CLEAN-CUT ‘COUNTRY’ singer Taylor Swift’s new single – a distinctly miffed breakup song – has become the fastest-ever selling song on iTunes.

What a douchebag. Anyway, MSN reports that WANEGBT (as fans have dubbed it) shot to the iTunes number one spot just 50 minutes after its release, beating the record set by Lady GaGa’s Born This Way.
Which makes it the music portal’s fastest selling download ever. Taylor’s pretty excited:

This is how fans reacted when the singer premiered the song during a live webchat yesterday, while sitting on a strangely cheap-looking vinyl armchair. Great swaying.
