As a part of Taylor Swift’s effort to regain her royalty on all her songs, she came out with her new re-released album, ‘Red (Taylor’s Version)’ on 12th November 2021.
The album has successfully replaced the old version with an incredible and more mature voice purposely to keep its originality of the songs.
Differs from the first re-released album, ‘Fearless (Taylor’s Version)’, this new album was polished for a greater improvement but stays true to the original version to give Swifties (Taylor’s fans), an access to enjoy the songs they love.
Iqhzam Khan, 22, who has been a Swifties for more than a decade was highly anticipated and amused when the new version of Red is out.
“This album is beyond my expectations. Her vocals are so much better compared to the old version and not to mention the additional tracks (‘From The Vault’ tracks) which are really worthier than the old ones,” Khan stated.
For Taylor to recreate her album, which was once a masterpiece back in 2012 when her career was at peak, it definitely takes a lot of talent and effort to be able to put all of her emotions into a song.
Meanwhile, Rohaizat, 25, who is also a Swiftie, expressed that the new rereleased album as a proof that Taylor has always put her best foot and resilience to go above and beyond in creating arts.
“Despite being in a healthy position with her current love life, it's amazing to see how she managed to bring all those emotions back and be in the same headspace as the one released a decade ago,” he added.
Organizing an album listening party is an usual strategy for album promotion. In Malaysia, Universal Music Malaysia (UMM) has organised album listening parties such as Reputation and Lover Album Released Party.
There is a massive audience that excitedly attends and is appreciative for their support of Taylor's career along her journey.

According to Rohaizat, the fans will blast Taylor’s songs out loud while singing together and play some games such as ‘Guess The Taylor Lyrics Game’ or ‘Name The Song Title’ during the event.
“Nothing can beat the anticipation of her new release music and since I’ve never been to her concert before, I’d say that the celebration of her new release music is probably the best experience as a ‘devoted’ Swiftie,” says Rohaizat.

The Star of The Album: ‘All Too Well (10 Minutes Version)’
The long-awaited song from this album was the 10-minute version of ‘All Too Well’, which shines brighter than the other tracks. The new version of ‘All Too Well’ was an intimate masterpiece that was beautifully written.
Taylor herself was more than excited for the fans to hear this version since it was the original lyrics before they had to cut it down to a normal-length song.
According to Khan, the 10 minutes version really emphasizes on the storyline and it explains a very devastating relationship that she went through and since the older version that song has always been very special to him.
