    Album country com pop com rock muito bom, e muito bem produzido.

    Pontos Positivos: Back To December, Dear John, The Story Of Us

    Pontos Negativos: Letra de Innocent desnecessária... mas é muito boa.

    Speak Now, Taylor Swift's third studio album, is a masterpiece that deserves all the praise it receives. Released in 2010, this album showcases Taylor's growth as an artist, both in terms of her songwriting prowess and her ability to craft intricate and emotionally resonant compositions.

    Speak Now, Taylor Swift's third studio album, is a masterpiece that deserves all the praise it receives. Released in 2010, this album showcases Taylor's growth as an artist, both in terms of her songwriting prowess and her ability to craft intricate and emotionally resonant compositions.

    One of the most remarkable aspects of Speak Now is Taylor's role as the sole songwriter for all 14 tracks. This level of creative control allowed her to delve deep into her personal experiences, delivering heartfelt and relatable lyrics that have become a trademark of her music. The album explores themes of love, heartbreak, self-reflection, and empowerment, capturing a range of emotions that listeners can easily connect with.

    The production on Speak Now is nothing short of exceptional. Taylor worked with longtime collaborator Nathan Chapman, as well as renowned producers such as Dann Huff and Butch Walker, to create a sound that is rich, diverse, and sonically captivating. Each song is meticulously arranged, with an array of instruments and layered harmonies that add depth and texture to the music. From the soaring choruses of "Mine" and "Sparks Fly" to the stripped-down vulnerability of tracks like "Back to December" and "Haunted," the production perfectly complements the lyrics and enhances the overall listening experience.

    One standout aspect of Speak Now is Taylor's ability to tell stories through her songs. Whether it's the cinematic narrative of "Love Story" or the introspective introspection of "Dear John," she weaves compelling tales that captivate the listener from start to finish. Each song feels like a chapter in a larger story, creating a cohesive and immersive listening experience.

    And let's not forget the iconic red cover of the Deluxe package of Speak Now. The bold and vibrant red perfectly captures the album's essence. It symbolizes passion, intensity, and the fiery emotions that fuel the songs within. It's a visual representation of Taylor's artistic evolution and her ability to command attention with her music.

    In conclusion, Speak Now is a triumph on every level. Taylor Swift's songwriting prowess shines through in every lyric, while the exceptional production elevates the songs to new heights. The album's storytelling, emotional depth, and overall cohesiveness make it a standout in Taylor's discography. And the red cover of the Deluxe package adds a touch of visual brilliance. Speak Now is a testament to Taylor Swift's artistry and remains a beloved and influential album in the pop music landscape.

    Es un álbum muy vacio, sin nada que aportar, repetitivo y aburrido. Taylor tiene que hacer algo más para no hacer siempre lo mismo.

    Terrible album, she has no good vocals which isn’t a surprise AT ALL, she’s a terrible singer, performer, dancer, and passes herself around to desperate men who want fame and clout only to get broken up with by them. She’s desperate and lazy.

    First off, Speak Now is an incredibly beautiful, tragic, heart warming & magical album. The songs cover such universally felt emotions, in a way that feels so relatable & personal. This album reminds me of high school in the best & worst ways, but also continues to transcend time & still be emotionally/lyrically pertinent today.

    This is Taylor's first full-selfmade album on her own. She definitely showed us fairy tales and I think almost every song on this album is a standout song like: Dear John, Enchanted, Last Kiss, If This Was A Movie, Sparks Fly and so on.

    Who 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.

    Coming from a BIG BIG Taylor fan, this is her worst album by far, the song's topics are basic. The whole album sounded like 14 different versions of the same song. Production is lacking with 0 versatility. Don't understand those high reviews.
    The 0/10 is just to balance out those FAKE 10/10 reviews by "Fan boys" Who can't take it that their artist had a bad project, as I said I would give

    I will get straight to the point:this is Taylor Swift's best country album, and I say "country" because I don't really feel like calling it her best album overall knowing that the type of music she is making now is completely different. Anyways; I loved the way she mixed rock and country, because she did it wonderfully, making some of the her best songs I've listened to so far.

And something else I found really amazing too is the fact that she wrote this album all by herself, this woman has an undeniable talent when it comes to songwriting, and she definitely shows it on this record. What makes this album so unique is that she doesn't talk about one single thing. On this album, you will find songs about love, growing up, one dedicated to her fans, and another one dedicated to the critics (which is, in my opinion, a country music gem), and songs about not only forgiving but asking for forgiveness too. It basically has it all, and overall, this is a great album and definitely a highlight in her discography. Expand

    Speak Now, is Taylor Swift’s best album. Speak now is far by better than Debut (Taylor Swift) and Fearless (Stolen Version) combined. I will say the best tracks on this album are Last Kiss, Back to December, Dear John, and Long Live. Last Kiss is about her ex, Joe Jonas. “Your name, forever the name on my, lips.” I believe is great songwriting. And even better, she wrote this album all bySpeak Now, is Taylor Swift’s best album.

An 19 year old, writing masterpieces of songs, all by herself. Back to December, is about her ex, Taylor Lautner. (Jacob from Twilight) The two met when they were portraying an high school couple on the movie “Valentine’s Day” “Back to December” is Taylor Swift’s apology song to him, for dumping him, wishing she didn’t. I don’t really feel like sharing the rest of the songs, but this album is a masterpiece, indeed. This album was so underrated from the public, and didn’t get the credit it deserved. Expand

    Is it possible to dislike a Taylor Swift album? (If we don't count Lover though). Although I like Fearless more, this album touches my heart in a very different way. I am a person who prefers to write letters to people instead of talking to them, and I never sent them. I keep those letters on my closet. Speak Now is that kind of album for me. Very confessional, very honest.

    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.

    An album with no other songwriter but Taylor. At 19 years old she gave us heartbreaking lyrics that many people with a full career writing could never write, and i mean it. "Last Kiss", "Dear John" and "Never Grow Up" are beyond magical, "Enchanted" left me speechless with the beauty and "Speak Now" was such a good rush, making you wonder what's gonna happen next throughout the ENTIREAn album with no other songwriter but Taylor.

She shows such an ability to tell a story and it's crazy to think she got even better with time.
    The only thing that left me kind of disappointed was Ours, that has a gorgeous music video but the song itself needs something more.

    It contains some of my favourite Taylor songs ever such as: Long Live, enchanted, sparks fly, back to december, mine well actually the whole album! Its self-written and her songwritting is amazing and honest as usal. Not a lot mainstream artists nowdays write their music alone. Long live Taylor Swift!

    This is my favorite album of taylor swift. Like l want to scream at every single that it's my my song from this album. Iam enchanted with this album. Not gonna leave you haunted. Listen to this album like it's your last kiss. And to the toxic fandom there are way better than revenge stuff that you can do like support your favorite artist instead of hating on others

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Most beautiful lyrics and all self written!! Dear john is possible the saddest song Taylor has ever written but so so beautiful and also empowering. The whole album takes you through a rollercoaster of emotions, love, sadness, anger, nostalgia, brokenness, captivating, bravery. Wonderful! Expand

    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.

    This is my rank of Taylor’s albums so far:

    1st: Lover & 1989 (I can’t decide between them)
    2nd: Speak Now & reputation (I can’t decide between them either)
    3rd: RED
    4th: Fearless
    5th: Self-Titled Album (“Taylor Swift”)

    I still don’t know about “folklore”. I have to listen to it more to decide where to put it, but it wouldn’t be in 1st or 2nd place.

  1. 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.
