Taylor Swift Fourth Album 'Red' Released Worldwide On October 22nd 2012

Taylor Swift's highly anticipated fourth studio album will be released on October 22nd. Entitled Red, the album will be released by Big Machine Label Group & Mercury Records and contains 16 tracks. After writing her last album (Speak Now) entirely by herself, for this record Taylor collaborated with several artists, producers, and songwriters she had always wanted to work with.

"For the last two years, I've been working on an album called Red," Taylor says. "I called it Red because of the tumultuous, crazy adventures in love and loss that it chronicles. In my mind, when you experience love that's fast paced and out of control and mixes infatuation, jealousy, frustration, miscommunication, and all of those lovely emotions.in retrospect, it all looks red."

The first single from Red, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," (written by Taylor Swift, Max Martin, Shellback) has already reached no. 1 on iTunes in 25 countries.

In 2010 she became the youngest artist in history to win a Grammy award for 'Album of The Year'. Two years later, Swift became the youngest Billboard Awards 'Woman of the Year' winner in history.
