Actually, the stars that have the shortest life are the most massive ones, because the use up their fuel much faster. They may be red for part of their life, but having a huge surface area, they still emit an enormous amount of radiation.

The expected lifespan of any star is directly related to its mass; larger stars consume their fuel more quickly, shine brighter, burn hotter, and die sooner. Red stars are typically of MUCH lower mass than blue stars.
