Swift Rushes Single Release After Online Leak

  • 05 August 2010

Taylor Swift has been forced to rush the release of her new single after the track leaked online.
The country star was due to release Mine, the first song from her upcoming third album Speak Now, later this month (16Aug10), but an unauthorised version of the tune emerged on the internet this week (beg02Aug10).
Executives at the singer's Big MAChine Records label have moved swiftly to counteract the leak - moving the track's release date forward by 12 days and handing it to radio stations early.
A statement from the label claimed the leaked copy was "low quality" and insisted fans should hear the record in its proper form.
Speak Now is due in stores on 25 October (10).
