I'm really liking Speak Now, but I agree, far from her best song tbh. I'm sure there's plenty of songs on the album that would've made a better single choice. Well, it's number 1 anyway on US iTunes, so she's doing something right!

Oh, she's actually doing what Katy Perry did and is releasing a track each week until the album release. So next week we are getting 'Back To December', and the week after we are getting 'Mean'. Something to look forward to until the actual album, and I guess it builds more hype :D

I'm getting the Deluxe Edition for my birthday on the 29th, I hope I can wait that long!

Please tell me this isn't the second single, it's like "Love Story" and "You Belong With Me" were the same song. ;\

I cannot wait to see her album. I really like Taylor Swift and my classmates in my music school singing her songs.

I like the sound of 'Back To December'.

Maybe it's because 'Remember December' and 'Permanent December' are highlights of Lovato & Cyrus' latest albums :kink:.

 

Hope it compares.

"Back To December" is now on iTunes US. Have to wait until after school before I can listen, but it seems like it's just under 5mins long - the more Taylor the better :D

Very nice. I nod in approval.

Has a similar sound to 'What If' by Winslet at parts.

Another beautiful song. :)

 

Just a funny thing to point out, first there was 'Remember December' by Demi Lovato, then 'Permanent December' by Miley Cyrus and now 'Back To December'. :P

Maybe it'll take a couple of hours to grow, like 'Speak Now' did, and I do like it, but so far it's the worst of the three singles from this album.

Back To December is really good, actually one of the songs that are amazing, that you keep on playing over and over :heart:

TAYLOR SWIFT has today announced that she'll play the O2 on 30 March 2011 as part of a world tour to support her new album.

 

The O2 show is one of only three nights the pop-country starlet has set aside for the UK, the others being Birmingham's LG Arena on 22 March and the MEN in Manchester a week later on 29 March.

 

It's a busy week coming up for the Love Story singer. Tickets for the gigs go on sale this coming Friday, 22 October, while Swift's new album, Speak Now, is released next Monday, 25 October.

 

"I'm so excited to go back out on tour again in 2011!" said Swift.

 

"I can't wait to get back out and play my new music from Speak Now."

22 March - Birmingham LG

29 March - Manchester MEN

30 March - London O2

 

You can also get access to tickets a day early if you pre-order the album through play.com

"Mean" is really good! :)

I wish she was playing closer to me. Birmingham is probably my nearest, but with it being a school night, just over a week before Katy Perry, and no one else in my family are really fans of Taylor, I doubt I'll be able to go :(

 

All the YouTube videos of 'Mean' in full are being taken down, but I have a download link if anyone wants it.

These 'pre-album release' singles sound good ('Speak Now', 'Back To December' and 'Mean'). Still looking forward to the album. :)

'Mean' is great! :D Almost as good as 'Mine' (I see a theme occuring; 4 letters, beginning with M!) :D 'Back to December' and 'Speak Now' are very weak, so I'm not sure what I'll think of the album. ;o

Mine is actually the weakest of the four for me, not surprised it's not doing an awful lot in the charts...

The album is supposed to be released tomorrow in Ireland, so we should hear it in full then :D

^ Yus, Paul O Grady tomorrow :)

 

Should give the song a slight boost.

My album as despatched today... hope it gets here on Saturday.

Impressed yet pissed off at the same time the album hasn't leaked yet!
