Taylor Swift's 'Mine' leaked on the internet
twelve days early, so the singer simply decided to release the track on
the spot. LISTEN TO SINGLE below.
When faced with an Internet leak, Taylor Swift just goes with the flow.
According to Reuters, an MP3 leak forced the Grammy-winning songbird to move up the release of her newest single, "Mine," by about twelve days.
The 20-year-old pop star's record label, Big Machine Records,
released a statement explaining that the MP3 was of subpar quality, and
they'd decided to let fans hear the song in all its glory on iTunes and country radio.
The
song was officially dropped hours after the bootleg surfaced online,
says the site, and "Mine" promptly rocketed to the top spot on iTunes.
"I landed in Japan and got 20 texts and looked at iTunes and got tears in my eyes," Swift tweeted on Thursday. "And so, we begin again :)"
While
"Mine" sounds a lot like Swfit's previous lovey-dovey chart-toppers,
the song's origins are grounded more in failed relationships than
storybook ones.
"I think I've developed this pattern of running away when it comes time to fall in love and stay in a relationship," Swift told MTV.com
last month. "The song is sort of about finding the exception to that
and finding someone who would make you believe in love and realize that
it could work out, because I'm never ever going to go past hoping that
love works out."
On the sing-along chorus that's sure to light up
high school proms nationwide, Swift croons, "you made a rebel of a
careless man's careful daughter/you are the best thing that's ever been
mine."
The track is the first single off of "Speak Now," Swift's follow-up to her Grammy-festooned "Fearless." That record beat out Dave Matthews Band and the Black Eyed Peas for the Album of the Year Grammy earlier this year.
According to MTV, Swift reportedly taped a performance of "Mine" for the "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock" music special, scheduled to air September 1st on ABC.
