It has officially been one whole month since Taylor Swift single-handedly made us all feel 13 again with the release of “Red (Taylor’s Version).” Who knew that in a lifespan of just 30 days an album could so dominate our Spotify Wrappeds? Not only is this new“Red” the ultimate girlboss-power-move of the century, it acted as a giant F-you to Big Machine Records, as Swift reclaimed her power and original lyrics from the industry. Her songwriting calls out the manipulative men of her past and gives listeners insight into her early 20s–in short: everything that we’ve needed this year.
To celebrate your personal one month anniversary of crying to “All Too Well,” here is a list of the Top Ten Places to Cry to “Red (Taylor’s Version).”
- An east-facing bench in Washington Square Park (to watch the skater boys, of course)
- The stoop of a Greenwich Village brownstone
- Cornelia Street (duh)
- In the Eugene Lang College of Liberal Arts Courtyard
- On the subway (we recommend the L for peak hipster men observation)
- In a University Center bathroom stall
- Pier 46 (live out your West Village dreams and feel the breeze of the Hudson River!)
- Arnhold Hall Library
- The Staten Island Ferry
- Strand Bookstore (the “Romance” aisle)
