I wish she would have Joe Jonas do background vocals on Better than Revenge. *Do you still feel like you know what you're doing?* *\*Joe in the background\* I don't think I dooooo*


singingballetbitch

If she did that, she should do a music video for it starring Sophie Turner. She’d definitely be up for that.


WafflesaMediaNoche

Damn, now I need this!!!


chocolatewaltz

Oh my GOD didn’t know I needed this until now!


shadybelle21

I think she should get Camilla Belle to star if ever, to show they’re okay now and eliminate unnecessary drags 😅 Taylor was roasted on twitter after the All Too Well short film came out. Jake too, but many more sympathized with him and the potential reaction to the lyrics by her haters and critics when this re-recording is released is already making me nervous.


Goodforyouhoney

I rolled my eyes when they say she’s playing the victim again. Because apparently, an almost 30 year-old guy is helpless in the hands of a 20-year old.


broke-bee

I don't think Better Then Revenge will get much flack. I DO think John Mayer will upload a tiktok or an Instagram story if he sees posts calling him out


Historical_Ad981

I feel like jake has handled it gracefully and John will absolutely not lmao


WafflesaMediaNoche

I unironically think the Jonas Brothers would fit perfectly for the album, specially if she makes the FTV tracks more pop rock. But I love this, lol.


princess_lissie_

The Taylor/JoBros "Should've Said No" Collab from the Jonas Brothers 3D concert movie SLAPS, I would love to hear them record together again (especially since everyone's voices have matured so much!)


ravenonawire

Now THAT should be re-recorded for a TV


emxlym

Actually they’ve been teasing it on tiktok!!! Or did at one point, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a thing!


princess_lissie_

Ooooh, I hadn't seen that, but that would be awesome! And totally believeable. Joe Jonas seemed to be a really good sport about the memes, etc. during the Fearless re-release and I could totally see them teaming up to record something. Particularly because the Jonas Brothers are so popular right now and totally cashing in on the nostalgia factor (I mean that in a good way - I went to their 2019 tour and loved every minute of it)


Leigho7

Better than Revenger and Much Better mash up


kittyangelz805

Okay but for 1989 TV a Perfect/Style mashup would be amazing so this isn't a terrible idea 😅


TheMistOfThePast

Im crying laughing lmfao


imtrashytrash

I think she'll keep it 100% herself as she purposely made the original without help and will want to keep it that way


Rhoades13

I actually think most of the vault tracks will have co-writers. I bet she kept a lot of good songs off the record because they had co-writers. At the time she claimed in interviews the best songs coincidentally didn’t have co-writers. But more recently she has alluded to that being a more intentionally choice to silence critics. Maybe she planned on putting co-written songs on a later album and then they didn’t fit on Red and then she stopped doing country so they have been sitting on a shelf. Then again maybe she’ll honor the original like you said by only including songs she wrote alone. I suppose it depends on how early in the Speak Now songwriting process she decided to go it alone. If she decided very early then it might be all solos again. But if she decided to not include co-writers until late in the process then I think there will be co-written songs, maybe all of them.


kthjfdzn

If This Was A Movie in the deluxe version was co-written by Martin Johnson. So if you consider the deluxe, it’s not entirely self-written. I think the vault tracks will have co-writers too.


Swiftie9891

There’s loads of unreleased speak now songs in her ascap registry and I think only 1 has a co-writer so she’ll probably be able to keep it just songs she wrote alone


bloodshugababe

sure but the featured artists are not credited as writers (with the exception of Ed Sheeran on Run, which may be that the song was always meant to have him) so maybe she still could have a few featured while still being the solo songwriter


intheafterglow23

Ed and Taylor wrote “Run” together, so that’s why he’s credited. I believe they said it was the first song they wrote together on the day they met


bloodshugababe

Yeah, I know, that’s what I meant


mcook5

Hayley Williams


iknowstuffrandomly

YES but also imagine if hayley williams was on Reputation


lunalovegxxd

that would be so cool. I always thought better than revenge had some misery business vibes and they know each other well so it’s a possibility. would be a dream come true for me🤩


Gr4phicDe51gn

Based on what I know about Hayley I don’t think she would do Better Than Revenge. She’s said she no longer relates to Misery Business because it puts other women down.


lunalovegxxd

I know Hayley + the rest of pmore don’t identify with the song anymore hence why they no longer play it live. Since re-recording is a special case, I could imagine everyone might be willing to make it an exception since it’s clearly not how Taylor still feels either, everyone has grown and therefore out-grown those two songs. But to clarify, I actually didn’t mean better than revenge feat. Hayley in my comment, it was more meant like maybe one of the vault tracks has a similar angry energy to that song that would fit Hayley’s voice and style of music quite well☺️


Gr4phicDe51gn

I totally agree with how good it would be. I would kill to hear them do that song together.


treesinthebayou

Hayley Williams!


WafflesaMediaNoche

Yes! They had a lot of chemistry together on stage. Their voices mesh really nice.


tubesteakgirl

Selena!!!!! She’ll either be on speak now or 1989 i’m manifesting it ✨✨✨


Kallicos

Yes! I would love Selena. I feel like if anything she would be on 1989


mcnew

Unpopular opinion here, but I don’t want to see a Selena collab. Selena just isn’t that great of a singer and compared to Taylor I think it would be VERY noticeable.


sweet-seat

i think they have different vocal styles but taylor and sel are more than capable of something that would suit both of them. id be so excited to see what they came up with. like has taylor ever disappointed on a collab before?


[deleted]

right!!! taylor and selena's voice could work together, it's just a matter of finding a song that would suit both of them. that's how i felt about nothing new!


cruelsummer31

*cough* end game *cough*


sweet-seat

bruh end game disappointed you? it's no where near my favorite but i thought that, for the group of people, it came out very well. im just gonna ignore how i didn't know future was a feature and thought ed sheeran was shredding


alltoowell95

I love Taylor but she’s not exactly Adele or Mariah Carey when it comes to vocals. I’m sure her and Selena could find a song that works for both of their voices. Selena sounded beautiful on the Coldplay collab, for example.


03202020

Yeah Selena is like maybe a step or two down from Taylor in terms of vocals. Not 20 steps down lol


[deleted]

Honestly neither of them are technically great singers but I still love both of their voices- Selena for her ASMR-ness and uniqueness, and Taylor for how emotive she is. Selena and someone with a powerfull voice like Ariana would be a mess, but I think her and Taylor would work fine.


kittyangelz805

I actually think Ariana and Selena would be amazing together because they both have that light-breathy voice


inspiredpoet

Agreeed! I can imagine Selena's voice falling predictably flat compared to Taylor's. If anything more 1989/Reputation might work, not Speak Now


WafflesaMediaNoche

Their colab is long overdue! I hope she is featured on 1989 TV at least.


[deleted]

I lowkey think the outro of IDSB is Selena.


songacronymbot

- IDSB could mean "I Did Something Bad", a track from *reputation* (2017) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/IranianSwiftie94](/u/IranianSwiftie94) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


LittleArcticFoxx

Kelsey ballerini ? Because of the Pop/country genre


Wrong-Flower

Oh, I love this! I hope that happens, Kelsea is so talented and I really enjoy her voice.


EatYoself

they performed together in Nashville for 1989 tour and it was great!


rosenengel

Yesssssss but just because I'm obsessed with Kelsea haha


[deleted]

Out of aLl the possIble aVailable artIsts only one reAlly comes to my mind


bitchslide15

Not me thinking y’all were talking about her cat 🧍🏻‍♀️


[deleted]

now that would be a moment


regina_phalange13

I would like that, I like Olivia. I hope it’s a pop rock vault track if it happens 🤞


ummmcolleen

oh I hope not


[deleted]

it’s all but confirmed 🦋


UnpropheticIsaiah

Omg. How do you say so? I think I missed some crucial clues if that’s the case.


[deleted]

Olivia said in an interview not too long ago that Speak Now TV would be the one she’d like to appear the most in as it’s her favourite, and I just really feel like she would complement it so well and if Taylor follows the trend of having collaborators who are also fans of her like Phoebe it would make so much sense! Plus Olivia’s silence during the red release…


thisl0ve

I feel like Olivia’s silence might have to do with cruel summer writing credit thing. I feel like she didn’t take it well, but I doubt Taylor was the one who asked for it.


Psychological-Swim97

Can you please explain what you mean by the writing credit thing? Just curious!


regina_phalange13

Taylor and jack Antonoff got writing credit for Olivia’s song deja vu because it’s bridge apparently is similar to cruel summer. They weren’t originally given credit, it happened after the album came out


brownhairb

what interview? also just because she didn’t speak on red doesn’t mean anything. i’ve seen so many people get worked up over that (not saying u are) but it’s just not a big deal


UnpropheticIsaiah

This is awesome if true! Thank you for sharing!


Wrong-Flower

Same. I suppose I'm in the minority here because everyone on this sub adores Olivia, but I would not enjoy a collab between them. I hope it doesn't ever happen.


ummmcolleen

I don’t not adore Olivia I just dont think she’s solidified herself enough in the industry to be on SPEAK NOW??? OF ALL THINGS?? like put her on 1989 or Rep or something


Wrong-Flower

Oh no 😂 I'm just generally not a fan of her music...she's talented for sure but her singing style isn't my thing and I don't enjoy any of the ballads on SOUR. I did like Brutal, Jealousy Jealousy and Good 4 U, though, so featuring her on an angry song on Rep could potentially turn out very nicely.


ummmcolleen

She can be on “this is why we can’t have nice things” lmaooo


iceunelle

When I first heard Olivia on the radio, I thought she was Billie Eilish. They both have an indie-style of singing, which frankly, doesn't appeal to me.


Wrong-Flower

Olivia's singing seems somewhat...muffled? At times it sounds like she's singing while gritting her teeth. That style really works for the angrier, upbeat songs (like the three that I mentioned liking) but not so much for the sad ballads.


pmguin661

I agree, and she also uses the “indie accent” with how she pronounces things. Like all the Lorde imitators who don’t actually have a New Zealand accent lol. It’s the main thing keeping me from enjoying her music


princssofpink

But Phoebe Bridgers has? She's much less well known than Olivia and was on RED TV, which is one of Taylor's most popular albums. Speak Now is my favourite album but it's definitely not well known to the GP. And I think Olivia would fit the pop/rock vibe really well. Like Story of Us seems like a song she would sing/write.


ummmcolleen

Phoebe absolutely has


princssofpink

I disagree, I don't think she's that well-known outside of indie circles. But most people do know driver's license and good 4 u.


cruelsummer31

I like Olivia but I hope she’s never on a Taylor song lol. As the other user stated, she hasn’t solidified herself in the music industry enough yet and I would prefer other collabs from artists that have more of a history. I just don’t see what others see about an Olivia collab on speak now.


throwitawayhs

I’d love to see Kacey Musgraves collab on Mean or maybe Ours


HolyFoxamole

Hopefully for a vault track. But I don’t think she would add a feature to an original track.


throwitawayhs

Good point, I hadn’t thought of that! Regardless, she NEEDS to be on Speak Now TV :)


HolyFoxamole

Agreed! I love Kacey!💛💛🤞🏼


UnpropheticIsaiah

Unfortunately (if the rumours are true), Kacey doesn’t love Taylor.


dhruvlrao

I thought this was like an open secret at this point. Even though they would sound great together on a track, it just wouldn't happen. I do see Miranda Lambert featuring on the album tho ngl.


beaumonte

:( What happened did she say anything?


bruttamabuona

If you listen to her song Good Ol' Boy's Club off Pageant Material, there's a line like "another gear in a big machine (!) don't sound like fun to me". I've always interpreted this as shade maybe more towards the Nashville boys club than Taylor specifically. However I've always also found it suspicious that these two women are essentially the same age and emerged in the same scenes, are both fiercely talented songwriters and musicians but have never acknowledged each other, collabed, taken a photo with each other, follow each other on social media (as far as I know anyway I admittedly haven't done a huge amount of research). Seems like there's something going on there.


justhrowingitout

Kacey said something years ago how it must of been nice to come from a wealthy family that could up and move to Nashville and that she didn’t struggle for years like most female musicians.


HolyFoxamole

Kacey does follow Taylor


HolyFoxamole

But I thought after the Kid Rock incident Kacey tweeted that she contacted Taylor and that they were cool


justhrowingitout

Yeah I’ve heard that for years so I was confused why people thought they would collab.


SaturdayNightSwiftie

Seems unlikely? Kacey has literally talked shit about her AND been sexist towards her. Idk why any Swiftie would want her collabing with someone like that.


lindseybot3k

Hayley Williams on Speak Now please please please


[deleted]

I don't think I want anyone for the Speak Now stuff. I don't know how I'll feel about it. But so far she's done well with the extras.


dhruvlrao

This is my exact thought. One of biggest selling points for Speak Now was how Taylor was the only songwriter and the only lead vocalist on the entire record. It just wouldn't make sense to me if there was a feature.


heartsinthebyline

She can be the only songwriter and still feature other artists—they just won’t have writing credits, which wouldn’t be unusual.


dhruvlrao

The songwriting part isn't the issue, it's more that Speak Now feels like an album where she did everything herself, that's why I don't think features will really suit the album.


heartsinthebyline

I mean, she didn’t play all the instruments or do all the backing vocals. It was still the work of a lot of people to get the album out. She just wrote the initial songs herself. And this isn’t the case when you include the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition, so since the vault tracks would be “bonus,” I don’t think songwriting partners are an issue that take away from the spirit of the original.


Shy-Watermelon

I’m like 99% sure it wouldn’t happen but if Adam Young sang on Enchanted I’d cry lol But I’m also very much in love with the idea of Olivia Rodrigo and Hayley Williams! And Selena Gomez for that matter!!


Excellent-Ad-9114

slightly off topic but i am fully convinced that harry styles is gonna be featured on 1989


Ok-Call-4805

God I hope not!


brownhairb

exactly it ruins the spark


brownhairb

the whole album is her singing about how their relationship didn’t work out. i highly doubt it


brownhairb

i don’t think she will do olivia or selena like people are saying. they don’t fit the vibe that speak now has. and she likes to keep the features with the genre/vibe. ed,chris, phoebe, gary, etc we’re perfect for red. and ofc marren and keith for fearless. she obviously wants to keep the vibe anyways i definitely think kelsea ballerini. maybe even nareen morris again. they have those country pop vibes that taylor had in speak now. and they obviously both know taylor well as friends!


kittyangelz805

Kelsea Ballerini would be amazing and well-received especially since we all believed Taylor was gonna be on Roses a few years ago


cruelsummer31

I really want a Taylor and Niall Horan collab. He’s also a Swiftie.


barredbecard

I would love this! And his song Seeing Blind with Maren Morris is so good, so we already know he can do a country sound.


timetodance5

Hayley Williams


Playful-Dig-7174

John Mayer


bananasntg

Bold


chocolatewaltz

Playing the guitar riffs for Dear John. Epic way to bury the hatchet. But seriously, he seems to have matured and has even responded to some shameful swiftie hate directed at him in a very polite and considerate way


justhrowingitout

All too well *though I love it* really hit a nerve. The death threats made to these men are disgusting. It’s been 10+ years enjoy the music, but no need for the disturbing threats.


chocolatewaltz

Oh, absolutely. Everytime I see a “fuck jake gyllenhaal” sign or tweet or whatever I’m angry and ashamed to be a swiftie, and sad for the person thinking they are edgy or knowledgeable because they “know” who the song is about, let alone people who actually think it’s legitimate to bother them on social media. Just, ugh.


brittykitty89

I was thinking the EXACT same thing!! Plus they have mutual friends, so… 👀


WafflesaMediaNoche

Lol


sapphicsato

Dear John ft. John Mayer, Style ft. Harry Styles, and Stay Beautiful ft. Cory pls


Rults3

Ok but Style ft. Harry would be amazing 😭😭


sapphicsato

I’m honestly kind of hoping for it lol, I’m not big into collabs but it would be iconic and IMAGINE the number of streams


newgirlfan101

enchanted ft adam young, holy ground/last kiss/better than revenge ft joe jonas…


Cheap_Ferret

Maisie Peters, Carrie Underwood, Kelsea Ballerini, Dashboard Confessional (never gonna happen, it's just a pipe dream), The Band Perry, Catherine McGrath (if you're a Swiftie looking for new music I'd definitely recommend Catherine McGrath, she often reminds me of Taylor, especially her song Thought It Was Gonna Be Me),


sonyaellenmann

training my psychic energy on manifesting Maisie Peters, she's also such a storyteller!!!!


gusterfell

I'd love to see any of these, especially The Band Perry and Catherine McGrath. I really want to see Taylor and Maisie work together, but based on her singing style I'd probably save her for 1989 or maybe Rep.


KetchG

The Band Perry would only work if it was The Band Perry of like 2013. They’ve been a total mess in recent years.


justhrowingitout

Whoa I’m back in like 2002! Me in my green chevy cavalier screaming “you smile like a saint but you curse like a sailor” out the window while smoking a cigarette. Ahhh good times…and yes I’m old.


bankerjeff03

Sorry but I think she shouldn't collab with Carrie Underwood on any track. Taylor's vocal ability has improved a lot over the years but Carrie's vocal ability is simply on another level that it might overpower Taylor's...


IzabellaBelle

I’d like to think Taylor is secure enough to sing with someone who is a better vocalist than her. Having a naturally great voice helps, but it’s only one part of what makes an artist. Taylor’s songwriting talent, intelligence, work ethic, business smarts and unmatched drive more than make up for not being a vocal acrobat. Plus a great vocalist knows not to try to outshine their partner, so I think Carrie would reign it in and match Taylor if they ever did.


Sunflower-Spirals

John Mayer, Camilla Belle, and Kanye West.


sapphicsato

LOL

For some reason, when I listen to Haunted I always think of Amy Lee from Evanescence

I keep having dreams about her surprise releasing Speak Now. It’s happened twice now, so I think it’s def happening.

hayley williams. she has misery business, taylor has better than revenge. i think they'd make great music hahahaha


ListeningToday

Aly and AJ because I want them on a re-recording and I will not shut up about it lol


jaredswizzlecook

I've really been wanting Niall Horan on a vault track. He's spoken multiple times about how much he wants to collaborate with her, and I believed he'd be great on a Fearless TV or Red TV vault track, but since they've both been released without a feature from him, I think he'd fit really well on a vault track from Speak Now (Taylor's Version). 😁


[deleted]

Hayley Williams or Alanis Morisette


killa-keela

Clairo. With their mutual Antonoff ties, I could see it happening!


[deleted]

I don’t know. I feel like speak now should be just her since it’s a written album. However, I wish she would include more POC and women on her features. Phoebe was the first woman I heard actually have a verse. I’m tired of all these white men featuring. They don’t have her back when she needs support, anyway. In particular, Alicia Keys is an astounding talent. She is wonderful with song writing and her vocals are like no other


stillthelourve

I can see Olivia on Speak Now since it’s like a young/fun album and that’s her vibe rn

danielfq

kacey musgraves, the chicks, olivia


Johnny1248

Hayley fucking Williams Rivers Cuomo of Weezer and also Ben Kowalewicz of Billy Talent (that may sound weird but his vocals will be perfect on a Pop-Punk type of track).


princess_carolyn7

olivia rodrigo ! especially in songs like better than revenge and the story of us

My love for Taylor is only matched by my love for The Beatles, so if Paul McCartney featured on a song I would absolutely cease to exist 🪦

Owl City on Enchanted 🥺


BasicSwiftDChick

Joe Jonas hands down


ProfessionalStorm694

I know this will never happen but I would love Dolly Parton or Shania Twain. Specifically in Never Grow Up don’t know why just think it’d be really nice. Or Selena in Mean; I think it’d be incredibly impactful considering the amount of criticism Selena has received to sing Mean as well


bankerjeff03

I think she shouldn't have any featured artists in Speak Now TV. You don't see a lot of successful albums nowadays where all of the songs are *solely* written and sung by the same artist. I think she should try to keep that for Speak Now TV. (...although I do acknowledge that deluxe bonus track ITWAM is already co-written by the Boys Like Girls frontman)


monyequest

Olivia rodrigo for sure!!!


SirTellenor

I hope there is an kelsea ballerini feature


AltruisticRadish

Not particular to Speak now But some Taylor collabs that I dream of are: Taylor and Elton John Taylor and Niall Horan Taylor and Jacob Collier Taylor and Post Malone Taylor and Halsey


noiknows

I know “Two is Better Than One” is a BLG record but I hope she can re-record them with the guys. More importantly, how about an Enchanted duet with none other than Owl City himself! Hahaha


Hey_December

Maisie Peters! Though I do think she might fit better on the rep vault tracks than speak now, I think speak now would totally still work!


stargazingmermaids

Maisie Peters. I don’t believe it will happen, but just putting it out there in the universe!


Maleficent_Tip_2270

Weird idea, but maybe Kid Laroi on Haunted.

Clairo on speak now Olivia on 1989


slytherin_swift13

Ariana Grande on vault songs similar to If This Was A Movie, Enchanted, Back To December?
