Taylor Swift won’t be filling a blank space on her trophy case with any Grammys for her re-recorded “Fearless” album. The singer decided not to submit “Fearless (Taylor’s Version),” which she released in April, for contention at the Grammy Awards or the Country Music Association Awards, Billboard reported. “After careful consideration, Taylor Swift will not be submitting Fearless (Taylor’s Version) in any category at this year’s upcoming Grammy and CMA Awards,” a representative for Republic Records told Billboard in a statement. “Fearless has already won four Grammys including album of the year, as well as the CMA Award for album of the year in 2009/2010 and remains the most awarded country album of all time.” Swift is re-recording her first six albums after talent executive Scooter Braun acquired the rights to much of the singer’s musical catalog in 2019.

The original version of the album came out in 2008. “Fearless”…

Just wanted to clarify that it’s not stylised, but actual Middle English. The text is from The Canterbury Tales.Finally, on July 9 2021, u/kiralamouse added:Okay, had to track it down.

Comments AlisaLolita 11 hours ago A few things: 1. Get an image for your fic. You can do this in many ways, either by using stock photos, photoshop, drawing one yourself or hiring someone to make one for you. Whatever the image is, try to make it as eye-catching and relatable to your fic as possible. 2. When you post about your fic, use that image. Under it, paste the first few paragraphs of your fic, then link to your fic at the end, with the link saying something like: "Read the rest of it here!" This both catches the attention of readers by the image, and gives them a small sample of your writing to see if they're interested, then routes them to your fanfiction, which drives up your numbers. 3. Don't just post your fic over and over, that's spam. This only works if you also partake in the fandom community by reblogging other things and interacting with other fanfiction writers/readers. Reblog fandom art, cute or funny quips, other people's fics, etc. 4. Do what I've listed above *every* time you post a new chapter. 5. As for tags, see what popular blogs in your fandom are using…

Hi, my name is Kelly, and I'm a huge TV nerd! I also have a talent for always falling in love with ships that are doomed from the start.Sometimes a pairing is absolutely perfect for each other, but for whatever reason, they don't end up together.
