    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.

    Deeply underrated. A solid pop-country debut album. Swift's artistry in lyricism is already identifiable at such an early stage, though no one from this could've ever predicted she would grow up to write ATW10MV or folklore and evermore!

    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.

    Obviously this is a debut album, and perfection should never be expected, but this album is close. The cohesion, and the lyricism make this a very solid country record. Taylor Swift (Taylor’s Version) will sure be a step up as the only flaw with this record is some marginal vocal performance.

Consigo ver esse álbum como um diário intrínseco e sincero dos melhores e ao mesmo tempo piores anos da vida de uma menina, a adolescência. Chega ser interessante como tem uma música para a maioria dos sentimentos exacerbados dessa época em nossas vidas: Tim Mcgraw para quando você perde alguém, Picture To Burn sobre o ódio que só adolescentes conseguem sentir, Invisible para todos aqueles que não são vistos da forma que gostariam, Tied Together With a Smile que para mim é uma irmã perdida de this is me trying e explora a mesma temática de não sentir-se suficiente. A Taylor começa sua carreira com composições boas e dignas para a sua idade e condizentes com o ritmo do álbum. Em resumo: com apenas 16 anos Taylor Swift em seu primeiro álbum consegue consagrar-se como pupilo da música country e mostrar uma pequena parte da grande lirista que ela se tornaria em poucos anos. O álbum tem algumas músicas ruins, que contém ou uma produção mal feita ou uma letra boba demais coisa completamente compreensível pois se trata do debut de uma artista country em 2006. Em suma, Taylor Swift começa seu legado em grande estilo e com músicas que envelhecaram muito bem.… Expand

Most of these songs were written when she was 11 - 16, but there is something about them that makes them sound very mature.

    One thing that I still don't enjoy is Taylor's voice. I know she was a new artist back then, but, man, her voice sounds a bit annoying sometimes, specially when she is trying to hit high notes; but besides that, I have to say this is a good first album. Not great, or amazing, or perfect, just good.    … Expand

    At 16???? Take me back to the creek beds we turned up,
    Two A.M. riding in your truck.

    He smiles, it’s like the radio.

    He’s the time taken up,
    But there’s never enough.

    I guess it’s true that love was all you wanted,
    ’Cause you’re giving it away like it’s extra change,
    Hoping it will end up in his pocket,
    But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain.

    This album was the foundation of Taylor's music career in country music which established her footstep. She went on to be nominated for the grammys as the BEST NEW ARTIST cause of the classics like SHOULD'VE SAID NO and OUR SONG. Its a timeless album .

    Todos sabem que esse debut, apesar da capa tenebrosa, é maravilhoso em todos os aspectos. É produzido no ponto certo, é cafona no ponto certo, e também é extremamente memorável e impactante no meio. E foi daí que conhecemos a nossa queridinha que ignora tanto o Brasil, e que desde então se tornou a maior do mundo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. With her debut album, Ms. swift knew what she was doing. It elegantly showecased her songwriting prowess. The album is consistent and stays to true to its country themes. While it may not be someone's favorite on the first listen, its definitely a grower. Apart from amazing Swift Classics like Our Song and Teardrops On My Guitar and Should've Said No, some of the other standouts on this album are Tied Together with a Smile, Invisible and Mary's Song (Oh My My My)… Expand

    The debut album of Taylor Swift really encapsulates the beginning of the American singer career: a dreamy, young girl, looking for something or someone to attach to, not sure where to go yet. Since the beginning, on this album, we can see Swift's abilities on storytelling and capturing specific emotions in a relatable way. However, as expected for a 16 year old girl, the lyrics drive in inThe debut album of Taylor Swift really encapsulates the beginning of the American singer career: a dreamy, young girl, looking for something or someone to attach to, not sure where to go yet. Since the beginning, on this album, we can see Swift's abilities on storytelling and capturing specific emotions in a relatable way. However, as expected for a 16 year old girl, the lyrics drive in in childish and immature territory within a yet-to-grow production. It can be defined as a great start for Taylor's career, but not her peak, yet.… Expand

    Good debut and it has really good bops. Still i believe it doesnt have exceptional songwriting, production nor vocals, but it’s understandable for a debut album of a 16 y/o girl

    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.
