    Why this obsession Taylor? Like seriously? The original was mid, but this re-record is Worse than the original version. Taylor has zero creativity and this is just repetitive. Her voice is worse than it used to be. You just set yourself up for failure. Now everyone is gonna judge you. Oh well. She sings worse than years ago and I really don't feel necessary these new versions of her old albums.

    The production is amazing. The instrumentals are so much more clear, and Taylor's voice has matured and added to the album. Best re-record yet.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I didn't like Speak Now back when it was originally released in 2010, but songs like 'Haunted', 'Mine', and 'The Story of Us' were standouts and are some of my favourite country songs from Taylor. When i heard this 2023 re-recording, i felt that all the songs on the re-recording were either robotic or flat. 'Haunted (TV)' was horrid and a unbearable listen, it took everything good about the song (piano in the intro, breathtaking vocals) and replaced it with loud bass guitars and Taylor singing much quieter than in the original. I know she'll sound different now, but these songs no longer have the spark from the original. Expand

    Su regrabación más floja y que aunque sea pésima tendrá éxito porque sus peluqueras no la dejarán fracasar, ya basta de saturar la industria y de la desesperación por números, urge retiro de este costal de heces sin talento alguno.

    Not a happy camper! One of the TaylorSwift’s albums with the worst composition, she deleted a song to take all the credit to show that she has talent even when her composition is for school children, sad! A soul is lost here. This is what happens when greed takes over. Worst album, just leave the original as is.

    Dei um pelo trabalho de fazer um álbum, pq de resto, é muito mais do mesmo e raso. Mesma temática/referencia a ex, até machismo dela própria (que os fãs se orgulham e replicam que querem rivalidade feminina e vão ouvir a primeira versão de uma das faixas). Enfim...

    This is overall a great re-recording by Taylor, with her stronger vocals shining through every song, I liked the productions, despite "Speak Now" is not my favorite album from her. The vault tracks are very good, especially I Can See You

    Well this was a hard one. I never really listened to Taylor her previous albums (before Red). I think it’s really cool that she’s recording all het previous albums! But this album, it felt for me amateurish. Sorry but i think this album is not that good as her later albums. I respect her for the music and writing and as a person!! She’s very populair.

I was very bored listing to this album (sorry not sorry). So that’s why the lower rating. Peace ✌️ Expand

    Why is she so obsessed with destroying her original album.She used to be nice but became worldly, does anyone really think she doesn't have the money to buy her music rights?

    El álbum, como todo regrabado de Taylor, simplemente pierde la escencia de una joven Taylor que pudo componer y cantar, como en este caso, Speak Now tiene las mismas letras, pero la voz de una Taylor más madura, que ya no encaja con la idea de una joven Taylor de hace 10 años, y vaya que el álbum decepcionó.

    Rehashing of her older more solid country tracks… only, without the nuances - in essence this album is like a rerelease but without Taylor’s old charm and instead with a generic pop production that in my opinion ruins her compositions. Even with features like Halsey, it all blends together in a way that makes the music and lyrics so ineffectual.

    Another terrible re-recording that's miles worse than the original. A pity, since Speak Now is one of her best albums save for Folklore.

    This understated makeover casts Speak Now not as the final Taylor country record but as the first pop album from the singer/songwriter, a revision that offers its own gentle revisions.

    Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is a nod to one of life’s central truths: you can’t go back in time, and you can never perfectly replicate your youth, but there are always new paths forward.

    Throughout Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), Swift sometimes mutes the messy adolescent impulses that gave these songs their spark. But elsewhere, she divests from fantasy archetypes—the knight on a white horse, the helpless child—that once limited her. Think of the new Speak Now as a call and response between who she was and who she is.
