Music Mayhem: Red

  

In this installment of our regular column "Music Mayhem," Morgan reviews the head-boppin' tunes stuck in her head this week. 

The much anticipated CD Red by Taylor Swift recently came out. Taylor Swift has won many awards in country music such as Entertainer of the Year, Female Singer of the Year, Best Single, Best Album, and the list goes on. All of her previous albums Taylor Swift, Fearless, and Speak Now have all had number one songs on them. Taylor Swift continues to sell out concerts all over the world. Her new album Red was expected to do amazing in sales but it over exceeded what it was expected to do. Previously Taylor Swift’s albums were put into the country music category. Still Red is considered a country album but many people argue that the album is more of a pop CD.  The first single from Red, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” has continued to get stuck in everyone’s heads that listen to it or even read the title.  The catchy verse, also the title, “we are never ever getting back together” has everyone singing it.  That is just one song from the album, the rest of the songs are just as catchy and seem to capture the idea of all of Swift’s ex-boyfriends. Bashing on what went wrong in the relationship is the idea of almost all the songs on the album.
