1. State of Grace
A stadium-sized opener with U2-esque guitars that scream, “I’m going BIG.” Taylor’s in love, but it’s messy.
2. Red
The title track’s a lyrical kaleidoscope. Love’s a burning red blur of passion and pain. It’s vivid, twangy pop perfection, though the metaphor gets a tad overcooked.
3. Treacherous
A slow-burn stunner. Taylor tiptoes through temptation with delicate vocals over shimmering production. It’s sexy, vulnerable, and makes you wanna text your ex at 2 a.m.

Swift’s knack for earworm hooks shines, It’s catchy as hell and has a peak 2012 vibe.
5. All Too Well
A five-minute heart-wrencher about scarf-stealing exes and autumnal regret.
6. 22
A glitter-dusted ode to being young and dumb. It’s fun, frothy, and nails that post-grad chaos vibe, though it’s less deep than a kiddie pool.
7. I Almost Do
A wistful acoustic gem about resisting the urge to call an ex.
8. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Sassy, poppy, and peak breakup anthem. The spoken word “like, ever” is a mood.

13. The Lucky One
Taylor’s Hollywood cautionary tale. It’s sharp but feels like a diary entry set to music.
14. Everything Has Changed (feat. Ed Sheeran)
A cozy, acoustic love song. Ed and Taylor’s chemistry is warm, but it’s a bit too Hallmark for Red’s edge.
15. Starlight
A sparkly fantasy about young love. It’s dreamy but forgettable.
16. Begin Again
A hopeful closer about healing after heartbreak. It’s gentle, grounded, and proof Taylor’s strength is her storytelling.
