Två nya låtar bekräftade! - "A Swift Return"
Här är ett utdrag från artikeln där hon berättar om vad de två nya låtarna handlar om.
She describes Speak Now as a two-year diary covering everything from her "tendency to run from love" in first single "Mine" (already a top 10 hit) to "the anxiety and conflict and awkwardness you feel running into an ex in public" in "The Story Of Us". "Back To December," she says, is the "first time I've ever apologized to anyone in a song." "I was careless with a boy's heart, and I shouln't have been." Hon berättar även att titellåten på albumet, Speak Now, blev inspirerad av en vän till Taylor som såg sin kärlek gifta sig med någon annan. Hon frågade då sin vän under bröllopet om hon skulle "speak now or forever hold your peace".
Det blir dålig kvalité om jag lägger upp bilden här, så jag länkar er till TaylorSwiftWeb's galleri där ni kan se den tydligare. Det är en väldigt bra artikel och absolut värd att läsa!

Intervju med Entertainment Weekly
As you’re likely very well aware, Grammy-winning star Taylor Swift has recorded another sure-to-be-massive album, Speak Now, which comes out Oct. 25.
The star, who has rocketed to fame over the past few years, recently spoke to EW about her new disc, telling us that it’s a “collection of confessions—things I wish I had said when I was in the moment.” The title track, indeed, is about “the moment in a wedding where you speak now or forever hold your peace.” That’s just a tease about the album. More details can be found in the Fall Music Preview in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly.
But until you pick that up, enjoy some outtakes from our chat with Taylor.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Do you remember the moment when you finished the track list and how that felt?
TAYLOR SWIFT: I finished the track list about two months ago. I don’t stop writing songs when I have enough songs to make an album. For the last two years, I have just been trying to beat what I have on this list of potential songs for the record.
I would think that working on an album is stressful. But when you talk about working on Speak Now, you seem so happy. Was it a joyful process? Or was there a stressful part to making it?
There is a stressful and joyful element to making an album. For me, I’m either incredibly stressed or overjoyed, and the way that usually goes is that if I’ve just written a song, I’m the happiest you will ever see me. But if I haven’t written a song in a week and a half, I am more stressed than you will ever, ever see me at any other point. If I haven’t written a song in more than about nine days, that’s when I start to zone out in the middle of conversations because I’m thinking about what I could be writing about next. For me, it’s just such a fun challenge to constantly be writing and constantly be trying to top what you just wrote. It’s one of my favorite games to play—trying to beat what I’ve written last. What I wrote last is something I got really excited about when I wrote it, but I know I could write something better. But it’s just a really fun thing to go through.

Ville även lägga upp en underbar bild Taylor nyligen lagt upp på twitter, eftersom alla kanske inte har sett den.
Har inte kollat upp vad tiden kommer att vara i Sverige när programmet visas, utan återkommer med detta! Vi kommer att kunna se videon på CMT.com, MTV.com och VH1.com (kollade upp om svenska MTV skulle sända den på TV, men det står inget om det på deras tv-tablå).
Taylor och Katie kommer att vara live och visa Mine musikvideo för första gången, diskutera videon och inspelningsplatsen m.m.
Jag är inte säker om de kommer att visa hela denna tv-specialen på nätet, eller om de bara kommer att släppa musikvideon där. Jag är extremt förvirrad, men jag återkommer med det med...!
Taylor donerar 100,000 dollar till "Kids Kingdom"
Country music sensation and former Hendersonville resident Taylor Swift recently donated $100,000 to the city’s efforts to rebuild Kids Kingdom, Mayor Scott Foster announced Tuesday.
The $100,000 donation from the Taylor Swift Charitable Fund had been discussed earlier in the evening when the city’s finance committee members voted to send an ordinance accepting the money to the full board. Board members are expected to vote on the ordinance at the next Board of Mayor and Aldermen meeting on Sept. 14.
According to Parks Director Dave LeMarbre, Swift made the donation to help the city with its flood relief efforts. Although the 13-year-old children’s playground had been underwater several times over the years, it wasn’t destroyed by the historic flood that hit the city May 1-2. Had it been damaged more, the city might have received insurance money for the damage, LeMarbre noted. He said Swift’s business manager suggested the money go toward Kids Kingdom and refurbishing the city’s volleyball courts.
“It’s overwhelming,” LeMarbre said. “We didn’t expect that. We appreciate Taylor’s donation as well as all the others who have stepped up.”

När Taylor träffade Paramore första gången!
About three years ago, Taylor Swift met pop-punk band Paramore at a party for Grammy nominees in Nashville, a city both acts call home.
What a funny meeting that was, by the way – They all focused on their differences in height, like, right away.
“God, I’m such a towering GIANT!” Taylor said as she stood nearly a foot above Paramore members.
“No dude,” retorted lead singer Hayley Williams, “we’re freakin’ MIDGETS!”
Since then, Taylor and the guys and gal in Paramore have been great friends.
And here’s the latest proof: Taylor put a sparkly No. 13 (her lucky number) on the bass of a guy in New Found Glory, a punk-rock band opening for Paramore.
Paramore put the pic up on its Web site with the caption: “Taylor helped Ian (Grushka) decorate his bass with a bedazzled 13! Pimp for sure.”

Koreografen till VMA uppträdandet förra året pratar om Taylor
Koreografen Danielle Flora som planerade Taylors uppträdande på förra årets VMA säger att hon blev inspirerad av You Belong With Me musikvideon och Taylor honsjälv, nedan.
At the 2009 Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift not only took over the subway for her show-stopping rendition of her VMA-winning hit, "You Belong With Me," but she also took over Sixth Avenue and sang her heart out in a girly, apple-red dress. Choreographer Danielle Flora, who worked with the singer on the performance, admits that her Lucas Till-starring video played a major role in the staging and choreography of the performance.
"I did seek a lot of inspiration from her video. I mean, I think it's important to know someone's work and what they've done, especially if you're going to be choreographing for them," Flora told MTV News. "You need to know what their style is and what they like and ... really understand who they are. And I think I did get inspiration from her videos, and I was inspired by her."
As it turns out, Swift herself was as much an inspiration as the Roman White-directed video. "She is pretty amazing. I am inspired by her songwriting abilities," she said. "She is a very interesting girl. She is a very smart girl."

Chelsea planerar för VMA...
The host of MTV's upcoming Video Music Awards wants to make peace between the two mega-stars, she told Ryan Seacrest on his KISS-FM radio show Thursday.
"We'll try to think of something clever to do with them, because that would be really fun," Handler said.
West sparked a scandal last year when he stormed the stage at the MTV VMAs during Swift's acceptance speech for "Best Female Video" award. The rapper yanked the microphone from Swift's hands to begin ranting that fellow nominee, Beyonce, had "one of the greatest videos of all time" for "Single Ladies."
Even though West has apologized, the two haven't been seen in the same vicinity since that fateful day.
"I'd like to get them together," Handler told Seacrest. "We've never really seen them together since then. They were supposed to be together on 'SNL,' but then that didn't end up happening."
Since West is slated to perform at this year's VMAs on Sept. 12, anything could happen – even reconciliation.
Jag kan bara tänka mig att om de ska göra något roligt, så måste Taylor vara med på det, eller vad tycker ni? Men Taylor har ju även skojat om "incidenten" flera gånger (på SNL bland annat), så vi får väl se hur det blir!
Artikel om 'Mine' i Rolling Stone
Taylor Swift was somewhere over the Pacific Ocean, on a flight bound for Tokyo, when one of her managers walked over to her seat. “He said, ‘I don’t want you to panic,’” Swift recalls. “And I said, “The song leaked didn’t it?’” Swift was right. “Mine,” the lead single from her upcoming album, Speak Now, was all over the Internet 12 days before its planned release date. “We’d been on superhigh alert,” says Scott Borchetta, president of Swift’s label, Big Machine. “Once it hit Perez Hilton, I called everyone and said, ‘We’ve gotta go now!’”
Within a few hours, Borchetta’s team had sent the single to radio and orchestrated a rush-release to iTunes. “Plans changed,” says Borchetta. “That’s the way of the world.”
By the time Swift landed, “Mine” was Number One on iTunes (the song sold 297,000 copies in four days). “I turned on my phone and there were texts saying, ‘Congratulations’” recalls Swift. “A leak is so out of my comfort zone, but it ended up good in the end. It made me so emotional that I started crying.”
“Mine” follows in the tradition of Swift’s biggest hits; it’s a catchy country-pop love song that’s ripped straight from her diary. “I was reflecting back on a boy I liked at a certain time,” she says. “The song is about what it would be like if I actually let my guard down.” The tune also raises expectations for the singer’s third album, which retailers expect to sell around 800,000 copies its first week, making it one of the biggest records of the year. (Her last album, 2008’s Fearless, is six times platinum.)
At home in Nashville, Swift is bracing for a whirlwind. “I’m obsessed with being busy,” she says. “It’s hectic and nonstop, but I’m so ready.”
