Red remains her best record as well as a pivotal step in her evolution , capturing a moment where she was on the verge of abandoning her country roots in favor of attaining pop supremacy. And while practically every aspect of her career is being newly evaluated and contextualized in light of these re-recordings, one that few are addressing is Swift's longtime relationship with the NBA — a relationship that predates her recording career and continues to the present day.
