It's the RED season. And I am never ever getting over this, like ever!
Swifties, you know the drill. Only two days left and we are about to dive into a “fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end” as Taylor Swift described the much-awaited Red (Taylor’s Version) album on her announcement post last June. To prepare yourselves for reliving and reigniting the feels of this familiar era in burning red, we have listed some pre-album listening rituals that you might want to try.
Cancel all your plans and consider the release day a holiday!

Pick a classic red lipstick to wear to your listening party.
At dahil lalabas na ang RED album ni Taylor Swift. Inunahan na ng ating mamang ina ang kanyang version ng RED album. Sabi nga niya sa 'How to look sosyal' episode "RED LIPSTICK. BECAUSE ROSES ARE RED, VIOLETS ARE BLUE. PAG GIPIT KA NA TAWAG KA NA NG SUGAR DADDY MO."@pipaykipayy pic.twitter.com/Rcx3Nu8bL3

From decoding jumbled phrases that turned out to be a crossword puzzle full of never-heard-before tracks and featured artists, to analyzing every single detail from teasers and posts leading to the release of the album, the long wait will soon be over. Red (Taylor’s Version) will finally be heard this November 12 as Taylor’s second re-recorded album, following Fearless (Taylor’s Version) which was released back in April of this year.
I don’t know about you but being able to relive the red era and all the upcoming re-releases of her previous albums is such a win for me and all the Swifties out there. It’s like 2012 all over again, but better! I can’t wait to experience and watch it all begin again.
