The latest version to her sophomore LP had a lot to live up to considering the original would garner  her very first Grammy win for Album Of The Year.

On Thursday, the pop superstar took to social media and  marked the the release of Fearless (Taylor's Version) at midnight as she wrote: 'It was the night things changed. Fearless (Taylor's Version) is out now'.

Taylor Swift also added a throwback image of herself onstage playing guitar for her followers.

In the lead up, Taylor Swift released the first single --- Love Story (Taylor's Version), the re-recorded version of her original 2008 rendition, as well as two new tracks -- You All Over Me with Maren Morris and Mr. Perfectly Fine.
