Review:

The artwork is artistic, but kinda funny actually. It actually looks like Taylor is having some kind of wardrobe malfunction. Well she had it, the real wardrobe malfunction when she did her Speak Now world tour. You don't want to know next. The bright side is, she looks like the legendary Marilyn Monroe holding her dress. 

This album, for me, has a strong lyrics in every songs, and as always, it's amazing how Taylor can transform her feelings into songs that can bring us to her position. No explicit content at all, so parents you can let your children listen to this album without any concern. I recommend "Mine", "Back to December", "Speak Now", and "Mean". Those are great songs with great tunes as well. In "Speak Now", I find a different kind of meaning here. Taylor tries to stop her boyfriend from getting married to a woman that's not suppose to be with him, because she's so bad according to Taylor Swift point of view. I've never heard such song before, it's a catchy country song but has a break up meanings. It's hard to find a country song like that. And then, "Mean", oh I just love this song so much. Taylor teaches us not to give up just because we're poor or being bullied - I should've listened to this song when I was being bullied in 7th grade - because we are born this way, we are beautiful in our own way. He made us like this for a reason, and that's gotta be good. This song teaches us how to be strong and always have hope no matter what. We don't need to kick those haters' butt, but we must show them that we can do just like they do, or maybe more than they do, we must have targets to show them that we don't deserve to be bullied.

Taylor has always been very honest to public. She says sorry through "Back to December", she states her apologize to Taylor Lauther for being so dumb not realising his love to her. But she also sings "Dear John", who is John Meyer she is referring to, who broke her heart when she was 19. That's a good thing about Taylor, she speaks everything honestly but in a soft way. You can imagine if Nicki Minaj breaks up and writes a song, she'll say f**k you or f**k the h**l outta you or "just go with that b**ch" a hundred times during a song. But Taylor, she did not do that, she can sing beautifully yet so heart stabbing. I recommend this album, but I'm not saying this is my favorite album, I just love some songs not all. Happy downloading and listening!
