iTunes 10 was released today – and along with it came artist profiles. I went to Taylor’s profile and found a bunch of new pictures! Two of the pictures are in the studio, recording for Speak Now. I’m so excited for the album I can hardly stand it. Take a look in the gallery!

The CMA Music Festival aired on ABC last night – which means we got to see the first live performance of “Mine”! Taylor absolutely KILLED this performance, she sounds amazing! It’s also great to see her wearing her classic sundress and cowboy boots again! Check out the video below.

Taylor’s Mix Me In2 app for iPhones has been nominated for the Best Music Engagement App by Billboard. The winner will be decided on October 5. If you haven’t already bought the app, be sure to do so – it’s a lot of fun! You can go to TaylorMix.com to find out how to buy it. Taylor’s official website uploaded a video of Taylor and Grant playing with the app today. Check it out below!

The nominations for the 44th Annual CMA Awards were announced today and Taylor was nominated for Top Female Vocalist. I would normally be disappointed by only one nomination – but she won everything she was up for last year, and she’s still the reigning Entertainer of the Year – so we can’t be too upset! She wasn’t even eligible to be nominated for very many since she won last year. I’m sure after Speak Now comes out, she’ll sweep the awards again in 2011! Congratulations to Taylor for her nomination and to all of the other nominees as well!

Female Vocalist
Miranda Lambert
Martina McBride
Reba McEntire
Taylor Swift
Carrie Underwood

And don’t forget to tune in to ABC tonight at 8/7C. They’ll be showing the CMA Festival – including the first live performance of “Mine”!

Taylor’s promotional schedule for the next few months is out – and I’m so excited for the Speak Now era to finally begin. It looks as if she’ll be on the cover of a few magazines and be on a lot of TV shows and specials. Even more might be added because I remember when Fearless came out, she was on a different TV show every night! Check it out below and mark your calendars!

I added over 200 screencaps from the Mine music video! They aren’t very big, but they’re nice quality. Hopefully I’ll find a better video to cap from soon, but until then, these will do! I can’t stop watching this video – it’s so beautifully done. Check out the caps in the gallery!

I’ve added some pictures to the gallery of Taylor in Maine, premiering the new music video! She looks so pretty, as usual. It looks as if former President George Bush even showed up! Be sure to check them out!
