The 16-track CD is made up of live recordings of all Speak Now tracks on the standard edition save for two—"Never Grow Up" and "Innocent", and the deluxe edition track "Ours". Additionally, it includes three covers of pop songs of other artists—"Drops of Jupiter" (Train), "Bette Davis Eyes" (Kim Carnes), and "I Want You Back" (the Jackson 5). Swift's single "Back to December" was performed as part of a medley with OneRepublic's "Apologize" and her own "You're Not Sorry" from her 2008 album Fearless. The DVD or Blu-ray contains bonus performances of Swift's other songs not from Speak Now and video recordings of Swift's rehearsals for the tour and personal life.
In Brazil, Speak Now World Tour – Live was supported by the digital single "Long Live" featuring the Brazilian singer Paula Fernandes, which reached the top 10 on the Brasil Hot 100 Airplay chart. Music critics praised the live album for showcasing Swift's stage persona and showmanship, but considered it too long and took issue with her live vocals as weak and strained. In the United States, the album peaked at number 11 on the Billboard 200 and has sold 368,000 copies as of July 2019. Speak Now World Tour – Live additionally entered the top 30 on charts in Australia, where it was certified triple platinum, as well as Canada, and Japan.
