In February, “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” preceded Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and right out of the gate, it debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart, marking her first ever Hot Country Songs No. 1. The momentum continued with the subsequent reveal of “You All Over Me (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault),” and “Mr. Perfectly Fine (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault).” Thus far, tracks from the album have already generated over 300 million streams and counting. The debut of “You All Over Me (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)” extends Swift’s hold as the female artist with the most charting Hot 100 hits of all time with 130 debut entries on Billboard’s Hot 100 Chart. In addition, it marks her 25th Top 10 entry on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs Chart and opened at No. 1 on Billboard’s Country Digital Song Sales Chart, making it Swift’s record-extending 16th chart leader.
Fearless is the most awarded country album of all time taking home the “Album of the Year” honors at the GRAMMY Awards, as well as the Country Music Association Awards, and the Academy of Country Music Awards to name a few. Fearless eventually received a diamond certification from the RIAA. Upon garnering the 2010 GRAMMY, she became the “youngest artist to win ‘Album of the Year’.” Additionally, Swift recently became the first woman ever to win “Album of the Year” three times with folklore’s win at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards. She is one of only four performers in history to notch three wins in this prestigious category.
