Rating songs from Red (Part 3)

Red is Taylor Swift’s fourth album, and it was released in 2013. She rerecorded this album in 2021 and named it Red (Taylor’s Version). This is the second album that she rerecorded, the first being Fearless (Taylor’s Version). Red is one of my favorite Taylor Swift albums and it includes some of my all-time favorite songs. Overall, this album reminds me of autumn and walking through a forest. This album is fun for me because many of these songs I loved when I was little and other ones I discovered more recently, so it is like a little time capsule into my life. This is part 3 of the review. “Starlight” 5/10- This is one of my least favorite songs on the album. I didn’t connect with the lyrics to this like I normally do with other songs. “Begin Again” 11/10- I love this song so much and it always feels very bittersweet to me. I love the way that she says “little kid” in this song. This song is always so good every time I listen to it. “Begin Again” reminds me of a couple from the
