Fearless?

After listening to Taylor Swift’s album repeatedly over the last month, I’ve come to one conclusion–Taylor Swift isn’t actually ‘fearless’.  Ok, so she gets up on stage regularly, gives amazing performances like the one on “New Year’s Rockin’ Eve” (who else would be out doors sans sleaves in weather below twenty degrees?  Not the Jonas Brothers, that’s for sure), but is she really fearless?

Of the thirteen songs–all of which are excellent, by the way–on her latest album, how many are not about one of her many boyfriends?  True, it was her boy troubles that made “Should’ve Said No”, “Teardrops on my Guitar”, “Tim McGraw”, “Picture to Burn”, and “Our Song” hits, but does Taylor have anything going on in her life other than relationships?  Don’t get me wrong, I love Taylor Swift and her music, but perhaps a better title would be “Afraid of Nothing… Except a Long-Lasting Relationship”.
