Swift's fourth studio album, Red(2012),
experimented beyond country, incorporating pop, rock, and electronic genres.
She completely transitioned to pop with her synth-pop fifth
studio album, 1989(2014);
its successor, Reputation(2017),
expanded on the electropop sound
with urban influences.
Swift released her next studio album, Lover, in
2019, while she was in a dispute over
the ownership of her back catalog after her Big
Machine contract expired. She explored indie folk and alternative rock on her 2020 studio albums, Folklore and Evermore.
These six albums
spawned a string of international top-ten singles, including "We Are Never Ever Getting Back
Together", "I Knew You Were Trouble", "Shake It Off",
"Blank Space",
"Bad Blood", "Look What You Made Me Do", "Me!", "You Need to Calm Down", "Cardigan",
and "Willow". She also
released the acclaimed documentaries Miss Americana and Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions in 2020.(…)
Exuding rock sensibility, the music of Speak Now combines country pop with pop rock and power pop styles,
incorporating bluegrass, pop punk, and soft rock elements.
The lyrics revolve around Swift's recurring romantic themes of love, heartbreak
and forgiveness, but transcends the fairytale-inspired theme of its
predecessor, Fearless (2008), to explore Swift's maturing perspectives in adulthood. Six
songs were released as singles to support Speak Now. Four songs from the album reached the top-10
on the Billboard Hot 100: the
first two singles—"Mine"
and "Back to December",
the promotional single "Speak Now",
and the deluxe bonus track "If This Was a Movie". Three singles peaked within the
top 20: "Mean", "Sparks Fly",
and "Ours". The other
single, "The Story of
Us", was released to US mainstream
pop radio only. Swift promoted the album with
the Speak Now World Tour, which ran from
February 2011 to March 2012.
Ha, time for a little revenge
The story starts when
it was hot and it was summer
And, I had it all I had him right there where I wanted him
She came along, got him alone, and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say sabotage
I never saw it coming, nor would I have suspected it
I underestimated just who I was dealing with
She had to know the pain was beating on me like a drum
She underestimated just who she was stealing from
She's not a saint and
she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
She looks at life
like it's a party and she's on the list
She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it
I think her ever present frown is a little troubling
And, she thinks I'm psycho
'Cause I like to rhyme her name with things, but
Sophistication isn't what you wear, or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go
Oh they didn't teach you that in prep school
So it's up to me
But no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity
(Think about what you did)
She's not a saint and
she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
I'm just another
thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but haven't you heard
I'm just another thing for you to roll your eyes at honey
You might have him, but I'll always get the last word
Whoa
She's not a saint and
she's not what you think
She's an actress, whoa
She's better known for the things that she does
On the mattress, whoa
Soon she's gonna find
Stealing other people's toys on the playground
Won't make you many friends
She should keep in mind,
She should keep in mind
There is nothing I do better than revenge, ha
And do you still feel
like you know what you're doing,
'Cause I don't think you do, oh
Do you still feel like you know what you're doing
I don't think you do, I don't think you do
Let's hear the applause
C'mon show me how much better you are
See you deserve some applause
'Cause you're so much better
She took him faster than you could say sabotage.
