From EW interview:
The title track, indeed, is about “the moment in a wedding where you speak now or forever hold your peace.
+
The last two years of your life have been so nuts. Is there a song that reflects the business and change of your last two years?There is, actually. The last song on the album is about looking back on the last two years and how I feel when I do that.
Expectations for that one^
The reporter actually goes into 'critical' mode as well and asks whether Mine is just a Fearless rehash: http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/08/27/taylor-swift-speak-now-new-album/

Oh wait, it's just a video premiere. Meh...
it's a half-hour live video premiere. when your friday night prospects are yo gabba gabba or half of monsters inc. for the 6th time this week, that's exciting enough.

Watched this video on my local mtv site, and it's a de-countrified version! Ridiculous, considering how mild the country touches are on the original.

Video's pretty good, I think:

Video's on the front page of her website. Doesn't seem attached to any "de-countrified" mix either.

Oh shit I totally didn't know they shot videos for "Fearless" and "White Horse." Rest of night: planned.

Actually I think I could seriously watch the "White Horse" video for hours because I am killed by the moments when Taylor stops lip-syncing. The song alone already sailed me into nervous-breakdown-territory.

Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson handed out his opinion on country starlet Taylor Swift recently, branding the blond "horrible."
"I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible," Robinson told Nylon Guys, according to Contact Music.
It seems that Kate Hudson's ex-husband takes issue with the production style employed by Swift and her popular counterparts.
"They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord ...... into the computer and it all comes out the same ... when you have computers doing it all for you ... there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality (sic)," he argues.
Does Robinson make a point, or is he simply staking Swift? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.

"Mine" is what I'd like to start calling Vintage Taylor.
And it's fantastic.

"Mine" is dope -- looking forward to the record
― markers, Friday, 3 September 2010 14:44 (thirteen years ago) link
as of now, I don't think it's as good as "You Belong With Me," "Change," and probably some other songs on her previous record, though

i would just like to note that laura marling is younger than taylor swift.
― christopher dullan (Tape Store), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:03 (thirteen years ago) link
laura marling writes better lyrics and better songs. <3 <3 <3
― christopher dullan (Tape Store), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:04 (thirteen years ago) link
this kinda thing always goes really well
― banaka socka flame (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:15 (thirteen years ago) link
my main point is that taylor swift's lyrics are good for a 14-yo, but now that she's 21 she should consider reading a book
― christopher dullan (Tape Store), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:18 (thirteen years ago) link
or 20, whatever
idk man i think "mine" is pretty obviously a song written by a much more mature person
― banaka socka flame (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Flash forward, and we're takin' on the world togetherAnd there's a drawer of my things at your placeYou learn my secrets and figure out why I'm guardedYou say we'll never make my parents' mistakes
But we got bills to payWe got nothin' figured outWhen it was hard to takeYes, yes
This is what I thought about:
^^ this is a great lead in to a chorus about remembering meeting someone imo
― banaka socka flame (J0rdan S.), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:25 (thirteen years ago) link
the structure isn't awkward, but it's a song about two really boring, poorly-sketched characters. there's really nothing remarkable about any of the lyrics.
― christopher dullan (Tape Store), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:34 (thirteen years ago) link
i guess if i cared that much about well-sketched characters i would read books

'made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter' packs a lot into it, imo
― subtle like the g in 'goole' (dayo), Monday, 13 September 2010 07:41 (thirteen years ago) link
I do agree that 'mine' is a retread, structurally, of the narrative tropes she was using on Fearless and maybe the s/t
like putting the chorus into the boy's mouth - pretty sure she's done that at least once or twice before?
