Hey twist fans!

Yesterday, Twist told you Taylor was hosting a webchat. If you missed the chat--no worries! We're here to give you all the info--Taylor's third studio album, titled "Speak Now", will be coming out on October 25th! The first single off the album is called "Mine", and it's coming out in less than a month on August 16th!

Taylor wrote every song on this album by herself, and she says, "track by track, each song is a different confession to a different person". Sounds like it's going to be a very personal album! The single "Mine" is about her "tendency to run from love". While you wait for the album, make sure you check out her new website www.SpeakNow13.com , where you can re-watch the chat!

Are you stoked to hear the songs that Taylor wrote? Do you like it when artists write about things that are very personal to them?

XOXO
