red.

"My experiences in love have taught me difficult lessons,

especially my experiences with crazy love.

The red relationships.

The ones that went from

zero to a hundred miles per hour

and then

hit a wall and exploded.

And it was awful.

And ridiculous.

And desperate.

And thrilling.

And when the dust settled,

it was something I'd never take back.

Because

there is something to be said

for being young

and needing someone so badly,

you jump in head first without looking.

And there's something to be learned

from waiting all day for a train

that's never coming.

And there's something to be proud of

about moving on and realizing that

real love shines golden like starlight,

and doesn't fade

or

spontaneously combust.

Maybe I'll write a whole album

about that kind of love if I ever find it.

But this album is about

the other kinds of love that I've recently

fallen in and out of.

Love that was

treacherous,

sad,

beautiful,

and

tragic.

But most of all,

this record is about

love that was

red."

-- Taylor Swift.

If that's not the most beautiful thing you've ever heard....
