^ I thought they opened for her before also?
After finding out that she wrote a song with Lori McKenna, and hearing this new song, it gives me high hopes that her new album will be even better than Speak Now. I think she has matured and improved vocally and lyrically from her debut to now and I am very intrigued to hear new music next year. This is in my opinion excellent timing for this release as the grammy ballots are to be submitted by January 14th, and hopefully voters will hear this and give her a couple more statues to add to her collection.

I can't believe that Taylor just keeps getting better... All three of her albums have been tough acts to follow but it seems that she never stops topping herself

I would die if Taylor got nominated for an Oscar for this song.

I hadn't even thought of this and you just got me sooooo excited. I know it's only been out for less than a day, but from what I'm reading and hearing, this song is pretty universally acclaimed.

But she did talk about them quite a bit and get them a lot of the exposure they had, pre-Adele tour). And Taylor doing folky music is like my dream! This song is just perfect. Maybe this could be a Grammy performance?

I may be the only one who dislikes this. I don't like the vocals, or the build up. I hope her new album isn't like this. I don't think it will be, but you never know. :/
That said, it's #1 on iTunes so as long as she slays, I'm happy.

It's awesome and beautiful, though it runs a tad long with the instrumentals taking up a lot of time.
Oscar prospects probably depend a bit on reviews/box office for the film. But this category is generally not all that competitive. The committee at its discretion can choose up to 5 nominees, but had fewer than that in 2005, 2008, and 2010 recently - and the years in between each had multiple nominees from one film.
She looks to have a good first quarter. Aside from this: Ours should regain its strong country momentum after the holiday freeze is over. Enchanted is featured heavily in The Vow's trailer and hopefully will be a crossover single too. And then there's the movie she's actually in, The Lorax.

Pretty sure Oscar eligibility is December 31, 2011. Though I don't believe the song has received any nominations from other award shows thus far, and I haven't heard any buzz about it. But it could certainly happen if it's a weaker year.

Even if the period ends December 31, I feel like the song wouldn't be eligible, only because the movie isn't released until March. It is a movie awards show after all. It wouldn't make sense if the song won at the Oscars this year before the film was even released.

But it could certainly happen if it's a weaker year. There's been no buzz/nominations because it was literally just released-- pretty sure they didn't preview it for awards consideration or anything. I think it goes either by the date of the film or soundtracks release, so it wouldn't be eligible until next year.

LOVE S&S!!! I'm not a big Taylor fan. I liked LS, WH, YBWM (in that order) and then Mine and BTD were fine. However, this song shows real growth in her in terms of vocal performance and style. When I clicked the preview I was waiting another TWAF type of song, but I was haunted by the voice+production combo. I bought it and listened to it on repeat. It will probably not do much in terms of radio support, but at this moment I don't care much about it. It was time for Taylor to show something else and she made it. Good job! Oh, and I hope she gets a GREAT debut next week

Safe & Sound is insanely perfect for this book/movie.
I can see it being played with Rue, and when she is taking care of Peeta in the arena.
It gives me chills just thinking about this song with those scenes.

^^^ I agree with the above sentiments but I think you just spoiled a major part of the movie/book for those who haven't read the book yet lol.

The book's been out for two years. At what point is it no longer "spoiling" it??

Perhaps they haven't read the book and were waiting to watch the movie (like me)? A simple "Spoiler below" would suffice, especially in a thread that has nothing to do with the movie/book.
"Safe & Sound" is absolutely gorgeous. The wait for her fourth album just got even more difficult.

Just getting caught up with Taylor's latest video. "The Story of Us" and "Ours" clips are pretty great! (I love the latter.) Now time to see the Speak Now Tour DVD.....

KIIS FM has been spinning "Safe & Sound" and they posted it on twitter that they love it. I'm shocked but they love Taylor and have never stopped playing her Pop singles.

It's probably neither, the iTunes store/feed has been frozen for a few days now.
Hearing "Enchanted" during The Vow trailer in the movies this weekend just made me want it released even more. Come on Taylor!
