If you were to listen to any of the songs and compare them to the new ones, you can hear slight differences that add up to a whole new sound. The best example of an improvement in production is comparing “Fearless” with “Fearless (Taylor’s Version).” Swift includes hints of violin in “The Way I Loved You (Taylor’s Version)” to enhance the musical production of that song. Some aspects of the New Taylor that I personally love are her advanced lyricism, higher quality in production and versatility in genres.

The New Taylor begins at her fifth album named “1989” to her ninth album “Evermore.” The Old Taylor begins at her debut album Taylor Swift to her 4th album Red. I prefer the New Taylor as her newer music feels more sophisticated lyrically and musically to me however, I will never be against the Old Taylor. Many “Swifties,” the name for members of Swift’s fanbase, believe that there are two sides to Swift, they refer to them as the New Taylor and the Old Taylor. I am a part of the Generation Z and watched as Swift reinvented herself and her music nearly every album. Swift’s music career has progressed as Generation Z grew up however, her family base is not limited to Generation Z as those younger and older than Generation Z appreciate and love her music.
#TAYLOR SWIFT DEBUT ERA FULL#
Later in 2012, Swift graciously released the full album, which contains her popular songs: “22,” “I Knew You Were Trouble,” “The Lucky One,” and one of Swifties’ most beloved songs “All to Well.” “Red” was number one on Billboard and Swift received AMA’s Artist of the Year. The last album of Old Taylor era is album is the masterpiece, “Red.” Prior to the release of the album, Swift released the single “We Are Never Getting Back Together,” which instantly became number one on numerous charts and became the fastest selling single in history. She also won Billboard’s Woman of the Year and Entertainer of the Year by the Academy of Country Music. Swift wrote and produced many fan favorites including: “Mine,” “Sparks Fly,” “Back to December,” “Speak Now,” “Long Live” and “Mean.” This album accumulated two Grammys for Swift. In 2010, Swift released her third album “Speak Now,” which became the highest grossing album by a female artist in history. And if that’s not enough, she also won four Grammys for Best Album of the Year, Best Country Album, Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. Fearless won five AMAs and Swift won Billboards 2009 Artist of the Year. This album contains some old Taylor classics including: “Love Story,” “Fearless,” “You Belong with Me”, “Hey Stephen” and, well, practically the whole album is a classic. At the age of 16, Swift released her first album “Taylor Swift,” which most notably contains “Teardrops on My Guitar” and “Our Song,” and Swift won a Country Music Award (CMA) for best new artist.įollowing her success with “Taylor Swift,” Swift released “Fearless” in 2008, which was an instant success, becoming the top-selling album of 2009.

From there, Swift created her first big hit, “Tim Mcgraw,” which spent over eight months on Billboards singles chart. Image/ Īt the age of 14, Swift sang in many bars and small venues, where she was discovered and signed by record executive Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun. This album also contains six “From the Vault Songs,” with the single “Mr. Swift has undoubtedly changed the music industry forever, so it is important to note why she has rerecorded and released “Fearless.” In 2019, music producer Scooter Braun bought Swift’s previous record label, Big Machine Records, thus giving Braun ownership of six of her albums: “Taylor Swift,” “Fearless,” “Speak Now,” “Red,” “1989” and “Reputation.”Braun refused to sell Swift’s masterpieces, so she has now rerecording the music to have complete ownership of her own music. With the release of Swift’s tenth album “Fearless (Taylor’s version),” it is imperative that, as the generation that grew up as Swifties, we look back on Swift’s monumental career. Taylor Swift: 11-time Grammy winner, three-time Time magazine Most Influential, Artist of the Decade and Billboard Women of the Year, and those are just some of Swift’s achievements.
