The Fearless tour was international and started back in April 2009. She often put her hands together in the shape of a heart in the concert (something she still does in the Fearless section of the Eras Tour to this day).
She performed with guitar in hand most of the time, and even had one completely covered in rhinestones. We know Fearless era for its gold, sparkly fringe dresses, big Romeo and Juliet style ballgowns and Swift painting her lucky number 13 on the back of her hand. The secret message was, “If we play these games we’re both going to lose,” while in the piano version it was “Still miss who I thought he was.” We know it’s about Joe as Swift confirmed it on The Ellen Show adding the detail about the short phone call. The song was written about Joe Jonas and was a last-minute addition to the album following their tumultuous break up in a 27 second phone call. Of course, we know he later betrayed her, selling her masters to Scooter Braun under her nose, so this one leaves a bit of a bad taste in the mouth these days.įinally, we get to ‘Forever And Always’, our first song about a celebrity boyfriend. Perhaps some of the most tea is ‘Change’, which is a thank you to her manager Scott Borchetta, CEO of Big Machine Records, the label that took a chance on a young Swift. Naturally, ‘You Belong With Me’ is about a friend she fancied who fell for someone else and the secret message was, “Love was blind so you couldn’t see me.” ‘The Best Day’ is dedicated to her mother and the secret message is, “God bless Andrea Swift.” The secret messages for these songs are “Guess I was fooled by your smile” and “We can’t go back,” respectively. It’s possible that ‘Tell Me Why’ (where Swift begs an explanation to why a boy treats her so badly) and ‘The Way I Loved You’ (about being in a new and happy relationship but missing the passion and toxicity of an old one) also reference the same bad boy. The secret messages were, “She can have you” and “All I ever wanted was the truth” respectively, which is quite a lot of tea to spill at 18. There appeared to be some kind of cheating going on in this album with ‘You’re Not Sorry’ and ‘White Horse’ telling the story of a boy who treated her badly. We know this because the secret message was “Love and Theft.” ‘Hey Stephen’ was written about Stephen Barker Liles in the band ‘Love and Theft’, who she played alongside. We know that ‘Fifteen’ chronicled her high school friend Abigail Anderson Berard getting her heart broken for the first time, while ‘Fearless’ explored her idea of a perfect date. Like Debut, we don’t have a lot of context about who the songs were about, bar a few. It also won Album of the Year at the Grammys in 2010.
The album was a huge success and was number one on the Billboard 200 chart. In her second era, she veered to the border of country and pop. Mary's Song (Oh My My My): Sometimes, love is forever.įearless was Taylor Swift’s second studio album, released on Novemwhen Swift was 18.Should've Said No: Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam.Tied Together with a Smile: You are loved.Teardrops on My Guitar: He will never know.She replayed this song at her 2023 Eras Tour, saying that she had never related to it more than at age 33, following her break up with Joe Alwyn.ĭebut paved the way for the Swift that we see now, earning her the Country Music Award’s Best New Artist title for 2007. The secret message was, “He will never know.” The song continues to refer to a boy named Drew’ which fans could believe could be about a boy from her school called Drew Hardwick.įinally, we have ‘A Place In This World’, a song about Swift trying to carve out her own identity and not knowing what the future holds. Swift was known for writing secret messages to give context on her songs, and this one was 'Can’t Tell Me Nothin’', which is the Tim McGraw song that inspired the track.Īnother favourite is ‘Teardrops On My Guitar’, about a boy at school who she had a crush on but he couldn’t see it. We know the song ‘Tim McGraw’ is about a high school relationship, when Taylor was a freshman and the boy she was dating was a senior. She almost always had her guitar on her while performing. This was Swift’s era of tight curls, a classic smokey eye and nude lip, cowboy boots and floaty summer dresses. 'Tim McGraw' is the most successful from this album, spending eight months on the Billboard country singles chart. Released in 2006, when Swift was 16, it’s a country album that was released with five singles. We naturally have a lot less context on this one as Swift was so young and as yet anonymous when the songs were written. We begin our introduction to Taylor Swift’s eras with her eponymous album Taylor Swift, also known as Debut.
