Taylor Swift Speak Now Album and Tour - Associated Content

Around the world, girls AND guys are probably going a little insane. I'll admit, I'm one of them. Taylor's latest album Speak Now is, in my humble opinion, her best yet! She's growing up and her style is  getting a little more grown up too. Speak Now was released worldwide on October 25, 2010 and sold more than 1,046,000 copies in its first week! In case you didn't know, it's kind of a big deal. It was the biggest debut EVER for a country studio album. She's starting her tour in Asia, then heading to Europe before finally finishing off in the U.S. This tour is going to last for almost a year! How crazy is that?

4. Speak Now debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200.

<b>Taylor Swift's</b> 'Speak Now' On Track for Massive Billboard 200 <b>...</b>

by Keith Caulfield, L.A.  |   10? 26, 2010 2:54 EDT

Though we've yet to unveil whether Sugarland's "The Incredible Machine" or Kings of Leon's "Come Around Sundown" has won the battle for the No. 1 crown on this week's Billboard 200 chart, we're already looking at next week's chart, where Taylor Swift's "Speak Now," released on Monday (Oct. 25), is aiming for a monster debut.

Industry prognosticators are suggesting the Big Machine set may arrive with as much as 800,000 to 900,000 copies sold by week's end on Oct. 31. And, there's even a chance it could approach 1 million.

Taylor Swift: The Billboard Cover Story

Swift's start is on track be more than 2010's current biggest week, when Eminem's "Recovery" arrived at No. 1 with 741,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. If "Speak Now's" fortunes turn out to be especially rosy, it could be the industry's first album to sell 1 million copies in one week since Lil Wayne's "Tha Carter III" bowed with 1,006,000 in June of 2008.

"Speak Now's" sales must be music to the industry's ears, after many superstar album releases this year have failed to meet or exceed first-week expectations. A month ago, sources were projecting the "Speak Now" would start with 750,000.

Taylor Swift's last album, "Fearless," started at No. 1 with 592,000 in November 2008 and has sold 6 million.

<b>Taylor Swift's</b> Speak Now: The Reviews Are In! » MTV Newsroom

We're inching steadily toward the holiday season, which means that you'll have to start avoiding your uncles, making frustrating travel plans and purchasing high-profile albums at your local music emporium. The holiday music season began last week with the highly-anticipated new album by Kings of Leon, and this week it gets kicked up a notch with the release of Taylor Swift's excellent new album Speak Now. Swift's third album is a bold step forward for the pop-country crossover star, as it retains much of the same polish and snap as her breakthrough album Fearless but makes moves into much more personal lyrical territory. It's just enough of a gamble to seem bold and just familiar enough to keep current fans satisfied.

But what do the critics think? They are largely in agreement regarding the excellence of Speak Now. In her review in Entertainment Weekly, Leah Greenblatt called Speak Now's songs "perfectly contained snow globes of romance and catharsis, whole cinematic narratives rendered in four-to six-minute miniatures." She added, "Beneath Swift's not-a-girl, not-yet-a-woman sweetness lurks a rigorous and very skillful technique; love may confound her, but the art of expert songcraft clearly doesn't."

Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times is also blown away by Swift's evolution as a songwriter and arranger. "Swift is naming names during the media cycle accompanying this release — the guitarist John 'The Player' Mayer is the cradle-robber in 'Dear John,' Taylor Lautner the lost prince of 'Back to December' — but the gossip surrounding the music is much less interesting than the maturation of her sound," Powers wrote. Chris Willman concurred. "[Speak Now is] an enormous breakthrough in songwriting maturity, while hardly forsaking the childlike lack of pretense that made earlier efforts such guilt-free ear candy," he wrote in The Hollywood Reporter.

Eric Danton of the Hartford Courant also wants people to wade through the tabloid fodder to get to the exquisite songs. "[Speak Now has] provided great fodder as devotees of celebrity gossip speculate on who, exactly, she's singing about," he wrote. "But with Swift's endearing appeal as a singer and ever-growing skill as a songwriter, Speak Now makes for great listening, too."

But the most illuminating review goes to Tris McCall, whose take in the Star-Ledger was especially interesting, as he compared Swift to Paramore singer (and Swift pal) Hayley Williams, literary critic Leslie Fielder and 50 Cent. "Swift could be that once-in-a-generation storyteller who was born to make innocence feel as formidable as a gangster rapper's gat," he wrote. "It's not much of a reach to compare the Swift of Speak Now to an emcee in a beef, and the subjects of some of these songs must be reeling today. Call her a fine, if unimaginative, tunesmith. Call her a skilled weaver of narrative. But don't call her a sweetheart. This princess rules with an iron scepter, and she’s kicking butt and taking names."

What do you think of Taylor Swift's new album Speak Now? Let us know in the comments!

Taylor Swift's 'Speak Now': Take that - Philadelphia Daily News

Posted on Tue, Oct. 26, 2010 By Dan DeLuca

Inquirer Music Critic

Heck hath no fury like a songwriter scorned, and Taylor Swift has the deadliest of combinations at her disposal: a poison pen and a massive audience.

There are 14 songs on Speak Now (Big Machine ***), Swift's highly enjoyable, a-tad-too-long new album, and, as she writes in the CD booklet's "Prologue," all are "open letters. Each is written with a specific person in mind, telling them what I meant to tell them in person."

In the most entertaining episodes on Speak Now, the third full-length effort by the Wyomissing-raised, golden-tressed 20-year-old singer who sold more albums in 2008 and 2009 than any other artist, what Swift meant to say was something like "you did me wrong, buddy. And now it's payback time."

Or as she puts it herself in the Prologue's P.S.: "To all the boys who inspired this album, you should've known. ;)"

And, indeed, they would have, if they'd been paying attention to the body of work of the leggy singer-songwriter, who wrote the words and music to all of the songs on Speak Now, rather than her other attributes. Going back to her 2006 country-pop debut Taylor Swift, the guitarist and songwriter has been settling scores with wayward beaus on tunes like "Picture to Burn," in which she warned: "Go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy / That's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay."

The difference is that now that Swift is a global pop Grammy-winning superstar, the foolhardy fellows in line for comeuppance - or, in some cases, forgiveness - are famous folk who, like her, populate the Web pages of celebrity gossip sheets.

Case in Point No. 1 would be John Mayer, the 33-year-old guitarist and heartbreak specialist who was linked with Swift last year and who would surely seem to be the subject of "Dear John."

(Swift has not officially ID'd which song goes with which household name, though in many instances her subjects are obvious, such as rapper Kanye West, the subject of the patronizing and rather tepid "Innocent," who spoiled Swift's MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech in 2009 and who "I forgive for what he said in front of the whole world.")

Forgiveness is not in the cards for the soulless perpetrator in "Dear John," an almost seven-minute, never-boring power ballad that shouts J'accuse! to a scalawag with a "sick need to give love and then take it away," letting him know that "all the girls that you've run dry / Have tired, lifeless eyes / Cause you've burned them out."

Bad guys aren't the only ones who find themselves stung in Swift's songs. There are bad girls, too, like the subject of "Better Than Revenge," in which she makes a voodoo doll of a boyfriend stealer who is "not a saint, and she's not what you think, she's an actress / But she's better known for the things that she does on the mattress." Web watchers speculate it's about Camilla Belle, Joe Jonas' romantic interest after he and Swift broke up in 2008.

There are others who come under fire in Speak Now, too, like an unnamed critic in the catchy, country-flavored "Mean," who called her vocal skills into question and who "pointed out my flaws again, as if I don't already see them." With the Swift marketing machine behind it, that song is poised to become an anti-bullying anthem:

"Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me / And all you're ever gonna be is mean," Swift sings.

The vulnerability that Swift shows in "Mean," even while lashing out, carries over to other songs.

Putting liars and cheaters in their place makes for lively listening, up to a point. But along with the growing confidence as a writer that is apparent on tunes like "Dear John," the most heartening songs on Speak Now are the ones in which she proves big enough to acknowledge her own shortcomings.

Swift has always been precocious, but she seems more mature than ever on songs like "Back to December," which is allegedly about yet another romance, with muscled-up werewolf boy actor Taylor Lautner. That one ends in heartbreak, too, but this time there's no guilty party for Swift to point the finger at, except the one staring back at her in the mirror.

<b>Taylor Swift</b> - Speak Now Lyrics

Speak Now Lyrics by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Speak Now Lyrics

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I’m a house of cards
You say my name for the first time, baby, and I
Fall in love in an empty bar

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn’t see
What I was thinking of

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

So reach out open handed
And lead me out to that floor
Well I don’t need more paper lanterns
Take me down, baby bring on the movie star

Cause my heart is beating fast
And you are beautiful
I could wait patiently but
I really wish you would

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

http://www.hotnewsonglyrics.com/taylor-swift-speak-now-lyrics.html

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

I run my fingers through your hair
And watch the lights go out
Keep your beautiful eyes on me
Gonna strike this match tonight
Lead me up the staircase
Won’t you whisper soft and slow
I’d love to hate it
But you make it like a fireworks show

Drop everything now
Meet me in the pouring rain
Kiss me on the sidewalk
Take away the pain
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

Get me with those green eyes, baby
As the lights go down
Something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around
Cause I see, sparks fly whenever you smile

<b>Taylor Swift</b> Will 'Speak Now' to United Nations - The Boot

Kevin Winter, Getty ImagesTaylor Swift is only a month away from releasing her new album, 'Speak Now,' all over the world -- literally. The 20-year old will celebrate her CD release by performing songs from the project on her album release date, October 25, at the United Nations in New York City.
The event, which will be streamed live by CMT and MTV networks worldwide, will air across the globe, including in Europe, Latin America, Australia and Asia. Known for her accessibility to fans, in spite of her superstar status, Taylor will also invite several fans, selected from her worldwide 'Speak Now' contest, to accompany her on a cross-country flight from the Big Apple to Los Angeles.
Taylor recently watched 'Mine,' the first single from 'Speak Now,' reach all the way into the top five. But it was the accompanying video, that featured the Grammy winner playing both wife and mom, that had Taylor talking. "The little kids on set were my favorite part about shooting this video, because there was such child-like energy about the whole shoot," Taylor explains to The Boot. "There was always some little kid laughing in the background or screaming and chasing each other around. I nicknamed them 'the Littles.'"
The online concert will stream live at 5:00 PM ET on October 25.
