Taylor Swift has pulled Fearless (Taylor’s Version) from Grammy and CMA Awards contention, likely to allow voters to focus on her other 2021 release, Evermore.
A Republic Records representative told Billboard, “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. 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 of all time.”
The statement adds that Swift’s ninth studio album, Evermore, will be submitted to the Grammys for consideration in all eligible categories.
Swift re-recorded Fearless in 2021 after Scooter Braun’s 2019 purchase of her former label, Big Machine, which included the rights to her first six albums.
