

She brought a lot of fresh material into the fray, too. The four-disc, 130-minute "Taylor's Version" of Red incorporates a re-recorded take of the charity single "Ronan," nine "from the vault" cuts, six more unreleased tunes, a 10-minute version of "All Too Well" and a couple of songs -- "Better Man" and "Babe" -- that she'd written for other artists but never recorded herself. So it's good value for your money on top of the intellectual exercise of hearing how the 30-something Taylor Swift revisits material she wrote in her early 20s.
