<h3>Taylor Swift announces new album Speak Now!</h3>
<p>In her live chat today, country superstar <strong><a title="Taylor Swift" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSTSwift/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Ftaylor-swift-tickets%2F">Taylor Swift</a> </strong>announced news her fans have been waiting 2 years for. Taylor will be releasing a new album, titled &#8220;Speak Now&#8221;this coming October 25th, 2010 worldwide. The album will feature 14 songs, and is a concept piece that centers around the idea that you should tell people how you feel when you have the chance.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;That pertains to the album as a concept, and an entire theme of the record, more than I can even tell you. I&#8217;ve been working on it for two years ever since we came out with Fearless I&#8217;ve been working on this album and what I want to put in it and how I want it to be.</p>
<p>For me I write a lot about what I live so you have to give yourself a little time to live a little so you have something to write about</p>
<p>A lot of things I wanted to say in the moment and in life you have a lot of situations and people that pop up and come at you in life and a lot of times you don&#8217;t get to tell them what you want in person.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Taylor will also begin touring in the late fall and early spring to support the album. She even made mention of touring internationally.</p>
<p>We can expect to hear the first single off the album in mid-August. The lead single &#8220;Mine&#8221; was recently shot in Portland Maine, which Taylor absolutely loved.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Mine&#8221; is a song that is about kind of my tendency to run from love.. I think it&#8217;s because for me, every direct real example of love for me has ended in goodbye and breakups&#8230; this song is sort of about finding the exception to that and finding someone who can make you believe in love&#8230; I&#8217;m never going to go past believing that love can work out.</p>
<p>We shot the video for &#8220;Mine&#8221; in Maine so you may have seen pictures of that online&#8230; When I am old and have silver hair&#8230; I want to live in Maine and have a house and make necklaces and have a lot of cats&#8221;</p></blockquote>
