Are you excited for Taylor Swift's new album, "Speak Now"? I am. And not (just) because the record is sure to be packed with poppy, endlessly-loopable jams. (Although of course it is.) The album is also supposed to be "the most savage of her career, and also the most musically diverse," as well as "possibly her best," according to a recent feature on the young singer in the New York Times. To add to the already-long list of potentially appealing things about this record is "Dear John" -- a song that seems to reference John Mayer, with whom Swift performed earlier this year and who the tabloids reported she was dating. (Swift has remained mum on the subject.) Whoever this "John" is, however, he is clearly bad news: "You'll add my name to the long list of traitors/Who don't understand/And I'll look back and regret how I ignored when they said/'Run as fast as you can!'" Swift sings in the song. "The girl in the dress/Cried the whole way home."
Ouch. I can't wait to hear the actual song.
What do you think? Will you buy Swift's new album?
