Prologue

When I think back on the Fearless album and all that you turned it into, a completely involuntary smile creeps across my face.This was the musical era in which so many inside jokes were created between us, so many hugs exchanged and hands touched, so many unbreakable bonds formed. So before I say anything else, let me just say that it was a real honor to get to be a teenager alongside you. And for those of you l’ve come to know more recently than 2008, I am ecstatic that I get experience a bit of that feeling with you now that I can fully appreciate it in its whimsical, effervescent, chaotic entirety.

Fearless was an album full of magic and curiosity, the bliss and devastation of youth. It was the diary of the adventures and explorations of a teenage girl who was learning tiny lessons with every new crack in the facade of the fairytale ending she’d been shown in the movies. I’m thrilled that my new version of Fearless is with you now. This is Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and it includes 27 songs.

I’ve spoken a lot about why I’m remaking my first six albums, but the way I’ve chosen to do this will hopefully help illuminate where I’m coming from. Artists should own their own work for so many reasons, but the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work. For example, only I know which songs I wrote that almost made the Fearless album. Songs I absolutely adored, but were held back for different reasons (don’t want too many breakup songs,don’t want too many down tempo songs,can’t fit that many songs on a physical CD).

Those reasons seem unnecessary now. I’ve decided I want you to have the whole story, see the entire vivid picture, and let you into the entire dreamscape that is my Fearless album. That’s why I’ve chosen to include 6 never before released songs on my version of this album. Written when I was between the ages of 16 and 18, these were the ones it killed me to leave behind.

This process has been more fulfilling and emotional than I could’ve imagined and has made me even more determined to re-record all of my music. I hope you’ll like this first outing as much as I liked traveling back in time to recreate it.

Sincerely and Fearlessly,

Taylor

Also “I chose you, the one I was dancing with in New York” given that from what we can surmise their first date was in the city and seems to be a special place for them is just… her brain is so big with these mashups idk and I’m very happy for her and them

hello warriors the musical the concept album fandom!

i've seen posts/fics based on the assumption that Ajax is getting out of jail the same week, more or less unharmed. realistically, though, odds are she'd end up on Rikers Island- a notoriously awful prison located on a tiny island in the East River, which the government is still dragging its heels on closing. Did you know that over 700 women have filed lawsuits due to abusive treatment at Rikers Island, and more than half of the total lawsuits filed against the New York City government are connected to Rikers Island? It's such a shitshow that the NY branch of the ACLU is trying to get the place put under federal control so that there's literally *any* oversight.

in conclusion everyone in NYC hates Rikers Island and you should too!!!
