Oct 27, 2010Notice that not one of those zero reviews make mention of one song on the album. I call **** **** This is a great pop record with some of the catchiest tracks I've heard this year; at the same time, "Dear John" and "Haunted" show talent beyond the basic stage she's at now.
-
Nov 28, 2010One of the greatest albums of 2010. I'm disappointed because the singles ''Mine'' and ''Back to December'' did not reach the #1 of the U.S. Billboard. I think that the next singles must be: ''Better than Revenge'', ''Dear John'', ''Haunted'', ''Last Kiss'' and ''Innocent''

Jun 28, 2014So far the only word i can say about this album is "WOW" ! This one is fantastic, inspirational, and emotionally deep as some of them really touch my heart - I almost cry after listening to "Long Live". No doubt she is a remarkable talent.

Aug 23, 2019This 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.
-
Aug 28, 2020El 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.
-
Aug 25, 2019Swift's undeniable talent in songwriting shines through in each of the songs. Her brilliant mind just amazes me sometime. Ugh
-
Nov 25, 2010awesome album. a must buy. Has great songs including the famous hit "Mine" and "Speak Now", with some other great songs like "Better Than Revenge", and "Haunted". Go and buy a copy this second, heck buy 2. that is an order soldier.

Sep 5, 2011Taylor does it again. With another Pop-Country masterpiece, Swift once again ups her game, improving upon Speak Now's wonderful predecessor Fearless, which in turn, improved upon her self-titled debut album. Tracks like "Dear John", "Speak Now", "Long Live", and the album's best, "Enchanted", mold together to make an amazing third studio album from Miss Swift, her best yet.
-
Aug 31, 2011Taylor cleverly blends pop and country as if it were her own genre. It also shows her growth as a songwriter and is far times better than her sophomore effort. Nice solid album and contrary to popular belief it's not the same as Fearless, it's way more varied musically than her previous albums, experimenting with rock, pop, bluegrass-y country and being successful at it
-
Oct 13, 2011Great improvement from Fearless. Most of the songs are beautifully written with touching lyrics and rhythm. Yet again so-easy-to-feel-related Taylor Swift's style. Some are just meh. But none I would call bad. Speak Now, Enchanted, Back To December, and Last Kiss are definite stars.
-
Jan 23, 2012The third album from country/pop artist, Taylor Swift, is a combination of up-tempo country-pop songs, to slow, heart- wrenching love ballads. The album features 14 tracks on the U.S released edition, and is produced by Nathan Chapman, Swiftâ

Oct 1, 2017Speak Now is just a great album. Yes a lot of it could've been improved but Taylor wrote and produced this album all by herself and for an 18-19 year old writing and producing it, it is pretty incredible. All of the songs were different but still were cohesive. If you're looking for a piece of country work that's lyrically strong, Speak Now is the album for you.
-
Oct 18, 2015Speak Now is the best album of Taylor YES! (Red Poor), it shows her true side without 11 composers in a song (All The Single Ladies), or buy the almost complete composition of Bonnie (You make me feel like a ...), I think that if Taylor had taken "Innocent" album would be a true work of art.
-

Jul 13, 2017Once again, Swift has produced an impeccable work of art. The best songs on the album are iconic in Swift's career. Back to December pulls on the heartstrings of the listener. Even the tracks which are not as good, still remain better than the generic music of 2010.
-
Jun 19, 2017Speak now muestra los primeros cambios de Taylor Swift hacia una artista más adulta, y ha querido hacerlo notar por méritos propios, componiendo ella el 100% de los temas que llenan Speak now, con letras mayoritariamente amorosas que nos dejan conocer un poco más a la cantante.
-
Aug 22, 2017Solo Taylor puede hacerlo de una manera, esa es escribiendo un álbum completamente sola, eso señoras y señoras es talento, Taylor no solo nos demuestra sus mas grandes cualidades, el ser una artista completa y excelente compositora.

Jun 26, 2011Wow what an album and it is even better than her previous effort Fearless.It is more mature and diverse.The lyrics are spellbinding and the music is not straightforward as it seems,plenty of twists.
Like it and definitely one of the best this year aside of Lady Gaga's. -

Oct 27, 2010Great album. It shows a lot of lyrical growth and her vocals have improved to. The songs are all really good and meaningful. The best songs are beck to december, better than revenge and mean. The only reason this is getting bad reviews is because saddos (like the ones she sings about in mean) are jelous and write bad reviews because they don't have jobs or lives. Best album of 2010 by far

Oct 27, 2010Speak Now has a kiss and tell approach but heck, the songwriting is just good. I expected a downfall after a damn strong record named Fearless but she just topped that. The last three songs are great and I expect "Dear John" to appear in some best of year;s list.
Wow. Giving a grade of Zero is really unjust. I thought that this is her best album so far. -

Oct 26, 2010This album is 2x better than Fearless. just like how Fearless was 2x better than her selt titled debut album. Taylor Swift has been known to write songs that are like reading a diary diary, which is continued here greatly, sush as the AMAZINGLY personal song: "Dear John". Swifty is growing up, andher music is too.

Oct 27, 2010I'm speechless when listening to this album ( even when its title is Speak Now ! ). Just purely genius and amazing ! I feel charmed through every songs here. Surely a bunch of Grammy awards are waiting for Taylor again !!
-
Oct 26, 2010Just awesome - awesome - I wish that "Dear John" was a verse shorter but other then that it was perfect! Wish I could vote 9.5 but have to vote a 10 as Just because one song is just a little long does not mean that it is almost perfect!

Oct 31, 2012Taylor Swift's third album is just as good as her second album, Fearless. I love how she wrote her songs with more maturity and affection. I especially liked the songs Enchanted, Superman, and Long Live. Her songs are longer than usual but it won't keep you bored. This album feels really personal as if she is letting us read her diary.

Nov 21, 2010This album showcases Taylor's growth as an artist. The highlights of the album are: Better Than Revenge, Sparks Fly, Haunted, Mean, Enchanted and Back To December. Overall, Taylor's transition is most evident in her second single Back To December where for the first time she blames herself for the demise of a relationship. This album is Swift's best record to date.
-
May 29, 2011Taylor Swift has yet again released an album that reaches out to those whom love her and respect her for who she is and what she writes about ( usually break ups). Her songs are catchy and easy to listen to and for those who are true fans, still enjoy her music even though she is slightly more country now
-
Jan 25, 2014Best album by Taylor Swift. I liked how diverse are the songs. It's good musically but lyrically, something is bothering me. Songs like "Speak Now", "Dear John" and "Better than Revenge" made me wonder what Taylor really is inside. In my honest opinion, t's like at some point, she has a very narrow perspective at things. That's just what I think though.

Nov 3, 2010Taylor was confirmed as a pop singer in her new album and how it can make use of a genre like country music to sell millions while she is destroying this genre, although her lyrics continue to be those of an innocent young girl and continue to generate a good image around it...is the same...always

Nov 19, 2010+3 for exceptional song-writing.
+0 for having no voice and having to make it up with autotune.
+0 for originality.
Not to mention all her songs sound the same. "Mine", although lyrically different, is pretty much just a worse version of "You Belong With Me". -

Jun 8, 2017Un álbum con torpes y malísimas canciones. Una chica que solo se cuelga de su relación sin importarle dañar la imagen de alguien más no logra hacer algo potencial para trascender en el futuro. La chica se debe retirar de la música ya que no canta.

Feb 23, 2014I did not like this album. Besides the songs: Back to December, Mean and Mine, I did not like the other songs. They were not catchy and her range is not exactly helping her out. The lyrics are stupid and not inspirational at all. Too generic to be a good album.
-
Jul 21, 2016

Nov 10, 2017Hands down. 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.
-
May 24, 2019Taylor solidifies her position as a critical country artist with this record. This is Taylor best album. A complete wonderful experience from start to end.
-
Aug 10, 2019Taylor is the most hardworking women in the industry with all great albums and deserves to own her hardearned work
-
Dec 6, 2019Taylor Swift é uma das melhores compositoras da nossa geração, não me surpreendi que ela tenha feito um álbum incrível novamente.
-
Jul 28, 2020Beautifully crafted album with Taylor's signature lyricism accompanied by melodies that vary from upbeat pop, to soft country and rock influences. Personal highlights: haunted, last kiss, dear John and back to december.
-
Aug 29, 2020Un álbum poco comercial, habla solo de amor y de infidelidad y ya aburre 0 mensajes 0 canciones ni para bailar
-
Sep 16, 2020bastante aburrido sus letras y melodías me parecen muy apagadas e incongruentes muy desatinadas y la letra solo habla de amor aburrido.
-
Oct 2, 2020What a beautiful follow up to Fearless the Speak Now album turned out to be. One of my favorite albums of hers!
-
Oct 23, 2020Best album of 2010 and one of the best country albums ever. From the light heart name track to the killer Dear John, the nuances and talent that comes through is amazing.
-
Nov 4, 2021Bad, only one good song. No artistic vision. In addition, the voice of taylor is not put forward much

Jul 9, 2022Who would've known that Speak Now was going to become her weakest effort yet. Yes, she wrote every song alone, but that's one factor in making a solid, strong track that doesn't come out as mediocre country. Haunted is her best country rock song, but i'm glad she switched to pop music when she did, as i would not buy an album like this again.
-
Nov 22, 2010While Taylor still has the stars in her eyes of being a teenage girl, she's also learning some of the hard gritty truths of adulthood, while her songs all sound similar in style and range, her lyrics continue to deepen. She continues to grow and as she does, her music does as well.
-
Dec 14, 2010Brilliant album, one of the best this year. I don't get why people hate her. The songs have a mature sound to it and lyrics are creative as well as really truthful. Her singing has also improved greatly from before. Top songs are Back to December, Long Live, Speak Now and Mean. Highly recommended.

Taylor Swift: Speak Now
Taylor Swift, a 20-year-old country singer, is on top of the world right now. In just four years she has released three albums that have made her one of the most lovable pop artists of all time. Although I have been hearing non-stop about this pop/country sensation for years now, I was never extremely interested in her music. I donâ -
Mar 6, 2011i think Speak Now is the best album of Taylor Swift, maybe better than Fearless. She writes songs with her heart, not like other artists, such as Katy Perry, Ke$ha and Lady Gaga. I am not saying that she is the best, but people really shouldn't criticise her too much, cause simple and childish is what we have forgotten, that's what Taylor has and we don't have!! Support Taylor and all her songs!!
-
Apr 16, 2011This album is her best yet! She puts her heart into everything that she writes and does. Her songs are catchy and heartfelt. I can't wait for her next album!!

Nov 14, 2011Once again, she has truly outdone herself. Her songwriting skills are exceptional and her vocal abilities have improved. Songs that stood out to me were 'Back to December' and 'Sparks Fly'. Definitely her best album; can't wait for her next.
-
Nov 23, 2011AMAZING. I love her third album and she can SPEAK NOW all over the world....... All the songs are consistently strong across the board with some standouts and some veritable masterpieces
Go Taylor you can do the best than any other singers. -
Dec 3, 2011I can not get over how wonderful this album is. To this day, every song is full of slightly autobiographical and very heartfelt songs. Despite a couple slow ones, I still love her divine, soothing voice. Good one Taylor!
-
Jan 6, 2017

Nov 28, 2012What's the best with this album is that she wrote all the songs by herself. Here is where we can finally know Taylor. There's a lot of everything. We have country songs, country/pop songs, pop and something more. Lyrics are the best by far, and also the way she uses to express her own feelings. "Speak Now" is, by far, her most mature album yet.

Feb 4, 2011Even 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.
-
Jan 11, 2011While 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.
-
Dec 15, 2010Because 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.
