Though the sound of her music has evolved since her debut, the voice at the heart of it has stayed consistent. To chart her journey - from the country romance of her teens, to the imperial pop of her twenties, to the ambivalent ruminations of her thirties - is to follow a generation coming of age. Meaning that, for millions of listeners, she is not just another pop star she is someone they have grown up with, and who has grown up with them. (But in this updated version mixed in Spatial Audio with Dolby Atmos, the difference is clear: more warmth, more intimacy, more clarity with which to appreciate the deceptive ease of Swift’s songwriting.) Elsewhere, she revisits other juggernauts like “Fifteen”, “Forever & Always” and, of course, “You Belong With Me”, another of her biggest-selling songs.Taylor Swift was born in December 1989, near the peak of the Millennial Baby Boom, and has been famous since she was 16. That version stays remarkably true to the original track, though it’s hard not to notice how Swift’s voice has strengthened and matured in the 13 years since. Swift first teased the “Taylor’s Version” of Fearless with the release of a new recording of one of her biggest hits, the ode to youthful romance “Love Story”. Swift’s first entry into this reimagined canon is a new take on her landmark 2008 sophomore LP Fearless, which, among many other accolades, took home the coveted Album of the Year trophy at the 2010 Grammy Awards. In 2019, Taylor Swift announced plans to re-record her entire catalogue to that point, an ambitious move sparked by the sale of her original label, Big Machine Label Group, along with all of her masters.
