"Speak Now" was solely written by Swift as were all the tracks for the album.The song was inspired by one of Swift's dear friends and her story with her high school sweetheart. The couple had parted their separate ways after high school — with the idea that they would get back together. Swift acknowledged that she even thought it was inevitable for them to reunite. One day, Swift's friend comes to inform Swift that her high school sweetheart would presently wed. Her friend's ex-boyfriend had met a new female, who Swift believed to be of a negative persona. She said, "He had met this girl who's just this horrible, mean person who made him completely stop talking to all of his friends, cut off his family. She had him so completely isolated."While engaging in conversation with her friend, Swift asked her friend if she attempted to "speak now." Perplexed, her friend asked for an explanation, to which answered, "You know, storm the church. 'Speak now or forever hold your peace.' I'll go with you. I'll play guitar. It'd be great."Swift's friend found the idea to be humorous, laughing at the idea.
After speaking with her friend, Swift became deeply fixated on the idea of how tragic it would be for the person one loved to wed someone else. That night, Swift experienced a dream where one of her own ex-boyfriends married another girl. To her, this signaled that she had to compose a song about interrupting a wedding. In retrospection, she concluded, "For me, I like to think of it as good versus evil. And this girl is just completely — just the evil one."Swift entitled the album after "Speak Now" because it fit the album's concept, each song being a different confession to a person, well."It's called Speak Now, and that pertains to the album as a concept and as an entire theme of the record more than I can even tell you", she said.A 30-second clip of the song was previewed on Comcast's Xfinitytv.com on October 4, 2010."Speak Now" was released as a

Swift hung out with partygoers during her meet-and-greet and seemed genuinely excited by the chance to catch up with fans on the day of her release. She hugged and took pictures with every one of them. Wearing a yellow satin dress with maroon patent heels, she not only met with her fans, but also took questions from them during the nearly hour-long live stream on MTV.com, VH1.com and CMT.com.
Fans asked about everything: What inspired the album? "For me, Speak Now was inspired by the last two years of my life ... that's why I write songs," she said before joking about whether there was anything she wouldn't write about. "Well, I thought so before this album," she laughed. "There's a little more speculation now than when I was 12."
Swift sang three tracks from the new album, displaying sass and confidence during the performance of the album's title track as fans sang along to every word. She then curtsied as her fans cheered her.
"This album took two years to write, two years to make ... and these are songs about stories and lessons and things that I've learned — the right way, the wrong and, in the case of this song, it's about learning a lesson a little too late," she said before kicking into one of the most buzzed-about tracks on the album, "Back to December," which is reportedly an apology to Taylor Lautner.
Saying she went through "obsessive editing" while making the album, she shared, "I ended up writing this song — actually every song — alone, and that happened by circumstance. ... I've never written an entire album on my own before, so songwriting is my favorite thing. It's all what makes life make more sense to me."
Playing a bedazzled acoustic guitar, Swift then went into "Mine," the first single from Speak Now. Swift took in fans' cheers as she wrapped up the song.
Before the night was over, Swift announced the final winner, Savannah, who would be joining her as she flew to L.A. from NYC on Wednesday evening. "I've had such an amazing experience," Swift said to close out the night.
