Singer Taylor Swift will celebrate Christmas early this year. Recently, she found out that, in December, she will receive an award from the Nashville Symphony during a grand ball.
The beautiful singer will receive the Harmony Award at the annual ball held by Nashville Symphony, which will take place at Schermerhorn Symphony Center on 10th of December, informs contactmusic.com.
The award is given to an artist or a band that best represents the ‘harmony’ of Nashville city, known as the Music City.
“We are proud to be called Music City, and Taylor Swift is the perfect person for this award, because she helped tremendously to promote this amazing community we belong to, all of us” said Alan Valentine, president and CEO of the Nashville Symphony.
Among the artists who have received this award in the past, the Harmony Award, are included: Dolly Parton, Martina McBride, Rascal Flatts and Carrie Underwood.
It seems that whoever is going to see Taylor Swift on her new tour is in for quite the show… as were the ones who attended her recent concert which featured a great number of theatrics that aren’t normally seen in concerts. When asked to describe her new tour, this is what Taylor Swift said: “The tour is exactly how my imagination looks and I’m so excited that we get to have these entire scenes created on stage.” Well it seems that Taylor Swift’s imagination surely is an amazing place. If it hasn’t already, this is bound to get the ticket sales for her next shows up a bit… and with good reason.
It looks like the country singer is very partial to surprises, especially when they occur in her love life. This is what Taylor Swift had to say about how much she likes such occurrences: "There are no rules when it comes to love. I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you’re going to fall in love with. You never know who’s going to come into your life – and for me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like. I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them." It’s nice to see that Taylor Swift still has such a positive attitude towards surprises in love… especially considering that all of her surprises thus far seem to have been rather unpleasant ones.
Following a banjo-picking performance of her hit single “Mean†at the ACMs, Taylor Swift kept strumming along to offer a great form of flattery to British indie rock band Mumford & Sons. The 21-year old pop/country singer laid down a beautiful rendition of the band’s song “White Blank Page†for BBC. Mumford & Sons’ popularity is on a steady rise and I have no doubt that Taylor’s cover of their song will give them even more of a push. Whether you’re a fan of hers or not, you can’t deny that she did the song more than just a little bit of justice.

It looks like Nicki Minaj may have some competition when it comes to being a female rapper. During a visit to Nashville’s 107.5 radio last week, Taylor Swift showed off some rap skills when she rapped a few lyrics from Nicki’s “Super Bassâ€. The country singer was asked to choose any song she wanted and the radio show’s DJ would play it right away. In a surprising move, Taylor selected Nicki’s song and rapped a few of the lines for kicks. I know it’s impossible for Taylor to release an album outside the country and pop genre but if she wants to have a bit of fun, I wouldn’t rule out rapping.

Miley Cyrus was originally set to perform the Poison hit “Every Rose has Its Thorn” at the 2010 American Music Awards held at the Nokia Theatre LA Live in Los Angeles this past Sunday. However, the Disney singer/actress made a last minute switch and performed her song “Love and Forgiveness” off of her album “Can’t Be Tamed” instead. I wonder if it’s because of the reports that her parents are actually going through a divorce because her mom allegedly had an affair with Poison rock star Bret Michaels. It’s a big possibility. In any case, Miley did well on her performance. I’m glad to see that she managed to keep herself together through these tough times.

While talking about her upcoming album ‘Speak Now’, Taylor Swift revealed that she will never stop taking material from her life and putting them into music. The country singer said “It sort of is what it is. I’ve had this formula for a long time that I’ve kind of applied to my music. If I continue to write music about my life and my life is always changing, then my music is always changing. And if I change that whole process of writing music, that entire process of writing songs in my bedroom about what I’m going through at that moment — because the only way I know how to understand pain or move past it is to write songs about it — if I change that, I’m really more changing a part of who I am. And I don’t really want to start doing that… It’s understandable [having reservations about dating her], but … I’ve never kept quiet the fact that I write songs about people. It’s like, this is album number three. You guys have had fair warning!”

Taylor Swift has revealed that she has put a lot of her own life into the songs on her upcoming album ‘Speak Now’. In a new interview with Glamour magazine, the country singer reveals “Everything that happens to me gets put into a song. For some reason, I’m really comfortable talking about my personal life in songs. There, I don’t hold back: names, dates, times, expressions on people’s faces, exactly where we were and how it felt, what I wish I would have said to them in the moment.” This album could very well be known as the official Taylor Swift autobiography.

Clearly there is nothing more that can stand in her way. This week is Lady GaGa’s one-hundredth on the Billboard 200. That means that Lady GaGa is about two months away from being present for two years in a top. Truly there are few pop princesses that can actually boast such performances. Lady GaGa’s career seems to be heading the right way and she might just have a shot at getting over the “one hit wonder” mark forever. Taylor Swift is the one who’s record she has to beat though and that will require another 24 weeks at least. But it doesn’t look like Lady GaGa is going anywhere either way.
Taylor Swift’s new single “Mine” has leaked on the Internet Today. a New song Mine is Taylor’s first single from her new album called “Speak Now”

Taylor Swift has managed to win multiple trophies from just about every music awards show I can think of and I’m beginning to think that the country singer can win just about anything. That was recently proven when the International Bowling Museum just inducted Taylor into the Hall of Fame. Steven Johnson, executive director of the BPAA, explains “In many ways, Taylor Swift perfectly represents the current face of bowling, especially as the sport enjoys unprecedented growth in popularity among youth, women and young adults.” The best part is that her honor was voted upon through an online poll, with 1.3 million votes for Taylor, followed closely behind by Justin Bieber.

Taylor Swift rocked out a couple of her hits after signing autographs for over half a day of a meet and greet this past Sunday as part of the CMA Music Festival in Nashville, Tennessee. The 20-year old country singer actually went over the announced 13-hour signing time as Taylor was with fans for 14 and a half hours! She later went on her Twitter posting a picture of her arm and saying “They brought me these bracelets and wrote on my arm as the hours passed. 14.5 hour signing. Today was love.” 10,000 fans showed up and she met with almost 2000 of them!
Kanye West is set to take the stage at the BET Awards on June 27. That would mark the rapper’s first awards show performance since interrupting Taylor Swift at the 2009 MTV VMAs. Kanye is nominated for two BET awards including Video of the Year for ‘Run This Town’ with Jay-Z and Rihanna. On Tuesday, he performed at 3 different high schools in the Chicago area as part of the Kanye West Foundation’s annual ‘Stay in School’ event. Kanye also made an appearance at a Manhattan nightclub for a listening party featuring songs from his upcoming album ‘Good Ass Job’. It’s about time he got back in the spotlight!
In a recent interview with ShowStudio.com, Lady Gaga talked about her guilty pleasure of singing a country song when it comes on the radio. And just who is the singer singing along with? Taylor Swift! The princess of pop said “I don’t want to hurt her feelings, because she’s lovely. That Taylor Swift song? You Belong with Me? Oh my God! When it comes on the radio, I sing it so loud and I’m so embarrassed! Because I so freely sing it so loud! You can’t help it! The song, it’s not a bad song. It’s a great song! I think it’s just because it’s very whimsical in a way that I’m not necessarily whimsical every day. When it comes on, I just get this… I wanna sing it! Every woman feels that way. So I didn’t mean that in a bad way, Taylor. I think you’re lovely and beautiful, and I think you’re a great songwriter.”
Taylor Swift will host a 13-hour meet and greet with her fans at the CMA Music Festival this year on June 13. The event begins at 8AM at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena and end at 9PM. The country singer will also have an acoustic performance around 2PM that afternoon. Mind you, the event is also free and open to the public. Taylor said “My favorite thing about CMA Music Fest has always been getting to spend time with the fans. So this year I wanted to figure out a way to meet as many of them as possible. Thirteen is my lucky number and the 13th is during Music Fest, so I think spending 13 hours with my fans is going to be amazing!”
Kanye West is back with a new song called ‘Power’ which features soul singer Dwele. The song is off of the rapper’s forthcoming album, tentatively called ‘Good Ass Job’. In the song, Kanye attacks Saturday Night Live for mocking him after his infamous interruption of Taylor Swift’s win during last year’s MTV VMAs. The lyrics go “F–k SNL and the whole cast, tell them Yeezy said they can kiss my whole ass / More specifically, they can kiss my a–hole / I’m an a–hole? You n—as got jokes. They say I was the abomination of Obama’s nation, well that’s a really bad way to start the conversation / At the end of the day, God Dammit, I’m killing this s–t, I know damn well they feeling this shit / I don’t need your p—y, b–ch, ’cause I’m on my own d**k.”

Katy Perry is on the cover of this month?s Nylon magazine where she talks about her new music, Russell Brand and her thoughts on her partners in pop music, including Lady Gaga, Ke$ha, Rihanna and Taylor Swift. The singer differentiates herself from other pop princesses saying ?You’ve got GaGa, who’s like, from outer space; you’ve got Ke$ha, who’s the beer-drinking, house-party girl; and then you’ve got Rihanna, who’s transforming the urban world into her own outer space. But I feel like you’re missing an Alanis Morissette, in 2010. I love how she was a voice for a lot of people who couldn’t explain their feelings. But it’s not like I’m not gonna compete. I love a good dose of healthy competition. It’s not going to be the same that they’re doing??
Taylor Swift?s latest music video for her song ?Fearless? has finally come out. The 20-year old Grammy award winning singer gave viewers a chance to see footage from both backstage and from her actually shows from all over the world. The country cutie also talked about her song saying ?When I wrote ?Fearless,? I wasn?t dating anyone. I wasn?t even in the beginning stages of dating anybody. I really was all by myself out on tour and I got this idea for a song about the best first date. I think sometimes when you?re writing love songs, you don?t write them about what you?re going through at the moment, you write about what you wish you had. So, this song is about the best first date I haven?t had yet.?

Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta recently defended Taylor Swift?s Grammy performance as it has been on the receiving end of some criticism. The music exec blamed a technical difficulty but also said ?This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It’s not about that technically perfect performance.? The original AI champ, Kelly Clarkson, isn?t going to take that comment lying down and she wrote Scott an open letter on her blog in response to his comment. The singer said ?Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better. I have been criticized left and right for having shaky performances before and what my manager or label executives say to me and the public is ?I?ll kick butt next time? or ?every performance isn?t going to be perfect??I bring this up because you should take a lesson from these people and instead of lashing out at other artists (that in your ?humble? opinion lack true artistry).?
