    Ours, aquí llega mi canción favorita del álbum y de Taylor. La letra es muy bonita al igual que el vídeo, del cual, me encanta la parte de Taylor y la impresora (si no has visto esa parte, estás tardando en verla). La canción está claramente dedicada a John Mayer por diferentes razones:

    Speak Now is a career-defining album. It not only lacks a dud, but it also reminds you that a radio hit can be held to a higher standard and still exceed expectations.

Sobre o álbum, Taylor disse durante seu lançamento: “Cada canção é como um roteiro sobre o que essa relação representava, com pequenos marcadores que talvez nem todo mundo vai saber, mas há coisas que eram pequenos detalhes do relacionamento, pequenas dicas”. Em outro momento, Taylor explicou que o álbum se chamaria “Enchanted”, mas depois de uma conversa com o presidente de sua gravadora, Scott Borchetta, eles decidiram alterar o nome do disco porque não se tratava de um álbum de contos de fadas ou sobre seu ensino médio como os anteriores. Foi o primeiro álbum de Taylor a atingir a avassaladora marca de mais de um milhão de cópias vendidas durante a semana de lançamento.… Expand

    This album is soooooo good. From the beginning to the very ending, every song makes me want to dance and sing along. It gives you fairytale-ish vibes and basically is a ton of fun to listen to. The lyrics are the best of hers. "You paint me a blue sky, and go back and turn it to rain" and "she took him faster than you could say sabotage" are just some lyrics to show how amazing these are.This album is soooooo good.

People who criticize this album have never even listened to it, the lyrical content alone should be enough because there aren't any other pop stars who are making fantastic music these days. this definitely has a place on Rolling Stones 50 Best Female Albums of All Time. This is the best album Taylor Swift has ever put out. Just the fact that she wrote, composed and produced every single track on it is extremely impressive. This album is everything you could ask for being a country-pop influenced album, but I think the most important thing about it is that its lyrics are so deep diverse. Swift goes from singing about love on 'Mine' to break-up on 'Haunted' to dismissing critics on 'Mean' to singing about her crew and her band on 'Long Live' to childhood about 'Never Grow Up' and lots more. I'm tellin' you: this album has everything. Love it. Every single track shines in its way and they're all standouts. This album is proof, again, that Taylor is a perfectionist and that she never misses.… Expand

    It is so complicated that you will love it, it is so difficult to understand but at the same time so majestic that it will become your favorite Miss Swift album. Taylor proved to be a bold writer by composing each and every one of the Speak Now songs on her own and making it look like there is a great team behind the hard work lyrics.

    On "Speak Now", she makes a big step from her sophomore album. She has improved lyrically and in production, songs with more than 5 minutes that are not boring but are even more wonderful. The way she herself produced and wrote these 14 songs is foreboding for a great artist who is going to take over the world. The album itself is not that country, but songs like "Mean" give it a peculiar sound.

    16.25/17 ~ .956 -> 9.14

    For an artist with my ratings, it is extremely hard to get an album into the “nine” range. So far, I have reviewed six of Taylor Swift’s seven albums, and not one, not two, but three of hers have reached this point. Only nine albums have gotten a score higher than a 8.00, and Swift has three in that range. This just reflects Swift’s ability to write amazing music. Speak Now got a score of 9.14, the second best I have reviewed after Swift’s earlier release, Fearless. This is well-earned, too. As always, Swift demonstrates her music-writing capability by blowing it out of the water with Speak Now. Mine, Mean, The Story Of Us, and Enchanted are some of my all time favorite songs, and a lot of material from Swift’s third album is near this quality. I don’t really have any complaints. Last Kiss might have been a little lackluster but even that wasn’t horrible, as I really liked its lyrics. All in all, I had an amazing time listening to Speak Now and I am sad that there is only one album from Taylor Swift I have not reviewed yet, meaning I am almost done listening to different material from her. I really enjoy Swift’s music and everyone who loves good music will too. Highlights: Mine, Sparks Fly, Back To December, Speak Now, Mean, The Story Of Us, Never Grow Up, Enchanted, Better Than Revenge, Innocent, Haunted, Long Live, Ours, and Superman.    … Expand

    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.

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

    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.
