Summary

Zack and Madeline deep dive into the second half of 2011 - which upon reflection, is a year of immense growth, evolution, and development. The Speak Now Tour continues and the arm lyrics and interviews that she gives on tour reveal a surprising amount of information if you know where to connect the dots. The earliest and purest form of the Easter Eggs reveal themselves as arm lyrics. Connecting the dots she draws leads us to the conclusion that perhaps her and Joe Jonas tried it again, or at least reconciled in this year. Taylor Lautner makes several unnecessary appearances and Miss Swift's bizarre obsession with the Kennedy's begins. We take a look at a few in depth profiles that are more revealing than they appear, and discuss Taylor's complicity in a goody-two-shoes imagery. T-Party is discussed publicly as a concept, and we analyze how that has changed - for worse - in recent years. Two final and superior singles with lacklustre videos wrap up the Speak Now era - Sparks Fly and Ours. Wonderstruck is dropped and we have to stan. Taylor gets her most iconic cat Meredith, and shockingly - in an earth shattering moment, cuts her hair and drops Safe and Sound in the same month. She turns 22 and never aged again.

0:39.1	reeling from what's been going on. I thought that this year, 2011 part two, was actually
0:45.5	really important. So I was looking through it last night, the notes that we have. And I was like,
0:50.6	well, it seems like not a lot is happening, but it was actually like a very
0:54.6	personal year of evolution, shedding of his skin.
0:58.5	Reading the diary entry that she wrote,
1:01.1	one of them that she wrote kind of pre-read,
1:03.5	I feel like every single song that I write for this album
1:07.1	is like the best yet and blah, blah, blah.
1:09.9	Well, she was right.
1:12.4	Yeah, so it's like this, to me, whenever I think about it,
1:16.4	so like when I've been trying to do the rankings of the albums,
1:19.8	including Lover, I can only do it from Red forward
1:23.1	because including Fearless and Speak Now,
