Enchanted

Finny

Haunted and its acoustic version

Long Live, Enchanted and Last Kiss are right there too

This is how the singles should have been:

1. Sparks Fly
2. Enchanted
3. Mean-- country
4. Haunted-- pop
5. Speak Now
6. Long Live

Loghen

"Enchanted", "Last Kiss", "Haunted", "Innocent".

One of those. Can't choose.

Donny

Can't pick, the entire speak now album is flawless.

Back to december and Enchanted.

I loved this album so much last November

I don't really have one favorite; it changes all the time along with my mood. Maybe Enchanted or Last Kiss

or Sparks Fly!

Singles:
1. Sparks Fly
2. Enchanted
3. Mine
4. Mean (mostly to please the country fans)
5. Dear John

The era was big, but not as big as it could've been. They gave up on the singles. The album could have sold at least 5 million in the US had they released the right singles.

Overall, the album was better than Fearless. The music was better, more emotional, more mature, better lyrics, everything was written by Taylor... But the album just lacked that one, big song. A "Love Story" or "You Belong With Me". She deserved to be more successful with this album; it's very good. I know she sold one million first week and got a 4x platinum certification, but this era had the potential to be bigger than Fearless.

Sry for the essay.

Enchanted, Haunted & Never Grow Up

Remember When

Innocent is the only good song on the album

Back To December and Last Kiss hit home though.

There's no completely huge and irresistible track on Speak Now like 'Love Story', 'You Belong With Me' or 'Our Song'. I think they did about as well with the singles choices as they could have.

Best song is probably 'Dear John'.

Fearless > Taylor Swift > Speak Now

Cantaloupe.

Last Kiss.

Too lazy to write any thoughts on the album right now so I'll copy and paste an old post of mine:

Speak Now was clearly her deliberately taking a step away from the small word she'd inhabited in her previous two albums - a by-product of how much success and fame she had been met with since then. It has a broader scope than what she'd done before. It's a more laboured and calculated album, which probably couldn't be helped seeing as how she knew what a huge audience she now had. There's nothing as outright magical as "Fearless" or as charming as "Our Song" (the lack of charm which positively permeated her first two albums is its greatest weakness). There are sequencing issues (Better Than Revenge => Innocent => Haunted => Last Kiss). It is my least favourite of her three albums. Having said that, it's an incredibly good album - it's just that Fearless is, with perhaps the exception of "Change" (her rockier songs have never been my favourites), genuinely perfect. Speak Now is vastly underrated by many, but perhaps overrated by some in my opinion (her first album remains criminally underlooked; "Tim McGraw" is still her greatest moment of lyrical GENIUS).
