The dubstep elements politely tucked into the recorded version are amplified and extended; there's an elaborate mid-song breakdown featuring a bass drop. Incredibly, it all works. Who would have guessed that of all the pop stars monkeying around with dubstep, the one who'd figure out how to make it fit would be Taylor Swift? Scratch that, that's exactly what I would have guessed.

Lol. Mean is officially the hit of Speak Now. Mine did moderately before dropping like a rock. Mean had better longevity and had better impact atleast in US.

It already makes me sure that she will win it effortlessly
She will keep winning EOTY until she's not nominated anymore
I really hope she can write song about her country, patriotism, like Party in USA, Made in America, or Firework something like that

Why do you have to put the worst examples there?

Comparisons to Carole King, Natalie Maines, Alanis Morissette, Patty Griffin, Kathleen Hanna.

NEWARK — An arena show, for all the planning that goes into it, is still a tightrope walk — there is nowhere to hide once the lights go up. So when things began to go wrong for Taylor Swift about midway through her Wednesday night concert at the Prudential Center here, the question wasn’t whether she’d sweat, but would it show.
She’d just begun to perform “Everything Has Changed” with Ed Sheeran, the cheeky British singer-songwriter who is also one of her opening acts, when the sound slowly began to melt — Ms. Swift in one direction; Mr. Sheeran in another; the band, all the way at the other end of the arena, in a third. Technology, the kind that lets performers hear one another in loud rooms, was failing them.
For his part, Mr. Sheeran looked despondent, or distracted, or just dopey. Ms. Swift was having none of that. She leaned in to him, whispering encouragement or direction or both, and steadied the performance, keeping it afloat amid the warring scores until the song ended, and Mr. Sheeran ambled off with a shrug.
It was a scale of mishap you don’t often see at a show of this size, choreographed down to the last flurry of confetti. But it was reassuring to learn that Taylor Swift off-script is very much like Taylor Swift on-script: not just the brains of the operation, but the brawn, too, the unflappable force that ensures stuck landings.

Natalie & Kathleen love Her. I need to google some quotes from the other three. Anyway, I came across the pic of Her & Leonard Cohen from 2010. A pic of a legend, and a future legend.

Don't mind..... For those who wants to read the exact paragraphs where Jon Caramanica made the comparisons:
Quote:
Even still, it’s almost certain she won’t grow into a Madonna or Katy Perry. It remains to be seen when she might flower into a Natalie Maines, an Alanis Morissette, a Patty Griffin, a Kathleen Hanna. Ms. Swift isn’t ready to answer that just yet — she still has arenas to soothe, and anxieties of her own to purge. That was clear from a pair of songs near the end of the night, both laser-targeted assassinations of ne’er-do-well boys.
First was “I Knew You Were Trouble,” one of the great pop songs of recent months, and Ms. Swift’s most blatant statement about her increasingly evanescent relationship to country. It’s a ferocious, thumping song, and it’s already done more for introducing dubstep to new ears and mainstreaming it than all the Electric Daisy Carnivals put together.
That was followed, in the night’s sharpest transition, by “All Too Well,” which Ms. Swift sang vividly from behind a piano, channeling her inner Carole King. Her face was splashed across a huge videoscreen, and it showed credible dark emotion. When she recalled about an ex, “You tell me about your past/ Thinking your future was me,” she sneered visibly. It was the moment where the child molted her soft exterior to become an adult. No tears. No sweat.
