Fearless

Fearless is the second studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released in North America on November 11, 2008, and elsewhere on March 9, 2009, through Big Machine Records. She wrote the majority of the album while touring in 2007–2008 and produced it with Nathan Chapman.

Inspired by Swift's adolescence, Fearless explores love and heartbreak using references to her personal life and fairy tale–inspired lyrical imagery. It features co-writing credits from Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Colbie Caillat, and John Rich. A country pop album, Fearless features acoustic arrangements driven by a wide variety of string instruments such as banjos, fiddles, mandolins, and electric guitars. Its songs follow the standard verse–chorus–bridge form with dynamic bridges and choruses.
