The album's lead single, "Love Story", was Swift's first song to achieve commercial success outside of the United States. It reached number one in Australia, number three in New Zealand,[7] and number two in the United Kingdom and become one of the best-selling singles in the United States The album's third single, "You Belong with Me", became her biggest domestic hit, peaking at number two on the Billboard Hot 100.[8] The album itself topped the Billboard 200 for 11 non-consecutive weeks and topped the Billboard Top Country Albums for 35 non-consecutive weeks. The album was later re-released on October 26, 2009, as Fearless: Platinum Edition with six additional new songs.[9]
At the 52nd Grammy Awards, Fearless won the Grammy Award for Album of the Year and Best Country Album.[10] Her Album of the Year win made her the youngest person ever at the age of 20 to receive that award, thereby eclipsing Alanis Morissette's win for Jagged Little Pill at the age of 21. Fearless was also the first album in history to win the American Music Award (AMA), Academy of Country Music Award (ACM), Country Music Association Award (CMA), and Grammy Award for Album of The Year in the same year making it the most awarded album in the history of country music.[11]

 

Critical reception

Fearless has been well received by music professionals, with many praising Swift for her introspective lyrics, as well as her mature sound. According to the music review aggregator Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received an average score of 73 out of 100, indicating "generally favorable reviews".[20] Newsday gave the album an "A" rating, calling it "wise beyond her years".[21] James Reed of the Boston Globe also gave the album a strong review, saying the "Young country star's 'Fearless' proves she's just that, and more".[15] Allmusic quote the way Swift writes her music and how she matured into her new album: "Swift's gentle touch is as enduring as her song craft, and this musical maturity may not quite jibe with her age but it does help make Fearless one of the best mainstream pop albums of 2008."[22] Rolling Stone magazine said that her "music mixes an almost impersonal professionalism - it's so rigorously crafted it sounds like it has been scientifically engineered in a hit factory - with confessions that are squirmingly intimate and true."[19] The album was listed as the 39th best album of 2008 by Rolling Stone.[23]

 

Chart performance

Fearless sold 592,000 copies in the United States its first week—the largest sum for a country album since Eagles' Long Road Out of Eden in November 2007.[2] Of those 592,000 copies, 129,000 were digital copies—the fourth biggest week for a digital album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking them in 2004.[2] In July 2009, Fearless was announced as the top-selling album of the first half of 2009 in the United States.[24] Fearless has eventually been certified 6x Platinum by the RIAA for shipments of 6 million plus copies.[25] As of the week ending on September 12, 2010, Fearless surpassed the 6 million copies sold in the U.S alone.[26]
Fearless is the fifth longest-running No. 1 album by a female artist in the Billboard 200 history,[27] as well as the longest-running No. 1 album by a female country artist in the Billboard 200 history.[28] As of March 2010, the album spent 58 non-consecutive weeks in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, also making it the longest-running country album in the top 10 in the history of Billboard.[29] This also makes Fearless one of seven albums to have spent more than a year in the Top 10 of Billboard 200, the others being Michael Jackson's Thriller in 1983–84, Alanis Morissette's Jagged Little Pill in 1995–96, Celine Dion's Falling into You in 1996–97, Shania Twain's Come On Over in 1997–1998,[30] Britney Spears' ...Baby One More Time in 1999–00, and Nickelback's All the Right Reasons in 2005–06.

Taylor Swift's Family Members

Taylor swift s father grew up in Pennsylvania and met his wife in Texas. They married in 1988 in Harris, Texas. Just one year later, Taylor was born and the family would never be the same once the world learned of their little song bird.

Father - Scott K. Swift (Born March 5, 1952) :
Taylor's business genius comes from her father, Scott K. Swift. Scott Swift raduated with a business degree from the University of Delaware in 1974. He started the Swift Group, a Merrill Lynch Financial Advisory Team. Swift overseas the research and investment strategy for the Swift Group's million asset base. Swift began the Swift Group near his family's original home in Pennsylvania, but opened a new office in Nashville, Tennessee when Taylor earned her first country music recording contract with RCA records.

Taylor's doting father used his business contacts to offer a boost to his talented daughter's career. His close friendship with Michael DiMuzio, facilities manager for the Philadelphia Phillies, through their glory days as business students at the University of Delaware helped earn Taylor the opportunity to sing the National Anthem for the Philadelphia Phillies at the 2008 World Series. This National exposure helped Taylor share her voice with music executives.

Taylor Swift Life Story

Hi, I'm Taylor. I've been alive for 21 years now, and I finally have my own kitchen. I'm very excited about this, and generally excited by anything else that falls into the "cute" or "cozy" categories. I learned to play guitar when I was twelve from this guy named Ronnie who came over to fix my parents' computer. I like quilts. But that's probably because I'm always freezing cold. I LOVE Nashville. That's where I live, when I'm lucky enough to be there. I love the town so much, I sometimes feel like I should just roll the windows down in my car (nicknamed the Toyoat. Because it's a Toyota) and scream "I LOVE THIS TOWN" loudly out the windows. That wouldn't be weird, right? Every time I try and wink at someone, I mess it up and end up scaring people. My lucky number always has been and always will be 13. It pops up in front of me in the most obvious and undeniable ways, but only when something good is about to happen. I'm a Sagittarius. I think that means I'm always looking for something new. It also means I have a Christmas-themed birthday party every year. I love bright colors and things that make reality seem more whimsical than it is. I have a collection of ribbons and headbands, and I love them all the same. I over-think and over-plan and over-organize. I've been like this since I was a baby, before I was gigantically tall and over-talkative.

These days, I've been trying to classify my thoughts into two categories: "Things I can change," and "Things I can't." It seems to help me sort through what to really stress about. But there I go again, over-planning and over-organizing my over-thinking! I write songs about my adventures and misadventures, most of which concern love. Love is a tricky business. But if it wasn't, I wouldn't be so enthralled with it. Lately I've come to a wonderful realization that makes me even more fascinated by it: I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to love. No one does! There's no pattern to it, except that it happens to all of us, of course. I can't plan for it. I can't predict how it'll end up. Because love is unpredictable and it's frustrating and it's tragic and it's beautiful. And even though there's no way to feel like I'm an expert at it, it's worth writing songs about -- more than anything else I've ever experienced in my life.

I've apparently been the victim of growing up, which apparently happens to all of us at one point or another. It's been going on for quite some time now, without me knowing it. I've found that growing up can mean a lot of things. For me, it doesn't mean I should become somebody completely new and stop loving the things I used to love. It means I've just added more things to my list. Like for example, I'm still beyond obsessed with the winter season and I still start putting up strings of lights in September. I still love sparkles and grocery shopping and really old cats that are only nice to you half the time. I still love writing in my journal and wearing dresses all the time and staring at chandeliers. But some new things I've fallen in love with -- mismatched everything. Mismatched chairs, mismatched colors, mismatched personalities. I love spraying perfumes I used to wear when I was in high school. It brings me back to the days of trying to get a close parking spot at school, trying to get noticed by soccer players, and trying to figure out how to avoid doing or saying anything uncool, and wishing every minute of every day that one day maybe I'd get a chance to win a Grammy. Or something crazy and out of reach like that. ;) I love old buildings with the paint chipping off the walls and my dad's stories about college. I love the freedom of living alone, but I also love things that make me feel seven again. Back then naivety was the norm and skepticism was a foreign language, and I just think every once in a while you need fries and a chocolate milkshake and your mom. I love picking up a cookbook and closing my eyes and opening it to a random page, then attempting to make that recipe. I've loved my fans from the very first day, but they've said things and done things recently that make me feel like they're my friends -- more now than ever before. I'll never go a day without thinking about our memories together.

For the last two years, I've been writing and recording an album called Speak Now. I only have the option of writing about things that happen in my life, so thankfully a LOT has happened in my life in the last two years. I know I don't always say the right thing at the right time or speak up when I should, but I write it all down. I get my guitar and a pen and all of a sudden, I have a chance to say exactly what I meant to say in real life. Some of the things I wrote about are things everyone saw me go through. Some of the things I wrote about are things nobody ever knew about. I'm beyond excited for you to hear these stories and confessions.

I think it's important that you know that I will never change. But I'll never stay the same either. Must be a Sagittarius thing.

I'm pretty stoked that you read this whole thing. I commend you for that. This was ridiculously long, and you probably have other stuff you could've done in the last four minutes. So to you, or anyone else who has spent four minutes on me in some way-- listening to just one song, or watching one of my videos….Thank you. I love you like I love sparkles and having the last word. And that's real love.

--Taylor
