Taylor Swift releases Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)

Editor Stephen Hill  8th July 2023

Pop superstar Taylor Swift has released a new version of her 2010 album ‘Speak Now’.   The third LP from the star was entirely self-penned and conceived while she promoted her international breakthrough LP, ‘Fearless’, released in 2008. 

‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ includes six unreleased songs, including: Castles Crumbling (From The Vault) featuring Hayley Williams, Electric Touch (From The Vault) featuring Fall Out Boy and I Can See You (From The Vault).  In an Instagram post announcing the release,

 Taylor shared earlier this year: “I first made ‘Speak Now’, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. 

The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diacritic confessions and wild wistfulness.  

 “I love this album because it tells a tale of growing up, flailing, flying and crashing … and living to speak about it.”

Featuring the singles Mine, Ours, Sparks Fly, Mean and The Story of Us, the record sold more than a million copies in its first week and set a record for the highest number of sales by a solo female country artist.
