This just blew my mind haha 🤯 She also closes with Karma, which is the 11th song on her 10th album and 11/10 is a Friday this year. Definitely a stretch since she rarely does the same thing twice, but still 🤡
if ur going off of that, taylor opens with track 3 (style) for the 8th era she performs which is 1989.. so you get 8/3, which is also the date for opening night at LA. (maybe she’ll announce 1989 tv on LA opening night like she did with sntv with nashville opening night?)
Thank you for not being one of those “You weren’t around during the time of this album, therefore this album is not for you so shoo” but being “Since you weren’t there of the time of this album, let me fill you in on everything” kind of person. I really appreciate it!
I like this because people become fans at different times and that's ok I don't like people who are like you're not a real fan if you've not been there from the beginning that annoys me
@@KatieKiki1111 yeah! I’ve only been a fan for about 2 years, but I still know all the songs! And I may not know everything about what happened in the past, but it doesn’t mean I don’t have an idea about what happened
I was there when she announced Speak Now TV and it was truly insane. I think I started to connect the dots when she said “instead of just speaking about it” and then once she showed it on the screen, I started going feral lol. Everyone was crying and screaming and it was like nothing I’ve ever experienced, so magical.
my wishlist; 1. absolutely NO changes to haunted 2. a vault song named “yours” so there can be mine, ours, and yours on the album 3. “i’ve never heard silence quite this LOUDDD”
Wishlist for the album: 1. THE DRUMS. 2. Keeping the better than revenge lyric 3. Hearing the same anger and sadness in her voice as in the original 4. For Dear John TV to be a more angry rather than sad version of the original
Wishlist for this album: 1. Her angst in her voice. That's something I fear we will lose on TV. So I NEED that back! 2. Unchanged lyrics. You explained it, I don't have to explain them again. 3. Acoustic Version on an Extended version of the TV. THEY ARE SO FXCKING GOOD WHERE TF ARE THEY IN THE STANDARD VERSION?????????? Will update once I have more ideas.
When Taylor says on her Speak Now TV announcement post “And the lump in my throat expands to a quivering voice as I say this” This reminds me of her breaths and hesitations during Last Kiss. It can also hint to a lyric in a future vault track! 💜💜💜
@@AllySheehan I would love for them to collaborate but I’m not sure whether that’ll happen…? Just because it’s supposed to be her self written album & she doesn’t have any other collabs on it. So excited for speak now (Taylor’s version) 💜💜💜
I NEED for her to remake the “I’ve never heard silence quiet this louuud” exactly how it is, it’s one of my favourite moments in speak now AND I need for the instrument build up after the bridge in long live when she says “I had the time of my life… with youuuu” to be the same. I can’t wait for July 7th, I’m gonna die when I hear the first “I I I I” of mine 💜💜💜🥺🥺🥺
I think she won't change the lyric in better than revenge but will make a music video that will change the narrative in a genius way! + Pleaaaase make that everything-you-need-to-know-video!!!
I’m probably most excited for long live, because there’s an emotional stake there that you don’t find often I feel like. It’s not heartbreak, not angst, and I know it was written for the fans, but it’s that ‘love letter’ to people you feel so close to in the present, whether it’s a short time like camp, or high school and moving on, it’s such a beautiful sentiment
"but like, throw in a banjo" has me cackling. The fact that the cover of this re-record is by far the best yet makes me so hopeful that it will be everything our dreams are made of. I have been relistening to every album in preparation for tour, and Speak Now has always been, will always be my favorite
Hitting pause at 4:52. I was at night 2 in Nashville with my daughter. I would argue that it was the best of the three nights! First off, I made a blinged-out I Don’t Know traffic light on my shirt. In addition to Taylor saying she loves the effort put into everyone’s outfits, she specifically said something like: “Some outfits are even based on a single lyric like a TRAFFIC LIGHT!!!" OMG people around me were screaming and pointing at me. I keep hoping I will find that audio in a clip somewhere on RUclips. 🤞 The city of Nashville installed a beautiful bench in Centennial Park & dedicated it to Taylor. We visited & there was a very long line to sit on it & pose with it. For that reason, ONLY on night 2, Taylor substituted back in Invisible String in place of The One. I was very surprised she did not repeat that for night 3. The city’s big bridge was lit up in purple the whole wknd! Also on night 2, she performed Out of the Woods & 15. Abigail was there & Taylor changed the lyrics for her! Night 2 also had GAYLE as the first opening act. I didn’t know she is a local Nashville girl! It was fantastic to hear 70,000 people loudly singing ABCDE FU & your mom… I fortunately introduced my daughter to the song earlier in the day, so she could join me in having a proper potty mouth. 😂 That was also the night Matty Healy joined boygenius with Phoebe Bridgers. He got booed (bc he’s a stupid racist and/or Taylor’s rebound lol). Our floor seats were right up against the lip of the stage, so we had lots of face time with Taylor‘s backup singers & band. OMG the configuration of seats face the cat walk rather than toward the stage, so our tickets were ROW 13❣️😱1️⃣3️⃣ Oh & it didn’t rain like nights 1&3! 😂🌊
17:35 I think she'll play Better Than Revenge as a surprise song on her 7/7 show, and she'll explain the song before she plays it. Commonly tabloids have been reproducing things Taylor had talked on concerts, so that would be a perfect opportunity to talk about it to the general public. Also, I think a social media post that talks about better than revenge is also bound to happen on the release date of Speak Now TV
I’ve always felt like Last Kiss was super underrated. It’s the All Too Well of Speak Now to me, heartbreaking imagery in poetic sounding lyrics, storytelling like the Boss Bitch Miss Swift is & has always been. I’m really hoping the re-record brings a new audience appreciation & am fingers crossed for a music video. 💜🤞🏼
Speak Now truly encompasses what it is like to be an angsty teen! I remember my mom always getting slightly annoyed when I sang better than revenge at the top of my lungs on my way to school on my Target Deluxe Version of the album of course! I am so interested in what the Taylorx2 footage is for! Story of us is one of my all time favorite Taylor music videos! I love how she starts off so put together and the more she leans into her emotion her hair becomes gradually more disheveled! The attention to detail is amazing!
ally, as a fellow speak now girlie, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for creating these videos as not only a safe space, but a place to share chaotically amazing energy with you!! (no really your vibes and everything are unmatched) you really are such a mentor and person i really look up to :) incredibly excited for speak now and YOUR ALBUM REACTION!! 💜🤞🤞
i'm only 14, so speak now was released in my birth year so i wasn't really around for it. however, as i've grown up and become a fan, it has become one of my favorite albums, and i genuinely can't wait to hear it. thank you for this video and for making me feel good, your reaction made me tear up💜 the track i'm most excited for is innocent, because to me, that song has always felt like it was written for me, because I didn't have the best childhood and i feel guilty about a lot of things that weren't my fault. But innocent is all like "Who you are is not where you've been" and "your string of lights are still bright to me," like it's saying that it's not your fault and you still deserve innocence because you're still kind of a kid. p.s. i love your speak now shrine in the back
Omg !!! There’s a bit in long live where she sings differently it’s like a shouty growly thing I can’t even explain. It’s the bit near the end where she goes “I had the time of my life…. *WITH YOUUUUUU, LONG LONG* LIVE” Her voice just sounds like I’ve never heard it it’s quite low, sounds so naturally cool and raw which I hope she keeps. Also, every part of haunted is flawless to me, I’m so scared it’ll change 😅
I was there when she announced speak now tv, and the whole night felt magical, and it did FEEL DIFFRIENT. Walking in the signs were all purple, they said things like "welcome home Taylor.'' and i thought on one hand it was me clowning again lol, but it just FELT DIFFIRENT AGAIN. the bracelets were randomly blinking purple, and i was losing it. ALSO for n1 is was in the 300s (nosebleeds) and i was watching the evermore era and the bracelets staring lighting up spelling things across from me, and i starting texting my friend one section below me and THEY STARTED SPELLING "speak now" and "long live" and by this point i was thinking in the very BACK of my mind i always had the "what if she announced tonight" THEN she came out and started saying things like ''I have special surprises for tonight." and when she got to Suprise songs, and she started being like "there is a particular reason i am excited for tonight" and i started catching on, when i came up on the screen i literally jumped up, screaming and crying for 5 minutes lol, and everyone was shocked , it was actually the best moment of my life lololol, and then i heard "drop everything now" and the crying continued.
as someone who went night 2 of nashville, hearing out of the woods and getting to scream the bridge TWICE with taylor was truly magical :) (also i sobbed when she did fifteen on the piano)
I would LOVE LOVE LOVEE a deep dive into this album. It is so special to me and you and a lot of other swifties! I am so excited and I would love to hear about this album and the stories about each song 💜 (p.s. I don’t think she will change btr)
oh my gosh i became a really hardcore swiftie back in October when midnights came out, and after i listened to speak now it quickly became one of my favorite albums (if not my favorite) and i cried when she announced the re-record. i found your videos recently and i love watching them, so i'd love to see a video about the context of speak now and all that was happening when she wrote it so i know everything when the album comes out!! also thank you for sharing not only the information and context for the songs but also your personal connection as well, it just makes the videos that much better. 💜
Thrilled to see someone else who is obsessed with the "so loud" on Story of Us! I have loved it from the very first day. My biggest wish list item is one I'm kind of scared we won't get, and it's the way she sings the final chorus of Long Live. Or, like, all of Long Live. It sounds like she can't even believe it, and there is such a pure joy, and almost like a cry of victory in her voice. Re-recording Taylor has been very focused on improving the vocals, but sometimes I think the more raw, unpolished vocals portray the emotion better.
yessss and the bridge too! the emotion in that!! i agree about the vocals and i'd probably be focusing on that too if i were her, rather than a fan who already loved the vocals and just desperately needs that emotion
I am a new Swiftie since Lover came out. I am also older (in my 50s) so I think it's because she is more relatable to me. So, now I am immersed in it all and would love for you to discuss Speak Now. I have Lover, Folklore, Evermore (my favorite and these three are my absolute!!!!) Red tv, Fearless tv, Midnights and will continue to buy as they are released. She is hands down a brilliant writer and I love how she supports the under dog, uses her voice, is dedicated to her craft and supports and loves her fans among a laundry list of other things. I am here for it!!! I hope I get the opportunity to see her live one day, but have a feeling she is moving on to doing other things.
I'm a baby swiftie, and when I say 'baby', I mean that I kind of started stalking the swiftie fandom on Instagram for a few months from Midnights' release to around the beginning of the Eras Tour, which was when I decided to see what everyone was talking about (I was so overwhelmed by all her albums that I googled 'best Taylor Swift albums for beginners' lmao). This is going to be my first 'real' era and I am so excited! I feel like I'm still trying to keep up with all the TS lore and stories and I've been loving your videos as a way to understand everything. So far Speak Now is my favorite album and I can't wait for a video explaining all the stories and lore behind this era!
As someone who's more of a later fan (wasn't until around Lover that I fully got on board), I'm just excited to hear the songs I've missed and listen to the album in full for the first time!
My speak now wish list: 1. She has to go full on country for mean (especially the bridge 😂) 2. The iconic shaky breaths in last kiss 😭 3. A very angry ‘you should have known’ at the end or dear John 4. I’m pretty sure she will because of past experience with Hey Stephen but I’m so excited to hear the giggle in speak now 5. The way she sings ‘I really wish you would’ in sparks fly
Saw this when it was posted 13 seconds ago. Of course 💜💜💜💜 Soooo excited to hear you talk about this album. RAN to this video the second I got the notification
Speak now is such a phenomenal album and the first TS album that made me a swiftie in the first place! I'm so glad we get to witness, hear, sing along, freak out and celebrate her version in 2023!! KUDOS 💜✨
I would LOVE a "what you need to know" video because i got back into Taylor during the Lover era, and then again recently with Midnights, so I've been eating up all of the TS lore. You're the most informative and respectful when it comes to her and I'd love to see it!
I'm fully with you for wanting a Taylor & Kelsea collaboration. Been a fan of Kelsea since the beginning & after Taylor brought her out on the 1989 tour, it's been a huge need for me 💜
I was there and I have never screamed so loud! When she said “rather than speaking on it..” I knew! And I cried! Like you, Speak Now is my favorite album and was such a huge part of my childhood! When I think about my time as a Swiftie, the main thing I remember is listening to Speak Now for the first time and decoding the secret messages. So nostalgic 💜 AND on top of that, Teardrops on my Guitar was the first Taylor song I ever heard, so when she played that after Sparks Fly, I cried AGAIN! It was an absolutely perfect night!
I was at Nashville N1 and as soon as she said "instead of speaking about it..." I knew. It was such an iconic moment, I basically blacked out screaming and crying with excitement bc speak now is my fav album too!!! my literal dreams came true.
I think we are going to get a “the more Speak Now chapter” with co-written unreleased songs Something similar to the more Lover/Red chapters where we get an extra song or two that’s not on the album
My biggest that’s so raven moment was saying on the Monday in my group chat and to all my friends that she was gonna announce speak now on Friday and that I could feel it in my bones… and that it’d be crazy if she announced it at the show and done sparks fly afterwards. I will NEVER forget the day
Speak Now is also my favorite album of all time (Red being a close follow up lol) so let me tell you I SOBBED when I saw the announcement on TikTok. It literally made my whole summer. I agree I think a paramore feature would be iconic! And since they opened for her in Arizona maybeeeee it’s a possibility?!? I desperately also am hoping she keeps the brokenness intact in Last Kiss and the “loud” in The Story of Us. All of those things are quintessential speak now parts for me. I would love ALL the videos!! Definitely a reaction vid, you’re one of the only people who I know gets as excited for this stuff as me 😂❤
thank you ally for creating this space where we can all be so excited about things that are so often judged as childish 💛 speak now was not my favorite album but because of you i can finally give it the love it deserves (and scream with taylor on the story of us haha). so excited for 07/07 ✨
My reaction to the announcement woke up my husband. I was checking the surprise songs and saw the announcement instead & lost my cool. The songs I am most excited for are Never Grow Up, Long Live & Haunted with her new vocals. Mean has always been one of the most meaningful song for me I can not wait to get Taylors Version.
Hello I was in Nashville on 5/5 and tbh my life is before and after this concert like I witnessed history unfold in front of my eyes. I personally felt like speak now would be coming soon but had no idea until she spoke right before it was announced that it was happening THAT day if that makes sense. The first time I ever perceived Taylor was on Country Music Television performing Teardrops on my Guitar and that being one of the surprise songs… words could never describe my feelings.
Ally’s Vault Predictions: How right are they? - Let’s Go / Battle ❎ - Castles Crumbling ✅ - Joe Jonas Song ✅ - More VMAs Song ❎ - Taylor Lautner Song ❎ - Yours ❎ - Better Off ❎ - Bother Me ❎ - Foolish One ✅ - His Lies ❎ - I Can See You ✅ - Someone Just Told Me ❎ - If Kisses Were Wishes ❎ - Wonderful Things ❎ (she also got Hayley being a feature right and even said FOB, the other one, was possible so good job on that)
When she said “instead of Speaking about it” I knew… But I also had a feeeling the entire time because Nashville is where Speak Now was written. So, I felt it in my bones. Once she started singing Sparks Fly… I blacked out lol. I don’t really remember anything else lol. That night really was sparkling.
i was there in that crowd, row 2, section m… it was absolutely insane, magical and emotional for everyone 🥹💜 i still remember facing taylor and turning around slowly to face the big screen and my jaw dropped and my mind couldnt process watching in cursive write “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” i’m still in recovery
Omg, this video made me more excited about Speak Now being rereleased than I already was before. It would be so cool to have a backstory of Speak Now since it's one of my favorites and I only joined the fandom in the evermore era. I love your videos so much, you have the best vibe it's like having an older swiftie sister :)
This album is pure endorphins for me. i have been aggressively anticipating since the bejeweled mv i knew it was coming!!!💜 off topic, but You’re Losing Me is quite literally a rip your heart out song. soul crushing folklore/Lover sound, its too much. 😭
ally i adore you!! being a fairly new swiftie who wasnt around in the speak now era, i love videos like this cause i feel so included, so thank you so much :) also im genuinely fearing for my life this album is going to break me even more than the original 😭
I WAS THERE!!!!!! I knew as soon as the show started and she said she had a surprise that something big would happen!! And then before the surprise songs she was acting all giddy and suspicious and I just knew it would be big. As soon as she said “Instead of Speaking about it” I KNEW I was at the best show of the whole tour!!!!!
I have never been so excited for an album in my life! Definitely my favorite album of all time💜 I would love any videos about Speak Now💜 I would actually love a rewrite of Innocent, as much as I love the song it is really weird to listen to now, so I wish she wrote a version of talking to her younger self, just imagining a song of reassuring that version of herself that even though she was going through so much with all that pain for her to now say you are still innocent no matter what everyone has said YOU ARE INNOCENT. That would honestly break my heart in the best way😭💜💜💜
I WAS THERE THE NIGHT SHE ANNOUNCED IT!!!! i thought maybe something was going on but i DEFINITELY didn’t think it was speak now TV, when she announced it on the screen my jaw was just dropped and no noise came out😂😂 then she immediately went into Sparks Fly and i lost my mind
as a speak now stan, here’s my wishlist lol: 1. the shaky breath in last kiss. 2. let’s go (battle) as a vault track 3. an unchanged better than revenge
Definitely would like to hear you talking about the story behind Speak Now at the time. Became a swiftie with Folklore/Evermore + because of your ranking every TS song video ! So happy for you that you’re finally getting Speak Now (Taylor’s version) ☺️ And looking forward to loving the album when she owns it !
I love your content so much! Thanks for creating such a fun and welcoming RUclips channel. You’re one of my favorites for sure! So excited for Speak Now TV!! 💜💜💜
I’m in a conflicting state because midnights and speak now are my 2nd and 3rd fave albums: I’m so sad midnight era is ending but I’m excited to be reliving my other fave
literally you put it so well. this album meant SO much to me when i was a kid and the excitement i have this rerelease is unparalleled. just watching the announcement again makes me cry because i truly cannot describe how integral this album was to me. this album was the album i stopped caring if it was “uncool” to like her and i fell head over heels. i still have my OG copy of the CD (although the CD inserts and lyric book are missing) and i cannot wait to buy TV 🥰
i'm so so so excited for speak now tv!!! i have one swiftie friend who lives in a different state than me, so we have a plan to listen to the album when it comes out over facetime! my biggest wish is for more of the vault songs to have the almost rock energy of haunted/the story of us, i just love the way the guitar sounds and i bet it would be a great way for taylor to really flex her matured vocals. also not you literally predicting both featured artists lmaoo
The 2 things I wouldn't want changed are 1. The little giggle she does in the middle of speak now 2. The OH OHH OHHH at the start of Mine every time I hear it I know it's about to be a good time. (Btw Thank you, I never hear ANYONE talking About mine and it is literally a masterpiece and my favourite song ever. You're like the big sister I never had)
follow along as i slowly lose my mind until july 7th: instagram.com/agirlnamedally 🦋✨💜

Oh my god of Avril was on speak now tv my millennial brain would absolutely melt.
HELLO?
right!!
My mp3 player in middle and high school was all Taylor and Avril (plus one Berryz Koubou album) so I would never be the same
Mama doctor Jones is here 🤯
I hope it doesn't happen JUST because it's an entirely self-made album so
Wishlist for the album:
1. THE DRUMS.
2. Keeping the better than revenge lyric
3. Hearing the same anger and sadness in her voice as in the original
4. For Dear John TV to be a more angry rather than sad version of the original
Yes!! All of this 100%
Kinda hoping she'll change "messed with" in Dear John to something more explicit 🫣
Wishlist for this album:
1. Her angst in her voice. That's something I fear we will lose on TV. So I NEED that back!
2. Unchanged lyrics. You explained it, I don't have to explain them again.

I NEED for her to remake the “I’ve never heard silence quiet this louuud” exactly how it is, it’s one of my favourite moments in speak now AND I need for the instrument build up after the bridge in long live when she says “I had the time of my life… with youuuu” to be the same. I can’t wait for July 7th, I’m gonna die when I hear the first “I I I I” of mine 💜💜💜🥺🥺🥺
I think she won't change the lyric in better than revenge but will make a music video that will change the narrative in a genius way! + Pleaaaase make that everything-you-need-to-know-video!!!
I’m probably most excited for long live, because there’s an emotional stake there that you don’t find often I feel like. It’s not heartbreak, not angst, and I know it was written for the fans, but it’s that ‘love letter’ to people you feel so close to in the present, whether it’s a short time like camp, or high school and moving on, it’s such a beautiful sentiment
oh no now i’m gonna associate long live with camp and bawl even harder 😭😭😭💖💖💖💖
as a Swiftie who joined in the Red era, I would looove a deep dive into Speak Now from you Ally 💜💜💜
"but like, throw in a banjo" has me cackling.
The fact that the cover of this re-record is by far the best yet makes me so hopeful that it will be everything our dreams are made of. I have been relistening to every album in preparation for tour, and Speak Now has always been, will always be my favorite
Hitting pause at 4:52. I was at night 2 in Nashville with my daughter. I would argue that it was the best of the three nights! First off, I made a blinged-out I Don’t Know traffic light on my shirt. In addition to Taylor saying she loves the effort put into everyone’s outfits, she specifically said something like: “Some outfits are even based on a single lyric like a TRAFFIC LIGHT!!!" OMG people around me were screaming and pointing at me. I keep hoping I will find that audio in a clip somewhere on RUclips. 🤞
The city of Nashville installed a beautiful bench in Centennial Park & dedicated it to Taylor. We visited & there was a very long line to sit on it & pose with it. For that reason, ONLY on night 2, Taylor substituted back in Invisible String in place of The One. I was very surprised she did not repeat that for night 3. The city’s big bridge was lit up in purple the whole wknd!
Also on night 2, she performed Out of the Woods & 15. Abigail was there & Taylor changed the lyrics for her! Night 2 also had GAYLE as the first opening act. I didn’t know she is a local Nashville girl! It was fantastic to hear 70,000 people loudly singing ABCDE FU & your mom… I fortunately introduced my daughter to the song earlier in the day, so she could join me in having a proper potty mouth. 😂 That was also the night Matty Healy joined boygenius with Phoebe Bridgers. He got booed (bc he’s a stupid racist and/or Taylor’s rebound lol). Our floor seats were right up against the lip of the stage, so we had lots of face time with Taylor‘s backup singers & band. OMG the configuration of seats face the cat walk rather than toward the stage, so our tickets were ROW 13❣️😱1️⃣3️⃣ Oh & it didn’t rain like nights 1&3! 😂🌊
I was there night 1, it only rained a little during the openers.
OMG U WERE SO RIGHT ABOUT FEATURES ON THE ALBUM AND SOME VAULT TRACKS HOW R U DOING ITTTT
17:35 I think she'll play Better Than Revenge as a surprise song on her 7/7 show, and she'll explain the song before she plays it. Commonly tabloids have been reproducing things Taylor had talked on concerts, so that would be a perfect opportunity to talk about it to the general public. Also, I think a social media post that talks about better than revenge is also bound to happen on the release date of Speak Now TV
I think so too!
Yeah I can imagine her taking a similar approach with that song as Hayley Williams has with Misery Business.
reading all the comments is so wholesome i love that we all share so much love for this album ❤ it makes me so happy
my community are the best best best kindest coolest people in the world, i love reading the comments too 🥹🥹
I’ve always felt like Last Kiss was super underrated.

Speak Now truly encompasses what it is like to be an angsty teen! I remember my mom always getting slightly annoyed when I sang better than revenge at the top of my lungs on my way to school on my Target Deluxe Version of the album of course! I am so interested in what the Taylorx2 footage is for! Story of us is one of my all time favorite Taylor music videos! I love how she starts off so put together and the more she leans into her emotion her hair becomes gradually more disheveled! The attention to detail is amazing!
ally, as a fellow speak now girlie, THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart for creating these videos as not only a safe space, but a place to share chaotically amazing energy with you!! (no really your vibes and everything are unmatched) you really are such a mentor and person i really look up to :) incredibly excited for speak now and YOUR ALBUM REACTION!! 💜🤞🤞
thank you so much petra!
@@AllySheehan i’m so grateful you replied, that really made my day ally, thank you!! 💜💜
i'm only 14, so speak now was released in my birth year so i wasn't really around for it. however, as i've grown up and become a fan, it has become one of my favorite albums, and i genuinely can't wait to hear it. thank you for this video and for making me feel good, your reaction made me tear up💜
the track i'm most excited for is innocent, because to me, that song has always felt like it was written for me, because I didn't have the best childhood and i feel guilty about a lot of things that weren't my fault. But innocent is all like "Who you are is not where you've been" and "your string of lights are still bright to me," like it's saying that it's not your fault and you still deserve innocence because you're still kind of a kid.
p.s. i love your speak now shrine in the back
I was there that night she announced Speak Now tv and girl the energy was unmatched! We all knew when she said “I’m not going to speak about it”. 💜
“To quote my favorite athlete, it really feels like we’re all in this together.” 😂😂😂
Omg !!! There’s a bit in long live where she sings differently it’s like a shouty growly thing I can’t even explain. It’s the bit near the end where she goes “I had the time of my life…. *WITH YOUUUUUU, LONG LONG* LIVE” Her voice just sounds like I’ve never heard it it’s quite low, sounds so naturally cool and raw which I hope she keeps. Also, every part of haunted is flawless to me, I’m so scared it’ll change 😅
I was there when she announced speak now tv, and the whole night felt magical, and it did FEEL DIFFRIENT. Walking in the signs were all purple, they said things like "welcome home Taylor.'' and i thought on one hand it was me clowning again lol, but it just FELT DIFFIRENT AGAIN. the bracelets were randomly blinking purple, and i was losing it. ALSO for n1 is was in the 300s (nosebleeds) and i was watching the evermore era and the bracelets staring lighting up spelling things across from me, and i starting texting my friend one section below me and THEY STARTED SPELLING "speak now" and "long live" and by this point i was thinking in the very BACK of my mind i always had the "what if she announced tonight" THEN she came out and started saying things like ''I have special surprises for tonight." and when she got to Suprise songs, and she started being like "there is a particular reason i am excited for tonight" and i started catching on, when i came up on the screen i literally jumped up, screaming and crying for 5 minutes lol, and everyone was shocked , it was actually the best moment of my life lololol, and then i heard "drop everything now" and the crying continued.
oh my god i got chills reading this hahah
as someone who went night 2 of nashville, hearing out of the woods and getting to scream the bridge TWICE with taylor was truly magical :) (also i sobbed when she did fifteen on the piano)
yeah you guys were SO lucky too!! Fifteen would have ended me
@@AllySheehan i love urs vids ty for replying
Honestly, I would love to see 1.extended version of Dear Johm or enchanted.
2. Acoustic Enchanted
3. Unchanged lyrics
Extended Dear John actually sounds like it could work, although I’ve only skipped around a bit of Dear John
“(Shining like fireworks) OVER YOUR SAD EMPTY TOWN” sound is SO Avril like I can so clearly hear her influence in that part of Dear John! 😍🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think Haunted is very underrated and it is a masterpiece!!!
completely agree and i think after SNTV everyone is going to realise this!!
Haunted is one of my favourite songs from Speak Now!
@@KatieKiki1111 same!!! :)
now i'll sit in the corner thinking about how BADLY i want rep tv now omggg i will be UNSTOPPABLE
I would LOVE LOVE LOVEE a deep dive into this album. It is so special to me and you and a lot of other swifties! I am so excited and I would love to hear about this album and the stories about each song 💜 (p.s. I don’t think she will change btr)
oh my gosh i became a really hardcore swiftie back in October when midnights came out, and after i listened to speak now it quickly became one of my favorite albums (if not my favorite) and i cried when she announced the re-record.
i found your videos recently and i love watching them, so i'd love to see a video about the context of speak now and all that was happening when she wrote it so i know everything when the album comes out!! also thank you for sharing not only the information and context for the songs but also your personal connection as well, it just makes the videos that much better. 💜
Thrilled to see someone else who is obsessed with the "so loud" on Story of Us! I have loved it from the very first day.
My biggest wish list item is one I'm kind of scared we won't get, and it's the way she sings the final chorus of Long Live. Or, like, all of Long Live. It sounds like she can't even believe it, and there is such a pure joy, and almost like a cry of victory in her voice. Re-recording Taylor has been very focused on improving the vocals, but sometimes I think the more raw, unpolished vocals portray the emotion better.
yessss and the bridge too! the emotion in that!!
i agree about the vocals and i'd probably be focusing on that too if i were her, rather than a fan who already loved the vocals and just desperately needs that emotion
Sameee
As a Swiftie since the Fearless era, it’s so nostalgic for me to re-experience these previous eras in a new and different way.
completely agree!
I am a new Swiftie since Lover came out. I am also older (in my 50s) so I think it's because she is more relatable to me. So, now I am immersed in it all and would love for you to discuss Speak Now. I have Lover, Folklore, Evermore (my favorite and these three are my absolute!!!!) Red tv, Fearless tv, Midnights and will continue to buy as they are released. She is hands down a brilliant writer and I love how she supports the under dog, uses her voice, is dedicated to her craft and supports and loves her fans among a laundry list of other things. I am here for it!!! I hope I get the opportunity to see her live one day, but have a feeling she is moving on to doing other things.
I'm a baby swiftie, and when I say 'baby', I mean that I kind of started stalking the swiftie fandom on Instagram for a few months from Midnights' release to around the beginning of the Eras Tour, which was when I decided to see what everyone was talking about (I was so overwhelmed by all her albums that I googled 'best Taylor Swift albums for beginners' lmao). This is going to be my first 'real' era and I am so excited! I feel like I'm still trying to keep up with all the TS lore and stories and I've been loving your videos as a way to understand everything. So far Speak Now is my favorite album and I can't wait for a video explaining all the stories and lore behind this era!
As someone who's more of a later fan (wasn't until around Lover that I fully got on board), I'm just excited to hear the songs I've missed and listen to the album in full for the first time!
So excited for you!!!
My speak now wish list:
1. She has to go full on country for mean (especially the bridge 😂)
2. The iconic shaky breaths in last kiss 😭
3. A very angry ‘you should have known’ at the end or dear John
4. I’m pretty sure she will because of past experience with Hey Stephen but I’m so excited to hear the giggle in speak now
5. The way she sings ‘I really wish you would’ in sparks fly
This was so fun, please do the Speak Now era deep dive!! 💜💜💜
Need the same production in the album with the godly strings and dramatic feel!!!!! I just need all the drama again because it is so iconic
the day speak now was announced the sky was purple so taylor really is a mastermind
I was literally gonna come here to say the Last Kiss breath is a MUST HAVE💜💜💜 Love you Ally!!
Saw this when it was posted 13 seconds ago. Of course 💜💜💜💜 Soooo excited to hear you talk about this album. RAN to this video the second I got the notification
Speak now is such a phenomenal album and the first TS album that made me a swiftie in the first place! I'm so glad we get to witness, hear, sing along, freak out and celebrate her version in 2023!! KUDOS 💜✨
I would LOVE a "what you need to know" video because i got back into Taylor during the Lover era, and then again recently with Midnights, so I've been eating up all of the TS lore. You're the most informative and respectful when it comes to her and I'd love to see it!
Oh that is so kind of you to say, thank you! I will definitely get to work on it 💖
GIRL YOU CALLED IT! Fallout Boy and Hayley Williams!!!
i-
I'm fully with you for wanting a Taylor & Kelsea collaboration. Been a fan of Kelsea since the beginning & after Taylor brought her out on the 1989 tour, it's been a huge need for me 💜
I was there and I have never screamed so loud! When she said “rather than speaking on it..” I knew! And I cried! Like you, Speak Now is my favorite album and was such a huge part of my childhood! When I think about my time as a Swiftie, the main thing I remember is listening to Speak Now for the first time and decoding the secret messages. So nostalgic 💜
AND on top of that, Teardrops on my Guitar was the first Taylor song I ever heard, so when she played that after Sparks Fly, I cried AGAIN! It was an absolutely perfect night!
I was at Nashville N1 and as soon as she said "instead of speaking about it..." I knew. It was such an iconic moment, I basically blacked out screaming and crying with excitement bc speak now is my fav album too!!! my literal dreams came true.
Your feature predictions are insanely accurate! Subscribed
I think we are going to get a “the more Speak Now chapter” with co-written unreleased songs
Something similar to the more Lover/Red chapters where we get an extra song or two that’s not on the album
My biggest that’s so raven moment was saying on the Monday in my group chat and to all my friends that she was gonna announce speak now on Friday and that I could feel it in my bones… and that it’d be crazy if she announced it at the show and done sparks fly afterwards. I will NEVER forget the day
Speak Now is also my favorite album of all time (Red being a close follow up lol) so let me tell you I SOBBED when I saw the announcement on TikTok. It literally made my whole summer. I agree I think a paramore feature would be iconic! And since they opened for her in Arizona maybeeeee it’s a possibility?!? I desperately also am hoping she keeps the brokenness intact in Last Kiss and the “loud” in The Story of Us. All of those things are quintessential speak now parts for me.
I would love ALL the videos!! Definitely a reaction vid, you’re one of the only people who I know gets as excited for this stuff as me 😂❤
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR YOUR SPEAK NOW TV VIDEO SINCE IT WAS ANNOUNCED!! SHES FINALLY HEREE AHHHHHH!! 🥰🥰🥰💜💜💜
thank you ally for creating this space where we can all be so excited about things that are so often judged as childish 💛 speak now was not my favorite album but because of you i can finally give it the love it deserves (and scream with taylor on the story of us haha). so excited for 07/07 ✨
The hair, the makeup, the vibes, the cardigan, the 13 on the hand, the purple nails, EVERYTHING!!! So beautiful!
My reaction to the announcement woke up my husband. I was checking the surprise songs and saw the announcement instead & lost my cool. The songs I am most excited for are Never Grow Up, Long Live & Haunted with her new vocals. Mean has always been one of the most meaningful song for me I can not wait to get Taylors Version.
Hello I was in Nashville on 5/5 and tbh my life is before and after this concert like I witnessed history unfold in front of my eyes. I personally felt like speak now would be coming soon but had no idea until she spoke right before it was announced that it was happening THAT day if that makes sense. The first time I ever perceived Taylor was on Country Music Television performing Teardrops on my Guitar and that being one of the surprise songs… words could never describe my feelings.

(she also got Hayley being a feature right and even said FOB, the other one, was possible so good job on that)
Castles Crumbling could technically be a VMA song. It’s rumored that she wrote because of that.
@@raquelking6323 that is really fair but idkkk
When she said “instead of Speaking about it” I knew… But I also had a feeeling the entire time because Nashville is where Speak Now was written. So, I felt it in my bones.
Once she started singing Sparks Fly… I blacked out lol. I don’t really remember anything else lol.
That night really was sparkling.
ALLY we want everything, all the backstory and lead up, all the hype, the full 2 hour reaction!!!
i was there in that crowd, row 2, section m… it was absolutely insane, magical and emotional for everyone 🥹💜 i still remember facing taylor and turning around slowly to face the big screen and my jaw dropped and my mind couldnt process watching in cursive write “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” i’m still in recovery
I’m so happy for you! And don’t worry about the haters, they’re just gonna hate hate hate hate hate.
Omg, this video made me more excited about Speak Now being rereleased than I already was before. It would be so cool to have a backstory of Speak Now since it's one of my favorites and I only joined the fandom in the evermore era. I love your videos so much, you have the best vibe it's like having an older swiftie sister :)
As a person who became a fan in rep era the deep dive was really intresting into what the fandom was 13 years ago.
9:01 I would love this!! 💕
This album is pure endorphins for me. i have been aggressively anticipating since the bejeweled mv i knew it was coming!!!💜
off topic, but You’re Losing Me is quite literally a rip your heart out song. soul crushing folklore/Lover sound, its too much. 😭
ally i adore you!! being a fairly new swiftie who wasnt around in the speak now era, i love videos like this cause i feel so included, so thank you so much :) also im genuinely fearing for my life this album is going to break me even more than the original 😭
I WAS THERE!!!!!! I knew as soon as the show started and she said she had a surprise that something big would happen!! And then before the surprise songs she was acting all giddy and suspicious and I just knew it would be big. As soon as she said “Instead of Speaking about it” I KNEW I was at the best show of the whole tour!!!!!
I have never been so excited for an album in my life! Definitely my favorite album of all time💜 I would love any videos about Speak Now💜 I would actually love a rewrite of Innocent, as much as I love the song it is really weird to listen to now, so I wish she wrote a version of talking to her younger self, just imagining a song of reassuring that version of herself that even though she was going through so much with all that pain for her to now say you are still innocent no matter what everyone has said YOU ARE INNOCENT. That would honestly break my heart in the best way😭💜💜💜
Thank you for your all your coverage of Taylor Swift! Can't wait for the release of Speak Now TV! 💜
As a speak now girlie I not just want but NEED more speak now content from you!!!! 💜💜💜✨
The fact that she had her “last kiss” with Joe now 😭
Ally you’ve hit 70k OMG YAYY!!!! WELL DONE GIRL ❤💜💜💜
Tell me Ally did not just predict the Hayley collab!!!!
and fall out boy omg
I'm so excited to hear her sing the story of us with her new vocals❤❤
And especially the i've never heard silence quite this loud line
how iconic of you to guess paramore and fall out boy
i cannot believe it
I WAS THERE THE NIGHT SHE ANNOUNCED IT!!!! i thought maybe something was going on but i DEFINITELY didn’t think it was speak now TV, when she announced it on the screen my jaw was just dropped and no noise came out😂😂 then she immediately went into Sparks Fly and i lost my mind
as a speak now stan, here’s my wishlist lol:
1. the shaky breath in last kiss.
2. let’s go (battle) as a vault track
3. an unchanged better than revenge
Omg Ally please give us a "what you nee to know" vid. And like what all the songs are about and why she wrote them!!
I swear taylor’s in my walls bc I was watching a video of the announcement and when she announced it I got the email to preorder the album
Definitely would like to hear you talking about the story behind Speak Now at the time. Became a swiftie with Folklore/Evermore + because of your ranking every TS song video ! So happy for you that you’re finally getting Speak Now (Taylor’s version) ☺️ And looking forward to loving the album when she owns it !
I can’t wait to get the cd of the album ❤
Yes @allysheehan, what you said at 09:01. I'm a new fan. I NEED more details about the actual songs. We'd all be so grateful. Thankyou..🥳
I have been rationing my last bottle of the red wonderstruck perfume for years and would 100% stock up on more if she rereleased it.
I love your content so much! Thanks for creating such a fun and welcoming RUclips channel. You’re one of my favorites for sure! So excited for Speak Now TV!! 💜💜💜
Not me watching this AS TAYLOR POSTS THE TRACKLIST!!!! Hayley Williams and FOB!!!!!
I did the same lool. Ally is on point!!
Adding Avril would complete me OMG!! This album would skyrocket to my rankings forever
yes! please deep dive on the background of speak now!
I’m in a conflicting state because midnights and speak now are my 2nd and 3rd fave albums: I’m so sad midnight era is ending but I’m excited to be reliving my other fave
literally you put it so well. this album meant SO much to me when i was a kid and the excitement i have this rerelease is unparalleled. just watching the announcement again makes me cry because i truly cannot describe how integral this album was to me. this album was the album i stopped caring if it was “uncool” to like her and i fell head over heels. i still have my OG copy of the CD (although the CD inserts and lyric book are missing) and i cannot wait to buy TV 🥰
Imagine a Dear John 10 minute version
i'm so so so excited for speak now tv!!! i have one swiftie friend who lives in a different state than me, so we have a plan to listen to the album when it comes out over facetime! my biggest wish is for more of the vault songs to have the almost rock energy of haunted/the story of us, i just love the way the guitar sounds and i bet it would be a great way for taylor to really flex her matured vocals. also not you literally predicting both featured artists lmaoo
i was a night 2 nashville swiftie and i rly feel like the nashville concerts won. but n2 got ootw and fifteen surprise songs :’)💗
yeah you guys got INCREDIBLE songs!!!
same!!!
Same! I just wrote a super long post here about ALL of the greatness from night 2!
@@RockAndGrohlMe it was such a magical, special night. i miss it so much 😭💔
The 2 things I wouldn't want changed are 1. The little giggle she does in the middle of speak now 2. The OH OHH OHHH at the start of Mine every time I hear it I know it's about to be a good time. (Btw Thank you, I never hear ANYONE talking About mine and it is literally a masterpiece and my favourite song ever. You're like the big sister I never had)
