What parents need to know

Parents need to know that like all of Taylor Swift's music, her new FEARLESS PLATINUM EDITION CD/DVD is great for tweens: it contains nothing offensive, yet it's relevant enough for young adults to like.

  • The overriding message of these six new songs is that romantic relationships can be tough -- and while Swift doesn't shy away from expressing occasional frustration and sadness about them, she also doesn't advocate staying too long in relationships that just aren't right.
  • Taylor Swift continues to be a strong role model, maintaining both a super successful career and a respectable personal life.
  • Not applicable.

What's the story?

Teen country singer Taylor Swift has fueled the flames of her sizzling hot career by releasing a "platinum edition" of her second CD titled Fearless, which itself has gone quadruple platinum. The new CD/DVD contains six new songs on top of the 13 that appeared on the original album, along with an altered cover, dozens of new photos from her 2009 Fearless Tour, music videos, and additional video footage of Swift. Like the dozen-plus tunes that came before, the six new tracks are squeaky clean, foregoing graphic language and content in favor of a realistic yet wholesome look at dating and relationships.


Is it any good?

 

Taylor Swift deserves very big props for writing almost all of her own songs, something that most of her contemporaries don't do. While her tunes, including these six new ones, aren't necessarily great feats of songwriting prowess, they are consistently and solidly good -- from their well-articulated themes of young relationships that make them so relatable to her adoring fans to Swift's lovely if not exceptionally powerful voice. 


Explore, discuss, enjoy

  • Families can talk about Taylor Swift's career. How has she managed to become enormously popular without making a media spectacle of herself?

  • Though she's a huge star, what are some things that Taylor may have in common with any teen her age?

  • Do pop singers have a responsibility to be role models? Why or why not?

Taylor Swift rocks!
I think this is good for all ages. Younger kids won't actually listen to the words but will love the tune, and older girls can actually relate.

Taylor Swift continues to make some great music. Not only that, but she's also a great role model.

Awesome CD
I love Taylor Swift music, and I thought it was good. A few songs talk about kissing, but that's the only problem. I go tinspired and now I'm a singer/songwriter.

tween girls will love it, but really not for younger kids
The music is really good. Taylor is an amazing singer. The songs are awesome. Some parents may think it inappropriate for younger kids, but my 8+9 year old sisters love it. Also for tween girls it gives amazing insight on someone else's "boy-problems" really gooe though, if you are a tween girl you should at least listen to it.

More Cute & Clean Music from Taylor Swift
I love love love Taylor Swift! Fearless: Platinum Edition is a really great cd w/6 new songs that I really like. Jump then Fall and The Other Side of the Door are 2 of my faves. The music is cute & clean true to Swift's style & great for tween & teen girls. :)

I'm not a country fan but can tolerate a lot of Taylor Swift!
Swift's music is always solid and her lyrics are consistently clean. She sings a lot about relationships...it would be great if she'd branch out to some other subjects relevant to her teen listeners.
