Btw if there is some obscure Speak Now lore that OG stans know about, be kind enough to share it with the newbie on this blessed day

IDK what is considered obscure. Do you know about Joe Jonas attending one of the tour dates, which inspired her to write Holy Ground? Last Kiss has a 27 second intro because of that phone call, and Last Kiss and Haunted both cut off the last word despite her saying earlier on that "she always gets the last word.” The secret message of Dear John is a lyric from Superman. Mine is supposedly about some normie guy she dated in Nashville. There are conspiracies that John Mayer is a red herring and most of the songs are actually about ITWAM cowriter Martin Johnson. Multiple music critics have egotistically claimed to be the inspiration behind Mean.

I liked it too, but near the ttpd photo it looks like a Lover/folklore comparison

Now let's put some respect on the last song before we got TTPD! There might be a lot of inspiration drawn from that song :nicole:

Oh there's the story about her letting the kids from the Mine video run a rampage through Toys R Us on her credit card after the video shoot. I never knew how true that was but it was all over those Tumblr text over picture things in 2013 so I'll take it at its word

She's definitely exploring the "pathological people pleaser" subject on I Can Fix Him. 

And shes also exploring the "I wouldn't marry me either" on My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys. :lakitu:

The entire bolded part is new to me. It feels like each statement dives into the conspiracy lane more than the previous one but I'm living for it. Thanks.

nnnnn it's the way when I lived in the Netherlands that I just... wouldn't sleep before a release :gaycat7:

 

The best part about being back in the US is that I can stay up all day in anticipation and then I get the album at 11pm and can stay up all night listening and discussing with the girls

That'd be fine. I'm always in the market for a new bottom 2 Taylor Swift album.

Well that is not obscure lore (or maybe I already know the most obscure lore about SN who knows?).

 

And we thank Scott Borchetta for that. One of his only good actions. Let me put a flower on his spiritual grave as a thank you.

Ok um

 

Enchanted was written about that Fireflies singer whom she met at his concert in New York on September 15, 2009, just two days after the VMAs

Surely you know she picked the guy in the Mine video because of Scott's anti-tattoo vendetta and because they don't look entirely dissimilar from John's tattoos

Some of them are probably conspiracies, but "I loved you from the very first day" is in fact that secret message hidden in the lyrics to Dear John.

It gets worse, they think All Too Well is about Martin Johnson :suburban:

Spoiler

and for some reason the people who think this are usually g*ylors who think it's some kind of own

Spoiler

which I really don't get, isn't Martin a dude? shouldn't they be focusing on Emily Poe or whoever :coffee2:

When that guy covered Enchanted and changed the lyrics to "Taylor I was Enchanted to meet you too" trying to get some fame making it seem the song was about him and she never acknowledged that person's existence. A moment.

The way that she was dating Taylor Lautner at the time. No wonder she felt she owed him an apology.
