I didn't listen to Fearless, Speak Now or the self-titled ALL the way through until late 2013 though.
I dunno why, but it seems like since Red stuff started SO much more stans like us. This will be big era.
Edit: Your swift edit beherebynow
It wasn't RED that converted me as a full stan, it was the way she styled herself last year I was so happy she has ditched the granny summer dresses that she liked to wear prior to 2013

Red was the first album of any artist I ever listened to all the way through.
I liked the debut and considered myself a 'fan' during that era, but I didn't become a stan until Fearless. I'll never forget listening to it for the first time and being slayed by almost every song. I tried to make my mom listen to it but she was like, "That's that girl who can't sing live?! I only stan for talent" and wouldn't listen to her
Taylor Swift
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”

Though Taylor Swift’s 2012 hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” contained the most artistic uses of “What?!” and “Like, ever” in recorded history, it’s notable for plenty of other reasons. Serving as the centerpiece of Red—Swift’s best, most balanced record to date—“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” signified Swift’s bid for universal domination, enlisting golden-touch pop producers Max Martin and Shellback to gild her bratty bombshell. Though it’s a cupcake of a single—and don’t mind me getting a little self-conscious here—Swift aimed for the jugular: “I'm really gonna miss you picking fights/ And me falling for it screaming that I'm right/ And you would hide away and find your peace of mind/ With some indie record that's much cooler than mine.” Other songs on Red successfully channeled contemporary sounds far from the traditional textures of previous, CMT Awards-dominating outings—think the dubstep drops on “I Knew You Were Trouble” or the surging jolt of “22”—but “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” exhibits the pure terror of Swift’s towering talent as a songwriter. A couple years out, it’s easy to see that few have landed the crossover leap like Swift did with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”. Like, ever. —Corban Goble
