Fearless was a basic, white suburban, vanilla high school record but it still ***** on anything the pop girls have released in the past couple of years.
And let's not forget it has the coming-of-age anthem/classic Fifteen
Because changing perspective in the final chorus was a songwriting trick she was overly reliant for a while and she needed to change it up.
Also, I agree with Val - y'all worship Fearless and Speak Now but those albums both had a distinctly YA-flavor. It worked to their advantage because Taylor was so young at the time - they were authentic expressions of that experience - but today all the fairy tale talk would read like arrested development.
Thanx Serfbort. You articulated my point perfectly.
