How was the title for the album chosen?
In an interview with iTunes Taylor said:
The first thing I do when titling an album is I look to the music first and I look to the lyrics. And that [“Fearless” track] really stood out to me as something that not only describes the feeling you get when you’re in love but also the feeling I hoped to have putting out the album. You know everything just disappears – all your fears and anxiety and your doubt – and you put it out and you hope people like it. And I think there’s a lot of fearlessness that goes into love and writing honest songs about what you’re going through on a daily basis so I’m really, really happy that we chose that as the album title.
