    The fact that a 19 year old girl wrote this all by herself with such emotion, vulnerability, poetic style makes my head explode. Listening to each song is like a story to which you can listen to like a tale of some kind.

    My favorite abbum by her.All songs has a different story-there are cute happy songs and heartbreaker songs like Last Kiss and Dear John.

    Taylor solidifies her position as a critical country artist with this record. This is Taylor best album. A complete wonderful experience from start to end.

    Uma obra-prima dessa que um cara nojento, impetulante querendo se apropiar das coisas da Queen. Machista safado, Taylor é superior à esse Scooter lixoso. Taylor RAINHA. Speak Now Masterpiece.

    Taylor Swift delivered once more with her 3rd album Speak Now. An entirely self written album that is a testament to her power as a song writer. Once more we are taken into the diary of a growing woman. From the beginning Taylor ropes us in with the preppy love song Mine.

An entirely self written album that is a testament to her power as a song writer. Once more we are taken into the diary of a growing woman. From the beginning Taylor ropes us in with the preppy love song Mine. Taylor then transitions into an apology for the wrong she did to one of her past loves in Back To December then moving on to a deep cutting and highly revealing Dear John. Touching on the struggles of growing up and moving out to be on your own Taylor begs her younger self to hold onto her childhood memories and to Never Grow Up. Then we receive the effervescent love song Enchanted which transports us all back to a time where we found a connection one night, one that sent us home smiling and full of hope while simultaneously fearing that they may be in love with another. Many non "Swifties" will be surprised to that Innocent is a track about forgiving the infamous Kanye scandal at the VMAs. Singing to West that she understands that sometimes life is hard and that the mistakes of your past do not define who you really are before moving on to two heart wrenching songs. Haunted and Last Kiss are arguably in the top 5 songs off the album pulling at the heartstrings and once more showing Swift's impeccable understanding of heartbreak. Rounding out the album and the song Long Live that champions her success and thanking the fans for always being there and launching her to where she is. Speak Now deserves more credit and is a testament to the power of her song writing skills.… Expand

    Альбом - прорыв в карьере Свифт, однако звучание менять первые 5 лет карьеры она, как мы видим, не хотела. Этот альбом можно считать лучшим кантри альбомом Свифт перед переходом в поп-музыку, однако, уже на этом альбоме поп четко прослеживается.Альбом - прорыв в карьере Свифт, однако звучание менять первые 5 лет карьеры она, как мы видим, не хотела.

    This has to be Taylor second best lyrical album right after RED. This album sounds like a complete fairytale but in an amazing sort of way.

    Definitely the most underrated album of Taylor Swift.It is completely self written which means there were no co-writers on the entire album. The lyrics are so well written. Taylor shows that her biggest strength is her songwriting ability. I love the album❤️

    El álbum en el que Taylor Swift demostró por qué es la mejor compositora de la centuria. Impresionado. Un álbum autoescrito que no tiene ni un solo skip. Taylor, lo volviste a hacer.

    SELF WRITTEN ALBUM WHO COULD EVER??? She proves herself with every album. She writes her own music and does not depend on long list of writers and highly acclaimed producers.

    Even in their overwork, however, they evince an effort that bears a remarkable resemblance to care‑-that is, to caring in the best, broadest, and most emotional sense.

    While Taylor turns her wrath on a woman who steals her man on "Better Than Revenge," she turns that critical eye on herself in "Back to December," a thorough apology to a former lover she regrets having left behind. Other tunes, such as "Mean" and "Sparks Fly," suffer from generic and sometimes underdeveloped lyrics.

    Because of the buzz behind it, Speak Now was destined to be a commercial success no matter what. Thankfully, the album succeeds on an artistic level as well.
