Fearless was released in the fall of my senior year of high school. Upon revisiting this album it was incredibly familiar to me (besides the from the vault tracks of course.) It's hard to remember how I knew all the songs. I didn't have the CD, or the album downloaded to my iPod. I have come to the conclusion that Taylor Swift must have been so popular back in the day that I heard all the songs on the radio enough times that 15 years later I can still easily recall them.
For me Fearless really leans into the fairy tales and the fantasy. It's about being young and believing in whatever world you want to believe in. It is the space before the heartbreak. It's finding your footing and being curious and living in the moments. It's wanting to experience love for the first time. It's full of hope and optimism. And I love leaning into that space.
It is the space before the heartbreak...
I'm going to jump back into these songs one by one over the course of the next two weeks and talk about what they all mean to me. I invite you to share your insights and what these songs mean to you. At the end of the album we will reconvene and discuss favorite songs, favorite lyrics, how this album ranks and any fun other fun facts we come across. Thanks for joining me and for sharing your voice.
