Taylor Swift - Speak Now (Oct 2010) - hype, anticipation &c

i love how the swooping dress connects back to the swooping hair of the 'fearless' cover

swoop there it is

ok, so are we buying the glitter package, the sparkle package or the diamond package?

wilco never offered me a glitter package ;_;

seriously considering watching her cmt special tonight. if the kids will tolerate it...

i dont even know if i get cmt but that sounds dope

Holy moly thanks for the CMT update, that sounds awesome.

Oh wait, it's just a video premiere. Meh...

From EW interview:

The title track, indeed, is about “the moment in a wedding where you speak now or forever hold your peace.

+

The last two years of your life have been so nuts. Is there a song that reflects the business and change of your last two years?
There is, actually. The last song on the album is about looking back on the last two years and how I feel when I do that.

Expectations for that one^

The reporter actually goes into 'critical' mode as well and asks whether Mine is just a Fearless rehash: http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/08/27/taylor-swift-speak-now-new-album/

Oh wait, it's just a video premiere. Meh...

it's a half-hour live video premiere. when your friday night prospects are yo gabba gabba or half of monsters inc. for the 6th time this week, that's exciting enough.

Watched this video on my local mtv site, and it's a de-countrified version! Ridiculous, considering how mild the country touches are on the original.

Video's pretty good, I think:

Can someone make a looping .jpg of the ridiculously cute Taylor head-bob thing from 1:52-1:53 btw??

i wonder if the other artists in the country music world are viewing this CMT special like lebron's "the decision"

video taken down

Video's on the front page of her website. Doesn't seem attached to any "de-countrified" mix either.

Oh shit I totally didn't know they shot videos for "Fearless" and "White Horse." Rest of night: planned.

fyi both of those songs are only like 4 mins long

ah cool, i'll have to check out her site

fyi both of those songs are only like 4 mins long

haaaa!

fyi both of those songs are only like 4 mins long

planning to pass out drunk afterward, always be livin' the fearless life.

Actually I think I could seriously watch the "White Horse" video for hours because I am killed by the moments when Taylor stops lip-syncing. The song alone already sailed me into nervous-breakdown-territory.

that is not disturbing at all

this chorus is a rush

"mine" btw don't want to freak anyone out like there is a new song or something

yeah, and it's even more of a rush every time she switches it up

this bridge is a rush

lol

Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson handed out his opinion on country starlet Taylor Swift recently, branding the blond "horrible."

"I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible," Robinson told Nylon Guys, according to Contact Music.

It seems that Kate Hudson's ex-husband takes issue with the production style employed by Swift and her popular counterparts.

"They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord ...
... into the computer and it all comes out the same ... when you have computers doing it all for you ... there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality (sic)," he argues.

Does Robinson make a point, or is he simply staking Swift? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.

salient points from an important person

emotionality

loooooool

"mine" is totally unremarkable apart from the bridge

also the music video is so lollllllll bad

"Mine" is what I'd like to start calling Vintage Taylor.

And it's fantastic.

He is such a loser on every level you can lose in life.

"Mine" is dope -- looking forward to the record

as of now, I don't think it's as good as "You Belong With Me," "Change," and probably some other songs on her previous record, though

<3 this phot of her

i would just like to note that laura marling is younger than taylor swift.

laura marling writes better lyrics and better songs. <3 <3 <3

this kinda thing always goes really well

my main point is that taylor swift's lyrics are good for a 14-yo, but now that she's 21 she should consider reading a book
