Fearless Songwriting Credits by Taylor Swift

Fearless is Taylor Swift's second studio album, released November 11, 2008, through Big Machine Records. It became the best-selling album of 2009 in the United States, won four Grammy Awards including Album of the Year, making Swift, at 20, the youngest artist ever to win that award, and produced the breakthrough singles 'Love Story' and 'You Belong with Me,' both of which crossed over from country to mainstream pop radio. The album reflects Swift's growth as a songwriter: while she collaborated again with Liz Rose on several tracks, she also wrote several songs solo and brought in collaborators including Hillary Lindsey, Colbie Caillat, and John Rich. The album's emotional range extends from giddy infatuation ('You Belong with Me,' 'Hey Stephen') to bittersweet longing ('Fifteen') to quiet heartbreak ('White Horse,' 'The Best Day'), all filtered through Swift's signature first-person specificity.
