Sept. 26, 2008 — Taylor Swift’s Fearless album is one of the most anticipated projects of the fall release season, and she’s taken steps to ensure that when fans get the CD in their hands, it will represent her vision.
She wrote or co-wrote every song in the package, and she’s concerned with every detail, both sonically and visually.
"I've got so much control over how the next album is gonna look," she told Dial-Global. "I sit down and I have all these pictures that I've gotten online that I wanna use as references... just the moods and the themes for each photo set up... I want there to be a definite mood for each photo set up. And I think that giving people something to really look at that tells a story inside the album booklet is something that I'm really trying to do, and I can't even wait."
The wait won’t be too long. Just a little over six weeks from now, Fearless will be released on Nov. 11, the day before the 42nd annual Country Music Association Awards. Taylor’s in the running that day for Female Vocalist of the Year.
