Fearless

Taylor Swift is one of America's fastest rising stars. At only 19, Taylor has just released her second professional album, Fearless. Taylor began her career as a country artist, and her first self titled album, demonstrated this. Fearless shows the cross over from country to more mainstream pop, with every song on this album worthy of airplay.

Taylor has a hand in writing all of her songs, and although most of them are centered around teenage issues such as high school crushes, her music is diverse enough to appeal to more mature audiences.
The first NZ single, “Love Story” tells of a Romeo & Juliet-esque forbidden romance, and has proven to be a smash hit on both the NZ and international charts. The upbeat country hit “Our Song” was written by Taylor when she was only 16 and was a single from her first album. “Forever & Always”, which Taylor wrote about her break up with Jonas Brothers member, Joe Jonas, is a personal favorite from the album, because of its upbeat chorus.
Overall personal favourites on this album would be “Love Story”, “Hey Stephen” and “Our Song”.
Fearless is a fantastic album, which will be enjoyed my many different music fans, especially those interested in country/pop, and is well worth a listen!

Taylor Swift's songs have what all great country songs do, which is great stories. Her music is easy to listen to and get wrapped up in and you find yourself really picturing the situation she is singing about.

Despite only being 19 Swift writes about life and relationships with the maturity of someone much older. I defy any woman not to relate to the lyrics of Fifteen, and The Way I Loved You rings a little too true about attraction to tumultuous relationships.

Love Story is the first single released off this album, but personally the original version rather than the Pop mix is the far greater of the two. The three songs selected from her first album would not all have been my picks of her debut material, but are all still enjoyable songs.

I would definately recommend this album to anyone who enjoys getting lost in their music :)

Taylor Swift is only 19, and unlike many of her age, sings from the heart, writes her own music, and is absolutely fantastic!

This CD is Taylor's second, although most NZers wouldn't know that, as she hasn't really hit our shores until now, and even then we aren't getting the best of Taylor on TV and radio. Love Story was a massive hit here and overseas, hitting all the charts, and the album is still on the charts.

Personally i think that this album is better than the first. Swift, as well as her music, has matured a lot and has really stepped up to the mark, writing music to match her pop and country chart competitors.

You Belong With Me is popular with young and old, and many people aged 15–25ish think that Taylor really knows what she's talking about, which appears to be true, as Swift herself has said that most songs are written from personal experience.

Personal favourites would have to be Hey Stephen, The Best Day and Forever and Always. All pop and country lovers will enjoy this album.
