Speak Now (Taylor's Version) by Taylor Swift - Another Listen

Uncut version: / speak-now-by-86110154
This is my 2nd time listening to Speak Now and the 1st time listening to Taylor's version. Quite a long project, but the songwriting/storytelling's charming.

[@carlosescleto2991]

They said that REP is a revenge album but for me, Speak Now is the ultimate clapback for the haters who always discredit Taylor’s songwriting skills.

[@unsaidexile]

reputation is not a revenge album at all tho, who said that? 11 out of the 15 tracks are love songs

[@azulablue6988]

​@@unsaidexilepretty much everyone who isn't a swiftie. The general public only remembers the most popular single in an album they are not interested in. LWYMMD is the most iconic clapback TS has written towards anyone who said bad things about her, so that's the only thing they remember about the album.

[@nicholasbert4475]

exactly, reputation is more of a love album

[@luv_mark]

It's actually fit for speak now, since the title album called "SPEAK NOW!🗣️"

[@jessmelgar219]

I also see it as a revenge album tbh, even as a Swiftie. The songs about revenge or being angry are some of the most scathing. But every album of hers has a really great mix of relatable songs

[@filipmarinkovic6281]

"These are not childish lyrics!" and the fact that that is true and she wrote this album fully alone at just 19 years old, and nowdays most grown ass artists write the corniest lyrics is upseting

[@YouChubzzz]

It's unfortunate she didn't catch the lyrics change on "better than revenge'".

[@heidos7]

Sparks Fly: It is believed to be about country singer Jake Owen. Taylor actually wrote it when she was 16, before she released her self-titled debut album in 2006, and performed it live a few times (with some lyrical changes). Back to December: About Taylor Lautner (the werewolf from Twilight), whom she dated back in 2009 and starred with in the romcom Valentine's Day. The lyric "That September night, the first time you ever saw me cry" is in reference to the night Kanye interrupted Taylor's acceptance speech at the VMA's. Fun fact: Taylor is now good friends with Taylor Lautner and his wife, who is also not only called Taylor but Taylor Lautner too since she took his name (maiden name is Dome). I know, it's confusing! Taylor Lautner (the ex) stars alongside Joey King and Presley Cash in Taylor's new music video for I Can See You. Joey and Presley starred in the MV for Mean back when they were kids. Dear John: About John Mayer, whom she dated when she was 19 and he was 32. There's also a song about him on the Midnights 3am edition called Would've, Could've, Should've. John Mayer is known to be a very problematic player. Taylor recently asked fans to spread kindness and to not attack people online, whom they think might have wronged her. She was definitely referring to him. Mean: The inspiration came from a critic who trashed her for apparently singing off-key at the 2010 Grammy Awards. Taylor got the last laugh because 2 years later she performed Mean at the Grammy's, changing the first line of the final chorus to "Someday, I'll be singing this at the Grammy's" and received a standing ovation. ICONIC. The Story of Us: Also about John Mayer. The song references her awkward encounter with him at the CMT Awards. Enchanted: About singer/songwriter Adam Young from Owl City, whom she had a crush on. Taylor actually wanted to name the album Enchanted but her label didn't agree. She settled on Speak Now because she felt it captured the album's essence, with each song being a confession to different people. Better Than Revenge: About actress Camilla Belle, whom Joe Jonas left her for after she appeared in a Jonas Brothers MV. He broke up with Taylor over the phone (the call lasted 27 seconds) and started dating Camilla. There is a lyric change. Taylor changed it from "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress" to "He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches". She has said multiple times she regrets the original lyric because of the slut-shaming and pitting women against each other. She said "I was 18 when I wrote that. That's the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realize no one can take someone from you if they don't want to leave." I know some fans don't like the change but it's only cuz we're used to it in a certain way. Personally, this just makes me respect her even more. Times change and Taylor is not the heartbroken 18 year old girl anymore. Also, while Taylor has written several songs about Joe, they are good friends now and she even sent him and his wife a gift when their daughter was born. Innocent: About Kanye West after he interrupted her speech at the VMA's 2009. The line "32 and still growin' up now" is in the original as she is talking about Kanye, who was 32 at the time. This was her way of forgiving him. That's why it's extra sad that he and his wife at the time started publicly attacking her and making up lies about her. That's when she wrote Look What You Made Me Do on Reputation. Haunted: One of my favourites. I love the rock sound, the instruments and Taylor's earlier live performances of this song is a full on theatrical performance. It's so dramatic and I love it. Last Kiss: About Joe Jonas. "That July 9th" is a reference to that date in 2008 when Taylor went to see the Jonas Brothers perform in Dallas, Texas. Taylor recently said she thinks it's the saddest song she's ever written. Long Live: A love letter to her fans and her band/crew, most of whom have been with her since the beginning. When Emma Falls in Love: Rumored to be about Emma Stone, one of Taylor's best friends. Sidenote: "When Emma falls apart and when she's alone, she takes on the pain and bears it on her own" hits hard. Castles Crumbling feat. Hayley Williams: My personal favourite from the vault. The song is at least partially about Kanye. “Used to chant my name, now they’re screaming that they hate me” hints at the moment people booed Kanye for stealing her moment at the VMA's 2009. In Taylor's Netflix documentary Miss Americana she said she thought the people were booing her. Hayley is the one singing in the second verse and backing vocals. She and Taylor have been friends for years and her band Paramore will be an opening act for several of Taylor’s Eras Tour dates in 2024. Timeless: About her grandparents. Taylor previously wrote about her grandmother, who was an opera singer, in the song Marjorie (her name) on Evermore. She was also inspired by her grandfather, a war veteran, in Epiphany on Folklore.

So regarding Castles Crumbling, she revealed in her film Miss Americana that during the Kanye incident at the VMAs, she thought the crowds were booing her, so this song must have been written at that point.

[@galaxychar]

@@SimonK104She had to release All The Girls because it was leaked, so to promo Eras I think she decided to do some other vault tracks from others at the same time. The reasoning of the Movie track is it is the only Speak Now track that wasn’t purely self written, so she wasn’t going to want to put that on SN. She gave it the Fearless cover only when she got to this and seemed to realize she would have to apply it to another re-release now. I believe she released the Hunger Games tracks with them at this time perhaps because of the difficult recording process as the band associated with them has members that hate eachother now, plus she already had such a large amount of Red bonus tracks when it re-released.

In 2023, Haunted is still my favorite song. I love since the beginning. Amazing song. I wish she had more song like Haunted.

[@angelinebena9675]

This is so true haunted has such a cool melody imo

[@dundee6402]

The order of "Innocent" which has such a haunting melody, directly followed by the gothic and dramatic "Haunted" on the album still gives me goosebumps. What an album

Just the absolute joy at listening to this album sums up what it’s like to come back to it 13 years later, it’s so nostalgic and you realize how insanely good the album was for her age and it’s time

Also “I can see you” has a music video and I think you should watch it! Taylor Lautner is in it and it’s a huge deal because “Back to December” is about him and he regretted not standing up for her during the whole Kanye thing so it’s wholesome to see how much they have both grown ❤

[@DruidShnot]

I give you full credit for my love of Taylor Swift, I would have never given her music the time of day, but after watching your reactions and reviews of the music I'm a die-hard Taylor Swift fan, thank you!

[@brandonpadilla5402]

Never grow up is truly a masterpiece. It really pulls at your heartstrings it’s something that really hits harder with age.

[@Tom-vr8wi]

Taylor also released If This Was A Movie TV as part of the Fearless TV era back in march (it was on the deluxe of the og version), I recommend checking it out! She also released All Of The Girls You Loved Before from the lover era, Eyes Open and Safe and Sound as part of the Red TV era too! Luv ya Ajay❤️❤️

[@rodrigorangel5583]

"Timeless" is about Taylor's grandparents. Her grandfather fought the WW2. She's telling their story in those lyrics

[@SwitchxZ0NE]

I'm still mesmerized on this album because it's literally a masterpiece from start to finish and I'm still fascinated by the song Timeless which has actually brought me to tears because it's about how Taylor's grandparents met and GOD lyrically it's one of my from the vault favorites so far

Agreed. There´s a reason she got a publishing deal with Sony/ATV at the age of14 because of her songwriting skills.. Also the youngest one in history to be signed for publishing deal with Sony . This was also a year before she got her Record deal with BMR.

[@kaylac349]

This is definitely one of my personal favorite Taylor albums. I adore this version but I think what makes this album is the time of its original release. As a teenage girl, this era felt soooo self indulgent. The big princess gowns, the beautifully directed music videos, the seamless blend between themes of love and heart break. This era was truly magical

[@EveleaSolgos]

ajay i cant even say how happy i am that youve been back! in this day and age, it's honestly therapeutic to watch someone just genuinely enjoy something. and since i discovered you while you were listening to some of my favorite artists ever (i.e. Lorde & Marina), it was such a joy to get to feel like i was sharing something i loved with someone who truly appreciated it. thank you for being you! p.s. we are absolutely gonna need you to try listening to Fall Out Boy! my guess is that it won't be your favorite but that you will have a ton of fun! re:44:05, the quintessential FOB song is "Sugar, We're Going Down," so you might recognize that one! other songs you might recognize would be "Uma Thurman," "Centuries," and "Immortals," though they're all reflective of their poppier pop-punk. for their punkier pop-punk, you can check out their earlier albums. my personal recommendation is to start in the middle with Folie a Deux. p.p.s. i still would also love to see you react to anything by bon iver! i know you loved his voice when he featured on Taylor's work, and I think you would really love his poetic songwriting style. I'd say to start at the beginning with "For Emma, Forever Ago."

i didn’t think i knew all of the songs on speak now, until listening to the full TV realizing my mom had LITERALLY every song on constantly. i still remember every word to every song i was having a BLAST. i loved how she kept referring back to “you were mine” i think it ties everything so beautifully IT GIVES ME CHILLS

[@raine_x_vb]

speak now fun facts! - 'If This Was A Movie' wasn't added to Speak Now (Taylor's Version) because it has a co-writer and she wanted speak now to be pure written by herself. But it's still released. - Better Than Revenge has a lyric 'She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress' which is on the stolen version but changed to 'He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches' because it was said as mysoginistic. - Timeless was about her grandmother Marjorie and her grandfather's relationship I think, and the lyric 'You were headed off to fight in the war' was about her grandfather, which is said in her song 'epiphany' on folklore and 'marjorie' on evermore - She wrote these songs in the age of 18 to 20, what a legend

We need the queen to react to RAYE's debut album My 21st Century Blues! It is truly a divine project, genre-bending but still cohesive. You can feel the emotion in her voice and the lyrics and the production is out of this world. She was in a really abusive contract with a record label that wouldn't let her release an album. Finally, after SEVEN years she put it out independently and I couldn't be happier for her.
