Red (Taylor Swift album)

  • ... that the title of the Red album by Taylor Swift refers to the tumultuous "red" emotions that were evoked from the unhealthy romance she was experiencing during the album's conception? Source: [1] "Swift, clad in a red dress and red lipstick, started the chat off by explaining her album’s title: “All the different emotions that are written about on this album are all pretty much about the kind of tumultuous, crazy, insane, intense, semi-toxic relationships that I’ve experienced in the last two years. All those emotions — spanning from intense love, intense frustration, jealousy, confusion, all of that — in my mind, all those emotions are red. You know, there’s nothing in between. There’s nothing beige about any of those feelings.” "

    • ALT6:... that American singer and actress Lauren Alaina cited Taylor Swift's album Red as an album that changed her life? Source: [8] "I remember when Taylor Swift’s album, ‘Red’ came out. I was like, "This album has changed my life." It was so well written and she was so young. You had a little bit of everything you needed on there. Love songs, breakup songs, everything. One of the best country songs I’ve ever heard that is so beautifully written is Cole Swindell’s song ‘Break Up In The End’. In the last year, I went through a really bad breakup. I actually heard the song before we broke up but I would go through that relationship again because I learned so much from it."
