Taylor Swift: Journey to Fearless

Concert & Documentary Series | October 22, 2010

Taylor Swift: Journey to Fearless is a music concert series starring Taylor. It aired as a three-night television special on Discovery Family, starting on October 22, 2010, and captured the success of Taylor’s first headlining tour, the “Fearless Tour“.
Taylor’s Journey to Fearless documentary offers both on-stage performances and behind-the-scenes content. Not every song Taylor performed on the “Fearless Tour” is shown in the movie, however the most popular songs are included. By essentially exposing the concert as a story with phases, the episodes keep casual watchers interested while the behind-the-scenes content introduces Taylor and her life story. Taylor provides narration, exclusive home movies and personal photos that chronicle her path from childhood dreams to becoming a superstar performer.

The 2,5-hour film features 13 songs, many taken from Taylor’s 2008 multi-platinum album Fearless, which won a slew of Grammy Awards in 2010, including “Album of the Year”.
