The video will then be presented on CMT.com, MTV.com and VH1.com in an online premiere at 8:30 PM EST before debuting on MTV's Friday line-up at 9 PM EST. The clip, expected to reach more than 160 countries, was co-directed by Swift and Roman White.

 

"Mine" debuted on last week's Hot 100 in the No. 3 slot, making Swift the second female artist in the history of the chart to debut multiple tracks in the top five during a calendar year, along with Mariah Carey.
