One of the more positive reviews came from Billy Dukes of '' Taste of Country , '' who gave the track 4.5 out of 5 stars . Said Dukes : " ... ‘ Red ’ is arguably the best lyric on the album . It ’s a songwriting spotlight for Swift , who toys with colors like a skilled artist , and this song is her Sistine Chapel . " Estelle Tang of '' Elle Magazine '' named ' Red ' the 6th best love song of all time saying " Here 's one for those dwelling in the past : Taylor Swift 's " Red " is n't about a current love affair , but one that 's come and gone . Still , it captures the exhilaration of falling headlong for someone : " Loving him was red . " The song was performed as the third song of The Red Tour set list , and as the surprise songs for the first shows in Columbus and Pasadena during The 1989 World Tour and Reputation Stadium Tour , respectively
