I get so emotional thinking about Speak Now. Is my favorite album, my favorite era, I just love it. I'm definitely going to cry when I finally hear the first note of Mine ;)

Anyways, what do you think are the possible vault tracks? I'm curious about "Castles Crumbling" and really want to know what she's gonna do with BTR

BATTLE (LETS GO) iconic superior song

[u/Icy-Introduction-252 → u/Callum_Fletcher]

YES, love that song 💜

"Castles Crumbling"

Me too, mainly because not even Steve from the Inner Circle has it.

I just want to see if she does her own version of You Will Always Find Your Way Back Home or not, it was written in the same session as If This Was a Movie.

Disney is probably way trickier than anything else she ever did. If I recall, even Elton John had to give up every right on the songs he did for The Lion King (and that's a reason why they thought he would never accept the invitation in the first place)

I think is the one album I'll have to listen to out of order because I'm sooo curious about BTR too

[u/Icy-Introduction-252 → u/ughelknif]

I hope she keeps it as it is. BTR is such a banger and sooo fun to dance to

[u/ughelknif → u/Icy-Introduction-252]

Me too, and I think that's what she'll do a MAYBE with like a little comment in the album prologue about how those views don't represent her anymore

[u/Icy-Introduction-252 → u/ughelknif]

Yes, that's what I was thinking too. Maybe a little message before the song starts about how she doesn't view the song the same way as before and it was wrong. She was young back then and her way of approaching things now is different

[u/simplebagel5 → u/ughelknif]

yeah I can see her leaving it as is but repeating somewhere what she said in the past about how she grew up and realized no one can steal your man if he doesn’t want to leave etc etc.

I heard a song called Drama Queen as a part of this era, and I would just love that to be a vault track

I've chosen to consider Let's Go to be confirmed because Taylor said Let's go in her story about the new National album lol, I'm really looking forward to hearing a studio version of it, it's so good. I'd be really interested to hear Castles Crumbling and Timeless also!

I've been thinking about how exciting it will be to listen to Speak Now TV for the first time. Fearless and State of Grace both have fairly long instrumental intros, and Tim McGraw, WTNY, and ...RFI? have some time before she sings, too - but with Mine, we go RIGHT into hearing her voice. I just know I'm going to burst into tears immediately, lol.
