Speak Now...

"Don’t say yes, run away now
I’ll meet you when you’re out of the church at the backdoor
Don’t wait or say a single vow
You need to hear me out and they said speak now"
(Lyrics to Speak Now by Taylor Swift)

        Speak Now.(verb) -taken out of the context from the phrase "speak now or forever hold your peace" Two powerful words that Taylor Swift has decided to use to entitle her most recent album. The fourteen track album has hit a special milestone recently, Speak Now has sold 1 million albums...in one week.

     In this article by Tanner Stransky, he gives the examples of artists that compare to Swift's success such as Garth Brooks and Shania Twain. However, there are few artists that achieve this success.

      Whether its the fact that her songs reference her famous celebrity exes (i.e. Taylor Launter, Joe Jonas, & John Mayer) or the fact that whatever mood you're in, their is Taylor Swift song for that. I, like the other 999,999 people, went out last week to buy her album and after listening, analyzing, enjoying and then listening some more, I was very pleased. You know what they say, great minds think alike. Here is a recent performance of Swift on David Letterman, so tell me what you think and speak now...
