This is the platinum edition of Taylor Swift's highly successful Fearless album. Fearless Platinum Edition is Taylor Swift's fourth album. As with her debut album 'Taylor Swift', she wrote or co-wrote all thirteen tracks. In this album, Swift abandons any pretense that she's a teen without running away from her youth in a manner that's all too familiar to many teen stars. Swift's maturity is deliberate and careful, styled after the crossover country-pop of Shania Twain and Faith Hill before they turned into divas.

Most of the songs were written as Swift promoted her debut album. Because of the unavailability of collaborators on the road, Swift resulted in self-penning eight songs. Other songs were co-written with Liz Rose, Hillary Lindsey, Colbie Caillat, and John Rich.
