Taylor Swift's Latest Album: Speak Now


Taylor Swift is due to release her latest album, Speak Now, on October 25th, and I can't wait to get my hands on it!

The first single, Mine, is a heart-warming story of a couple who reminisce of their youth and romance, and this single has been on the airwaves for quite sometime. Speak Now tells of a story of a girl whose love is going to get married to another girl. Somehow this song made me think back of the movie My Best Friend's Wedding.

Meanwhile, Back to December was apparently rumoured to be written for Taylor Lautner, with whom she was involved with for a short period of time last year. The single Mean was also said to be written with the intent to hit back at her critics who were skeptical of her performance which they said was off-pitch, at the Grammy Awards alongside Stevie Nicks.

Her success with her previous album, Fearless, showed that this young singer-songwriter is capable of penning her thoughts and turning them into hit songs.

And unlike many of her peers, her music style is country pop, which makes her success even more sweeter, since country music does not receive heavy rotations on radio stations compared to other music genres.

I would personally like to see Taylor perform in concert on Malaysian soil! Hopefully she will be doing an Asian tour for her new album!

The author was smitten by Taylor Swift's Teardrops on My Guitar, and has been a huge fan ever since.
