Speak now is an album I associate with falling in (and out of) love for the first time. It came out a couple months after the relationship turned into a rollercoaster, and when things were good I had sparks fly and enchanted and ours. When things were bad I had last kiss and haunted and dear john. I remember writing superman lyrics in sidewalk chalk outside his house. I actually, literally, would sit on the floor wearing his clothes and crying to last kiss (😬). I desperately wanted someone to drop everything now and meet me in the pouring rain. When I finally got my own car 1 month after it came out, I would just drive around blasting the album and scream singing. Honestly, because of the time it came out, it could be a painful album to listen too, but it's like every word and note is ingrained in my bones, it's a part of me. It helped me embrace the hopeless romantic in me and comforted me when it turned out that was delusional. Really grateful for taylor for making this album and really happy to have icons from that time featured on it. 17 year old me would've lost her mind if you told her there would be a FOB and Paramore collab 13 years later! I also feel so lucky that I got Ours as a surprise song 🥹
Congrats to @taylorswift for owning this self written masterpiece 🫶🏻
