    I still stand to my belief that this is her best work to date. No skips on the album, beautiful bridges, on-point story telling, and NO CO-WRITERS! It gets better, she was just 19 years old when she wrote this. Need I say more? Talentry and artistry jumped out.

Entirely self-written, Taylor Swift cements her presence as a songwriting powerhouse with her third album. I adore Speak Now. Possibly holding even more nostalgia and fond memories for me than Fearless, Speak Now was the first concert I ever went to and the first album I ever bought myself, when I was in middle school. There isn’t a song on Speak Now I don’t love wholeheartedly, but some of my absolute favorites include: Sparks Fly, Dear John, Never Grow Up, Enchanted, Haunted, Last Kiss, and Long Live.

    I can never believe that she could write one of the best albums ever of the decade of 2010s all by herself. Taylor Swift is a very great songwriter. "Sparks Fly" is a very fun, lovely song. while "Back To December", "Enchanted", are very emotional songs with beautiful lyrics. I love this album. It is one of the best country albums ever.

    This album is a masterpiece, she wrote the songs herself, which makes it even better, it have catchy songs like Speak Now and The Story of Us, Haunted is a song I never get tired of and Long Live is I C O N I C

    My favorite Taylor Swift album, hands down. There's not one skip, not one song where I'm not singing my heart out along to her lyrics, which by the way she wrote completely by herself.

    A beautiful masterpiece, written entirely by the best songwriter of our generation. One of her best bangers.

    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.
