    Listen the classics songs, and also the new songs is a wonderful experience. I didn’t have the opportunity to experiment this in 2009, so I’m very happy to listen this album now. The production and the vocals are brilliant, and lyrics on the new songs, specially Mr. Perfectly Fine and You don’t are simple amazing.

    i can only say "CRIES IN 2008" even though i didn't know about Taylor Swift up until 2012. This version made me feel like i was there in 2008 when she released the old version. Well done bestie.

    I didn't think it could get better than the OG, but IT DID. The vocals sound perfect - SO much better than her fake country twang. The new vault tracks are honestly SO good I have no idea how they didn't make the original album. This has brought me right back to my teenage years. Most importantly, I get to help an artist make history. She deserves to own the rights to her art. ALL ARTISTS DO!

    It's amazing how she came out of the situation fearlessly. The album brings back so much nostalgia and is even better than the original record that won album of the year at the grammys because of the mature voice and new 'from the valut' songs.

    Fear Taylor's Version is everything I hoped for and more. It delivers in every single aspect, vocally, production-wise, and lyrically. It brings back memories of an album that defined my childhood, with iconic timeless hits such as Love Story and You Belong With Me, as well as new songs From The Vault. It's a perfect album that is so much more cohesive than the old Fearless.

Taylor’s voice has strengthen through the years which is noticeable on the notes her teenage self would’ve had to push to reach. Making the tracks sound even more magical and effortless. Taylor’s Version also includes 6 “From The Vault” tracks that were “almost” included on the original fearless. While I can recognize why some of the songs were scrapped due to not be AS lyrically strong as other Fearless tracks. Lyrically, they are still better and more cohesive than many other country albums. Knowing Swift penned these songs at the beginning of her career, they do simply blow you away with the emotional depth and story telling in the lyrics. Overall, a fantastic take on Fearless and an amazing addition to the OG album which claimed Swift her first AOTY Grammy.… Expand

    Taylor’s Version starts with the perfection version of Fearless, Taylor bring us to the 2000’s country music in 2021, and, you know, just Taylor Swift can do that.

    The way she was able to capture all the nostalgia and teenage angst is so amazing.
    The new Vault songs are all top tier as well.
    Absolute beautiful and creative work Miss Taylor.

    Fearless (Taylor's version) isn't just an album, it's a cultural reset. It's a lifestyle, the oxygen u breathe, ur voice when u can't speak. It's a gift from a loved one, a pat on the head, a warm hug. it sees u, it listens, and it loves u back. It's what u can call, a home.

    This is her redemption arc! This is the first step of her owning the work stolen from her and she did it with an almost exact replica of every masterpiece from the old version.

    Se puede notar en este Remake un hermoso salto de madures, logrando deleitar mis oídos con cada canción. Canciones como You Belong With Me dejaron de ser algo empalagosas para volverse unas piezas auditivas de arte.

    The album prove how re-record will turn into more cohesive. An amazing piece of nostalgia that brought back many memories, and the Vault's songs are satisfying to the ears. I am excited for her future re-recorded albums and her future release. I love this album so much!!!

    She's amazing! What a nostalgia trip, and what an incredible journey we have been on with her since her debut.

    One of the best & most prolific songwriters of all time, and one of the biggest artists of her generation. So happy to be a part of it!

    Taylor mais uma vez entrega impecabilidade em seu trabalho. A regravação de seu álbum "Fearless" foi estendida à mais 6 músicas inéditas. Taylor entregou 27 músicas e conseguiu nos prender à cada uma delas. Um trabalho longo, lindo e digno de mais Grammys.
    Bom trabalho Taylor, meus parabéns! Agora o ele é todo seu!

    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.

    Fearless (Taylor’s Version) states boldly, simply and perhaps, generously, that this is a story still worth telling – and a fight worth fighting.

    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.
