At #20 is "That's When" featuring Keith Urban. Taylor and Keith have collaborated before on Tim McGraw's #1 country hit "Highway Don't Care", but this is the first collaboration between the two that features Keith's vocals as Keith didn't have a vocal part in "Highway Don't Care" (the guitars in the outro SLAP though) and wasn't credited for charting purposes (credited as Tim McGraw with Taylor Swift on both Billboard and Mediabase). Compared to the songs that have been revealed so far, a good chunk of ranks were in the teens, contributing to the song being less divisive relative to most tracks on this rankdown.
For me, this might have been my favorite vault track at the release of Fearless TV, but my enthusiasm for the song kind of faded and now a different song (yet to be revealed) is my favorite vault track.

Wrapping up today's reveals at #19 is "Untouchable", the third platinum edition track to appear in this set. It appears that the vault and platinum edition tracks aren't doing so hot... "Untouchable" is originally a song by Nashville rock band Luna Halo, but Taylor has songwriting credits on it because the band felt like she had made significant enough modifications to the song to warrant it (you can read more about it here where Nathan Barlowe, a member of Luna Halo talks about "Untouchable" and Taylor Swift). She has even performed this track on Saturday Night Live in 2009. It finished only 1 point above "That's When", and only 5 points behind the song at #18. We also see our first #1 loss here, as MOWE becomes the unfortunate first person to lose a #1 but probably played a big part in this song finishing above "That's When". |

I would have thought the improved vocals on "Change" would have made people rank it higher but apparently not lol.

And that's it for today's reveals! The next set will take you right up to the top 10, so stay tuned for that!
In the meantime, here's a recap of what has happened so far:
#19: Untouchable (Taylor's Version)
#20: That's When (feat. Keith Urban) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
#21: Come In With The Rain (Taylor's Version)
#22: Don't You (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
#23: Change (Taylor's Version)
#24: Superstar (Taylor's Version)
#25: Bye Bye Baby (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
#26: We Were Happy (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)
If the OG Fearless rankdown is any indication, the #16 finisher in that rankdown, "The Other Side of the Door" is in danger, but that one got a bit of attention after the release of Fearless TV (or at least to me it felt like it did, not to the same extent as "The Way I Loved You" obviously), will it be able to survive for some more reveals?
Here are the results for the OG Fearless rankdown if anyone's curious:
1. Love Story (highest SD)
2. You Belong With Me
3. Fearless
4. White Horse
5. Forever & Always (lowest SD)
6. You're Not Sorry
7. Breathe
8. Fifteen
9. Hey Stephen
10. Forever & Always (Piano Version)
11. The Way I Loved You
12. Tell Me Why
13. Jump Then Fall
14. Change
15. The Best Day
16. The Other Side of the Door
17. Untouchable
18. Come in with the Rain
19. SuperStar

That's When deserved a little better than this. Definitely one of the best things Keith has done in the recent years..

My confusion with That's When has always been if you're gonna bring Keith in, why didn't you let him rip a guitar solo?

“Come In With the Rain” in the bottom 6 when it deserved the Top 10. Typical Pulse tastelessness.  ”Don’t You” was my instant fave of the Fearless Vault tracks and is my favorite among them to this day. |

Reveals were going so well until we lost That's When and Untouchable. Untouchable is a beautiful song, definitely wish it made top 10.
Let's get out Hey Stephen and Tell Me Why in this next set!

Untouchable and Come in with the Rain are both incredible. Both have such a melancholy dreaminess to them that I love. Sad to see them go so early.
Not surprised the vault tracks are dropping like flies. They’re not bad, they’re just not very memorable. Not like the Red TV vault tracks which are *chef’s kiss*.

Decent start, though I do wish "Change" had ranked higher. I've always loved it, rough vocals and all. Like schnetzka said, I expected it might do better here with the updated/better vocal performance, but I suppose that wasn't the case. 🙃 I enjoy everything on the album, but "Don't You" was the one song I just didn't particularly care for and I kept forgetting how it went, so it was an easy last place for me. |

I'm glad my lovely co-host Taylor didn't have to post this reveal... and I got to do it instead.
I have a group of very close, Swiftie-friends and when we were younger we used to hang out in coffee shops or out in park benches and sing Taylor's songs with a guitar! And this song always reminds me of that time cause we used to play this song a lot and I was the only one who didn't like it. Anyways, it's out now hahah!

Oh no, is a Fearless (Platinum) purge happening before our eyes? "Forever & Always (Piano Version)" has always been such an important companion to "Forever & Always" in my opinion. The good ol' days when an artist released acoustic versions for the artistic hell of it and not as a promo tactic  Moving onto the next reveal. Who's ready for #16? Can I get a hallelujah? |

The first Vault track we ever heard! And the rare occurrence of zero perfect rankings! All in one reveal! It's a party. I wish Maren had a more prominent appearance in the song. Other than that...
#15 is such a good song. To quote the kids on Twitter: she's really mother for that.

Ding ding ding!!! But also... seeing you here means I actually have to put thought into my hints and make them more challenging lol I've always found "The Best Day" to be a unique song. It took a while until it clicked tbh. But it holds the very special place in my heart of the "only song that has ever made me cry". This was in the wake of Taylor's Tumblr post announcing her mom's battle with her health. Her storytelling has always been so vivid! #14 is an instant classic in my opinion. I've heard it's developed some kind of irrational fear of clocks and dollar signs though. |

And the highest standard deviation of the game is out now! Should we be surprised? We also get to see a major #1 loss! Condolences khan! In my opinion, the re-recording gave this song such an upgrade. It's one of my favorite songs on the album now! I know that's an unpopular opinion in the community though! Which song is gonna get the precious 13th spot? All I'm gonna say is that it ain't nothing but a mistake. |
