    The debut album of Taylor Swift really encapsulates the beginning of the American singer career: a dreamy, young girl, looking for something or someone to attach to, not sure where to go yet. Since the beginning, on this album, we can see Swift's abilities on storytelling and capturing specific emotions in a relatable way.

Since the beginning, on this album, we can see Swift's abilities on storytelling and capturing specific emotions in a relatable way. However, as expected for a 16 year old girl, the lyrics drive in in childish and immature territory within a yet-to-grow production. It can be defined as a great start for Taylor's career, but not her peak, yet.… Expand

    Good debut and it has really good bops. Still i believe it doesnt have exceptional songwriting, production nor vocals, but it’s understandable for a debut album of a 16 y/o girl

    Swift came out of the gate sounding bright-eyed but remarkably seasoned. [December 5, 2012]

    A solid, spunky-yet-reflective country record told squarely from the teenage perspective.

    Taylor wrote or co-wrote everything here herself (including the hit “Tim McGraw”), and while the most immediately striking songs are her eviscerations of no-good teenage boys (“Should’ve Said No,” “Picture to Burn”), the more thoughtful material suggests a talent poised to last well past high school.
