On November 11, 2008, Taylor Alison Swift released her seconds studio album, Fearless, and so, the record will be celebrating its 10th birthday this year.
Fearless featured (lucky number) 13 songs, including popular singles like "Love Story," "You Belong With Me," "White Horse," and "Fifteen," among others. Like her self-titled debut album, Taylor co-wrote all 13 songs, with songwriters and artists like Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Colbie Caillat, and John Rich, all while touring as the opener for several country artists. This is also the album Taylor co-produced each track on (along with Nathan Chapman).
Taylor's second album topped the charts in multiple countries across the globe and would go on to become Diamond certified in the US. Fearless also earned Taylor two Grammy wins for Best Country Album and Album of the Year.
Throughout Taylor's career, by listening to every album she's ever released, it's clear that her songwriting abilities shine through. It's like she knows what you're feeling and flawlessly puts pen to paper to express them; because she's feeling all of the feelings too. Fearless is yet another example of that, especially if you grew up listening to Taylor Swift, or you're a lifelong Swiftie.
So, in honor of Fearless turning 10 this year, take a look at all the lyrics throughout the album that still gives you all the feels.
