Speak Now

Cue the discourse.

Of course, you can catch Sarah on the Fearless and Speak Now episodes.

You can catch Steph on a number of episodes, just, you know, scroll your finger and poke, and you'll probably get a Steph episode.

But-

But I'm not into the before times of that.

Sarah?

I, I started in, I mean, just right at the end of debut, very into Fearless, extremely into Speak Now, like fully rooted in those albums, and then a handful from debut, which we talk about then I never considered as being particularly like howdy doody.

Now I can hear it-

We love you, girl.

Up next, Speak Now.

The Speak Now- Bonus tracks are interesting.

There's only three of them.

Number one is a little song called Ours.

Songwriting, 10 out of 10.

Longevity, 10 out of 10.

I would say this was made to be on Speak Now.

Before we get to the title, I just didn't want to mention the other credits.

It's called Dear John, came out on Speak Now in 2010, track five.

This is quite the track five.

And it was written by just Taylor Swift because Speak Now is all written by just Taylor Swift.

But yes, the title, Dear John.

So Dear John is a letter.

something ordinary and

bad into something

And now we get to talk about one of the first times that they ever worked together way back in the Red era.

So as we know, Speak Now came before Red.

Speak Now, Taylor wanted to prove that she could write an entire album on her own.

Then Red comes along, and it seems like her intention with this album is to say, "I can shift my sound.

I can, you know, bend between genres." And so that led her to start to work with Max Martin and Shellback.

Um, first thing that happened was the VMAs, obviously happened in September.

This is the VMAs where Taylor Swift performs Innocent off her album Speak Now, which we'll all remember is about that time Kanye West stormed the stage.

Mm-hmm.

And then Taylor Swift came back with this frankly kind of embarrassing song.

I, and I've always said this.

[laughs] Oh my God.

Emma Speak Now girly.

[laughs] It's my favorite one.
