Pennsylvania born Taylor Swift is still climbing the charts with her new album "Fearless". Released in November 2008, the album folows her hot album "Taylor Swift". The a lbum is filled with songs about love and loss. The catchy "Love Story" is Taylor's take on Shakesbere's classic Romeo and Juliet. Taylor gives the story a happy ending with Romeo and Juliet getting married instead of dying, "Marry me Juliet you'll never have to be alone. I love you and that's all I really know. I talked to your dad girl pick out a white dress. It's love story baby just say... Yes." "You Belong with Me" is about a girl who has a crush on her guy friend who never catches on. The song is very similar to her smash "Tear Drops on my Guitar", but while Teardrops is sad "You Belong with me" is upbeat and happy. She is saying, "Hey handsome and stupid I'm over here!" instead of "Gee, why don't you ever notice me?" She exclaims, "...dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find that what your looking for has been here the whole time. If you could see that I'm the one who understands you, been here all along so why can't you see, you belong with me". In "The Way I Love You" she talks about having the perfect boyfriend and not being happy, "I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain. It's 2 A.M. and I'm cursing your name, so in love that act insane. And that's the way I love you" It's an interesting story that breaks free from the usual "my boyfriend is so not perfect" songs out there. She expresses a different kind of love in "The Best Day" when she describes a the love between a father and daughter, a truly touching song.
"Fearless" is an amazing album filled with amzing songs. Its clear that Swift puts a lot of herself into her music. The songs are well written as well as beutifully performed. Swift fans, country fans, and pop fans everywhere will be listening to this album "Forever and Always".
