Hiya! I'll be reviewing this one. Will try not to screw anything up. Pamzeis (talk) 12:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Prose

• While being promoted as a country album, a number of tracks feature styles of — I'm not sure this bit is entirely grammatically correct. The beginning phrase (While being promoted as a country album is linked to a number of tracks, not Red. So this bit would be saying grammatically that a number of tracks were promoted as a country album.
• Swift finished writing "Clean" before meeting Heap in London — this bit feels a bit off to me, 'cuz it's not established before that Swift was going to meet Heap in London. I feel like it could use a bit of copy editing.
• including Arlington, Texas (April 1) and East Rutherford, New Jersey (May 28). — I don't think "including" works here, as those were the only dates she performed it AFAIK, but "including" is "used for saying that a person or thing is part of a particular group or amount"
• Like the rest of the album — not entirely clear what album we're talking about here

Sourcing

• Sources all seem reliable for what they're used for.
• Spotchecks (version)
  • fn 5: I can't find any mention of March or that she began writing the album on tour, only that she's "six months deep in the songwriting process for her next album". Could y'all clarify?

    @Gained and Ippantekina: Not sure whether this one's been resolved? Pamzeis (talk) 12:03, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

  I removed the part that she began writing the album on tour. Gained (talk) 13:45, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Other

• Question: does the body mention Its lyrics depicts difficulty in letting go of a broken relationship.? I don't see it
• Is there any info about the lyrics that can be mentioned? It seems it's a noted part of the song based on the "Critical reception" section and the omission feels odd. Obviously, it's not required if it isn't discussed that much.

Overall, this article's in very good shape and close to GA-status. Putting it  on hold for now! Pamzeis (talk) 12:52, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the review, Pamzeis! I have addressed your points accordingly and added some bits about the song's lyrics as requested. Please take another look and let me know if the article needs further work :) Ippantekina (talk) 03:08, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Second look

I've made a few edits here and there. I think that this article is finally clean for GA-status. Pamzeis (talk) 14:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
