Where were you 5 years ago, today? We were waiting anxiously for Taylor Swift’s live stream where she announced her fourth studio album RED and dropped the lead single and No.1 hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”.
Here are some facts about the album you may not have known:

We could add many more facts to that list but needless to say, the album has had many successes and is still slaying as we speak.
The album had a whopping 7 music videos including “Everything Has Changed (Feat. Ed Sheeran” and her summertime anthem “22”.
The album was also up for Album of the Year at the Grammy’s, and let’s be honest, it should have won.
