The Swift fan account sharing the how-to also explained why certain versions of Fearless didn’t appear in their tutorial, which was meant for an international audience.

The reason the original wasn't referred to but rather the platinum version is because most countries do not have the original available anymore and only the platinum version. This account is ran by international stans😉. Thank you for the feature!

Meanwhile, Swift’s project seems to have paid off, with Fearless (Taylor’s Version) shooting to the top of the U.S. Apple Music chart, a first for a female country album.
#FearlessTaylorsVersion by Taylor Swift has reached #1 on US Apple Music. It's the first female country album in Apple Music history to do so.
