Taylor Swift was joyfully exclaiming you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess. That's more like it. After all, this is a girl who's into kissing in the rain and making every romance breakup a big Hollywood production.
The 18-year-old country-pop superstaTaylor Swift came out of nowhere two years ago with her self-titled debut CD, which was stuffed with a bunch of songs about boys who pissed her off - when they weren't busy ignoring her. Typical high-school stuff, but way smarter than scrawling initials inside of a broken heart.
When they're not being abusive or breaking Swift's heart, they're still not paying attention to her. she sings on the hooky "You Belong With Me."
Taylor Swift wrote or co-wrote all 13 songs on Fearless. And things haven't changed much over the past two years. Fame sure hasn't gone to her head. She pens songs to her best friend, her mom and dad of course the guys who've been in and out of her life since she became a star.
Taylor Swift co-produced Fearless with Nathan Chapman, who balances the album's spot-on pop luster with occasional banjo and fiddle flourishes, just to remind you.Swift so much more than a genre-crossing cutie with boy problems. Song for song, there isn't a better album this year than Fearless. And right now.
