Different Ideas
Taylor has shown that she is trying new things with her music but is still incorporating previous styles that we all know and love. Luden Gbaye(‘16) said, “I think that in this album Taylor has become creative about her music since she is doing different styles of her music.” In this album “Red” it seems as though Taylor is experimenting new ways to make her music. Everyone is so used to hearing her country or soft pop songs but in this album she adds a lot of pop and only some country. Christina Allen(‘16) said, “I think that Taylor Swift was trying to stand out in this album. That she wanted the album “Red” to be different from the other albums she’s done.” Although most new experiments do not go perfectly, Taylor’s efforts to expand her musical talents were accomplished & her new album was a success!
