CELEBRITY
How LUCKY am I to have FALLEN IN love with you ” Do you have any idea how much I miss you EVERY SECOND of the day that we’re not together? Taylor Swift have MADE her choice
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) dropped on July 7. Swift announced the date giving a wink to Swifties that it’s “just in time for July 9,” a date mentioned in her song “Last Kiss.”
It fills me with such pride and joy to announce that my version of Speak Now will be out July 7 (just in time for July 9th, iykyk 😆),” she wrote on Instagram. “I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20.
The songs that came from this time marked by their brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic 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.
With six extra songs I’ve sprung loose from the vault, I absolutely cannot wait to celebrate Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) with you on July 7th.
Pre-order now at TaylorSwift.com.”Others, including the title track, aren’t about her own life. Swift previously said that in the song “Speak Now,” she’s singing about one of her best friends’ relationship with a high school sweetheart, and her friend’s belief that while they went their separate ways after high school, that they may eventually end up together.
Referencing the Kanye West incident (see “Innocent”) and a series of public breakups and criticism, Swift wrote in the prologue notes to Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), “I had the nagging sense that in the most intense moments of my life, I had frozen.
I had said nothing publicly. I still don’t know if it was out of instinct, not wanting to seem impolite, or just overwhelming fear. But I made sure to say it all in these songs. I decided to call the album Speak Now. It was a play on the ‘speak now or forever hold.
