Runs at number one
How many runs are going to be listed in the succession box. If two albums alternated at the number-one position for a whole year, would there actually have to be 26 different succession boxes for each one-week "run" at number one. It really is only one run (albeit nonconsecutive). --Wolfer68 (talk) 17:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
Triple Platinum Certification
I cannot find the certifications In the RIAA database, or on the Billboard page that lists recent RIAA certifications. This must mean that the info is false and I'm deleting it. PhoenixPrince (talk) 17:12, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Fifteen New Single
Taylor confirmed in a new interview in New Zealand that the new US single was "Fifteen" and it's release date was sometime in September.74.140.128.208 (talk) 01:12, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
New Layout for Track Listing
I really like the new way it is displayed with the tables. It is a lot easier to read. --Gilliganfanatic 20:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gilliganfanatic (talk • contribs)

Organization
This article is way too rambling and listy. Everything seems to be stated 20 odd times and there's a great deal of irrelevant information regarding every nitpicky detail between releases. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 23:57, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
- I agree... but what specifically did you have in mind? i.e. Should the charting trends be listed under "Singles"? They get fairly listy there... perhaps just the # it peaks at? Joannakwong (talk) 08:51, 13 March 2010 (UTC)
- An additional area of improvement: alot of the information in this article isn't sourced where it should be. Joannakwong (talk) 06:04, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Removal of Re-Release section?
I'd like to propose removing the re-release section. I feel like the one sentence that is actually about the re-release can be moved elsewhere, and the quote from the CEO really doesn't add anything to the article. Thoughts? Assembled (talk) 08:41, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Taylor SWift is amazing she is an enchanted artist and she is full of inspiration her life is color ful and full of magical things and thats so amazing to her SHE ROCKS!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.54.32.153 (talk) 17:11, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
Sales Up To December 2015 = 7 Millions
http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6805295/adele-25-5-million-sold — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.90.168.1 (talk) 03:16, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
It sold 10 million copies worldwide
HER WEBSITE SAYS THAT 'FEARLESS' SOLD 10 MILLION COPIES WORLDWIDE, NOT 7 MILLION OR 8 MILLION. Look at the March archives. The person who wrote that it sold 7/8 million copies obviously supports Lady Gaga's 'The Fame' over 'Fearless'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.73.43.193 (talk) 06:01, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Where does it say fearless has sold 10 million albums? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 110.175.33.217 (talk) 16:49, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Platinum Edition Pic
I added that so people can see what we are referring to. JamesAlan1986 (talk-Contributes) 09:51, 19 July 2011 (UTC)
Promotion section needs expanded
The tour was not the only promotion for the album as there were four promotional singles released, "Change", "Fearless", "You're Not Sorry" and "You Belong with Me". She also did Stripped Channel performances (why need a source for that when it obviously exist as two performances were later released on the Target exclusive of Platinum.) I am going to expand the Promotion section and change the name to Promotion and tour. ^_^ Swifty*talk 19:48, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Distinct pop and country mixes
The singles off this album are played on both pop radio and country radio and have distinctly different mixes for each radio style - for instance vocal harmony and banjo, while present on country radio, is removed in the pop radio version. I found this very obvious, being forced to listen to both stations at work. Aren't these distinct mixes worth noting in the articles? And which mixes were used on the album itself?
- The North American version of the album has the original country versions of all songs. "Love Story", "You Belong with Me", and "Fifteen" all have 'pop' remixes for Mainstream Top 40, Adult Top 40, and Adult Contemporary stations. Nowyouseemetalk2me 19:05, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
WorldWide sales
I think current references supporting 16 million is not acurrate. The previous reference saying 12 million (although is from 2017) seems more "real". --Chrishonduras (talk) 23:20, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
Impact and legacy
I need y'all to make a legacy section which discusses the album's significance to Swift's career, the music industry and pop culture after 13 years. Here are some sources I found:
- [1]
- [2]
- [3]
- [4]
- [5]
- [6]
- [7]
- [8] (editor list, ranked at number 99)
- [9] (public list, ranked at number 148)
I oppose, since having a separate legacy section wouldn't be appropriate, since each and every album holds some significance to Swift's career. In other sections, it has already been talked about how "Fearless" propelled Swift to mainstream success. Shrewd0307 (talk) 20:53, 12 April 2021 (UTC)
