Taylor Swift4

Ringing in another five months of on the field action, Taylor Swift helped kick off the 2010 NFL season in New Orleans on Thursday.

The country cutie treated the crowd to a few tunes including her new hit "Mine" while playing at a French Quarter pre-game show with Dave Matthews Band.

The stage efforts preceded the first game of the year – as the defending Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints took on the Brett Favre led Minnesota Vikings.

Meanwhile, Miss Swift’s performance comes as she gears up to release her third studio album, "Speak Now," on October 25.
