Its been 7 years since taylor thought love would be burnin red❤️ i love love love red album and it’ll always stay close to my heart. Thank you @taylorswift for releasing this heartfelt album❤️ @taylorswift @taylornation
THE LAST TIME IS LITERALLY ONE OF THE BEST COLLABORATIONS THAT TAYLOR HAS EVER DONE, I COULD EVEN SAY THE BEST BECAUSE IT'S HANDS DOWN A FLAWLESS SONG LITERALLY NO FLAWS
I went to the RED tour as an 11 year old girl who had never had her heart broken, and through the years, that album has been with me through each and every hard day over some dumb boy. I’ve cried to the last time way more than i’d like to admit for someone my age, i’ve had dance parties to state of grace with my older sisters on numerous occasions & i’ve belted out treacherous in the car despite the quietness of the song. Now, at 16 I have 3 new albums to listen to (including the blessing that is lover) but red will always have a special place in my heart and i can predict many more crying sessions over all too well... 7 years ago the album RED was born, and i know i am forever grateful. love you always @taylorswift ❤️❤️❤️❤️
“There’s an old poem by Neruda that I’ve always been captivated by, and one of the lines in it has stuck with me ever since the first time I read it. It says “love is so short, forgetting is so long.” It’s a line I’ve related to in my saddest moments, when I needed to know someone else had felt that exact same way. And when we’re trying to move on, the moments we always go back to aren’t the mundane ones. They are the moments you saw sparks that weren’t really there, felt stars aligning without having any proof, saw your future before it happened, and then saw it slip away without and warning. These are moments of newfound hope, extreme joy, intense passion, wishful thinking, and in some cases, the unthinkable letdown. And in my mind, every one of these memories looks the same to me. I see all of these moments in bright, burning, red.
My experiences in love have taught me difficult lessons, especially my experiences with crazy love. The red relationships. The ones that went from zero to a hundred miles per hour and then hit a wall and exploded. And it was awful. And ridiculous. And desperate. And thrilling. And when the dust settled, it was something I’d never take back. Because there is something to be said for being young and needing someone so badly, you jump in head first without looking. And there’s something to be learned from waiting all day for a train that’s never coming. And there’s something to be proud of about moving on and realizing that real love shines golden like starlight, and doesn’t fade or spontaneously combust. Maybe I’ll write a whole album about that kind of love if I ever find it. But this album is about the other kinds of love that I’ve recently fallen in and out of. Love that was treacherous, sad, beautiful, and tragic. But most of all, this record is about love that was red.”
