    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.

      ​@@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.

    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.

    Enchanted is my favorite song on Speak Now. Stunning song.
    Loved Taylor since the start. Her songwriting at 14 (or earlier) was so impressive on her debut album. Cold As You still makes me tear up 17 years later as I was in a relationship then abruptly broken up with out of the blue and that song was on repeat for me.

    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

      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.

    YASSSS I love this album!! Nice to see your reaction this. I just love hearing Taylor's modern vocals on her older songs. I prefer her version over the original.

    Anyone else noticing women around the world, not just Swifties, are having a healing moment? I slept on Taylor when this came out too. Now I'm in my thirties and these lyrics hit so hard and in different ways. It's empowering and validating. ❤

    Ajay here’s some albums I think you should listen:
    - “And in the darkness, hearts aglow” by Weyes Blood (you loved her 2019 project titled “Titanic Rising”)
    - “Desire I want to turn into you” by Caroline Polacheck (her 2019 song “Door” was one of your favourites)
    - “That! Feels Good!” by Jessie Ware (your 2020 song of the year was a Jessie Ware’s song)
    - “Diamonds & Dancefloors” by Ava Max (it’s great!)
    - “Gag Order” by Kesha (also great lol)
    - “Preacher’s Daughter” by Ethel Cain (a beautiful concept album with a beautiful plot)
    Btw beautiful video💜

    Ugh, this album is so exciting and I love that you get excited about these songs too. They marked my teenage years and it's such a great experience to see other people listening to them and being moved by the lyrics.
    I love you and your videos AJay, keep being your amazing self and inspiring everyone❤
