Taylor Swift won’t let piracy get her music career down. After a rough version of her latest single, “Mine,” was leaked online, the country songstress decided to move up the release date of the song by a full 12 days. She released the official version just hours after the bootleg version hit the web, and it quickly shot up to no. 1 on iTunes. "I landed in Japan and got 20 texts and looked at iTunes and got tears in my eyes," Swift wrote to her fans on Twitter, with an accompanying screen grab of the iTunes charts. "And so, we begin again :)"
