Taylor Swift presents a vinyl 4LP pressing of Red: Taylor's Version, a re-recorded edition of her 4x Platinum plus fourth studio album Red. It features 30 songs, including 9 songs from the Vault with lyrics for all 30 songs, never before seen photos, artwork and handwritten lyrics for the 10 minute version of "All Too Well." The re-recording of 2012's Red follows Swift's April 2021 release of a Fearless: Taylor's Version, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

"Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person," Taylor shares. "It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I'm not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way...This will be the first time you hear all 30 songs that were meant to go on Red. And hey, one of them is even ten minutes long."

"Musicians rerecording their back catalog following behind-the-scenes label disputes is an age-old music industry story," writes Rolling Stone. "But there is little precedent for an artist undertaking the endeavor in as high-profile a manner as Swift, who has leapt into this project with the big-budget ambition and creative fervor usually reserved for a blockbuster album. In doing so, she's positioned unromantic industry pragmatism as a retrospective celebration of her creative life: part die-hard fan treat, part legacy-artist archival reissue – think: The Bootleg Series (Taylor's Version) – and part told-you-so pet project."
