Rock Out: Taylor Swift, RED
It’s possible—probable, even, given that the anthemic “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” set the record for the biggest digital sales week ever for a female artist—that **Taylor Swift’**s new singles have already made their way onto your playlists. But the full album, RED, becomes available a week from today, and the eclectic mix shows that America’s sweetheart has gotten a little edgier (imagine a Fearless-era Swift citing dubstep among her influences). For purists, though, fret not: Swift’s staples—reminiscences on romance and breakups laced with wicked hooks—are in ample supply.
Taylor Swift’s new album, RED_, will be released October 22._
