KENNEBUNKPORT, Maine — The wait is over for Taylor Swift fans.
On Friday, the 20-year-old county star premiered her "Mine" music video during a half-hour television special broadcast from Maine on CMT. For the debut, Swift returned to Kennebunkport, where she shot the video last month.
"It's so important that we premiere it live from the place this video was shot," she told the crowd, which included former President George H.W. Bush, who brought his grandchildren to see Swift. "I'm so excited you guys are here to see it."
Also on hand for the premiere was British actor Toby Hemingway, who plays Swift's husband in the romantic video (the pair are rumored to be dating).
"Mine" is the first single from Swift's upcoming album, Speak Now, which drops Oct. 25. The singer told CMT the track is close to her heart.
"For me, I am so obsessed with love and fascinated by it, but I'm also kind of confused by it, too," explained Swift. "I have this habit of sort of running away from it. This song is about the idea that if you met the right person – and you've met that person that was worth working through and fighting for – that you could make it actually work out."
She added, "It was such a fun video to shoot because I think that it shows this story about this relationship – from when they meet and all these happy, beautiful times you look back on and remember. But relationships aren't perfect, and there are things that happen that you have to fight through and get through. I think the huge argument scene is one of my favorite parts of the video because it's about actually working through your problems."
