Review:
Fearless is the second studio album of singer Taylor Swift. The album includes thirteen songs with tween-friendly themes. Some of the most popular songs include Fifteen, Love Story, and You Belong with Me. A number of songs refer to school settings, such as You Belong to Me which tells the story of a girl on the bleachers comparing herself to the cheering captain, who is dating her love interest. Fifteen tells the story of a girl in high school going on a first date with a boy who has a car. The song The Best Day tells the story of a girl's relationship with her parents as she grows up and mentions her at thirteen having a bad day because of her mean friends at school and how her parent comforts her. The song is a reflection of how important both families and friends are to tweens. These songs and many more are what make Fearless a great tween album!
Best Lyrics:
Taken from The Best Day
I'm thirteen now and don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names
I don't know who I'm gonna talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's gonna take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today
