Taylor Swift discography

Taylor Swift discography
A female with curly blond hair faces forward in amazement. Her body, clothed by a gold sequin sundress, is in a rigid position: her feet, clothed by cowboy boots, are placed close next to each other, her right arm is held next to her hips, and left arm is held high into the air into a fist. Her surrounding is a stage with intense blue lighting.

Swift released her second studio album, Fearless, in 2008.
