Description
Speak Now is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on October 25, 2010, by Big Machine Records.
Swift wrote the album entirely by herself, and co-produced all tracks with longtime collaborator Nathan Chapman. She described the album as a loose concept album about confessions, inspired by her personal life. The music of Speak Now combines country pop styles of her previous albums with rock sensibility, drawing influences from bluegrass, pop punk, pop rock and soft rock. The lyrics revolve around Swift's recurring romantic themes of love, heartbreak and forgiveness. It transcends the fairy tale-inspired theme of its predecessor, Fearless (2008), to explore Swift's growing maturity in perspectives.
Six songs were released as singles to support Speak Now. Four songs from the album reached the top-10 on the Billboard Hot 100: the first two singles—"Mine" and "Back to December", the promotional single "Speak Now", and the deluxe bonus track "If This Was a Movie". Three singles peaked within the top 20: "Mean", "Sparks Fly", and "Ours". The other single, "The Story of Us", was released to US mainstream pop radio only. Swift promoted the album with the Speak Now World Tour, which ran from February 2011 to March 2012.
Contemporary critics received Speak Now with generally positive reviews, with praise centered on Swift's songwriting craftsmanship. The album debuted atop the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of over one million copies, claiming the biggest one-week sales tally for an album by a female country artist. The album spent six weeks at number one and has sold over 4.71 million copies in the United States. It also peaked atop the charts in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. At the 54th Grammy Awards, Speak Now was nominated for Best Country Album, and the single "Mean" won Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Rolling Stone featured Speak Now in their 2012 list of the "50 Best Female Albums of All Time".
