How Taylor Swift Wrote Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) Part 2


Listen Later

With under a month to go and the Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) Vault Tracks having been revealed, we continue our exploration into how Taylor wrote Speak Now by discussing the backstory, inspiration and details surrounding another five songs from the album. This batch includes two songs written about key events that occurred at award shows, the infamous Kanye West VMA incident which spawned Innocent, and the Grammy performance with Stevie Nicks that initiated a domino effect leading to the song Mean. We also go over both of the deluxe songs, Superman and Ours, which are inherently linked to Dear John. Finally, we discuss the only song from Speak Now that made it to the Eras Tour, Enchanted! It has yet another vivid backstory which includes an Owl City cover and a confession of love through music. To round the episode off we talk about the premature reveal of the Vault Track titles and features.

Sorry for the first 15 mins of bad audio quality, once we realised the microphone wasn't plugged in everything goes back to normal!
