Official cover for the Mine single and the Summer Sonic 2010 Festival

I’ve been waiting on this news a bit, now it’s official. Here is the cover for the first single from the album Speak Now, Mine, that will be released August 16. By the way, that is also the date it will be available on iTunes as well.

The Fearless One, who I have yet to dub with a nickname referencing the new album (ideas are welcome), is not stopping doing stuff just because she’s got an album to release and is actually scheduled to participate in Summer Sonic 2010 in Japan. She will perform two nights, August 7 in Osaka and August 8 in Tokyo. The Calendar has been updated.

Unfortunately this makes me think the Sparkly Dressed (new one! like it?) might not make it to the Teen Choice Awards the very next night. I mean, yeah she had energy after 14 hours and a half of meeting and greeting, but even the Fearless One has her limits… or does she?

Correction: The Teen Choice Awards has announced the Sparkly Dressed is scheduled to appear.

Coming up in August 9, are the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles. Taylor Swift is nominated for Choice Music Female Artist and Choice Music Female Country Artist. Valentine’s Day is nominated for Choice Movie Romantic Comedy. Please VOTE! Or the guitar comes out… and this time I will do much worse than hitting you over the head with it. I will play it. Be afraid 🙂
