Fearless 

Fearless is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The album was released on November 11, 2008, by Big Machine Records. Swift wrote most of the songs during the time when she was promoting her self-titled debut studio album performing as an opening act for other country artists. Of the 13 tracks on the standard edition, eight were solely written by Swift, and the other were co-written by Swift with Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Colbie Caillat, and John Rich. Swift also made her debut as a record producer, co-producing all songs with Nathan Chapman.

Fearless is a country pop album that incorporates elements of crossover pop that commentators found appealing to a broader, mainstream audience. It incorporates acoustic instruments such as banjo, fiddle, and guitar in its production, and lyrically depicts Swift's perceptions of her romantic relationships. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who commended Swift's songwriting ability resulting in radio-friendly songs. The most awarded album in the history of country music, Fearless won Album of the Year at the Grammys, the Country Music Association Awards, and the Academy of Country Music Awards. The Grammy for Album of the Year made Swift, then 20 years old, the youngest artist to win the award at the time.

Fearless spent 11 weeks atop the US Billboard 200 and was the best-selling album of 2009 in the United States, making Swift-19 years old at the time-the youngest artist to have the best-selling album of a calendar year. The album is certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America for earning over 10 million album-equivalent units in the United States. Worldwide, it is one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century, having sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Fearless spawned five singles, including two successful crossover hits "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", which reached the higher-tier positions on record charts worldwide. Three other singles, "White Horse", "Fifteen", and the title track, entered the top 40 on the US Hot 100. The album's corresponding tour, the Fearless Tour, ran from April 2009 to June 2010 and grossed $66.5 million.
