The 'Love Story' singer says she also named her new album 'Red' because she loves the colour.
Taylor Swift has explained the decision to name her new album 'Red' and says it is both to do with the emotions she expresses on the record and her love for the colour in general.
The 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' singer says she sees red as a "brave" and "bold" colour, and likes that it represents a lot of her emotions on the upcoming record, which will mark her fourth studio album release.
"Well, in terms of my album, it kind of signifies the intense, really bold emotions you feel when you're in kind of mad love," Taylor revealed to MTV News this week. "And I think that all of the songs on the album are written about those kinds of experiences that I've had.
"I think in general red is just a bold, brave colour," Taylor explained, confirming she always tries to incorporate the colour into her outfits. "I love red lipstick. I love red dresses. I love red shoes. Red is the theme of the moment."
The 'Love Story' singer added that all of her album tracks stand on their own musically, and are like a "patchwork quilt" of lots of different emotions and events that have influenced her.
