speak now

this is still sorta the swift era i was only familiar with a few of her songs but i think i was definitely more familiar with this album than fearless. relistening to it now as a grown(ish) woman it gives me such a sense of nostalgia for the mix of both incredibly complex feelings you can't process, and simple ideas that come with being a teenager. lyrically and musically it's where i think she really begins to take off and shine more consistently, and is the launch pad to everything else
