Swift made her announcement right after moving onto the B-stage for the solo-acoustic “surprise songs” segment that comes late in the evening each night on tour. Although Swift inevitably used the moment to premiere a “Speak Now” song that had not previously been played on the tour, “Sparks Fly,” accompanying herself on the guitar, she didn’t devote both surprise slots to the album. The second surprise number Friday was from a different album —“Teardrops on My Guitar,” from her debut, performed perhaps counterintuitively on the piano, not guitar.

The new cover art has modern-day Swift wearing a dress similar to the one she wore on the front of the original album in 2010, but with a more serious expression that marks her as definitely not the 20-year-old who posed for the Big Machine edition’s cover.

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) is the third re-recorded album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, released on July 7, 2023, via Republic Records. It is a re-recording of Swift's third studio album, Speak Now (2010), and follows her 2021 re-recorded albums Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version). The re-recording is a part of Swift's counteraction to her 2019 masters dispute. The album was announced on May 5, 2023, at a Nashville show of her ongoing concert tour, the Eras Tour.

Fans had a pretty strong indication of what was coming, entering Friday’s Nashville show. Wristbands given out to fans turned purple at the end of her previous concert this past Sunday, and electronic banners coming into Nissan Stadium were purple-hued.

Retrieved July 17, 2023.While that song preserves her youthful sense of being hurt, another has received an edit. Pre-release, there was speculation about whether Swift would change the lyrics to the raging Better Than Revenge, in which she sang of a romantic rival: “She’s better known for the things that she does on the mattress.” Swift hasn’t performed it since the original Speak Now tour, and in 2014 told the Guardian: “I was 18 when I wrote that. That’s the age you are when you think someone can actually take your boyfriend. Then you grow up and realise no one can take someone from you if they don’t want to leave.” Sure enough, the new version has different lyrics: “He was a moth to the flame / She was holding the matches.” The song remains a banger, with a massive firework of a “whoa-oh!” in the chorus, but the lyric change feels feeble, as well as inconsistent with the rest of the project. It’s the point where re-recording becomes relitigation. Caulfield, Keith (July 16, 2023). "Taylor Swift's Re-Recorded 'Speak Now' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard 200 With 2023's Biggest Week".
