Speak Now – Taylor Swift

By Sarah H.

Taylor Swift’s latest, and third, album is her best yet! The twenty-year-old’s music just gets better and better. She wrote every word to fourteen songs, every melody, every guitar piece, everything by herself, and, as she claims, “at three in the morning.” She also says the heartfelt album is a diary of her last two years. The title track, “Speak Now,” is one of her top songs – written about a friend hoping to crash her true love’s wedding. Other popular tracks are “Mine” and “Back to December” – written about Taylor Lautner – both released before to album. My personal favorites are “Haunted,” “Dear John,” (written about John Mayer) and “Mean.” All of the songs, ballads and melodies are beautifully composed, with very upbeat tracks and amazing vocals. I would recommend this passionate album to anyone who appreciates good vocals, great guitar pieces, and just genuinely good music.
