This week we take a look at one of Taylor's officially released songs with the most history, and perhaps even the most versions, behind it. Sparks Fly was originally written way back in October 2006, after a Halloween performance at Duke's Bar and Grill that served as its inspiration. It then gained traction as an unreleased song when a video of Taylor performing it circled around in 2007. However, it was not until 2010 that Sparks Fly as we know it was finally released on Speak Now, after fans' comments reached Taylor who decided to re-work the song for its official release. In this episode we discuss the origin story and development of the song, take a look at all of the changed lyrics (including what we consider to be its original version!), and its legacy as we look towards the eventual fate of the song on Speak Now (Taylor's Version).
