Although there’s definitely a lot of debate, many Swifties consider Speak Now to be one of Taylor Swift’s best albums. So to say the release of Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) is highly anticipated would be an understatement.

The album gave us so many iconic songs — “Mine”, “Sparks Fly”, “Back to December”, “Mean”, and so, so many more.

Taylor’s Speak Now era also gave us a whole new aesthetic. Taylor loosened up her signature curls and traded in (most of) her princess costumes for knee-length halter dresses. While she didn’t completely ditch her country vibes — her fringe sequin mini dress and knee-high black boots still made an appearance! — it’s clear that Taylor’s style was starting to evolve.

In honor of the original Speak Now era, below are Taylor Swift’s most iconic outfits.
