Now Available: The Red Collection

Anyone who talks to me for five minutes knows I’m a big ‘ole Swiftie. I’ll be honest — it wasn’t always that way — and it wasn’t really until the Red album that I converted to a faithful fan. Red entered the stratosphere the day after my 24th birthday and it was truly a wonderous, glorious collection of everything I had felt during my early 20s put into words. I cried during All Too Well, celebrated during 22 and felt the magical calm of Treacherous and State of Grace.

Even to this day, Red remains one of my favorite albums. (Though I will gladly entertain Folklore as another option from Swift.) The Red album easily has the most hit singles and, hands down, some of the best songs Taylor has ever released. Even now that I’m 33, this record still hits all the right chords — and in new and electrifying ways. Hell, we even had the lyrics to Everything Has Changed featured at our wedding. Mike and I love that song, and he used it on a playlist he created for the proposal.

All that said, it shouldn’t be a surprise that I felt inspired to create a special candle collection to celebrate the re-release of this album. Since Taylor’s version includes never-before-heard songs and a total of 30 tracks, I came up with 30 exclusive scents that I have never made before. Each scent is designed to pair perfectly with the coordinating track number, so now you can smell all the smells while you feel all the feels.

Taylor, thank you for this gift you have blessed us with … we will continue to sing its praises for years to come.
