You Can Now Own A Replica Of Taylor Swift’s ‘Red’ Album Cover Ring

To celebrate the upcoming release of Red (Taylor’s Version), Taylor Swift is giving fans the chance to own an affordably priced version of the ‘Red’ ring she wears in the album’s cover image (as seen above).

Inspired by jeweller Cathy Waterman and daughter, Claire Winter Kislinger’s diamond-studded ‘Love’ ring ($7,390) – which Swift received as a gift in 2011 - the singer’s custom album-themed ring is similarly made with platinum and precious stones.

The $60AUD ($45USD) version is made from silver-plated metal and cubic zirconia, and is available for a limited time here, with a range of other Red-themed goodies.

Waterman said, “If I could, I would tattoo my love on all my people, and creating the ‘Love’ ring was the closest I could get to that idea. It was wonderful that Taylor spent time with us, cooking and baking pies, and playing her new music, which made us feel a part of the process. It warrants being an unofficial member of the family.”

Kislinger added, “The collaboration is significant to me personally and for the brand as well. My mum has always said that the people she wants to be associated with most are talented, strong, hard-working women. Check. Check. Check.”

The original Red album was released in 2012 and featured seven singles, four of which peaked inside the top 10 of the US Billboard Hot 100: the lead single We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together topped the chart, whereas Begin Again, I Knew You Were Trouble, and Red reached numbers eight, two, and six, respectively. The album expanded her artistry beyond her previous country-pop style, and combined pop, country, rock, folk and electronic elements.

The album’s title refers to what Swift described as the tumultuous “red” emotions that were evoked from the unhealthy romance she was experiencing during the album’s conception.

Swift says, “Musically and lyrically, Red resembled a heartbroken person. It was all over the place, a fractured mosaic of feelings that somehow all fit together in the end. Happy, free, confused, lonely, devastated, euphoric, wild, and tortured by memories past. Like trying on pieces of a new life, I went into the studio and experimented with different sounds and collaborators. And I’m not sure if it was pouring my thoughts into this album, hearing thousands of your voices sing the lyrics back to me in passionate solidarity, or if it was simply time, but something was healed along the way.”

Swift first announced her intention to re-record her first six albums – released between 2006 and 2017 – in 2019 in an attempt to own the masters to her original music amid her ongoing battle with Scooter Braun. She began re-recording her back catalogue last November.

Red (Taylor’s Version) is out on November 12th.
