Taylor Swift confirms new single details

Taylor Swift has confirmed the title of the lead single from her new album Speak Now.

During a uStream chat with fans, Swift confirmed that the album would be released on October 25.

Trailing that will be the single 'Mine', which the 20-year-old described as being about her "tendancy to run from love".

"It's been sort of a recent tendency," she revealed. "I think it's because that, for me, every really direct example of love that I've had in front of me has ended in goodbye, has ended in breakups.

"I think I've developed this pattern of sort of running away when it comes time to fall in love and to stay in a relationship. The song is sort of about finding the exception to that and finding someone who would make you believe in love and realise that it could work out.

"I'm never, ever going to go past hoping that love can work out. I'm always going to be very hopeful and blindly optimistic when it comes to love."

Speaking about the video, Swift added: "We shot the video in Portland, Maine, which was the most beautiful place I've ever been. It was gorgeous. I absolutely fell in love with it. I went there and got to spend two or three days just falling in love with it.

"When I am old and I have silver hair. I want to live in Maine. I want to have a house and make necklaces or something, and have a lot of cats. It's a whole fantasy for me."

Swift will release 'Mine' in the US on August 16.
