When people think about sales, they often recall their experiences as consumers or iconic portrayals of salespeople they’ve seen in television and movies like Glengarry Glen Ross, Mad Men, or The Office, to name a few. These experiences and cultural references typically evoke images of straightforward transactions and direct marketing techniques used in consumer purchases.
However, in the realm of B2B sales, the landscape is quite different. Unlike the straightforward transactions depicted in popular media, organizations participate in what academics have called: considered purchases, deliberate buying, or high-involvement buying decisions. This kind of buying is a much more strategic process characterized by thorough research, evaluation, and detailed planning.
Value based selling is a value delivery approach that aligns an organization’s presales, sales, and customer success teams with the way their customers research, evaluate, purchase, and consume solutions. For customer-facing teams, a critical success factor in VBS is understanding and demonstrating how a product or service meets a customer’s unique business needs and objectives.
In this article, we'll explore the fundamentals of VBS and investigate how underlooked technologies, such as external collaboration tools, can empower sales teams to achieve greater success with value based selling.

What is Value Based Selling (VBS)?

Value based selling, or VBS, is an approach that focuses on understanding and reinforcing how the product or service meets a customer's requirements and creates value for the customer. This approach differs from traditional selling techniques that might focus primarily on the features or specifications of the product. Here are some key aspects of VBS:

1. Understanding Customer Needs: The core is to understand the customer's business, their challenges, and their goals. Salespeople spend time researching the customer and their industry to tailor their pitch to the specific needs and pain points of the customer. The most successful VBS teams will collaborate with their customers or prospects to mutually author documents that outline key customer requirements.
2. Communicating Value: Instead of just listing the features of a product or service, VBS involves explaining how these features translate into real benefits for the customer. This might include how the product can increase efficiency, reduce costs, improve quality, or address a specific challenge the customer is facing. Frequently
3. Building Relationships: This approach relies heavily on building a strong, consultative relationship with the customer. Salespeople act as trusted advisors, offering insights and solutions that are in the best interest of the customer rather than just trying to make a quick sale. Successful VBS
4. Customizing/Configuring/Tailoring Solutions: There's often a focus on customizing or tailoring solutions to fit the unique needs of each customer. This might involve adjusting a product or service or combining different products and services into a comprehensive package.
5. Quantifying Value: A key part of this strategy is to quantify the value that the product or service brings. This might involve demonstrating a return on investment (ROI), showing how the product will pay for itself over time, or providing case studies and examples of how similar customers have benefited.
6. Long-term Focus: Generally focused on long-term relationships and customer satisfaction rather than just making individual sales. This approach aims to create loyal customers who will return for repeat business and refer others.
7. Feedback and Adaptation: Regular feedback is sought from customers to ensure that the value promised is being delivered. This information is used to continually adapt and improve the product, service, and sales approach.
8. Educational Approach: Salespeople using this method often focus on educating customers about their products or services and the industry as a whole, helping customers make informed decisions.

Value based selling is particularly effective in industries where products or services are complex, and highly customizable or where the purchasing decision has significant financial implications for the customer. It's a strategic approach that requires a deep understanding of both the product and the customer and a commitment to building long-term customer relationships.

When to Use Value Based Selling?

Not every sales situation calls for value based selling. In fact, VBS is most effective in several key scenarios:

• Complex or High-Value Products/Services: When the products or services in question are complex, require customization, or represent a significant financial investment. This is typical in industries like technology, manufacturing, or specialized professional services. It’s worth noting that the sophistication of the problems and solutions is one big reason why there is substantial documentation throughout the entire process.
• Extended Sales Cycles: Organizations often undergo lengthy deliberation and approval processes, especially for significant purchases. VBS is suitable in these scenarios, offering ample opportunity for building relationships and understanding client needs. The length of the sales process also means that new members are added/removed from the buying team on an as-needed basis. It’s another reason why VBS processes tend to be document-rich; those newly added team members need to be brought up to speed.
• Knowledge-Driven Purchases: In cases where the buyer is looking not just for a product but for expertise and advice. This occurs in sectors where products are technical or where the industry landscape is rapidly evolving. Buyer education is a key part of the VBS process, so much so that analysts have described the new B2B sales process as “buyer enablement,” i.e., educating your buyer so that they can sell for your team internally.
• Solution-Focused Sales: Where the focus is on solving specific business problems or challenges rather than just selling a product. This requires a deep understanding of the customer’s business and the ability to tailor solutions accordingly.
• Relationship-Oriented Business Environments: In industries where building long-term customer relationships is crucial, such as in enterprise solutions or high-end B2B services. Here, the emphasis is on trust, reliability, and ongoing service.
• ROI-Sensitive Purchases: In situations where customers are particularly concerned with the return on their investment, be it through cost savings, efficiency improvements, or other measurable outcomes.

In these scenarios, VBS is not just a technique but a strategic approach, focusing on understanding and aligning with the customer's broader business objectives, delivering tangible value, and establishing a foundation for long-term partnership.

What Does the Value Based Selling Methodology Look Like?

Sales methodologies and CRM solutions prescribe very detailed, complex processes for sales teams. Teams can get so bogged down in the mechanics that they lose sight of the overall objective. To address this, rather than proposing four-, seven-, or ten-step sales processes, here’s our view of the entire selling process mapped to the traditional customer journey or customer activity lifecycle (awareness, consideration, purchase, retention).
Assuming that the customer (or prospect) is already aware of your solution–which is why they are engaging with your sales team in the first place!- VBS aligns neatly with the remaining steps in the customer lifecycle: Consideration, Purchase, and Retention. We elected for this alignment because it helps keep the customer front and center.

Here’s how the process might unfold across each of the three main phases:

1. Presales Phase: Engaging and Understanding
In this phase, which corresponds with the consideration stage of the customer lifecycle, the sales team's primary focus is to engage with the customer to gain a deep understanding of their business environment, challenges, and specific needs. This involves initial contact, where the team establishes rapport and trust, followed by a detailed discovery process. The goal here is to gather enough information to develop a solution that precisely addresses the customer's requirements. Key activities include preparing needs assessment reports and drafting preliminary solution overviews. Risk management at this stage involves ensuring the right customer fit and maintaining a continuous feedback loop to align closely with the customer's objectives.
Objective:
To understand the customer's specific needs and challenges and develop a tailored solution that aligns with these requirements.
Key Activities:

• Initial Customer Engagement: Establish contact and initiate discussions to understand the customer's business environment and key challenges.
• Needs Assessment and Discovery: Conduct detailed sessions to uncover the customer's specific needs, pain points, and objectives.
• Solution Development: Develop a customized solution based on the insights gathered during the discovery process.

Key Documents:

• Needs Assessment Reports: Documents that capture the detailed findings from the discovery sessions, including customer challenges, goals, and requirements.
• Solution Overview Drafts: Preliminary outlines or concepts of the proposed solution shared with the customer to ensure alignment and gather feedback.
• Proof of Concept Plan: A plan for a Proof of Concept or pilot project, especially for technical products, detailing how the proposed solution will be tested in the customer’s environment to demonstrate its effectiveness, feasibility, and requirements fit.

Risk Management & Mitigation:

• Customer Qualification: Ensure that the customer's needs and business objectives are well-aligned with the solution offered to minimize the risk of misalignment.
• Continuous Feedback Loop: Establish a feedback mechanism during the needs assessment to quickly identify and address misunderstandings or misalignments.

2. Proposal Phase: Tailoring and Finalizing
Aligned with the Purchase stage, the sales team now shifts to formalizing the customer’s needs into a comprehensive proposal. This phase involves a collaborative effort to develop a proposal that details the tailored solution, its benefits, and the expected value. The team then engages in discussions with the customer, inviting feedback to refine the offering. Negotiation skills come into play as the team works towards finalizing the terms of the agreement. The creation of formal proposal documents and the preparation of draft contracts or agreements are crucial. Managing risks in this phase includes clear communication of terms and employing flexible negotiation strategies to ensure a successful agreement.
Objective:
To formalize the customer's requirements into a concrete proposal and reach an agreement that meets both parties' needs.
Key Activities:

• Proposal Development: Prepare a comprehensive proposal that addresses the customer's needs, outlines the solution, and details the expected value.
• Customer Review and Feedback: Share the proposal with the customer for review, inviting feedback and discussions to refine the offering.
• Negotiation and Agreement Finalization: Engage in negotiations to finalize terms and reach a mutually beneficial agreement.

Key Documents:

• Formal Proposal Documents: Comprehensive proposals that detail the solution, pricing, benefits, and ROI, tailored to the customer’s specific situation.
• Contracts/Agreements for Review: Draft contracts or agreements shared with the customer, outlining the terms of the partnership, for negotiation and finalization.

Risk Management & Mitigation:

• Clear Communication of Terms: Ensure that all terms, conditions, and expectations are transparent and well-understood to avoid future disputes.
• Flexible Negotiation Strategies: Be prepared with alternative solutions or concessions to keep negotiations on track and prevent deal breakdowns.

3. Post-Sales Phase: Implementing and Nurturing
Once the sale is made, the focus for the sales team in the Post-Sales Phase, corresponding to the Retention stage, is on ensuring a smooth implementation and fostering a long-term relationship. In most organizations, the customer relationship transfers from sales to customer success, professional services, or account management. This new team oversees the rollout of the solution, ensuring it meets the agreed specifications and customer expectations. Concurrently, they provide training and support to facilitate effective use of the solution. Regular performance monitoring and maintaining open communication lines are essential to nurture the ongoing relationship and identify additional opportunities for growth. The team prepares detailed implementation plans, training materials, and performance reports. Risk management in this phase involves closely monitoring the implementation process, conducting regular performance reviews, and building a strong, ongoing relationship with the customer. It’s worth noting that success in this phase reduces churn and can help transform customers into advocates or references that help support the sales teams in presales.
Objective:
To effectively implement the solution, ensure customer satisfaction, and foster a long-term relationship for ongoing business growth.
Key Activities:

• Implementation and Onboarding: Oversee the rollout of the solution, ensuring it is implemented smoothly and meets the customer's needs.
• Training and Support: Provide the necessary training and support to the customer for effective use of the solution.
• Performance Monitoring and Relationship Management: Regularly assess solution performance and maintain ongoing communication with the customer to nurture the relationship and identify additional opportunities.

Key Documents:

• Implementation Plans: Detailed roadmaps outlining the steps for deploying the solution, often requiring customer collaboration for customization and approval.
• Training Materials and User Guides: Tailored instructional materials and guides developed in conjunction with the customer to ensure they address specific user needs and scenarios.
• Performance and Satisfaction Reports: Regular reports and assessments prepared for the customer, reflecting on the performance of the solution and capturing customer feedback for continuous improvement.

Risk Management & Mitigation:

• Implementation Oversight: Closely monitor the implementation process to quickly address any issues that arise.
• Regular Performance Reviews: Conduct regular check-ins with the customer to assess satisfaction and address potential issues proactively.
• Ongoing Relationship Building: Maintain a strong relationship with the customer to understand evolving needs and adjust the solution as necessary.

Gaps in the Sales Technology Stack

As we can see from the methodology above, successful value based selling depends on the depth and quality of customer interactions in every phase. In each phase, we’ve listed documents that the team would jointly author with their customer.
Those mutually authored documents are pivotal in establishing and reinforcing the shared understanding between the sales team and the customer, ensuring that the proposed solutions are in perfect alignment with the customer's requirements. That agreement is what the proposals and contracts are built upon. Those documents enable the customer to sell and advocate internally. That information is used by the post-sales teams to ensure delivery meets the mark.
It’s hard to overstate the importance of that shared understanding found in these documents. Without it, sales pursuits are unlikely to be successful, and even if one manages to close, the customers are unlikely to be satisfied or referencable.

It’s hard to overstate the importance of that shared understanding found in these documents. Without it, sales pursuits are unlikely to be successful, and even if one manages to close, the customers are unlikely to be satisfied or referencable.

However, when we look at the typical “Sales Tech Stack” teams utilize, we don’t see much that supports teams as they pursue better customer alignment. Consider the top ten technologies used by teams today:

1. CRM Systems: Store customer data and track interactions
2. Sales Analytics and Reporting Tools: Focus on sales performance metrics
3. Lead Generation and Prospecting Tools: Identify potential leads
4. Email Outreach Software: Designed for outreach and lead nurturing
5. Sales Automation Tools: Streamline tasks like scheduling and follow-ups
6. Product Demo and Presentation Software: Showcase products, mostly from the point of view of the product company
7. Quote and Proposal Management Tools: Help generate quotes and proposals … once you’ve proven value
8. Contract Management Software: Manages contracts
9. Sales Enablement Platforms: Helps customer-facing teams to learn their product’s capabilities and positioning
10. Sales Forecasting Tools: Predict sales trends and revenue

All those aforementioned tools help market-facing teams with “what,” but do nothing to help teams uncover “why,” or “why on earth does this solution make sense for this customer." These technologies play a role in the process but do not help teams as they seek to understand and map customer needs to the specific capabilities and benefits of a product. In fact, there’s an argument to be made that these tools distract from that all important job.

Why Value Based Selling Teams Benefit From External Collaboration Tools

Today most teams are unaware of the gap in their sales technology (salestech) stack. In fact, collaboration with their customers and prospects on those all-important VBS documents is largely done in email. The limitations of email in terms of version control, tracking complex conversation threads, and efficiently managing document collaboration are well-known. Those limitations lead to miscommunications and inefficiencies, adversely affecting both the sales process, the customer experience, and customer engagement.
That’s why it’s recommended that teams looking for success with value based selling techniques examine external collaboration tools. These tools are specifically tailored to meet the collaborative and customer-centric demands of value based selling. Successfully implemented, these tools can not just streamline the sales team's workflow but also enhance customer engagement and experience, and improve close rates.
Here's a rundown of what an ideal external collaboration toolset should include:
1. Common Workspace for Customer Collaboration: This unified platform consolidates all activities, interactions, and documents related to a customer. It's an execution-focused workspace that supports document collaboration with customers. The workspace allows both team members and customers to access, revise, and discuss various documents in a shared environment.
2. Asynchronous Collaboration Capabilities: Considering that customers and your VBS team are not always in the same geography, and certainly not under the same governance structure, the external collaboration tool must support asynchronous collaboration. This functionality enables team members and customers to contribute and provide feedback at their convenience while keeping everyone informed of the latest updates and developments.
3. Versioning, Transparency, and Accountability: A key feature of the workspace is robust version control for all documents. This allows for tracking changes, updates, or revisions, providing transparency by showing who made specific changes and when. It ensures accountability among all parties and facilitates a clear understanding of each document's evolution, which is crucial for maintaining precision and clarity in complex sales processes.
4. Integrated Communication Tools: Beyond document collaboration, the workspace should integrate asynchronous and real-time communication tools for comments, questions, or discussions. One critical requirement is to ensure that all discussions are recorded and accessible for all participants, this helps keep everyone on the same page.
5. Security and Data Protection: With sensitive customer information often involved, the platform must have strong security measures in place. This includes data encryption, secure access controls, and compliance with data protection regulations, ensuring the confidentiality and integrity of all information.
6. Notifications and Automated Reminders: Automated notifications and reminders about document updates, deadlines, or required actions can keep the collaboration process efficient and on schedule.
7. Integration with CRM and Other Sales Tools: Ideally, thetool will have some method to tie the collaboration with the existing CRM record and other sales tools. This ensures that document-centric processes are tracked as part of the broader sales processes and customer data.
Adopting these advanced, integrated collaboration platforms represents a strategic shift from traditional email communication. This move is pivotal not only for improving internal efficiency but also for elevating the overall customer journey, which is indispensable for the success of the value based selling team.
‍
Final thoughts
In summary, VBS stands out as a vital strategy in the B2B sales landscape, particularly due to its focus on understanding and delivering specific customer value. The effectiveness of this approach is deeply rooted in the quality of interactions and the depth of collaboration between the sales team and the customer. This necessitates a shift from traditional communication methods to more sophisticated external collaboration tools. These tools not only streamline the sales process but also enhance the overall customer experience, ensuring that solutions are not just sold but are perfectly aligned with the customer's needs and expectations. Embracing these tools is not just a step towards improving sales efficiency; it is a commitment to elevating the entire customer journey and achieving long-term success in Value Based Selling.
What is Value Based Selling? was perviously published on our website TakeTurns

Saw nobody was bidding on this so i was able to pick it up, running and driving (with working AC) for $650. Does have a TON of mikes (~270k) but appears to have been well maintained, has had the intake manifold replaced and the oil filter adapter gasket. Also found out it was from the original owner and found the window sticker. From what I can read it has the handling and performance package and a 3.27 axle. Any ideas on how to find a replacement window sticker? The interior was pretty filthy so enjoy the before and after photos. Happy to be back owning a crown vic after the regreable sale of my 05 LX Sport.

The way I approached analyzing the songs on Speak Now is to ignore who or what Taylor said the song was about. Instead I spent time with the lyrics - with the lens of the this being her first album where she’s been forcibly closeted. I do make references to her public narratives, but they aren’t the focus of what I'm writing about.
Links to other posts in my Speak Now series:

Prologue
The VMAs - Before and After
Album Cover and Album Prologue

Disclaimer #1: I have adhd so I’m very likely going to make spelling/grammar mistakes - please accept my apology is advance for that. And for my overuse of commas.(My apology as well for all the additional context my adhd is going to give you in parentheses throughout this post).
Disclaimer #2: I decided not to venture into the ethics of creating public narratives about public people and then packaging that up for your fans to eat up like Taylor likes to do. There is a time and a place for that conversation, but the focus on my Speak Now writing is about might have happened. I also have a hard time having sympathy for John Mayer or Jake Gyllenhaal who agreed to the appearance of dating a much younger woman - which is gross and should not be normalized. Did she cross a line at times - like with Joe Jonas’s ex - maybe, but she was 18-20 when she did this and had no idea where things would end up with her easter eggs. Plus if she felt cornered by her label and the music industry, I have sympathy for that.
When Taylor talked about Speak Now after it was released, she made a point to say all the songs on the album were not love songs:

I would consider the songs on this record as emotions—that’s what they’re about. There are some that are about infatuation and adoration and the positive, magical feelings of love. But then there are the ones that deal with when it goes wrong, which it oftentimes does. And all the different ways that it can go wrong and all the different ways it can make you feel and all the different phases of that you go through. Then there’s just social dynamics, dealing with people and learning about the fact that life is so unpredictable. I think that’s one of the things I’ve learned—life and love are unpredictable.

I won’t be analyzing every lyric of every song for this deep dive because I would like to have my Speak Now series finished before Taylor comes out (manifesting). I will be highlighting things I think are relevant to this discussion. This post and part two, will focus on the OG Speak Now. I will be analyzing the vault tracks when I write about SN Taylor’s Version.
Speak Now was released on October 25, 2010
Taylor in reference to Speak Now from her Billboard Women of the Decade acceptance speech:

I decided I would be what they said I couldn’t be. I didn’t know then that soon enough people would decide on something else I wasn’t quite doing right, and then the circle would keep going on and on and rolling along and I would keep accommodating, over-correcting, in an effort to appease my critics.

👀👀👀 and, very mirrorball coded.
Track 1- Mine
Mine wasn’t Taylor’s first time wRiTInG fROm a mALe PerSPeCtiVe, but personally, this song clocked queer for me even when Taylor didn’t ping my gaydar yet:

You said, "I remember how we felt, sitting by the water
And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
She is the best thing that's ever been mine"

What she does with Mine, is very similar to what Taylor did in Love Story. She gets to belt out about loving a woman, without raising suspicion.
With Taylor's first two albums, her songs were more about what she thought love was about, but now that she has likely experienced actual love and heartbreak, her writing is more real, even with the truth hidden in plain sight.
I believe that has been her “official” game plan since Speak Now, and I believe she addresses that in Midnights.
Although we’re not there yet, I did write about Dear Reader and the Speak Now TV announcement being connected.
In the Mine music video, Taylor has a vision of her future, which includes two kids. It’s hard to get a good screenshot but you can see them in what I’ve posted below.
A young Preston and Chad?
If I’m right about Speak Now and Midnights being connected, I wonder if her two sons from the Anti-Hero music video are the grown up versions of her sons from the Mine music video.
Fun Glee fact: Mine was used when Brittana (Glee’s first sapphic relationship) broke up. Kind of dick move of Ryan Murphy given Diana’s “rumoured” relationship with Taylor - something Ryan was supposedly not a fan of.
Bonus Fun Glee Fact: Glee only used two Taylor songs during its run. In Nov 2022, Ryan described Taylor as “the one that got away” 👀
Fun song release fact: Mine was leaked ✌🏻weeks ahead of it’s scheduled release

But an hour into the flight, one of my managers came up to me and said, “Hey, so, try not to panic. But how would you feel about a release of the single on August 5? So that’s 8/5. And eight plus five is 13, which is your lucky number!” I said, “It leaked, didn’t it?” And she said, “Yes.”

Eras tour pairing (I'm focusing on the first time each song was played on the Eras tour): May 7th in Nashville: Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve” with Aaron Dessner and “Mine”
What a pair of songs to put together 👀👀
Track 2 - Sparks Fly
The first thing I noticed about Sparks Fly is that it doesn’t use gendered pronouns. Gotta love our gender neutral queen!
First verse

The way you move is like a full on rainstorm
And I'm a house of cards
You're the kind of reckless that should send me running
But I kinda know that I won't get far

Honestly after every verse/chorus of the song I could just write “this is queer.” Because, for real, it is. Especially given the circumstances I think this album was written under.
First verse continued

And you stood there in front of me just
Close enough to touch
Close enough to hope you couldn't see
What I was thinking of

This is queer (lol). No really, it is. It is amazing how Taylor is able to capture that feeling of being so close to somebody and wanting something you can’t have.
It also reminds me of Treacherous

Put your lips close to mine
As long as they don't touch

Part of the chorus

As the lights go down
Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around
'Cause I see sparks fly, whenever you smile
Get me with those green eyes, baby

One thing I noticed when doing this deep dive, is how connected the songs/lyrics on this album are. I think Speak Now has the most overt connections (although I could be wrong).
Again so much pining here.
I am trying not to do a muse heavy post, but it is worth mentioning that Liz Huett’s eyes can have a green tint to them, and we also have Dianna Agron as a possible connection. I bring this up not to start a shipping war, but to show that Taylor could have been writing about the women in her life that she was suspected to be in a relationship with (or at least a situationship) at the time of writing the album.
Second Verse

My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea
You touch me once and it's really something
You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be
I'm on my guard for the rest of the world
But with you, I know it's no good
And I could wait patiently
But I really wish you would

This is so so so queer (once I come up with a bit, I stick to it lol). Jokes aside though, this song does a bang up job of describing what it’s like to want someone you feel you shouldn’t have. Or don’t want to have.
Even though I believe Taylor has known about her attraction to women for a long time, she is conflicted about it. If she knew she had to stay closeted at this point, that could be what some of the conflict is about (outside of the heteronormativity and homophobia of the world). ‘
The highlighted line could also be a connection to IWYW from 1989.
Eras tour pairing: May 5th (aka the night SN TV was announced) in Nashville: “Sparks Fly” and “Teardrops on My Guitar”
Track 3 - Back to December
The consensus from the general public, and Taylor Lautner, is that Back to December is about him.
In the album prologue, Taylor wrote:

To the beautiful boy whose heart I broke in December

Taylor constructed the narrative and nobody looked further into things.
From People:

Thanks to several pointed references in the lyrics, many assumed this breakup track was about Swift’s brief romance with her Valentine’s Day costar Taylor Lautner, from whom she split in December 2009. But it was Lautner himself who later confirmed the song is about him.

How convenient!
Thanks once again to the Swiftgron Timeline (and u/Alex-Chaser) for this tidbit:

Taylor Lautner reportedly flies to Nashville to be with Taylor on her birthday but they break it off in December because “he liked her more than she liked him.”

This is the kind of easter egg planning that reminds me of Taylor's perfect angel boyfriend, Joe, being spotted wearing dark jeans and Nikes to connect him to Delicate. Or, Taylor hiding the name Kim in a song title so everyone thinks the song is about Kim K.
Bridge

So good to me, so right And how you held me in your arms that September night

The consensus on the reference to "that September night" is the night of the VMAs. Taylor L. was on stage when Kanye interrupted Taylor's acceptance speech. Taylor L. has talked about thinking at first that Kayne coming on stage was a bit so he didn't step in and do anything. Clearly Taylor was upset that night.
Or, perhaps that is a misdirection and the real September night Taylor is referencing, is the September I discussed in my post about the VMAs.
The song could actually be about Taylor L. - that is a possibility. Maybe it is about Taylor breaking his heart when she realized that she was very much into women.
Their relationship took place when they were filming a movie together. So there’s that too!
Like Sparks Fly, gender is not assigned to the subject of Back To December.
There is this post by u/TaniaHylian, who makes a connection between Back to December and Emily Poe.
Yet another example of there being a possible sapphic connection to a song that was presented to the world as a song about a boy.
Eras tour part 1 pairing: July 15th in Denver: “Starlight” and “Back to December”
Track 4 - Speak Now
I think the big elephant in the room here is that Taylor didn’t “Speak Now” when she wrote this album and hasn’t since then either. Although you can make the argument that she has been speaking her truth the only way she’s been able to.
Taylor’s “official” story for this song is that it isn’t even about her. It’s about a friend of hers who is in love with someone who is marrying someone else. I guess Taylor did write fictionalized songs before folklore after all 😉
The song has he/him pronouns, but as we know, that doesn’t mean it’s not queer
Chorus

Don't say yes, run away now
I'll meet you when you're out of the church at the back door
Don't wait, or say a single vow
You need to hear me out
And they said, "Speak now"

There are no gendered pronouns in the chorus - maybe Taylor is asking the bride to runaway 🤷🏻‍♀️
Pre chorus

She floats down the aisle like a pageant queen
But I know you wish it was me
You wish it was me
Don't you?

The bride is someone Taylor thinks is pretty enough to be a pageant queen 👀
One of many examples of Taylor seemingly being more obsessed with the woman in a relationship, than the guy she has feelings for - like in You Belong with Me.
Eras tour pairing: April 13th (143 reference if you’re into that) in Tampa: “Speak Now” and “Treacherous” 👀
When she sang Speak Now at the eras tour, it was the first time Taylor played songs for the acoustic set in THE YELLOW DRESS. The Tampa shows were also the first shows she played post the Toe break up announcement.
Taylor said this before she played Speak Now:

“So I’ve been thinking a lot about one of my albums recently,” Swift told the audience. “One of my albums has been on my mind a lot. I’ve been thinking about it, lots of thoughts going on in my brain about it, so I thought I might play the title track of that album.”

Funny, I have also been having a lot of thoughts in my brain about Speak Now lmao.
The Rolling Stone article I linked to, points out a connection to the yellow dress from the Eras tour and the yellow dress on the back of the Speak Now album cover. Which is funny, because I only just made that connection a few days ago lol.
Track 5 - Dear John
Hoo boy - this should be a fun one!
Timeline for Dear John:

"Dear John" was written by Swift sometime in late 2009 or early 2010, according to Swift's interviews about her "Speak Now" album.

The classic definition of a ‘Dear John’ letter is a break up letter. I think that Dear John is actually about Taylor breaking up with Scott B. because of the deal she feels she was forced to make to stay closeted.

Though Swift declined to comment on who the song was about while speaking to PEOPLE in 2010, noting the track was "a tough one to write,"

I think Taylor put a red herring in the song to connect it to John Mayer. There is a guitar riff used in Dear John that people have said is similar to a guitar riff John uses in his music. I am not super familiar with his music, but that sounds like something Taylor would do. I think she also did the same thing for I Can See You.
First Verse

Long were the nights
When my days once revolved around you
Counting my footsteps
Praying the floor won't fall through again
And my mother accused me of losing my mind
But I swore I was fine
You paint me a blue sky
And go back and turn it to rain
And I lived in your chess game
But you changed the rules every day
Wonderin' which version of you I might get on the phone tonight
Well, I stopped pickin' up, and this song is to let you know why

There is nothing in these lyrics that state directly the song is about a former love interest.They can absolutely be read that way of course, but they don’t read that way on their own.
If Taylor viewed Scott B. as a father, that could be why Taylor’s nights revolved around him. Maybe she wanted to make Scott proud and valued their partnership. Plus we know how ambitious Taylor has always been.
Taylor mentions a chess game - which has many possible connections. If you think Mastermind is her answer to staying closeted, then the Eras tour visuals for the song could be a reference to Dear John.
There are also chess references in the Alice in Wonderland series - which Taylor has a history of loving prior to her meeting Dianna. I think “living in a chess game” is a metaphor for “trapped in the closet”
It also sounds like whatever rules were created for the chess game/forced closeting, were changed constantly.
Taylor stopped taking “his calls” after whatever happened between her and the song’s subject. So this song, is the (hidden) explanation to Scott B. on why she’s breaking up with him/BMthe music industry
Chorus

Dear John
I see it all now that you're gone
Don't you think I was too young to be messed with?
The girl in the dress
Cried the whole way home
I should've known

“Don’t think I was too young to be messed with” is an obvious line about the age difference between John Mayer and Taylor. But seeing as in this post, the song isn’t about him, I think it’s a reference to being so young when she was pressured to stay closeted. And to take whatever deal she took when she wrote Speak Now.
Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve

And if I was a child, did it matter
If you got to wash your hands?

💔💔💔
Second Verse

Well, maybe it's me
And my blind optimism to blame
Or maybe it's you and your sick need
To give love then take it away
And you'll add my name
To your long list of traitors
Who don't understand
And I look back in regret
How I ignored when they said
"Run as fast as you can."

I take her “blind optimism” to be about her thinking she’d be able to come out/write queer songs for Speak Now.
If this song is about Scott B, he sounds like a giant asshole. And it sounds like he played a lot of mind games with Taylor during the tenure that they worked together. If Taylor believed he loved her (like family), only to discover he viewed her differently, that would sting a lot.
Based on this verse, Taylor isn’t the only one that Scott B. might have messed up through the music industry. Prior to starting BMR, Scott worked at a number of different record labels. Maybe there were also other artists that wanted to be more free in their music, or thought they were dealing with an honest person, but that wasn’t the case.
Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve

I regret you all the time
I can't let this go, I fight with you in my sleep
The wound won't close, I keep on waiting for a sign
I regret you all the time

No wonder Taylor is torn up inside. Imagine feeling this level of regret for someone who was instrumental in helping you launch your career.
Addition to the chorus

Dear John
I see it all now. It was wrong
Don't you think nineteen's too young to be played
By your dark twisted games?
When I loved you so
I should've known

Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve

And I damn sure never would've danced with the devil
At nineteen

I don’t want to be repetitive, but ouch, ouch, ouch. The lyrics from Dear John hurt enough on their own, but their connection to WCS, makes them even more painful.
Bridge

You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry
Never impressed by me acing your tests
All the girls that you've run dry
Have tired lifeless eyes
'Cause you've burned them out
But I took your matches before fire could catch me
So, don't look now
I'm shining like fireworks over your sad empty town

It sounds like Scott B, was able to manipulate Taylor with “sorries” that weren’t sincere. He managed their relationship by how he could get Taylor to do what he wanted. Even when she wanted to do something else.
I see a link between the bridge and I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

Crucial evidence, I didn't imagine the whole thing
I'm sure I can pass this test (one, two, three, four)

I believe ICDIWABH is about numerous times in Taylor’s career where she had to perform with a big smile on her face, while she was going through some serious personal pain. One of those times being when she was writing Speak Now (and performing on the Fearless Tour at the same time).
Through a 2024 lens, I wonder if the line about “took your matches before fire could catch me” is about her long term goal of coming out and hoping to “burn it all down” by exposing the corruption of the music industry.
Outro

You should've known
Don't you think I was too young?
You should've known

There is a big switch in the outro. Previously in the song, Taylor wrote “I should’ve known,” but in the outro she places the blame firmly where it belongs. Regardless of whether this song is about John Mayer or Scott B, (or someone else much older than Taylor), they should’ve known that Taylor was too young for whatever happened.
Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve

Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts
Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first

💔💔💔
To me, her girlhood, is Taylor's innocence and the queer youth she could’ve had if she was able to be her true self.
The bottom line after listening to Dear John, no matter your interpretation, is that Taylor was left devastated by the fallout from this relationship. Even as an adult (back to WCS), she is still tormented by what happened.
Eras tour pairing: June 24th in Minneapolis: “Dear John” and “Daylight” 👀👀👀
I feel like I could write a whole post about Taylor singing Dear John with Daylight. The implications! Especially if Dear John is about the deal she made to stay closeted and Daylight was supposed to be her coming out song/album 💔💔💔
This is what Taylor said before she played Dear John:

I’m not putting this album out so you can go on the internet and defend me against someone you think I wrote a song about 14 million years ago

To me, Taylor is also calling into question the narrative that Dear John is about John Mayer.
Again, from People:

Mayer later hinted he was the inspiration as he talked to Rolling Stone about how the song “really humiliated” him.
“It made me feel terrible,” Mayer told the publication. “Because I didn’t deserve it. I’m pretty good at taking accountability now, and I never did anything to deserve that. It was a really lousy thing for her to do.”

Thanks to u/OK-Assistance-1860, for pointing me to Taylor’s response to his humiliation

How presumptuous! I never disclose who my songs are about.
When Swift's interviewer then attempted to recount for Mayer's comments about the song (that it "humiliated" him and he felt her releasing it was "a really lousy thing for her to do"), the singer cut her off, explaining she "can't handle" sad, mean, or otherwise negative comments because she does not have "that thick a skin."
"No! I don't want to know, I don't want to know…I know it wasn't good, so I don't want to know. I put a high priority on staying happy, and I know what I can't handle…It's not that I'm this egomaniac and I don't want to hear anything negative, because I do keep myself in check. But I've never developed that thick a skin. So I just kind of live a life, and I let all the gossip live somewhere else."

As I mentioned in my disclaimer, I don’t feel much sympathy for John over this - maybe that’s wrong of me - but that is where I am right now. However, if the song is not about John Mayer, the speech at the Eras tour was likely Taylor trying to make amends for what she did during the Speak Now era. And to avoid him being a target again when SN TV was released.
Dear John is a Taylor song with so much lore behind it. Taylor standing on stage, calling that narrative into question, should have been a big deal.
But that was lost over people freaking out that she was playing Dear John live for the first time since 2012, the anticipation of Speak Now TV being released, and of course, the exit of Matty Healy in the TSCU around this time.
Taylor’s words being lost in the public’s insistence that they know who a song is about, is a tale as old as time when it comes to Taylor.
It is wild to see in action, and so frustrating when you’re a Gaylor.
But to Taylor I think it was the only way she could keep the deal she made with Scott B, while still writing from a place of truth.
