Speak Now is the third studio album by American country singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on October 25, 2010, by Big Machine Records. Production for the album took place during 2009 to 2010 at several recording studios, and was handled by Swift and Nathan Chapman.
When bum-rushed ’s acceptance speech at the 2009 VMAs, the world rallied around not because was a “jackass,” as so succinctly summarized, but because the singer/songwriter conveyed the fragility of adolescence on her 2008 breakthrough,, so successfully that she inspired instinctive protectiveness even among those who never spent much time with the record. Not timid or a tart, seemed like a genuine girl on, perhaps treating her songs a little too much like diaries, but that only made them more affecting. If anything, ramps up the confessions on her 2010 sequel,, but circumstances have changed: few listeners, if any, would have a clue about the identity of the boy who belongs with, but now that she’s a superstar, anybody with a passing familiarity with pop culture can discern which songs are about, (her ex), or Camilla Belle (the actress girl who stole out from under our heroine). Not that takes great pains to disguise who she’s writing about -- not when she’s writing “Dear John,” an elegant evisceration of lecherous lothario.
Such gossip mongering is titillating but fleeting, suggesting that the charms of are insubstantial, but ’s gift is that she sets the troubled mind of an awkward age in stone. She writes from the perspective of the moment yet has the skill of a songwriter beyond her years, articulating contradictions and confessions with keen detail and strong melody. Tellingly, underneath all her girlishness -- and makes no apologies for being girly as she baits mean girls, dreamily thinks of stolen kisses on a sidewalk, or fantasizes about stealing away her ex-lover at the altar -- there’s a steely strength. She walks away proudly from breakups and never dwells on mistakes; she moves forward.
The same could be said about the sound of itself, which is no great progression from but rather a subtle shift toward pure pop with the country accents, such as the foundation of “Mean,” used as flavoring. But that blend of pop and country, while certainly radio-friendly, is nearly as distinctive to as her songwriting voice. She may be not a girl, and not yet a woman, but on she captures that transition with a personal grace and skill that few singer/songwriters have.
