Taylor Swift - "Red" Album Comparison (2012 vs Taylor's Version) 

What song do you think improved the most? Let me know!

I prefer Taylor's Version cuz of clean production and better vocals

When it comes to 'All Too Well' i cant choose between old or new. The old one sounds so pure, raw and it felt many stories about a woman who's heart just got brokened yesterday. Meanwhile, the new one sounds like a fully mature woman, who's looking back at her painful heart brokened memories from years ago, but sings it with a more brave & bold heart. Idk what to choose.. They're both sounds perfect to me

As a newer swiftie, I forgot that All Too Well was this old and hearing it in her young voice for the first time almost broke me dear god

ronan feels even more emotional now bc taylor is older and it sounds as if she's grieving her own child....

those transitions were SMOOOOOTH 😩😩😩

i heard somewhere that the reason why the "weEE"s in WANEGBT TV are so high pitched is cuz she originally wanted them to sound like little kids sliding down a slide, but her manager talked her out of it

I'm so glad she changed girl at home even tho now it sounds more like a 1989 track it's much better

Her vocals have matured so much and the TV version of everything sounds SO much better!! She also has clearer diction.

I prefer Taylors versions on all she has re-released coz I think her voice has matured just a bit more and to be honest I don't care coz I love all that she's done anyway ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I can honestly say that I prefer every single TV over the original :) especially Red, Wildest Dreams, Holy Ground, Stay Stay Stay, Come Back Be Here and Girl at home. You can hear how much love she put in the re-recordings.

Wow, they are all so close to the original but at the same time, so much better.

Taylor sounds like she is in tears singing I Almost Do in the original. I love how raw it is.

This video made me realize most of these rerecordings sound the same, its crazy well done!

I'm still not over red TV (the song), everything in that song sounds much better on the TV and listening to the original, it sounds worse than Taylor's Version, like even the Re-e-e-eed sounds so much better

I miss her lisp in Stay Stay Stay and how happy she sounded. Still happy in the remake but I can hear her uncontrollable smile in the original

Oh Man... This album brings me back so many memories from when I was 20. I just feel nostalgic 😢

i honestly prefer the og version of 22 because it gives a more freedom feeling

Aside from some bits, it’s astounding how similar the two recordings are. The five minute All Too Well on the re-recording sounds really odd to me though.

Awesome transition.!!! It made me realized that re-recorded and stolen version sounds pretty the same. I thought the TV is more raw and better.

I like 22 (Taylor’s Version) and I Almost Do (Taylor’s Version) way more because her vocals improved so much in the originals her voice kinda cracks

All too well is more powerful in Taylor’s version

I love both, I'll only listen to the ethically sourced version now but both versions are good 👌

i do prefer some tracks from the stolen one (WANEGBT im looking at you, and ATW 5min) but also prefer overall the re-record. ATW 10min SENT ME but also, i didn’t like everything has changed first but the re-record was an experience. overall im really glad tay got to own her music as she should.

her voice change after so many years i still prefer she old voice for specific song especially for the country style music. now i kinda feel like she has a deeper voice compare to the old days the voice sound brighter

22, WANGBT, and IKYWT are way better on the original, but all the rest are massively improved

The only songs for which I prefer the og are State of Grace, 22 and begin again I still listen to Taylor's version, but in my heart I still have that original sound 🥹

I prefer the Tv versions they sound so much clearer

i LOVE how I Almost Do sounds in the re recording, i never really listened to the original but 🤩🤩🤩

I really miss the dirty base on all too well. All too well will forever be an electric guitar song.

People talk about the taylor’s versions being more “clean, well just because it’s clean doesn’t mean you don’t miss it haha. But besides the bad joke, i really believe in that, some time has passed and There’s still songs I can’t say i like them… starlight, wangbt and holy ground specially, and believe me when i say that needed a loot of time for me to like the og starlight and then i get that re-recording…

The og version is so nostalgic but the TV is more better imo

I’m so glad you put Better Man!!!!

Everyone who says the old ones are better is deaf. Struggling to hit the notes isn’t the same as putting in emotion…

The clarity in the new recordings that better accentuate your voice, instruments, a more creative and balanced mix, etc. WELL DONE!

The Lucky One coming from an older, wiser Taylor feels meant to be ❤

Didn’t realize The Last Time have improved “ A LOT “ 🤩

Taylor’s version because it sounds cleaner although her old vocals will definitely give me nostalgia always

girl at home really got the upgrade she deserved

The Moment I Knew changed so much in a better way

I'm really upset with IKYWT final production. Her vocals are so much better but they removed the guitar riffs or something and it sounds more poorly , like stripped from music. It also more quieter and have some problems with loudness 😭

When it comes to “All too well” I prefer the old version

Stay stay stay is also very different. I do miss the country accent though.

Thank you so much,i've been wanting this since november ❤️

i prefer old treacherous, ikywt and all too well, 22 and wanegbt the stolen version like omg i don't know why tv has been released for 7-8 months now but i still think that they're much better, but the rest of the tracks tv is better than the stolen, i love the production of treacherous on stolen specially the 2nd bridge and backing vocals, ikywt production has the same + she put some bang/rocky like from the "the joke is on me yeah!" 2nd pre-chorus and the bridge pre-last chorus the long notes, all too well the stolen is just much sadder for me like since the wound that she has while singing that song at that time it's more angrier and sadder + it has more electric guitar and the drums are heavier than the tv, on tv she already move on it still hurts but you cannot hear the sadness from her voice (this goes same with tmik but i like the tv more than the sv) 22 feels like shes more happy on singing it since because of what happened when she was 21 + when she was 22 and the song really fits on her age at that time + it's more fun, wanegbt are just about the "weEEh!" part it annoys me sm on tv i always listen to wanegbt on stolen when the tv wasn't release yet but now i always skip wanegbt :(

gitl at home is the only nonvault rerecorded song that has been given a new production. that's one interesting twist in her rerecording process

for all too well i like the 10 min version better. i think the background music just makes everything feel sad. also i love that it’s so long

State Of Grace - TV Red - TV Treacherous - Tie I Know You Were Trouble - Stolen All Too Well - TV 22 - Stolen I Almost Do - TV We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together - Tie Stay Stay Stay - Tie The Last Time - Tie Holy Ground - Tie Sad Beautiful Tragic - Stolen The Lucky One - TV Everything Has Changed - TV Starlight - Tie Begin Again - TV The Moment I Knew - Stolen Come Back... Be Here - TV Girl At Home - Tie (Both have their own vibes, so i can't compare) State Of Grace (Acoustic) - Stolen Ronan - TV Better Man (FTV) - TV

Red original is pure nostalgia but the original has better production and vocals

All too well sounds amazing Taylor's version. love it!

That was awesome to watch the 2012 compare to Taylor's Version.of red.

The original will always be but TV is amazing! Much clearer vocals

Original version: Wanegbt and The Moment I Knew sound better Taylor's Version: I Almost Do, Stay Stay Stay and Ronan are the ones that improved the most

Im a proud swiftie! Waiting for speak now tv

I love the matured vocals!!

I love both versions

Red TV as a whole> BUT Red stolen version singles>>>>>

Kinda wish you remembered to use the Deluxe cover art on the bonus tracks for the og. But this is great work and the visual is so pretty 🤩👏✨

I can't believe i never noticed the voice crack in 22 lmao

Is it only me or holy ground TV is faster??

stay stay stay improved so much ❤❤

the original is a classic.

Taylors Version is so much better to me overall, we only win with these re-recordings, so excited for Speak Now TV

The old is better tbh has a more natural sound

Only original I like more is starlight but that won’t stop me from exclusively listening to the re recordings

In my opinion: Best Instrumental: Stolen Version Best Vocals: Re-recorded Version But Taylor's Version is still the winner

Red sounds SO different

Though her voice pitched down still it's beautiful ♥️

Hmm I must go with the original hands down. I feel like as an artist you can only feel feelings and display them properly once. Although the intention of the new one is amazing. Emotions just can’t be reproduced like that and Taylor is all emotion

I relly love her incomparable voice😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

anyone else notice the banjo going crazy wasn’t there in red (taylor’s version)?

I really love her all songs by idol Taylor ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ but my answer your question is song. ❤️❤️❤️ALL TO WELL ❤️❤️❤️

I love this

i might be crazy but does ed sheeran sound slightly flat to anybody in everything has changed tv??? it makes it nearly impossible to listen to the song for me and i’m sad bc it’s one of my faves from the album :((

She’s clearly a better artist now and using better production on every song, Taylor’s version is objectively better

I love Begin Again TV and The Moment I Knew TV❤ cuz The Moment I Knew sounds sad in OG, but angry in TV and I love that

i love girl at home tv because of the improved vocals and the upbeat music!!!❤❤❤❤❤

I Like Both, To Be Honest

the different is Taylor's version The song is more towards Taylor Swift's heaviness and maturity Red deluxe Taylor's voice is more towards the voice of teenagers and children

Better Man sounds way better. Is actually one of her best songs

i forgot how more noticeable the dubstep is in the stolen version. if that makes sense

If i ever get a glow up, i want it that to be like State Of Grace TV. Holy molly, the og feels like a demo now cause the goodness of the the TV

o modo que a ponte de red og tava sem vida alguma e na tv ela virou O MOMENTO.

22 sounded so like a phone voice memo but she delivered

TV can never match the stolen version of 22, WANEGBT, IKYWT, Holy ground, Girl At Home

the mix of the taylor's version is way vetter for sure.

22 and wangbt is soo weird on TV least staystaystay and begin again is listenable now TV is basically live studio version and somehow i can sing with it? OG was bit pitchy for me to sing

girl at home notably sounds different

the original vocals of 22 and we are never getting back together are still featured on taylor's version, also, girl at home at taylor's version is no longer country compared to the original

Pretty seamless.

WAITING FOR SPEAK NOW IN 2 DAYS

i like WANGBT 2012 version, i dont like sounds of taylor’s version im a critic swiftie

Girl at home really got that upgrade in TV

i knew you were trouble is so appalling 😭

The way stay stay stay sounded… bad in the original version and it’s so good in the Taylor’s version… wow.

Tbh I just don’t like the way she says “WEEE” in Taylor’s Version if We Are Never Getting Back Together in Taylor’s Version

I knew you were trouble SHINES on Taylors Version Better production, more harmonic and better treatment to the high vocals

Ngl i prefer both of them idk why i luv both of them

Girl at Home ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
