Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is the third re-recorded album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on July 7, 2023, by Republic Records. It is part of her re-recording projects following the 2019 dispute over the ownership of her back catalog. Swift announced the album at the Nashville concert of her sixth headlining tour, the Eras Tour, on May 5, 2023.

Contents

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) consists of songs written solely by Swift. She produced the re-recorded versions of 16 tracks from her third studio album, Speak Now (2010), with Christopher Rowe, and six previously unreleased "From the Vault" tracks with Jack Antonoff and Aaron Dessner. Two vault tracks respectively featured Fall Out Boy and Hayley Williams. A country pop and pop rock album, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) incorporates various rock styles such as emo, pop-punk, and alternative rock. Its sound is characterized by prominent electric guitars, dynamic drums, and strings. Reflecting Swift's adolescence, the songs document emotions of affection, grievance, and heartbreak, forming a loose concept album of unspoken confessions.

Music critics praised Swift's emotionally-engaging songwriting in the album and the matured tone of her vocal performances, although the edit to a lyric in the track "Better than Revenge" was met with mixed opinions. Speak Now (Taylor's Version) reached number one on albums charts of Australia, Canada, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom, among others. In the United States, it was Swift's 12th album to top the Billboard 200 chart, breaking Barbra Streisand's all-time record for the most number-one albums by a female artist. All 22 of its tracks charted on the Billboard Hot 100, with "I Can See You", which was accompanied by a music video, becoming the highest-peaking at number five.

Background

Taylor Swift signed a recording contract with Big Machine Records, an independent record label based in Nashville, in 2005. [1] As part of the contract, Big Machine released Swift's first six studio albums, from Taylor Swift (2006) to Reputation (2017). [2]

Swift wrote the standard edition of her third studio album, Speak Now, entirely herself and produced it with Nathan Chapman, who had produced both of her previous albums. [3] [4] The album was released on October 25, 2010, by Big Machine. [5] It expands on the country pop style of her past albums with more aggressive elements of mainstream pop [6] and rock styles from the 1970s and 1980s such as pop rock, arena rock, and new wave rock. [7] Speak Now registered in the 2010 Guinness World Records as the fastest-selling US digital album by a female artist [8] and was nominated for Best Country Album at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012. [9] The New York Times wrote in 2010 that the album's strong sales proved Swift "has transcended the limitations of genre and become a pop megastar". [10]

By August 2018, Swift's contract with Big Machine had expired; she signed a new contract with Republic Records, a division of Universal Music Group, which secured her the rights to own the masters of the new music she would release. [11] In 2019, the talent manager Scooter Braun and his company Ithaca Holdings acquired Big Machine Records. The masters of Swift's Big Machine-released albums, including Red, were effectively transferred to Braun, which resulted in a public dispute between Swift and Braun. [12] Swift denounced the purchase and began re-recording her first six studio albums, including Red, in November 2020. [13] By re-recording the albums, Swift had full ownership of the new masters, which enabled her to control the licensing of her songs for commercial use and therefore substituted the Big Machine–owned masters. [14]

Swift began re-recording those albums in November 2020 [15] and released two re-recorded albums in 2021: Fearless (Taylor's Version) in April and Red (Taylor's Version) in November; the former is the re-recording of Swift's second studio album, Fearless (2008), and the latter is of her fourth, Red (2012). In addition to reproduced versions of the original songs subtitled "Taylor's Version", each album include several unreleased tracks denoted as "From the Vault". [lower-alpha 1] After their release, both re-recorded albums performed better in commercial metrics than did their original counterparts. [16] At the first Nashville show of her sixth headlining concert tour, the Eras Tour, on May 5, 2023, Swift announced the third installment in her re-recording project, Speak Now (Taylor's Version). [17]

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) contains 22 tracks written solely by Swift, 16 of which are re-recorded versions of songs from the 2010 deluxe edition of Speak Now, save for "If This Was a Movie", which was re-recorded and released separately. [18] [19] Six tracks were denoted as "From the Vault", which Swift had written and intended to include in the original album but ultimately did not. [20] Fall Out Boy features on the vault track "Electric Touch", and Hayley Williams on "Castles Crumbling". [21]

Swift shared via social media that re-recording Speak Now made her reminisce about it as an album that "tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing ... and living to speak about it", [22] influenced by her adolescence to encapsulate "brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions and wild wistfulness". [23] The songs on Speak Now (Taylor's Version) reflect on Swift's transition from adolescence to adulthood; they employ autobiographical songwriting to explore the sentiments stemming from love and life such as enchantment, heartbreak, [24] and teenage angst. [25] Some songs were inspired by Swift's celebrity. [26] They altogether constitute a loose concept of unspoken things Swift wanted to deliver to the subjects of her songs. [25] [26] All re-recorded tracks retain their original lyrics, except "Better than Revenge", whose line "She's better known for the things that she does on the mattress" in the chorus was replaced with "He was a moth to the flame, she was holding the matches". [27]

Swift produced all tracks on Speak Now (Taylor's Version). The re-recorded tracks were produced with Christopher Rowe, [28] and the vault tracks with Aaron Dessner and Jack Antonoff, who were each credited on three tracks. [29] Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is a country pop [30] [31] and pop rock album. [21] It incorporates elements of various rock styles, [25] such as pop-punk, [26] emo, [32] and alternative rock. [33] Clash 's Alex Berry described the album as a blend of rock, country, and pop, [34] and Spin's Bobby Olivier attributed the rock sounds to the production elements of "rousing electric guitars, heavier drums, volatile choruses". [25] In Rolling Stone, Maura Johnston said that Swift's songwriting exhibits country roots while drawing influences from the pop-rock sound popular around the time she was writing the original album; [24] this idea was shared by Variety's Chris Willman, who described the overall sound Swift was pursuing as "the organic pop-rock band sound" that captured "the stylistic spirit of 2010". [21]

[21] [39] In the closing ballad "Timeless", Swift finds old photos of couples in an antique shop and superimposes herself in their lives, [26] imagining herself longing for a lover who has gone to war. [26] The song's arrangement mainly consists of acoustic guitars and organ, with accents of ukulele and flute. [21]

Maura Johnston of Rolling Stone stated, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) "expands our image of a landmark album", with grittier production quality. [24] The same magazine's UK critic Mark Sutherland wrote, "the empowering, elemental force and simmering hurt that made the original Speak Now such a remarkable record remains strikingly intact."

The lyrics are sexually suggestive and contain flirtatious innuendos, describing Swift's attraction to a person she comes across often.

"When Emma Falls in Love" is a song written and recorded by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. Originally intended for but left out of the track listing of her 2010 studio album Speak Now, the song was included in Speak Now , the 2023 re-recording of the album. Produced by Swift and Aaron Dessner, the song is about the narrator's experience of watching a friend fall in and out of love and her admiration for that friend.
