Fearless is the second studio album by American country pop artist Taylor Swift. It was released on November 11, 2008 (see 2008 in country music) on Big Machine Records. "Love Story", the lead-off single, became Swift's third Number One hit on the Billboard country charts and her highest Billboard Hot 100 entry. Three other digital-only singles — "Change", the title track and "You're Not Sorry" — respectively reached #10, #9 and #11 on the Hot 100 based on downloads.
The album's first-day sales alone have totaled at 217,000. It's expected to reach 600,000 by the end of its first week, certifying it gold and giving it the best sales week for a country record this year.
Fearless has received universal acclaim, according to the site Metacritic.
Rolling Stone said that her "music mixes an almost impersonal professionalism - it's so rigorously crafted it sounds like it has been scientifically engineered in a hit factory - with squirmingly Confessions that are intimate and true."
On the album's release date of November 11th, Swift held the top 10 on the iTunes Top Country Songs list, while all of her songs were among the all-genre Top 100 songs.
