    A very underrated gem in Taylor's discography. I can't wait for the re-recorded Taylor's Version, it'll be so great to here the songs with a maturer voice. My favourites are A Place in the World and The Outside. The albums also contains cult classics like Our Song, Picture to Burn, Should've Said No and Teardrops on My Guitar.

    Um álbum cheio de composições countrys genuínas, além de mostrar o poder da jovem Taylor de escrever histórias e criar narrativas

    Uma obra de arte muito subestimada. Após todos esses anos ainda é possível que jovens da nova geração se identifiquem com a letra e historias contadas pela jovem Taylor. Ansioso pra ouvir posso a regravação desse álbum, para notar ainda mais as mudanças na voz e pra ouvir as músicas From the Vault. Tomara que i'd lie e Beautiful Eyes sejam algumas delas.

    Makes me, a Canadian, feel like a good little yeehaw cowboy from Alabama. Our Song, Should’ve Said No, and many others are incredible songs that deserve much more appreciation.

    Poucas pessoas debutam com composições tão coesas e profundas mesmo em uma idade tão jovem. Isso é o que faz Taylor Swift ser uma das maiores compositoras da atualidade, ser tão boa e dedicada em escrever músicas desde o seu debut. Sou grata por viver no mesmo século que ela.

    Muito bom o álbum, uma obra muito lírica, muito coeso, no lirismo muito suave, um tom suave das melodias.

    This album introduced the world to what was to become a global icon. She's a 10/10 and she knows it even though the fans are sleeping on her guitar.

    This is my least favorite TS album. But still it's better than Kanye West's whole discography. Can't wait for the rerecordings.

    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.
