Why Mr. Perfectly Fine Spent 13 Years in the Vault (Preview) | AP Taylor Swift After School - AP Taylor Swift | Lyssna här

"How's your heart after breaking mine?" This is a preview of our paid After School episode, a continuation of our "Fearless" album deep dive.

We go through every Platinum Edition bonus track and Fearless (Taylor's Version) vault track and ask the only question that matters: why didn't these make the original 13? We argue "Mr. Perfectly Fine" was too pointed for a 19-year-old still being marketed as "sweet, neat, and age-appropriate," that "Superstar" was the PR-safe version of the same heartbreak, and that the "Forever & Always" piano version is the stages of grief in song form.
