Taylor I love you so much, but I hate the fact that you think Red didn't win because you did something wrong with the album. That is not true.
I actually like when you throw in songs of different genre in the same album. It keeps the record alive and doesn't blend all of the same colors and sounds together. However, putting them sonically cohesive is cool with me too, I love it all. But because songs didn't go number one or an album didnt win an award doesn't mean you messed up. Some of my absolute favorite songs off your records are ones that never got very popular on itunes. Trust yourself, like we your fans do. Please don't let awards and producers tell you how to tell your life story and change the art you create. Order and cohesion can be nice went it comes to albums and songwriting, but sometimes madness and chaos can be just as beautiful. People don't feel emotions in a strict or controlled order. Life is anything but organized. Don't be afraid to embrace.

There was nothing wrong with Red. I think it offered a little for everyone. It probably helped with widening your fan base. I respect what you did. It was the first album I downloaded fully of yours. To be able to do any genre and sell records, kudos. Be proud of what you did, keep pushing yourself and enjoy every moment.
