Hearts & Numbers - Taylor Swift - Speak Now (Taylor's Version)

 Speak Now (Taylor's Version)

by Taylor Swift

This was the album that shot her through the stratosphere, yes? Didn't she play New Year's Rockin' Eve in support of this? 

More importantly, this is the album with the response song that took apart Bob Lefsetz. She's a billionaire and Bob's...got a podcast. 

I was full in on this album and it has some of favorite tracks. It's still country flavored but, let's see what I think years later.

It's a little more maudlin than I recall at the time but still, what a terrific follow-up to the excellent Fearless.
