The Speak Now World Tour was the second concert tour by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, in support of her third studio album, Speak Now (2010). It began in Singapore, on February 9, 2011, and concluded in Auckland, New Zealand, on March 18, 2012. Visiting Asia and Europe before kicking off in North America on May 27, 2011, the tour covered 110 shows across 19 territories.

The set list consisted mostly of songs from Speak Now, with a few numbers from Swift's first two albums, Taylor Swift (2006) and Fearless (2008). "Back to December" was performed as a mashup with "You're Not Sorry" and OneRepublic's "Apologize", and "Fearless" with Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" and Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours". The stage decorations featured Broadway-inspired elements such as lighting, choreography, and costume changes. On several US shows, Swift invited special guests to perform duets onstage with her. Multiple shows were recorded for a concert film and live album, both titled Speak Now World Tour – Live, released on November 21, 2011.

Music critics generally praised the production and Swift's showmanship and interactions with her audience. The North American shows were met with high demand that led to tickets being sold out within minutes. According to Pollstar, the Speak Now World Tour was the highest-grossing by a female artist and the fourth-highest-grossing overall of 2011; in North America, it was the year's second-highest-grossing tour. Billboard ranked it fifth on their list of the top tours of 2011, with estimated total gross of $123.7 million and attendance of 1.6 million.

The show began with Swift's recorded voice saying, "There's a time for silence and a time for waiting your turn.

The next number was "Speak Now", for which the stage was decorated to resemble a wedding ceremony in a church, with pews, a groom, and a bride. Towards the end of the song, Swift walked with the groom across the venue towards an auxiliary stage (the B-stage) at the other end of the venue, where she continued with an acoustic segment, consisting of a mashup "Fearless" / Jason Mraz's "I'm Yours" / Train's "Hey, Soul Sister" on ukulele, and "Last Kiss" on guitar, performed with Swift sitting under an illuminated tree. The last song she performed on the B-stage was "You Belong with Me", for which she then returned to the main stage to join her band members dancing. Next, she sang "Dear John" as fireworks accompanied the song's chorus.

For the next number, "Enchanted", Swift performed standing on a winding staircase as her backup dancers reenacted a ballet.{{cite magazine |last=Reuter |first=Annie |date=November 22, 2011 |title=Taylor Swift Welcomes NYC Crowd to Dream World For 'Speak Now' Tour |url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-welcomes-nyc-crowd-to-dream-world-for-speak-now-tour-465011/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220531130218/https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/taylor-swift-welcomes-nyc-crowd-to-dream-world-for-speak-now-tour-465011/ |archive-date=May 31, 2022 |access-date=November 30, 2021 |magazine=Billboard}} Before singing the next song, "Haunted", Swift used a mallet to strike giant bells. As she sang the track, the bells rose up off the stage and from which acrobatic dancers appeared, performing on trapezes. Swift then dedicated the next number, "Long Live", to her band and audience. During the encore, Swift sang "Fifteen" alone on guitar, sitting by herself on a sofa, as the video screens showed images of her touring band's members at 15 years old.{{Cite news |last=Spera |first=Keith |date=October 6, 2011 |title=Taylor Swift was true to herself at the New Orleans Arena |url=http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2011/10/taylor_swift_was_true_to_herse.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://archive.today/20161026210739/http://www.nola.com/music/index.ssf/2011/10/taylor_swift_was_true_to_herse.html#selection-2115.123-2115.291 |archive-date=October 26, 2016 |access-date=October 26, 2016 |work=The Times-Picayune}} She closed the concert with "Love Story"; she sang the song while standing on a suspended platform that resembled a balcony, whisking around the venue as confetti fell down.

Starting from the first North American show, Swift wrote different song lyrics and occasionally quotes from famous speeches and movies on her left arm for each show using a Sharpie marker.{{cite web |last=Dukes |first=Billy |date=July 26, 2011 |title=Taylor Swift's Arm Lyrics From the 2011 Speak Now Tour – Full List |url=https://tasteofcountry.com/taylor-swift-arm-lyrics/ |access-date=March 27, 2023 |website=Taste of Country |archive-date=October 26, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111026230412/https://tasteofcountry.com/taylor-swift-arm-lyrics/ |url-status=live }} At a rehearsal for the tour in Nashville on May 21, 2011, Swift wrote a lyric from Selena Gomez's "Who Says" onto her left arm to cope with "a rough day", and she thereafter wrote different lyrics onto her arm "like a mood ring" for each show.{{Cite magazine |last=Scaggs |first=Austin |date=August 18, 2011 |title=Taylor Swift on Her 'Speak Now' Tour |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/taylor-swift-on-her-speak-now-tour-187059/ |url-access=limited |access-date=June 6, 2024 |magazine=Rolling Stone |archive-date=June 6, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240606041456/https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-country/taylor-swift-on-her-speak-now-tour-187059/ |url-status=live }} Taste of Country thought that this practice demonstrated Swift's "mischievous habit of slipping encoded details of her personal life" into her music and performances, while The New Yorker cited it as an example of Swift's practice to increase "fan obsession" of "a desire for intimacy between singer and listener" by allowing her audience to get involved in her personal space.{{cite news |last=Widdicombe |first=Lizzie |date=October 10, 2011 |title=You Belong With Me |url=http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/10/111010fa_fact_widdicombe?currentPage=all |url-access=limited |access-date=October 11, 2011 |newspaper=The New Yorker |archive-date=October 8, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111008082807/http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2011/10/10/111010fa_fact_widdicombe?currentPage=all |url-status=live }}

In a four-star review, The Guardian wrote: "Swift has the ability to flirt with 20,000 people at once, and so likably that you can forgive the occasional bit of shtick."
