“I was reflecting back on a boy I liked at a certain time,” she told Rolling Stone. “The song is about what it would be like if I actually let my guard down.”
“Mine” is one of fourteen tracks that Swift penned for her third studio album, Speak Now. While she may have some downtime at the moment, 2010 is about to get really busy with the release of the new album, but Taylor says she’s ready for it.
“I’m obsessed with being busy. It’s hectic and nonstop,” she said. “But I’m so ready.”
So what did Taylor think of the online leak of “Mine?”
“[My manager] said, ‘I don’t want you to panic.’ And I said, ‘The song leaked, didn’t it?’ ” she said. “I turned on my phone and there were texts saying, ‘Congratulations.’ A leak is so out of my comfort zone, but it ended up good in the end. It made me so emotional that I started crying.”
Speak Now hits stores October 25.
