Mine

Speak Now 𝟝
Swift was inspired by a conversation with a friend whose childhood sweetheart was marrying someone else. The friend told Swift about the situation, and Swift jokingly asked if she was "speak now or forever hold your peace" at the wedding. It is rumored that the friend was Paramore's Hayley Williams, as her ex-boyfriend married someone else around the time the song was written.

Mean
Inspired by a scathing review from music critic Bob Lefsetz after her 2010 Grammy performance with Stevie Nicks. Swift herself has stated that the song was about the critic and was her way of coping with hurtful comments, though she also acknowledged the song's broader applicability to bullying.

Enchanted
When Taylor Swift met Adam Young of Owl City, she was immediately “enchanted,” and he later said he felt the same. She used the word “wonderstruck” in the lyrics as a personal nod to him and even highlighted A D A M in the album booklet—a rare confirmation of her lyrical inspiration. In 2011, Owl City released a cover of “Enchanted” with lyrics directed back at her.
