Taylor Swift ‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ Vault Tracks Review: Key Co-Stars Include Hayley Williams, Fall Out Boy and… Grandmother Marjorie
Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Sorry, Hayley Williams and Fall Out Boy: Marjorie has stolen the show again. Not that Taylor Swift’s beloved grandmother actually puts in a vocal appearance from the great beyond, as she did on the “Evermore” album three years ago. But Marjorie Finlay still manages to be a dominative force in the Vault Tracks for the newly released “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” by having her photos appear throughout the lyric video for the closing track, “Timeless,” and having her relationship with Taylor’s granddad be a focus of the inspirational ballad. Twenty-first-century pop-punk or emo can hardly compete with that emotional a capper. But for those less sentimentally inclined, Paramore’s singer and Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump will be way up there in what Swift fans immediately take away from the six previously unheard compositions that have been appended to the previous 16-track running order of 2010’s “Speak Now.” The duet with Williams, “Castles Crumbling,” is particularly pungent, as a lament that just about could have been an outtake from the more recent “Folklore” or “Evermore” instead of an album that came out a full decade before those. As for the FOB-aided track, it’s the farthest thing from a Swift classic. But — having been written, like the rest of these tracks, when the artist was 18 or 19 — the number does hark back to an era when girls (and Fall Out Boys) could just wanna have fun.

And I get to travel the world doing shows with @paramore!! Hayley and I have been friends since we were teens in Nashville and now we get to frolic around the UK/Europe next summer???

Foo Fighters covered a snippet of Beastie Boys‘ ‘Sabotage’ during their set at Bonnaroo.The show at this year’s event in Tennessee earlier this week marked the latest of many upcoming festival appearances the band are set to make this summer.Cuing bassist Nate Mendel to kick off the 1994 hit’s opening riff, frontman Dave Grohl said: “Fuck, let’s do it – go, Nate, go,” before he took on the first verse.After a few lines, Grohl stopped and said: “I can’t fucking rap and I don’t know the song, though I love it.” He then added: “Next year, we’ll come back to Bonnaroo, we’ll play at the fucking ‘Wha-What Stage’ and we’ll do a whole Beastie Boys set, how about that?” You can view footage below.Foo sabotage at Roo #bonnaroo #foofighters #beastieboys pic.twitter.com/8fp8tDGJlK— Velvet Jones (@velvetjonesing) June 19, 2023The snippet was part of a medley section that the band have been including on their tour which has previously seen them cover snippets of Devo’s ‘Whip It’ and Nine Inch Nails’ ‘March Of The Pigs’.During the same performance at Bonnaroo, the band were also joined onstage by Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams for ‘My Hero’.The singer – who has often cited the band as a source of inspiration for Paramore – had performed on that same stage just before Foo Fighters kicked off their show.Elsewhere in their set, Foo Fighters also broke out multiple songs from their latest studio effort, ‘But Here We Are’.Released earlier this month, the album marked the band’s 11th studio album, and their first new music since the sudden passing of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins last March.
