Her first album, Taylor Swift (2000) had a small-town country sound. Throughout the years, Swift’s music genres have evolved. According to Swift, she would have normally waited to release the sixteen-track album (which includes a seventeenth bonus track) but the pandemic reminded her that “nothing is guaranteed.” Īs events were postponed or cancelled due to the coronavirus, Swift didn’t waste her time-she instead wrote her next album.įolklore, her eight studio album, was unexpectedly announced only 16 hours before it dropped on July 24 at midnight. She was also going to be the 2020 Glastonbury Festival ’s first female headliner since 2016. She was scheduled to perform shows across the globe as part of Lover Fest, a concert tour that celebrates her seventh studio album, Lover (released in August 2019). Although I failed miserably at trying to solve the puzzle on her Instagram story, which hinted at the song titles, my self-proclaimed “super fangirl” title remains after, yet another, phenomenal release.The summer of 2020 left many artists in unforeseen circumstances, with many having to call off headlining tours. Overall, I was very impressed with how upbeat and nostalgic the song was while keeping the country tone.įearless (Taylor’s Version) arrived so quickly and unexpectedly for me.
The lyrics are very catchy and the guitar in the background brings out the country that was intended. Perfectly Fine” reminds me so much of the older love songs that seem like they would be on Fearless originally. Some of these songs are “Bye Bye Baby,” “We Were Happy,” and my favorite “From The Vault” song, “Mr. The “From The Vault” songs are saved, unreleased songs that Swift re-recorded. Braun and Swift have a rocky relationship, so as a wonderfully petty move to the three, she’s re-recording the first six of her albums to reclaim ownership.Īlso included on Fearless (Taylor’s Version) are several “From The Vault” songs, as she calls them. Big Machine owned all of Swift’s master recordings and sold them to Scooter Braun, which then sold them to a private equity group. Swift’s idea to re-record her hit album Fearless years later stemmed from her record label, Big Machine. Perfectly Fine” was while keeping the country tone. ” Overall, I was very impressed with how upbeat and nostalgic “Mr. With over a decade of practice and maturity, Swift showcased the growth she’s made primarily on this album compared to her last two. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) has a more mature tone to it compared to the classic Fearless. The same energy goes for the rest of both albums. Swift was 18 when Fearless was released, so her voice sounds younger and doesn’t execute the same energy as the 2021 version. The singing on the original “The Way I Loved You” was quiet, and doesn’t catch my attention like the way the 2021 version did. For example, my favorite song from the album, “The Way I Loved You” sounds nothing like the 2008 version. Though the song titles are the same, the 20 versions are very different. Firstly, every song on Fearless (Taylor’s Version) has the same name as her 2008 release Fearless, which explains why the album titles are also the same. With 26 songs on the album, there’s a lot to unpack and process. Swift’s last two albums have had a very soft tone and smooth singing-it felt very refreshing to hear her venture back to her old country music roots. She was genuine with her singing rather than covering up her talent with autotune and other voice filters. The whole album felt original and unforced. With Fearless (Taylor’s Version) - her most recent album- she revamped some of her older classics like “Fifteen,” “Love Story,” and “You Belong With Me.” Although the songs were perfect when she wrote and released them all those years ago, having a modern-day Swift version forced me to take a trip down memory lane and feel nothing but love and nostalgia. When Taylor announced plans to release more music back in 2019, I never expected three albums all in roughly eight months: folklore, evermore, and Fearless (Taylor’s Version).īoth folklore and evermore struck me with excitement at just how good Swift’s vocals are and how talented she truly is. At one point, I owned CDs of all her albums and would play them religiously. I am the epitome of “super fangirl” when any Taylor Swift song happens to be playing.
