She had a webchat yesterday and I have the scoop! It lasted about an hour, and almost 60,000 participated at one point! People from all over the world watched, including the U.S., Italy, France, Brazil, Ireland and Sweden.
New music from Taylor is coming out on August 16th as she is set to release "Mine" the first song from her October 25th album Speak Now.
Taylor wrote all the songs for the 14 track CD and every song is about her and her life. She said, "I don't really talk about my personal life in interviews, but I definitely sing about it." (SHOCKER - NOT!!! :)
"Mine" comes from "kind of my tendency to run from love." Her romantic experiences of late have left her reluctant to commit (you're only 20 sweety, you've got lots of time), but she says she remains "blindly optimistic when it comes to love." "Mine" is about "finding someone who would make you believe in love and realize that it could work out." (The video was recently shot in Maine and there are scenes where she's wearing a wedding dress.)
Speak Now is the title of the album and when asked to explain that she said, "Saying the right thing at the right moment is so crucial that most of us start to hesitate, for fear of saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But lately what I've begun to fear more than that is letting the moment pass without saying anything. These songs are made up of words I didn't say when the moment was right in front of me. These songs are open letters. Each is written with a specific person in mind, telling them what I meant to tell them in person."
Taylor also said she's settling into her new home, that she's passionate about cooking and is into headbands right now.
She has set up a special website www.SpeakNow13.com There you can find more details and a widget that counts down to the release of "Mine."
Starting August 20th you can pre-order Speak Now.
