    So much fun for someone like me who didn’t know TS at that time. Not much into country as I’m French but I truly and deeply enjoy it. It’s young and fresh. And so talented as well. Knees down to the Queen to be, then princess

    It's a great album that talks both about feelings and things that can happen and anyone thinks. It is a masterpiece and deserves a lot of marks ... Nor should we forget that even though it is un álbum del 2008, tiene 6 canciones nuevas lo que hace que el álbum sea llamativo. Si tienen la oportunidad escuchenlo y comprenlo. TAYLORD MERECE QUE TODO SEA DE ELLA NUEVAMENTE. I LOVE U

    Fearless (Taylor’s Version) isnt just an album, its a cultural reset, a masterpiece, the oxygen you breathe, a lifestyle, an escape from this cruel world, an art, the first gift you open on christmas, a hug from a loved one, it's everything you've ever wanted.

    Me hice swiftie en la era Lover por lo que aún no había escuchado este álbum completo, luego simplemente me decidí a esperar las regrabaciones, sin embargo me sabía los singles y un par más. Hoy lo escuché completo y lo amé! Por ahora estoy súper pegada con The Way I Loved You y no puedo creer que no la haya escuchado antes, y su risa en Hey Stephen es fuente de vida ✨

    Time and time again, Taylor Swift has shown us that her musical talent is like no other and on this re-worked version of Fearless, she’s shown it better than ever.

Swift not only shows her chameleon-like adaptations on this project, but also her advocacy for up and coming artists for example, Olivia Rodrigo and Madison Beer who previously didn’t own the master rights to their music but now do. The title of the album fits Taylor better than it ever did - she’s battled her way through narratives such as ‘Taylor The Serial Dater’ and ‘Snakelor’, unfair policies from Spotify & Apple Music, and now the fight for artists to own her work.

It’s a mature approach to the album that made us all fall in love with Taylor Swift. The difference I do find is there is less pain in her voice. Although I’m happy she is happier today, I do appreciate the real feeling in the song when you record it (not 13 years later). What excellent execution of adding mature vocals while not changing the country twang, adding happiness and growth and maturity to these vocals but not losing the 18 year old glow. The new tracks: I understand why they didn’t make it onto the record but I’m glad I get to hear what lives in Taylor’s vault. It completed the era in a way I feel good we didn’t miss out on anything too wild. The Fearless track list we had is the correct Fearless track list. The new vocals are what we needed a decade and a half later. This is an excellent album with excellent execution. Good job. Also, shout out to Jack Antonoff; thanks for your lovely work! Expand

    The best time to feel nostalgic. This album gives a comforting, uplifting, and refreshing vibe during this time of a year-old stressful and depressing moments. She remained loyal to the original sound and instrumentation, though her voice matured, you can still feel like giggling over her laughter and cry over the heartbreaks she very well painted on your mind.

    Much improved version of already a good album. Fearless Taylor's Version proves that what has been holding fearless back were vocals and production and both of those were significantly improved on this album. While Taylor having not been able to buy her masters was terrible and unjust it was a bit of blessing in disguise if it got us this album.

    Fearless is a great album but fails to break any ground that her albums Folklore and Evermore have. Although her vocals have matured on this version, it lacks the homemade and hearty feeling that the original gave. A pleasant experience but nothing extraordinary.

    Taylor Swift perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of the times when she was just rising to her global stardom, yet just like the rest of her albums, Fearless sounds timeless.

    Most obviously changed is her voice, which has strengthened and deepened over the years. Her choruses are a bit less breathy, and she glides into belting without sounding strained. There are micro-changes in inflection.

    Fearless (Taylor’s Version) states boldly, simply and perhaps, generously, that this is a story still worth telling – and a fight worth fighting.

    Swift largely re-creates the arrangements and feel of the original 2008 album, yet her voice and phrasing has aged, giving the music a hint of bittersweet gravity. That said, it's only a hint; Fearless (Taylor's Version) serves the purpose of offering new versions that could be substituted for the originals for licensing purposes. It's to Swift's credit that the album is an absorbing (if long) listen anyway.
