The American country-pop star Taylor Swift withdrew the 2021 remake of her 2008 album 'Fearless' from the Grammys and Country Music Association Awards.
A Republic Records representative told Billboard that after careful consideration, Swift will not be submitting her country re-recorded album 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 album of all time," the representative added in the statement.
Instead, the superstar's 9th studio album "Evermore" will be submitted to the Grammys in all possible nominations. This is to ensure that fans will be focusing on a single album to vote.

Additionally, the album's predecessor "Folklore" also won the Grammy for Album of the Year.
Furthermore, 'Fearless (Taylor's Version)' is just one of the six albums that the pop star plans to re-record after Scooter Braun purchased her former label Big Machine Records back in 2019 wherein the rights of her first six albums belong.
