Following her 'Innocent' VMA performance, singer is gearing up for the release of her third album, Speak Now.By James Dinh

Fresh off the heels of her much-talked-about performance at the 2010 Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift is about to take the rest of the year by storm after a relatively low-key summer. The 20-year-old is gearing up for the release of her new album, Speak Now. And if "Innocent," the song she debuted at Sunday's VMAs, is any indication of her upcoming material, Swift scorners should beware: She may be singing about you.

"For me, I write everything that I live, so 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. And my only option is to write about what I've been through and what I've lived," Swift told fans of her new album. "Each song is a different confession to a different person, and I'm very excited for you to hear them."

The album may not be out until October 25, but the singer has already given fans a taste of her new music with the release of the first single, "Mine," which many have said conveys a more mature lyrical vision. The songstress chose Roman White (who also directed "You Belong With Me" and "Fifteen") to direct the clip, which depicts Swift and her lover from their first interaction through their marriage. The song, which the singer says is about "finding someone who would make you believe in love and realize that it could work out," had a bright start due to her ever-dependable fanbase.

In early August, "Mine" made history as the singer became only the second female artist in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart to debut multiple songs ("Mine" and "Today Was a Fairy Tale") in the top five within a one-year time frame.

But the songstress hasn't just been working on her album. Swift also made time this past year for some other important priorities. During the days immediately following the catastrophic Nashville floods, the country superstar helped her hometown by donating $500,000 and later performing as part of the Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery charity concert. "Being at home during the storm, I honestly could not believe what was happening to the city and the people I love so dearly," Swift wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press. "Nashville is my home and the reason why I get to do what I love. I have always been proud to be a Nashvillian, but especially now, seeing the love that runs through this city when there are people in crisis."

Despite her role in the movie "Valentine's Day," Swift told MTV News earlier this year that she's staying clear of the acting gigs for now and remains focused on her music, saying, "I'm not making movies right now. I'm making music. That's always been my number-one love."

One question many ponder is whether or not the teen sensation will be able to match the sales and critical reception of 2008's Grammy-winning album Fearless. Some have even predicted that Swift may be the one to shake up the current state of the music industry with U.S. debut week sales of 1 million units.

"It feels like if anybody can do it now, she could be the one," Will Botwin, president/CEO of Red Light Management and ATO Records told Billboard. "She has the sales base and heat from the last few albums. And with all the amazing things she has going on, she is as likely as anybody to reach a million units, especially with the efforts of Big Machine and Universal behind her."

Until then, Swift will continue her media blitz for the release of Speak Now, which hits stores October 25. The songstress is reportedly set to hit the stage the same day of her album drop for a performance on the "Today" show and will also grace the November cover of Glamour magazine.
