Taylor Swift Third Album Set To Be Released Later This Year
Quote:
Swift intentionally kept a low profile from mid-December until the Grammys. During that time, she stayed off the red carpet and in the recording studio, cutting an album's worth of material.
The first single from Swift's third album will go to radio in late summer or early fall, and the album will follow late in the year. "She was on an amazing writing spree through December and January, and we were able to go in and cut all those things," Borchetta says. "If she writes something great between now and July, it will go on the record. She's been extraordinarily prolific the last six months."
Swift's fans seem to have an insatiable appetite for her music right now. Two weeks ago, a new track, Today Was a Fairytale, sold 325,000 copies, the best download debut for any female act ever. The song appears on the soundtrack for the Feb. 12 film Valentine's Day, in which Swift has a small role.
Swift's sold-out North American tour begins March 4 in Tampa and runs into June.
Though Team Taylor is trying to limit her national appearances, Borchetta says, "as much as you try to pull back, there are some things you can't stop. We can't stop Us Weekly from snapping a picture of her and putting it on the cover."
Ultimately, losing song of the year to Beyoncé and record of the year to Kings of Leon at the Grammys might have been one of the best things that could have happened to Swift.
"I think she benefited from not having a sweep," says Los Angeles-based music journalist Chris Willman, who covered the Grammys for Yahoo! Music. "The media backlash would have been considerable. It's tough to rule from the perch of that kind of coronation."

No more love stories please. I think we all know in full detail her love life since she was fifteen from her past two albums. She surely must of run out of love song topics. I would love to here something with a little more lyrical depth.

^ Great accomplishments for Brit, but when people remember 2009 in music, they're going to remember Beyoncé, Lady GaGa, and Taylor Swift. They really defined the year. Britney is probably more in people's minds from 2008 with Womanizer and Circus.

She was just successful, but her success in 2009 was nothing compared to the success the ladies I mentioned had. These three owned Brit in almost everything: albums, singles, performances, awards. The only thing she has is her boring tour which is big because of the huge amount of fans she collected during the days she was relevant.

This is good news for me! I don't like Taylor Swift that much, but that means that I will have a for sure Christmas present for my little sister! I think that she has a pattern going where she is able to capitalize on the holiday season (especially with her Sounds of the Season set that was priced at only 6.99 or something!). If there is ANY artist that can break 1 million in sales in a week, she can definitely do it with the large fanbase that she has.
