Best Day Fearless (2008) | Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version) [2021] \u201cThe Best Day\u201d track twelve on Taylor\u2019s second studio album Fearless (2008). It is a love letter Taylor wrote to her mother, Andrea Swift. It was a Christmas gift for her, put into a music video with photos and videos from Taylor\u2019s childhood. The re-recording of the song, \u201cThe Best Day (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d, was released on April 9, 2021, on Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version). Table of Contents Background Taylor wrote \u201cThe Best Day\u201d while she was touring with country star Brad Paisley in the summer of 2007. She saw an old picture of her and her baby brother Austin inside her tour bus that inspired her to write the lyrics, \u201cGod smiles on my little brother, inside and out he\u2019s better than I am.\u201d Lyrical Theme and Music Video Although much of Fearless is written about the challenges of love from a teenage girl\u2019s perspective, a few songs are about life lessons and family love. Taylor dedicated \u201cThe Best Day\u201d to her family for their support of her music career, the emphasis being her mother. She then edited an accompanying home video without telling her mom because she wanted to surprise her on Christmas that year: \u00abI wrote this song on the road and didn\u2019t tell my mom about it. I decided that I was going to keep it a secret and give it to her as a surprise for Christmas. I wrote it in the summer and then recorded it secretly with the band in the studio. After it was done, I synched the song up to all these home videos of her, and my family. She didn\u2019t even realize it was me singing until halfway through the song! She didn\u2019t have any idea that I could possibly write and record a song without her knowing about it. When she finally got it, she just started bawling her eyes out.\u00bb Taylor Swift In an interview with Taste of Country, Taylor talked about how special her mom is to her: \u201cShe would just take me on these adventures and we would drive around and go to towns we\u2019d never seen before. Those adventures and those days of just running away from my problems \u2014 you\u2019re not supposed to run away from your problems, but when you\u2019re 13 and your friends won\u2019t talk to you and they move when you sit down at the lunch table, and your mom lets you run from those problems, I think it\u2019s a good thing\u2026my mom was my escape in a lot of ways.\u201d Live Performances Taylor first performed \u201cThe Best Day\u201d during the first two concerts of her \u201cFearless Tour\u201d in Evansville, Indiana (April 2009), but she had to drop the touching song from the setlist as her mother burst into tears backstage every time she heard it. Andrea explained, \u201cShe had to drop it from the set because I kept breaking down.\u201d However, when Taylor has a show on Mother\u2019s Day she always performs \u201cThe Best Day\u201d, the first time in Moline, Illinois (May 2010), again as part of the \u201cFearless Tour\u201d. She sang the song again as part of an acoustic segment on the Cleveland, Ohio, concert of \u201cThe RED Tour\u201d in April 2013. During her show in Santa Clara, California, in May 2018 as part of her \u201creputation Stadium Tour\u201c, Taylor again dedicated it to her mother. Most recently, she sang \u201cThe Best Day\u201d during her \u201cThe Eras Tour\u201d (2023-2024) show in Philadelphia on May 14, 2023. During the tour\u2019s final weekend on December 6, 2024, she paired the song with \u201cNever Grow Up\u201d (2010) in Vancouver. Her parents both attended said show. Critical Reception James Reed of The Boston Globe called \u201cThe Best Day\u201d the best song on Fearless, opining that while on first listen, the song is understated enough to be unnoticed, \u201cafter an entire album of wide-open choruses, it\u2019s refreshing to hear Swift tell her story simply. If the melody doesn\u2019t stick in your mind, the message at least speaks to the heart\u201d. In a Billboard 2017 retrospective of Fearless, Jennifer Keishin Armstrong wrote that storytelling is used to \u201ctear-jerking, emotionally manipulative effect\u201d on \u201cThe Best Day\u201d, and that Taylor \u201clooks back at scenes from just five years earlier with the nostalgia, wisdom and sap of a 40-year-old\u201d, despite her being aged only 18 when writing the song. Slant Magazine\u2018s Jonathan Keefe called \u201cThe Best Day\u201d one of the most charming songs on Fearless, comparing it to George Strait\u2019s 2000 song of the same name. Taylor\u2019s Version The re-recording of the song, \u201cThe Best Day (Taylor\u2019s Version)\u201d was released on April 9, 2021. According to Taylor, when she was recording the new vocals for the track she had to stop singing multiple times. \u201cMy emotions have overtaken me!
