Taylor Swift Confronts Fear

Oct. 28, 2008 — Taylor Swift’s Fearless CD is expected to be one of the top new albums of the year’s fourth quarter, which puts a lot of pressure on an 18 year old.

That makes the title of the album all the more appropriate. In fact, the title got a lot of attention as Taylor assessed how she wanted to represent herself.

"Fearless, to me — I thought about it before we titled the album that, because you really have to make sure that it explains this body of work that you’re putting out, these last two years of stories that you want to tell," she explained to Suzanne Alexander on GAC Nights. "I thought about [what] my own personal definition of the word fearless is. And to me, fearless isn’t not having any fears. It’s not that you’re not afraid of anything. I think that being fearless is having a lot of fears, but you jump anyway."

Fearless will be released Nov. 11. On Nov. 5, GAC will premiere a special about the making of her "Love Story" video.
