On This Day: Taylor Swift Released Speak Now

On October 25, 2010, American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift released the album Speak Now. It was her third studio album; she wrote all 14 songs on the standard edition herself.

Swift conceived the album as a collection of confessions she wanted to tell certain people but never got the chance to. She wrote the songs while touring in 2009–2010, reflecting on the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

The album’s music combines country pop with elements of country rock, pop rock, and power pop. Its lyrics explore relationships, growing up, and public attention.
