Speak Now is the third studio album by American singer–songwriter Taylor Swift, released on October 25, 2010, by Big Machine Records. Production for the album took place during 2008 to 2010 at several recording studios, and was handled by Swift and country music producer Nathan Chapman. Written entirely by Swift as the follow-up to Fearless (2008), Speak Now expands on the country pop style of her previous work, and features lyrical themes concerning love, romance and heartbreak. A deluxe edition was released on the same day exclusively to US Target stores; it contained three extra bonus tracks and two acoustic versions as well as a pop remix of "Mine". Internationally, another deluxe edition was released containing the same three bonus songs and acoustic songs, and three US versions. In 2012, the Target exclusive was released to a wider distribution in the US.

Six singles were released from the album. "Mine" was released as the lead single on August 4, 2010 instead of August 16 due to it leaking online prior to its release. The second single, "Back to December", was released on November 11, 2010. The third single, "Mean", was released on March 7, 2011 and a little over a month later on April 19, 2011 the fourth single, "The Story of Us", was released only to mainstream radio. The fifth single, "Sparks Fly" was released on July 18, 2011 and was the first single since "You Belong with Me" to reach number one on Billboard Hot Country Songs chart. The final single "Ours" was released as promotional single on November 8, 2011 and was released to country radio on December 5, 2011 and was the second single from Speak Now to peak at number one on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Speak Now received generally positive reviews from music critics, who complimented Swift's songwriting and themes. The album debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling approximately 1,047,000 units in its first week. Due to strong digital sales, all fourteen songs from the standard edition of the album charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with the lead single "Mine" having the highest peak of number three. The album was also an international success, charting within the top 10 in several countries, including Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Swift promoted the album with an international tour, Speak Now World Tour, throughout 2011. According to Swift's label Big Machine Records, as of September 2011, Speak Now has sold over five million copies worldwide.[2] The album has been certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and, as of October 2012, has sold 4.2 million copies in the United States.

Background and recording

Swift worked on the album for two years prior to its release.[3] Swift wrote all of the songs on the album without co-writers. Speaking on a live webcast on July 20, 2010, she said, "I actually wrote all the songs myself for this record. It didn't really happen on purpose, it just sort of happened. Like, I'd get my best ideas at 3:00 am in Arkansas, and I didn't have a co-writer around and I would just finish it."[4] In an analysis of Swift's lyrics, The Oxonian Review noted themes of regret and solitude, highlighting that "December is a month to get through so we can return to the beginning, and is certainly not a month to relish. Yet, Swift goes there—'all the time'—in 'Back to December' by delivering an apology to an ex-boyfriend, which she never did on her prior two albums."[5] Music writer Stephen Thomas Erlewine viewed that the album musically is "no great progression from Fearless but rather a subtle shift toward pure pop with the country accents [...] used as flavoring".[1]

Recording sessions for the album took place at several recording locations, including Aimeeland Studio, Blackbird Studios, and Capitol Studios in Hollywood, California, Pain in the Art Studio, and Starstruck Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, and Stonehurst Studio in Bowling Green, Kentucky.[6] Some of the songs feature live strings, and some, a full orchestra.[7]

Title significance

According to Big Machine Records president/CEO Scott Borchetta, the album's original title was Enchanted. He explained: "We were at lunch, and she had played me a bunch of the new songs. I looked at her and I'm like, 'Taylor, this record isn't about fairy tales and high school anymore. That's not where you're at. I don't think the record should be called Enchanted." After the discussion, Swift then excused herself from the table at that point. By the time she came back, she had the Speak Now title, which comes closer to representing the evolution that the album represents in her career and in her still-young understanding of the world.[8]

Writing and lyrical content

Swift wrote all of the songs by herself. The opening track, "Mine", is also released as the lead single from the album. Swift explained that the country-pop song is about her tendency to run from love. Critics praised the song, although some calling is “formulaic” for resonating her earlier work. "Sparks Fly" was composed by Swift when she was sixteen, prior her debut to the music scene, and first performed during one of her concerts in 2007. The song has gone several revisions on its lyrics, and removed the banjo that originally has. Swift explained that the song is “falling for someone who you maybe shouldn't fall for, but you can't stop yourself because there's such a connection and chemistry.” "Back to December" is the third track from the album, and was released as the second single from the album. It received positive reviews from critics, who regarded it as one of the highlights of Speak Now. The song is the first time that Swift ever apologizes to someone in a song. Critics have speculated that the song is Swift's apology to her ex-boyfriend Taylor Lautner. The title track followed, which released first as a promotional single. The upbeat country-pop song relies on acoustic guitar and is a narration of from the perspective of a person who crashes her former love's wedding in attempt to win him back.

“Dear John” is the longest track from the album which clocks six minutes and forty five seconds. Swift described the song as an “open letter” to an ex-boyfriend. The song is about being manipulated and betrayed by someone you loved. It is speculated that the song is written about John Mayer, whom Swift has dated in summer 2010. The Grammy-winning song "Mean" is the sixth track of the album. Critics said that it is one of her most country-sounding song. The song's lyrical content addresses those who question Swift's ability to sing. The pop-oriented song "The Story of Us" followed which lyrically narrates the awkwardness that takes place between two people after they break up. “Never Grow Up” is a sweet ballad written about her younger niece. Swift explained that the song is about “the fact that I don't quite know how I feel about growing up”.

The power ballad “Enchanted” serves as the ninth track of the album. The song starts with guitar strings and lyrically, it finds Swift singing about meeting a guy she's attracted to without knowing if her instant infatuation is at all reciprocated. The song has a length of five minutes and fifty two seconds, thus making it the second longest song in the album. “Better than Revenge” is one of Swift’s vengeance songs aimed at the young actress Joe Jonas pursued after breaking Swift. The song contains punk rock elements and one of the pop-oriented songs from the album. “Innocent” is written in response to last year's Kanye West contretemps on the MTV Video Music Awards. The song is about someone who has lost his path their life, but whose "streaming lights are bright to me." “Haunted” is the most dramatic song on the album. It starts off with violins and other string instruments. The song is about after a break up, and involves Swift demanding that the guy to “finish what he started.”

“Last Kiss” is a country ballad song. Swift explained that the song “is sort of like a letter to somebody.” The song is rumored to be about Joe Jonas. The closing track “Long Live”, which also known as “We Will be Remembered”, is about her band and her fans. Swift said “this song for me is like looking at a photo album of all the award shows, and all the stadium shows, and all the hands in the air in the crowd. It's sort of the first love song that I've written to my team.”

Singles

The lead single from the album, "Mine" was released on August 4, 2010. The single was released twelve days ahead of its planned August 16 release, due to an online leak of the song.[28] The music video for the song was shot in Kennebunkport, Maine, during July.[29] Swift said the single was about her tendency to "run from love".[3] Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone praised Swift's lyrical craftsmanship, calling the song's couplets "You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter" as a "brilliant throwaway detail."[30] The song has peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and sold 1,953,000 copies in US.[31][32] "Mine" is certified double platinum and Swift's fifth best-selling song to date in US.[33][34]

The second single, "Back to December", was sent to US country radio on November 15, 2010.[35] The music video premiered on January 13, 2011 in CMT and Great American Country.[36][37] Swift has said of the song's background, "[it] addresses a first for me, in that I've never apologized to someone in a song before. In the good, or bad, or the apology, the person I wrote the song for deserves this. This is about somebody who was incredible to me, just perfect to me in a relationship, and I was really careless with him, so these are the words that I would say to him – that he deserves to hear."[38] To date, "Back to December" sold 1,536,000 copies, becoming Swift's seventh best-selling song in US.[32]

The third single, "Mean", was released for country stations on March 7, 2011.[39] The music video premiered on CMT on May 6, 2011.[40][41] According to Swift the song "is about, well, when you do what I do, which is you put yourself out there for a lot of people to say whatever they want about it, there are a million different opinions from a million different people."[42] The song would become Swift's eighth number one hit.[43] Also, Swift made a record when "Mean" jumped from number twelve to number nine on Hot Country Songs, becoming her thirteenth consecutive Top Ten hit on that chart. This made Swift one of two women (Carrie Underwood) to begin their chart histories with thirteen consecutive Top Tens dating to the survey's 1944 launch.[44] "Mean" sold 1,670,000 and also becomes Swift's thirteenth song to sell more than one million copies which is more than any other country artist in digital history.[45][46]

The fourth single, "The Story of Us", was released on April 19, 2011 to mainstream pop.[47] It was released in the UK on April 4, 2011.[48] The music video premiered on MTV on May 24, 2011.[49] Swift says that it "is a song that I wrote about an awkward situation where, well… Let me just preface by saying that I have happened to run into exes in strange places lately. This is about one of those situations where the strange place that I ran into him was an awards show."[50] The song became Swift's first single to fail to peak inside the top forty of Billboard Hot 100.

The fifth single, "Sparks Fly", was released on July 18, 2011 to country radio.[51] Prior to its single release, the song debut at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 8 on the Digital Songs Chart due to strong digital sales of 113,000 downloads.[22] The music video of "Sparks Fly" premiered on TaylorSwift.com on August 10, 2011 and features clips of various performances from her Speak Now World Tour.[52] "Sparks Fly" is the opening song of the Speak Now World Tour.[53][54][55] According to Swift, the song is about "falling for someone who you maybe shouldn't fall for, but you can't stop yourself because there's such a connection and chemistry."[56] The song became Swift's first single in two years to reach atop the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart since "You Belong with Me" in 2009.[57] As of December 2011, "Sparks Fly" sold 586,000 and has been certified Gold in US.[58]

News and E! Online on December 2, 2011 at 7:00 pm ET.[61] Billy Dukes of Taste of Country wrote that "Lyrically, 'Ours' is similar to 'Our Song' in that it’s cheesy and delicious."[62] Swift performed the song at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards on November 9, 2011.[63][64] "Ours" became Swift's second single from Speak Now and her sixth overall to reach number one on Billboard Hot Country Songs Chart.[65][66] The song also became her fourteenth song to surpass the one million mark.[67]

Tour

Main article: Speak Now World Tour
Swift performing on the album's supporting tour

To promote the album – a tour – entitled the Speak Now World Tour was announced on November 23, 2010 by Billboard.[3] The tour began with a six-day leg in Asia, from February 9 to 21, 2011.[3] The tour then ventured in Europe during the month of March, before Swift began the North American leg of the tour on May 21, 2011. The North American leg ended in New York City on November 22, 2011, with a total of 80 shows.[68] The tour extended into 2012 in Oceania.[69]

Critics have praised the tour with Billboard.com claiming that "Swift’s two-hour production was an overwhelming experience. There's an enormous amount of detail that worked to make the Speak Now Tour a sort of next step in country concert presentation….it blended the pacing, the music and the artist's personality in a way that transfixed.” The Korean Focus Times praised it by saying, “Taylor Swift charms Korea in style, radiant...with pitch-perfect and sincere vocals. The dedication of the fans present was boundless, the cheers of the crowd were sometimes louder than the music itself.” The New York Times claimed the tour "went off, as did every number, with clockwork professionalism and thousands of voices singing along and screaming between the lines. Ms. Swift, 22, is their superstar....her songs are taut, tuneful narratives.”[70]

On August 10, 2011, Swift released a music video for "Sparks Fly", which featured clips taken from four different locations of the tour, which includes one from the show in Newark, New Jersey. The footage with the rain was captured during one of the summer shows in a stadium.[71] A live album of the tour was released on November 21, 2011. The DVD and Blu-ray included with the CD feature all seventeen song performances taken from the North American leg of the tour.[70]

Speak Now received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 77, based on 20 reviews, which indicates "generally favorable reviews".[81] Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine commended Swift's mature lyrics and stated, "she writes from the perspective of the moment yet has the skill of a songwriter beyond her years".[1] Entertainment Weekly's Leah Greenblatt praised Swift's songcraft and called the album's tracks "perfectly contained snow globes of romance and catharsis, whole cinematic narratives rendered in four-to six-minute miniatures".[73] Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times wrote that "she makes memorable music by honing [sic] in on the tiny stuff: the half-notes in a hummed phrase, the lyrical images that communicate precisely what it’s like to feel uncomfortable, or disappointed, or happy".[75] Rudy Klapper of Sputnikmusic called it "the best pop record of the year".[82]

Dave Heaton of PopMatters observed "a richer array of narratives and even more songs about that process of turning your life into a narrative".[77] Jon Caramanica of The New York Times called Speak Now a "bravura work of nontransparent transparency ... the most savage of her career, and also the most musically diverse. And it's excellent too, possibly her best".[83] Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield perceived "a minimum of country schmaltz" and commended Swift for "slipping more grown-up details into her love stories".[78] Theon Weber of The Village Voice perceived Swift's songwriting strength as "not confessional, but dramatic" and stated "Like a procession of country songwriters before her, she creates characters and situations—some from life—and finds potent ways to describe them".[84] Weber described the album's songs as "iceberg songs" and elaborated on Swift's musical approach and progression with the album, stating:

Swift enjoys slipping in and out of identities, and her best songs are constructed from multiple, superimposed points of view. She also likes using a tossed-off phrase to suggest large and serious things that won't fit in the song, things that enhance or subvert the surface narrative ... She's more comfortable inside these new songs, and cleverer ... She can still sound strained and thin, and often strays into a pitch that drives some people crazy; but she's learned how to make words sound like what they mean ... Speak Now proves her talent's expanding in proportion to her freedom.[84]

In a mixed review, Allison Stewart of The Washington Post called the album "ridiculously entertaining [...] a lengthy, captivating exercise in woo-pitching, flame tending and score-settling", but found it "long: 14 wordy, stretched-thin, occasionally repetitive songs".[85] Slant Magazine's Jonathan Keefe found Swift's singing "technically poor" and her lyrics "generally lack[ing] the variety and sophistication of her compositions", which he called "expertly crafted pop music".[79] Alex Macpherson of The Guardian commented that "At times the self-consciousness of an artist forcing herself into new modes shows – but mostly, Speak Now is a triumph".[74] In his consumer guide for MSN Music, Robert Christgau gave Speak Now an A- rating,[72] indicating "the kind of garden-variety good record that is the great luxury of musical micromarketing and overproduction."[86] Although he found its song "overlong and overworked", Christgau felt that they "evince an effort that bears a remarkable resemblance to care—that is, to caring in the best, broadest, and most emotional sense".[72]

Accolades

Several music critics and publications included Speak Now in their year-end list. The album was ranked number thirteen on Rolling Stone's year-end best albums list for 2010.[87] About.com listed Speak Now as the best pop album of 2010, calling it "a highly personal, intimate musical document that pulls listeners in with both humor and grace".[88] Allison Stewart of The Washington Post named the album the tenth best of 2010,[89] and The New York Times' Jon Caramanica rank Speak Now number two in his top ten albums list, stating that "her songs are more diverse, her images more severe, her blade sharper."[90] Jim Malec of American Noise rank Speak Now number six on his Top 10 Country Music Albums of 2010 and named it the "most courageous" release of 2010.[91] PopMatters ranked it at number five on its list of the best country albums of 2010,[92] while The Boot ranked it at number two on its top ten country albums of the year.[93] In June 2012, the album was included in the "50 best female albums of all time" list by Rolling Stone, ranking at number forty-five.[94]

Aside from critic polls, the album was nominated in 2011 Juno Awards for International Album of the Year, losing to Katy Perry's Teenage Dream.
