Fearless is like excerpts from a high school girl's diary. Fearless was the first time Taylor Swift took her main themes mainstream. It was also the last time she could present herself as the girl next door. "During the Fearless era, Taylor Swift established her persona of the wide-eyed, guitar-toting girl with her ball gowns and flowing blonde hair, who wrote her own songs about fairytales and Shakespearean heroines and the occasional famous ex."
