The biggest Taylor Swift fans came out big time to celebrate the big release of the re-recorded version of her album, Red, with a big party at Big Night Live in Boston, on Friday night.

The Fangirl Fantasy company, born here in Boston, and founded by Julie Russell, describes itself as "The Ultimate Fangirl Experience."  Fangirl organized an event billed as "Taylor Swift vs Olivia Rodrigo." Needless to say, fans were ready to paint this town Red and filled the house. The nearly 2000 fans at Big Night Live "danced the night away.

In order to take full ownership of her music catalog, Swift is re-recording and re-releasing her first 6 albums. The move followed a legal dispute with her former label and management.

When Taylor originally released Red in 2012, I had the great fortune of being able to interview her about the album.
