Taylor Swift will release her third album, Speak Now, worldwide on Oct. 25. She announced it to her fans Tuesday through a live web chat.
It's been two years since Swift released her sophomore album Fearless. She says, "You've got to give yourself a little bit of time to live a lot of things so you can write about a lot of things."
Swift explains that the title, Speak Now, is the theme, and that "track by track, each song is a different confession to a different person."
She wrote all 14 tracks herself. The first single, Mine, will be released Aug. 16. Swift also plans to launch a world tour following the release.
Fearless was the top-selling album of 2009 and earned Swift every major award, including four Grammys.
