♫Fearless Appreciation #8: because Forever and Always has a PIANO version!
 The promising follow-up to her mega hit debut album!  Taylor Swift has defied a lot of conventional wisdom. In the midst of a recording-industry implosion, she sold 3 million physical copies of her 2006 debut. At a time when Nashville is dominated by Stetson-wearing male singers in their 30s and 40s, the 18-year-old emerged as country's newest superstar with a repertoire full of girly songs aimed at teens. She is a blond, blue-eyed, amazonian starlet who — unlike nearly every other person who fits that description — writes her own songs, plays an instrument, answers to no Svengali and doesn't rely on high-priced studio ninjas and trendy producers. ..Swift is a songwriting savant with an intuitive gift for verse- chorus-bridge architecture that, in singles like the surging "Fifteen," calls to mind Swedish pop gods Dr. Luke and Max Martin. If she ever tires of stardom, she could retire to Sweden and make a fine living churning out hits for Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry. ...It's hard not to be won over by the guilelessness of Swift's high-school-romance narratives ("She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts/She's cheer captain, and I'm on the bleachers"), with their starry-eyed lyrics about princesses and ball gowns and kissing in the rain. ....And therein lies the peculiar charm of Taylor Swift. 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. ~ Rolling Stone(4 of 5 stars)  (^ deluxe cover) Boys, boys! Won’t you leave Taylor Swift alone? Can’t you see the poor girl already has too many teardrops on her guitar? Too late—all over her fantastic second album, the country phenom gets bedeviled by the boyfolk, making the thrills and spills of a two-week teen romance sound as torchy as one of Patsy Cline’s marriages. She is put together to fall apart, the kind of gal who applies her mascara with great care because she plans to cry it all off in the parking lot. In “Fearless,” she wails about getting caught in the rain “in my best dress”—like she’d wear anything else to go ride around in a storm. This girl likes to make a scene. ..once again, she wrote or cowrote them all. The music drives hard enough to keep up with her tingling pheromones—when she slows down for the drippy piano ballad “You’re Not Sorry,” she reminds you what a smart job she normally does of keeping the tempo jumping. ..."15” takes a big-sisterly tone to advise younger girls not to get hung up on marrying their freshman-year boyfriends, but that’s as much adult restraint as Swift allows. In “Hey Stephen,” she coos, “All those other girls, well they’re beautiful/But would they write a song for you?” Not as good as these songs, that’s for sure. ~ Blender (4 of 5 stars)  Fearless - Fifteen - Love Story - Hey Stephen - White Horse - You Belong with Me - Breathe - Tell Me Why - You're Not Sorry - The Way I Loved You - Forever & Always - The Best Day - Change Bonuses from the Deluxe Edition Jump Then Fall - Untouchable - Forever & Always (Piano Version) - Come In With The Rain - Superstar - The Other Side of the Door  Love Story (2008) ♫ White Horse (2008) ♫ You Belong With Me (2009) ♫ Fifteen (2009) ♫  592,000 in the first week...piece of cake!

Man, I was hoping 'You're not sorry' would be the next single but whatever.
Good news, supposedly 'Fearless' the single is already gold! __________________

I actually never really pictured You're not Sorry to be a single!
 I guess because like you said Preena, we got it as a digital single for CSI.__________________
