"The little kids on set were my favorite part about shooting this video, because there was such child-like energy about the whole shoot," Taylor tells The Boot. "There was always some little kid laughing in the background or screaming and chasing each other around. I nicknamed them 'The Littles.'"
Some of 'The Littles' were handpicked by Taylor to be in the video. Professional wrestler Jeff Jarrett's daughter Jaclyn plays the young Taylor, who is tormented by her parents' arguing. Jeff's other daughters, Jeryn and Joslyn, also appear in the clip. Taylor has reportedly grown close to Jarrett's kids after meeting them back in 2007, when their mom was battling breast cancer. She treated the wrestler's little girls to not only their first taste at country stardom but also a vacation!
"You see a few different kids in the video, but what you don't realize is that every single one of them has really big families," Taylor explains. "So I flew all of their families to Maine, so that they could have everyone there like they were on vacation. So, there were so many more kids running around than you saw on screen ... probably 20 kids under the age of 10."
The 'Mine' video was shot in Kennebunk and Kennebunkport, Maine, earlier this summer. Not long after Taylor and her video crew arrived, word spread like wildfire across the tiny town that she was there. Fans gathered at the scene of the wedding, Christ Church in Kennebunk, to get a glimpse of their favorite singer.
"It was really cool having the town all come together and all be buzzing about the video," says Taylor, who happily posed for pictures and signed autographs. "People showed up to where we were filming wearing my tour T-shirts. It's a small town, and they really showed us a lot of love. It was wonderful."

This is BAD! Same stuff as pervious songs, she is not country!

I like the song and I love the video. At the end of the video it seems like she imagined the whole thing, because they are back at the dinner where the two met. IDK...but I really do like the video. Good job Taylor. It doesn't say in the article, but she acctually co-directed the video with Roman White.

I suspect she "runs from love" the minute he starts acting as if he owns her. She obviously wants love without someone directing her every move. When a woman gets married, he thinks she becomes Mrs. Him. When men can learn that a woman is a human being with human rights, there may actually, someday, be love between them but right now she is just a trophy.

She can't sin so why not try acting for ahile....until that fails, too.

What I meant to say is she can't SING.

Her terrible singing and soon to fail acting earn her more money per minute than most of you clowns in a lifetime. Stop being such jealous windbags. Go accomplish something for a change and stop trying to discredit those who have. Losers. :)

Honey, I can match Taylor Swift's paychecks any day, and it doesn't stop me from realizing the kid can't sing. All that wimpy, throat-gurgling crap she releases might play well to the angst-ridden teeny-bopper crowd, but when it comes to meaningful music backed with decent singing Swift can't cut the muster. She's trying the acting gig now because of all the recent feedback panning her poor singing. She can have all the money she wants; She still can't sing, an in three years she'll be jst a memory.

I STILL say she's a better actress than she is a singer. It doesn't matter how much money your parents spend to buy a record contract--it doesn't make you a singer, rather a good singer. And don't say anything to me about her 'awards', ANYBODY can get an award. There is so much UNtalent out there making millions, because people in this country are tone-deaf...I hope she does NOT win at the CMA awards...I hope either Carrie Underwood, or Miranda Lambert does...both GREAT musicians...
