Recorded during her Speak Now World Tour in 2011, this live recording collects 16 performances from the country-pop starlet, including all 14 songs from her 2010 studio outing
Speak Now
, as well as covers of
Train
's "Drops of Jupiter" and
Kim Carnes
' "Bette Davis Eyes." The DVD/Blu-ray disc that accompanies some editions of
World Tour Live: Speak Now
features 18 performances, as well as home movies and rehearsal footage for the show, which was an elaborate affair that utilized dancers, aerialists, numerous costume changes, and a mammoth, multi-stage setup that more closely resembled a high-profile Broadway musical than it did a country music concert. ~ James Christopher Monger
