The Red Tour
[3][4][5] To develop and produce the album, Swift collaborated with other musicians and artists, such as Max Martin, Shellback,[6] Gary Lightbody and Jacknife Lee.[14] The tour received positive reviews from music critics, with many citing Swift's atmospheric performances as a specific area of praise.Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield praised Swift's "emotional excess [and] musical reach", stating that "...[n]o other pop auteur can touch her right now."[17] In a more negative review, Rebecca Ford of The Hollywood Reporter stated that the intros before specific songs that, while "an appropriate fit for the audience," felt long and "brought down the energy of the show.""[18] Swift became the first solo female artist in 20 years to headline a national stadium tour in Australia, the last being Madonna with The Girlie Show in 1993.
