I was super resistant to "Mine" at first, since I couldn't get past how much it reminded me of "Love Story." But you know what this rate made me realize? "Mine" is everything that "Love Story" wishes it was. I kind of love it now!
The lowdown: Taylor has said this big-chorused country-pop jam is about her tendency to run from love. Serving as the lead single from Speak Now, it launched the album in a huge way. Despite receiving some criticism for its similarities to "Love Story," it reached #1 on iTunes in five hours, debuting at #3 on the Hot 100. It would go on to peak at #2 on country radio and win the 2011 CMT Music Award for Video of the Year.
The vote: We're splitting hairs at this point on the countdown, since all the remaining songs did very well. While "Mine" received seventeen 9's and 10's, that 1 (and a couple more last-minute low scores) cost it a spot in the top ten.
Best line: "I was a flight risk with a fear of falling/wondering why we bother with love if it never lasts"
That's about it for this song , Dear John deserved this place though and mine deserved DJ's place .
Alright, all you night owls who stuck me through the late updates in the first few days, check back later. Maybe we can punch one of these girls out the game tonight.

You gotta be kidding me. 'Love Story' is perfect catchy pop candy. 'Mine' just falls short in every way...except maybe lyrically its better.
or was it a 1.5?
