Defector Music Club Gets Back Together For Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’

This is Defector Music Club, where a number of our writers get together to dish about an album. In honor of Reds Week, we’re discussing Taylor Swift’s 2012 pop-rock hit Red.

Patrick Redford: I can’t be the only one whose strongest and first thought about Red is that there’s a sound at the end of the first synth swell in “I Knew You Were Trouble” that sounds just like the jail-cell door slamming closed in Akon’s “Locked Up,” right?

Lauren Theisen: I primarily remember the screaming goat remix.
