Starting the review. ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 21:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
*Composition Section, should be renamed to Music and Lyrics since you are heavily discussing the lyrics, more so than the composition:

• "Composition" includes lyrics too. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 01:14, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

• Link number 7 should not be linked, see 4 Minutes. Done
• He continued by identifying the most country part of the song a lyric whci referenced a "one horse town". There are spelling mistakes, the sentence doesnt flow or sound correct, needs to be re-written.

•  Done Not done, "He identified the most country part" is not grammatically correct. I would suggest removing sentence all together or replacing.

• Why is it not grammatically correct? Sounds right to me. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 03:39, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

• If you read it it's not grammatically correct. It should be removed. ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 04:19, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

• I read it and seems O.K. to me but instead of entirely removing it, can it be rephrased? -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 02:54, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

• Rephrasing is fine. ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 20:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)

• I think it's finally done. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 17:52, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

• "He said the most country part of the song was a lyric that referenced a "one horse town". Add a where i put it in bold then i think its fine. ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 21:08, 7 June 2010 (UTC) Done

• Craig Shelburne of CMT News said "Fearless" was about a great firs date. I think you mean First, not firs. Done
• In an different perspective, Rob Sheffield of Blender magazine said noted the lyrics[...]. Should be written as "In a different perspective, Rob Sheffield of Blender magazine said the lyrics[...]  Done
• Could you add an audio sample to the composition section? Done

• Can you please extend this till next weekend? The person who can do it for me should be able to do t by then. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 01:56, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
• I have no issue waiting. thanks for letting me know ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 03:01, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

• Link six title says " "aylor Swift: Fearless". Your forgot the T in Taylor Done

This is what i've noticed right off the bat, once these are fixed i will go through more thoroughly. ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 21:39, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Alright going through more :

• Please remove all acharts, replace with billboard, or other. ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 21:08, 7 June 2010 (UTC) Done
• "Swift conceived while touring as opening act in order to promote her eponymous debut album, Taylor Swift (2006)." Okay, this sentence needs rewritten, im not sure what your trying to say. It sounds like she gave birth lol.  Done

• A definition at Dictionay.com says "to form". And, in a biological sense, conceiving is not giving birth but the process of making the baby through sexual or asexual reproduction. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 21:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

• Im aware of what conceived means, thanks for the little sex ed lesson though :P. But what im saying is the sentence, "Swift conceived while touring as opening act in order to promote her eponymous debut album, Taylor Swift (2006)." is a dead end sentence. It makes no sence. What did she conceive?

• LMAO! (about the sex ed lesson)... And it never hurts to know :) Sorry, I guess I forgot the key words "the song". o.O -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 03:50, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

• "At the time, she was not dating anyone or "even in the beginning stages of dating anybody." There needs to be a citation right after this sentence, all quotes need a cite right after the ending quote.  Done
• Please add a certification section, i know theres only one but it still needs to have a section.

• I've been told not to make a section for just one chart or one certification, since it's clearly stated in the text. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 21:09, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

• I was wondering who said that, i dont think thats right. I think it just depends on the reviewer. Who said it? ..:CK:.. ^(talk2me) 04:09, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

• I believe it was Legolas2186. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 04:20, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

I dont have time to conduct the review but i would say:

• is there enough evidence to put pop rock as a genre in the infobox?

• I don't think so. This was just the opinion of one critic and confirm it we would need multiple critics saying this. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 01:38, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

• if you upload an audio sample that would be good.
• could do with a release history. i might be wrong but i think it was first released a promo single to iTunes. At the very least its uk/european/American release will certainly have different dates.

• I disagree. WP:Songs does not list "Release history" sections as one of its requirements. In fact, this isn't even mentioned. Plus Featured Articles like 4 Minutes (Madonna song), Hey Ya!, and Smells Like Teen Spirit do not have such sections. I'd also like to point out that release histories are just charts that will never be completed and, if they were, would be too extensive and irrelevant to the article. The first release date should suffice. -- ipodnano05 * ^{leave@message} 01:38, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
