LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) – Fans of country singer Taylor Swift looking for new clues on the subject of her hit song, “We Are Never Getting Back Together,” may want to watch the video premiering this week on MTV and sister TV network CMT, the television channel said yesterday.
The video, in which the 22-year-old gets personal about her dating life, will debut on “MTV First: Taylor Swift” on MTV Thursday at 7:49 p.m. EDT and on country music sister channel, CMT. MTV News will air a 30-second “sneak peek” on Tuesday.
Swift will also perform the song live on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 6, the network said.
The song, the first single from the country star’s upcoming album “Red,” has already become a hit. Last week, it broke the Billboard chart record as the most downloaded song by a female artist in its first week, selling 623,000 copies.
It also has spurred a guessing game among fans about which ex-boyfriend Swift is singing about in lyrics such as:
“I’m really gonna miss you picking fights/And me, falling for it screaming that I’m right/And you, would hide away and find your peace of mind/With some indie record that’s much cooler than mine.”
