Taylor Swift - the Earl(ier) Years
My wife and I watched this with our fifteen-year old son and his girlfriend, and became instant Taylor Swift fans. While there's plenty of concert footage included in this three-episode music special, it's the interviews and behind the scenes stuff that makes it worth watching. Taylor Swift is an amazing success story, and you get a chance to see her whirlwind life on the road during her first big headliner concert tour.Through interviews with Taylor, her parents, band members, producers, friends and even her BFF Abigail (whom she wrote the song "Fifteen" about) you get to know this very talented and ambitious young lady. The DVD has the concert footage broken out by song if you just want to see the show. Most of the video is blu-ray quality, except for the camera-phone and home movie footage, and the audio is great throughout.We really enjoyed this special, but if you just want a Taylor Swift concert video, get the "Speak Now" DVD.

Inspirational DVD
I bought this DVD because I admire the perseverance and inspirational performance of Taylor Swift. I'm not part of the typical demographic of fans, but I am moved by performers, business people and leaders who reach the top of their profession by unswerving perseverance and confidence in their abilities and genuiness in arriving at the top. The movie shows Taylor as she takes every opportunity as a young child to sing and play guitar. We see many home movies, back stage videos and personal comments that allow the viewer to see she appears to be down-to-earth and thankful for her talents and good fortune. The background of being on the cusp of being discovered after moving to Nashville and walking away from a large recording company to record her own songs with a new and developing recording company was a calculated risk that paid off extremely well for her. There are many performances of her singing, but it isn't a concert video...it is defninitely more of her "journey" towards stardom and her appreciation of the fans who love and appreciate her. Recommend for any Taylor Swift fan or for someone who wants to see personal clips of her journey towards the top of her profession!

Taylor Rocks!
Taylor Swift is an exceptional person. Warm, engaging, authentic, down-to-earth - she is very real and wonderful. I have loved her since stumbling upon an interview with her after her win at the Grammy's, where she stole my heart with her winning humor and grace after, "that guy" made such an awful comment 'that beyonce should have got it' while making the award announcement that Taylor Swift was the Grammy Winner ~ Taylor Rocks it with Grace! and then some!Taylor Swift inspires me to go for my dreams. One day I very much hope to meet her and thank her in person. There is no one quite like her. So talented and genuinely kind. She is an excellent role model.She is wonderful here in a personal way sharing her journey. Lots of interviews and music, with herself, family, friends, and her fans.This is something you can view with the whole family. Inspiring to the little ones also!

Taylor Swift - Portrait of the Artist as a Young Woman
Taylor Swift was born to be an artist/songwriter/musician/singer. This is the cable tv special that was aired over 3 nights, which is why I can offer an opinion before it's release.This is an excellent dvd. It's a documentary about Taylor's extraordinary musical journey from early home movies to the great live & backstage footage of her Fearless Tour. My highest recommendation for this dvd. This is the one to get. I've enjoyed it several times on a dvd-r that I burnt from the HUB cable channel, but I'm replacing it with this factory dvd which will not have the station logo in the right hand corner and will look even better than what I copied off cable. I can't say enough about how much fun this dvd is. Great sound and picture quality! No question--5 stars and worth every penny!!I just noticed the listing that this is released by Shout Factory. I have bought cds and dvds released by Shout Factory and have always been impressed by the quality of their products. Another reason to buy Journey To Fearless!
