This is the closest you can get to experiencing something you love for the first time again and while the fact that she even has to do this to begin with is infuriating, it’s very magical for the fans. Having the vault songs on there makes it extra special and considering how much technology has advanced the OG songs sound the same as the old versions but just crisper and clearer, without losing any of the nostalgia. A true young love masterpiece! Expand

    Taylor managed to reinvent herself flawlessly with the album. She redefined and outdid the well-beloved songs from the original album beautifully and wonderfully while keeping the old country charm the Old Taylor had when the original Fearless album was first released.

The six vault tracks in this album are a nice little treat for the listener; they feel like they were part of the original record as it stayed truthful and consistent to the pre-established themes and sounds of Fearless even though these songs have only been heard just now. Swift's vocal performance are excellent on this album, and the production of Dessner and Antonoff on these songs are outstanding. A must listen!

    Favorite tracks: Love Story, White Horse, Change, Forever & Always (Piano), The Other Side Of The Door, Don't You

    Supera con diferencia al Fearless original, mejor producción y la voz de Taylor suena mas limpia y entrenada, eso sin contar las canciones del baúl que son de lo mejorcito de todo el álbum siendo Hey Stephen la que mas me gustó de las canciones clásicas y Don't You de las del baúl.

    Taylor did what she had to do. She's purely the best artist out there. I am so proud she is doing this despite what all music experts have told her. The whole album is such a beautiful project, loved it in 2008, still love it in 2021 :)
    Suggestion for people who don't listen to her music much: the way i loved you (taylor's version), mr perfectly fine (from the vault) (taylor's version),

    It's a great album that talks both about feelings and things that can happen and anyone thinks. It is a masterpiece and deserves a lot of marks ... Nor should we forget that even though it is un álbum del 2008, tiene 6 canciones nuevas lo que hace que el álbum sea llamativo. Si tienen la oportunidad escuchenlo y comprenlo.

The title of the album fits Taylor better than it ever did - she’s battled her way through narratives such as ‘Taylor The Serial Dater’ and ‘Snakelor’, unfair policies from Spotify & Apple Music, and now the fight for artists to own her work.

Although I’m happy she is happier today, I do appreciate the real feeling in the song when you record it (not 13 years later). What excellent execution of adding mature vocals while not changing the country twang, adding happiness and growth and maturity to these vocals but not losing the 18 year old glow. The new tracks: I understand why they didn’t make it onto the record but I’m glad I get to hear what lives in Taylor’s vault. It completed the era in a way I feel good we didn’t miss out on anything too wild. The Fearless track list we had is the correct Fearless track list. The new vocals are what we needed a decade and a half later. This is an excellent album with excellent execution. Good job. Also, shout out to Jack Antonoff; thanks for your lovely work! Expand

    The best time to feel nostalgic. This album gives a comforting, uplifting, and refreshing vibe during this time of a year-old stressful and depressing moments. She remained loyal to the original sound and instrumentation, though her voice matured, you can still feel like giggling over her laughter and cry over the heartbreaks she very well painted on your mind.

    Much improved version of already a good album. Fearless Taylor's Version proves that what has been holding fearless back were vocals and production and both of those were significantly improved on this album.

    Taylor Swift perfectly encapsulates the nostalgia of the times when she was just rising to her global stardom, yet just like the rest of her albums, Fearless sounds timeless.

    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.

    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.
