TAYLOR SWIFT: "THE STORY OF US" MUSIC VIDEO

Take a look at Taylor Swift’s brand new music video for “The Story of Us.”

The video premiered last night on MTV.com, where she also sat down for a special interview. Taylor kicks off the US leg of her Speak Now tour on Friday and told MTV a little of what fans can expect.

“We get to have such groovy, cool stuff happening,” she said. “I’ve never had pyro before. I’ve never had aerialists before. It’s got this grand staircase. The stage in itself looks like an old-world theater. I can’t believe we get to play stadiums. I’m so excited about this tour. I want to live on that stage. I hope people leave the concert feeling like they know you better.”

The 21-year-old award-winning country singer dished to MTV about the song, “Anytime I’m onstage or watching the music video, the first thing that comes into my mind is the person I wrote the song about. It’s like the first thing that you think of is the moment that inspired the song, which is that excruciating, awful moment when you run into an ex for the first time.”

T added, “[Hollywood is] just like in high school, except [the awkward moments happen] at an awards show.”

Taylor Swift's 'The Story Of Us' Video To Debut Tuesday On MTV

Taylor Swift has always had fun in her music videos. Whether she's a geeky schoolgirl-turned-glamour queen in her VMA-winning video for "You Belong With Me" or a forlorn lover in a snow-covered farmhouse in her "Back to December" clip, Swift has always tried to show off different sides of herself.

Now she's teaming up with MTV News for "MTV First: Taylor Swift," where she'll not only have an exclusive sit-down with our very own Sway, but also premiere the video for her Speak Now single "The Story of Us."

It all kicks off on Tuesday, May 24, at 7:53 p.m. ET on MTV and MTV.com. Fans can tune in to see Swift introduce the video's official premiere and speak with Sway live on-air. Sway and Taylor will then continue their chat for a 30-minute live stream on MTV.com. The singer will answer a few questions from fans too. Beginning on Friday (May 20), you can submit your pressing queries on MTV.com or via Twitter using @MTVNews (hashtag #AskTaylor).

This Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET, the music video will debut online on MTV.com, VH1.com and MTV's International Sites in 150+ territories, followed by a premiere on TeenNick at 10:56 p.m. ET. For those who can't wait for the video premiere, a 30-second sneak peek of "The Story of Us" will air during VH1's "Big Morning Buzz Live" on Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. ET/PT. The full video will also appear on "VH1 Top 20 Video Countdown" on Saturday, May 28, at 9 a.m. ET/PT.

"The Story of Us" is the fourth single from Swift's chart-topping album. It follows "Mine," "Back to December" and her country-tinged track "Mean." As for this song, well, she explains that it was inspired by one awkward awards show encounter.

"That actually happened during what ended up inspiring the last song I wrote for this record called 'Story of Us,' "Swift explained to MTV News last year about the song. "And I was at an awards show, and there was a guy there, obviously — it all starts there, doesn't it? It was a guy I had been in a relationship with, falling out, then we end up at the same awards show," she continued. "Both trying to act like we don't care ... both like, you know, chatting up the people next to us."

After the incident, she knew there was enough emotion there to write a song. "Afterward, I just felt so empty, like we were both fighting this silent war of pretending we didn't care that the other was there," she said. "And I went home, and I wrote this song about it. And at that point, I had this gut feeling, and I knew the album was finished."

Audio Stream of Taylor Swift's 'Story of Us' and 'Better Than Revenge' Surface

A few days before the album release of Taylor Swift's "Speak Now", more new songs from the October 25 hit the web. At least four tracks, "Story of Us", "Better Than Revenge", "Last Kiss" and "Long Live", are already up for listening pleasure.

"Story of Us" is scheduled to be made available for download on October 23 as part of iTunes countdown. In an interview to preview the song, Swift said it's about a former couple who ends up being awkward to each other. The guy she is talking about in this song reportedly is Taylor Lautner.

"I was at an awards show, and there was a guy there, obviously - it all starts there, doesn't it?" she told MTV without giving any name. "It was a guy I had been in a relationship with, falling out, then we end up at the same awards show. Both trying to act like we don't care ... both like, you know, chatting up the people next to us."

"Afterward, I just felt so empty, like we were both fighting this silent war of pretending we didn't care that the other was there," she continued. "And I went home, and I wrote this song about it. And at that point, I had this gut feeling, and I knew the album was finished."

Another song "Better Than Revenge" takes a jab to a woman who "stole" Swift's boyfriend, mentioning that "she's an actress" with "better known for the things she does on the mattress." Rumor has it, the song is about Camilla Belle who was romantically linked to Joe Jonas soon after Swift broke up with him.

Taylor Swift's 'Story Of Us' Inspired By Awards-Show Awkwardness

On Friday, Taylor Swift gave fans a taste of the Speak Now track "Story of Us." She explained to MTV News that the song is about the awkward moments two people go through after their love affair has ended.

Swift was inspired to write the song when she had one of those moments with a former beau at an awards show — though she kept the details of the event (and the ex) under wraps.

"That actually happened during what ended up inspiring the last song I wrote for this record called 'Story of Us,' " she said about the last time she found it hard to, well, speak now. "And I was at an awards show, and there was a guy there, obviously — it all starts there, doesn't it?"

For Swift, many times, it does start there. Much of her album is about the boys in her life who have caused her pain or vice versa. This tune is no different. "It was a guy I had been in a relationship with, falling out, then we end up at the same awards show," she recalled. "Both trying to act like we don't care ... both like, you know, chatting up the people next to us."

It was after the incident that she knew there was enough there to write a song. "Afterward, I just felt so empty, like we were both fighting this silent war of pretending we didn't care that the other was there," she said. "And I went home, and I wrote this song about it. And at that point, I had this gut feeling, and I knew the album was finished."
