Now that Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is under two months away, we are finally getting back to our Speak Now Stories series, in which we explore the possible moments that may have inspired Taylor Swift’s most diaristic and detailed album. In this first part we look into what seems to be the first thematic batch of songs made for the album which include explanations and analysis of Haunted, Better Than Revenge, If This Was A Movie and Last Kiss. Through them an evolution in songwriting can be seen and many interesting details can be picked apart, including a reference to a Jonas Brothers song! Finally, we also discuss Never Grow Up, a touching song which marks another big theme that Taylor has spoken a lot about in connection to Speak Now retrospectively, the loss of innocence and naive sense of youth all too soon.
