    Most awarded country album for a reason. The BEST songwriting. The BEST production for a country album. The BEST bonus songs. The BEST nostalgic feeling of reliving 2008.

    Brilliant brilliant brilliantly executed. The nostalgia is encapsulating and overwhelming me so damn hard. Only taylor can turn something so traumatic as having your music stolen to something so grandiose in nature.

    The way Taylor brought us back to our early teens days but still made it as fresh the time we first heard the album. Made me cry the whole time. This album is honestly the best one!!

    An absolutely well done body of work . Taylor takes old songs adding subtle new elements to the production that make the already brilliant even better . The new vault tracks are truly a gems , can't believe such lovely songs were rejected for the older version. Her voice is rich and mature ,yet the honesty and raw emotions are not lost . Truly amazing talent and hardwork. Fearless Taylor'sAn absolutely well done body of work .

    el mejor momento para lanzar una regrabacion de este album que trae mucha nostalgia al publico que lo escucho en la época de los 2009 es precisamente una pandemia, la voz de Taylor Swift suena extrañamente preciosa a pesar de la madurez de la misma y sus cambios a través del tiempo.

    although the original 2008 Fearless is already a timeless record, The re-recorded version has a greater, and a more mature vocals that makes the album better. For now, the re-corded album sounds odd because we are very much used to listen to the 18 year old Taylor Swift vocals in the original Fearless. but let time breathe out and the the re-recorded version will be a tattoo to our mind,although the original 2008 Fearless is already a timeless record, The re-recorded version has a greater, and a more mature vocals that makes the album better.

The extra 6 new vault songs from the re-recorded version is aesthetically and sonically a little bit different from the other original songs on Fearless. But as genius as she is, those 6 songs sounded sonically cohesive and fits to the album. The dreamy production style of Jack Antonoff, and the captivating strings that Aaron Dessner has used in the production makes Fearless a more magical album. Keith Urban's vocals in "That's when" is very much complementing to Taylor's smooth dreamy vocals. The album as a whole is a very much cohesive album for a re-recorded album and has a modern touch to the original production. So far of 2021, this decade old re-recorded album with the 6 extra songs is the best album out of all of the album that has been released. Well done Taylor, you did again..… Expand

    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 ✨

    Excelentes mejoras en la producción. Este álbum es la perspectiva de un adulto sobre su adolescencia. Las 6 canciones unreleased cuentan con una perfecta producción y la interpretación es magnífica.

    Swift definitivamente conseguiu realizar uma regravação melhor que a versão original de seu álbum, com ornamentos e vocais aprimorados, comparado à sua primeira versão. Suas faixas bônus dão um toque inédito de nostalgia ao álbum, que consagra os fãs mais novos com uma nova chance de vivenciar a era country da Artista da Década. Mas Fearless (Taylor's Version) vai muito além disso, esteSwift definitivamente conseguiu realizar uma regravação melhor que a versão original de seu álbum, com ornamentos e vocais aprimorados, comparado à sua primeira versão. Suas faixas bônus dão um toque inédito de nostalgia ao álbum, que consagra os fãs mais novos com uma nova chance de vivenciar a era country da Artista da Década. Mas Fearless (Taylor's Version) vai muito além disso, este álbum representa a força e justiça de uma artista autêntica e inteligente que, por anos, tentaram calar e sufocar em uma indústria canibal e misógina. Taylor continua provando que sua sólida carreira nunca foi fruto da inteligência de empresários ou gravadoras, mas somente dela mesma e da fidelidade de sua legião de fãs. Não existe um ser humano que tentou agir de má fé com a cantora, que tenha tido êxito. Com isso, Taylor Alison Swift, cantora, compositora, atriz, multi-instrumentista e diretora, agora também começa a se tornar detentora de sua própria obra, e mais uma vez, conduzindo sua história destemidamente com maestria.… Expand

    This album is amazing. It encapsulates everything Fearless is, the nostalgic feeling is unmissable together with her more mature vocals and it sums up as this big ball of nostalgia and rawness that you cannot get from the original version.

    I have no idea how I forgot to rank Fearless (Taylor's Version). This album is definitely one of the highlights of the year. To relive the Fearless era was absolutely incredible and getting to fall back in love with some of our favorites from 2008 was incredible and then we got to add some others.

This album makes me so excited for the rest of the rerecords, specifically for Red, which is my favorite album of all time by the way. I personally can't think of a low point because this album just was such an improvement over the original Fearless. Congrats, Taylor!… Expand

    One of her best album. She proves that a re-recorded album can still slay the charts.

    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.
