You belong with me. 💚💛💜❤️🩵🖤

“you made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter”

“meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain”

“it turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you" 

“horrified looks from everyone in the room, but i’m only looking at you”

“you paint me a blue sky, and go back and turn it to rain”

“you, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your humiliation”

“but you held your pride like you should’ve held me”

“no one’s ever burned you, nothing’s ever left you scarred" 

“walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy, vanished when I saw your face”

“but sophistication isn’t what you wear or who you know”

“time turns flames to embers, you’ll have new Septembers”

“and its coming over you like its all a big mistake”

“you can plan for a change in weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind”

“hold onto spinning around, confetti falls to the ground, may these memories break our fall”

“don’t you worry your pretty little mind, people throw rocks at things that shine”

“i know people change and these things happen, but i remember how it was back then”

I’m VERY excited to show you the back cover of Speak Now (my version) including the vault tracks and collaborations with Hayley Williams from Paramore and Fall Out Boy. Since Speak Now was all about my songwriting, I decided to go to the artists who I feel influenced me most powerfully as a lyricist at that time and ask them to sing on the album. They’re so cool and generous for agreeing to support my version of Speak Now. I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and can’t wait to unveil it all to you on July 7th http://store.taylorswift.com
