Liles, nodding back to the days when the artist directly named names, while вЂњ White Horse (Taylor's Version)вЂќ is a country breakup song that radiates perfect sadness.ДЄ day before the album was released, Swift sent a sneak peek to her вЂњkids,вЂќ Olivia Rodrigo and Conan Gray, who, like many of us, were raised on this music. вЂњ Hey Stephen (Taylor's Version)вЂќ is a gutsy, starry-eyed song a young Swift wrote about her crush on country singer Stephen B. The song was also remixed by Swedish DJ Elvira as the bonus track for this album. This Shakespearean tune is easy to scream along to and is the first of many literary references Swift will make throughout her career.

вЂњ Love Story (Taylor's Version)вЂќ was the first rereleased single off the album and is arguably SwiftвЂ™s most well-loved and famous song. The song now devotes itself more wholeheartedly to SwiftвЂ™s friendship with girlhood best friend Abigail Anderson in a touching lyric video filled with goofy pictures of the pair. вЂњ Fifteen (Taylor's Version),вЂќ sung with the matured vocals of a 31-year-old Swift, still blooms with the same innocence as the original, as she sings about first crushes, kisses and heartbreaks. The album begins with the titular track, вЂњ Fearless (Taylor's Version),вЂќ a pop-rock hit that empowers you to take a chance on, fall in love with and dance in the rain to this re-energized body of work all over again. Swift is still the same talented singer-songwriter glowing and flipping her hair on the golden cover of вЂњFearless (TaylorвЂ™s Version).' Though her hair isnвЂ™t as curly, she sports her signature bangs and, though I might be reading into the visuals a bit too deeply, is posed the other (right) way, the opposite of the original cover, perhaps symbolically. The Guardian called the rerecording effort вЂњa labour of revenge, but also of love.вЂќ Liberated from the greed of men making a profit off her intellectual property, Swift has persevered and begun a journey of reclaiming her past.

Swift signed a deal with the label to produce her first six albums, at only age 15 in 2005, three years before вЂњFearless,вЂќ SwiftвЂ™s sophomore album, was released by Big Machine Records.ДЇollowing a complicated legal battle with Big Machine Records executives and investors over her masters, Swift signed with the label Republic Records in 2018 and started rerecording her back catalog in November 2020. The personal element of the album lies within the pair of words enclosed in parentheses accompanying the album title and each song name: вЂњTaylorвЂ™s Version.вЂќ This album is predicated on creative ownership, legacy and a musical trailblazer of our generation taking control of work that is rightfully hers. Swift, a lover of Easter eggs and numerology, has given us a lot to enjoy and unpack in approximately 2 hours of wonderful music. In this new-old album, Swift doubles down on the standard editionвЂ™s number of songs, her lucky number 13, with a whopping 26 songs.

In 2008, I bought a CD of the Grammy Award-winning album, вЂњ Fearless,вЂќ not knowing that the music I would blast in my momвЂ™s car as an 8-year-old would stay close to my heart as an almost 21-year-old.

Taylor Swift gifted fans her first rerecorded studio album, вЂњ Fearless (TaylorвЂ™s Version),' on April 9, and in a statement on Instagram, Swift described the album as вЂњfull of magic and curiosity, the bliss and devastation of youth.вЂќ After listening to the album, I couldnвЂ™t agree more.
