If you could pick ONE album that I would do a VOCAL ANALYSIS of her Original Album compared to her Taylor Version, what ONE album would you pick?(reposted since self titled shouldn't have been there)

Red! Not only the vocals changed but the production in the songs. ❤️

i’d say fearless as it shows the most growth/differences imo since she was 17-18 when recording it and 31 when re-recording. you heard pieces of it in your fearless tv reaction but there’s a lot more that i think would be interesting broken down. her country albums specifically would be the most different because 1989 (while the tv has much stronger vocals) isn’t too different compared to her country albums

All of them are great but if I need to only pick ONE, Fearless I think would be best as it is the earliest album of the ones that have a Taylor's Version. When it is eventually released I think doing Self Titled would be an amazing one to look at as well as it will have the largest gap between OG and TV release dates.

I voted Speak Now since you just reacted to Fearless. I think Speak Now being the 2nd oldest album with a Taylor’s version and it being a significant time since you reacted to the album it would be fun to revisit it.

Don’t ask me… My brain only knows VoicePlay and Geoff now…

❤️

Fearless because it has the biggest vocal difference. She even said in an interview she was so excited to go back and re record songs from that album that she used to struggle to master live back then (namely change and tell me why). Also over time she has sung more concerts and has learnt more singing “tricks”

❤️

Additionally Nathan chapman - who produced songs from her first 4 albums - said that he refrained from using much pitch correction or tuning on her voice and kept it to a minimal.

I’m not ashamed! Maybe you’ll expand my music horizons somewhat.

Savvy

Voted this way for the same reason :)

Swifties would love it if you didn’t stream the stolen versions but would still love your analysis (maybe just get a friend who has the cd to let you borrow it, or send the mp3s on google drive 😉)

katie

she usually looks up the lyric videos on youtube and doesn’t stream it on spotify/apple music and platforms like that. i think people have made playlists of fan made lyric videos on youtube for all of them so that should be fine i think

katie

the taylor’s version isn’t out yet so she wouldn’t be able to compare it which is what she’s doing for the video, comparing the og to the tv
