The Guardian's deputy music editor Laura Snapes makes her Pop Pantheon debut for the conclusion of season one of our epic Taylor Swift super-series. Louie and Laura revisit the marquee music event of autumn 2010, the release of Taylor’s third album, Speak Now. They discuss the album's six platinum hits, how it revitalized the record industry in a moment of peril and the way Taylor used Speak Now to respond to public narratives about her.
Join us next week for a bonus B-Side Mailbag episode covering YOUR questions about Taylor’s early years and initial run of country albums.
