Swift’s “Fearless” Follow-Up Coming Oct. 25

Taylor Swift’s third studio album Speak Now will be released Oct. 25 via Big Machine. Fans will get the first taste of the project when lead single “Mine” debuts on August 16. The superstar revealed these details and more during a live web chat this afternoon (7/20).

Known for writing or co-writing her own material, Swift said she spent about two years writing for the new project, basically since the release of Fearless. The title, she said, “pertains to the album as a concept, and as an entire theme of the record, more than I can even tell you.”

“Thankfully, in the past two years I’ve experienced a lot of things that I’ve been dying to write about,” she explained. “A lot of things that I’ve wanted to say in the moment that I didn’t… Track by track, each song is a different confession to a different person.”

Starting on August 20th, Speak Now will be available for special pre-sale on the site www.SpeakNow13.com.

Swift reunited with longtime producer Nathan Chapman for the album.
