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.?
Carrie Underwood recently spoke to Cosmo magazine where the American Idol alum basically talked about her image then and now. The successful country singer said ?Nobody would?ve looked at me twice if it weren’t for IDOL. Back then, I was 20 pounds heavier and literally fresh off the farm.? Nobody may have looked at you yes, but just one note heard from you and I bet that everyone?s head would be spinning. I doubt that there?s anyone out there now who doesn?t know Carrie?s name or doesn?t take the time to take a second look at her. I love her!
It?s not that the piece is particularly emotional, it might be, but it apparently literally is about breaking hearts. Apparently LeAnn Rimes recently wrote a song about just that because she is upset at how she treated her former husband. The lyrics to LeAnn Rimes? new song go as follows: “What have I done? I broke the heart of the sweetest man. What have I done? I broke the heart of the only man who’s ever loved me. Who have I become? I hope you find someone new, someone who deserves you.” Very touching? but LeAnn Rimes is apparently already in a relationship with a co-star of hers. What does that poor man think about her considering her former husband to have been the one and only and admitting to treating him like crap? LeAnn Rimes isn?t really giving herself any good credentials.
As we all know, the country singer is getting married and her biggest wish was that she would have a small wedding where the bride stands out very much. However, Carrie Underwood seems to have lost all hope in her wish as she herself relates: “I started tearing out pictures and stuff. I think I want a small wedding, but I don’t think that’s going to happen.” Carrie Underwood is probably beginning doubt whether or not having a small wedding is good for the whole prospect of it all. Strange though that the family or the future husband have said nothing on the matter, not even a confirmation that Carrie Underwood will eventually do what she wants.
Taylor Swift celebrates her incredible year on the cover of People magazine?s year end issue featuring the 25 most intriguing people of 2009. In the issue which hit newsstands last Friday, the 20-year old country singer was named People?s ?Golden Girl?. She shares that even though she?s skyrocketed to stardom this year, she?s tried her best to stay grounded and not let fame change her. Taylor said ?You can stay the same person, even if everything around you changes. I would like to think everybody out there isn?t just waiting for me to trip and fall and stumble out of a club drunk. People know I?m not a party girl. I?m not hiding some dying urge to be out clubbing right now.?
Taylor Swift recently showed off a new do ? sleek, straight and with bangs. According to MTV News, the 19-year old country singer has a new fan in legendary actor Clint Eastwood. MTV recently asked what Clint music preferences were at the time and he named off some of 2009?s biggest acts. Clint said ?Taylor Swift? I kind of like her. I have [listened to her music]; I was listening to some the other day. And I think I like her. I?d be pretty embarrassed if I?m going, ?Taylor who?? Sometimes you listen to pop radio, just to see what?s going on.?
Jessica Simpson is reportedly interested in starting something up with former Smashing Pumpkins lead singer Billy Corgan after partying it up together last month. A source of the 29-year old failed country singer told OK! magazine ?She has completely fallen for Billy and his easygoing, smart attitude. She says she wants to take things a lot further.? That party a month ago wasn?t the first time that Jessica and Billy got together though. It seems that they?ve been friends for a while as Jessica once went on her Twitter this past September inviting everyone to go to Billy?s website, tweeting ?My friend, Billy Corgan, has a pure and enlightening outlook on faith. Go to his new website!?
Taylor Swift has one of the most personable and relatable attitudes in the music industry. That?s why it shouldn?t be a surprise that you?ll soon be able to find her in the greeting card aisle. The 19-year old country singer has partnered with American Greetings to create a line of greeting cards, gift packaging, stationery, online photo personalization products and online greetings. Taylor said ?My idea of a great song is a song that says how I feel better than I could. I feel the same way about greeting cards. I?ve always been fascinated by feelings and how we express them to each other. Getting to write and design these cards is a wonderful experience.? Her line of cards will be available on Spring 2010.
If you missed out on Taylor Swift?s guest hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, you pretty much missed on one of the greatest episodes of the comedy show ever. The country singer sang and played guitar to ?Monologue Song (La La La)?. She killed it! Here are some sample lyrics: ?You might think I?d bring up Joe [Jonas], that guy who broke up with me on the phone, but I?m not gonna mention him in my monologue. Hey Joe, I?m doing real well. Tonight, I?m hosting SNL but I?m not gonna brag about that in my monologue. La la la. Ha ha ha. La la la.?; And if you?re wondering if I might be dating the werewolf from Twilight. Hey Taylor [Lautner]! (blows kiss, winks) But I?m not gonna comment on that in my monologue.?; and ?You might be expecting me to say something bad about Kanye [West] and how he ran up on stage and ruined my VMA monologue. But there?s nothing more to say cuz everything?s okay. I?ve got security lining the stage. It?s my SNL monologue.?
Taylor Swift doesn?t seem to be slowing down as the country singer officially has Billboard?s longest charting album of this century with her self-titled debut album. ?Taylor Swift? was first released in October 2006 and now in its 157th week in the Top 200 albums chart beating out previous record holder Nickelback. If the cutie?s first album has done this well, I can?t wait to see how well ?Fearless? ends up doing. I can just imagine it breaking even more records. Congratulations Taylor! You are truly one amazing talent. I don?t think us music fans will ever get to see another one like you in our lifetime.
The singer fell for a prank orchestrated by Ellen Degeneres this Halloween. It seems that the comedian determined Taylor Swift to go to a fake dressing room where she was ready to pounce on the unsuspecting singer. The thing resulted in a funny little video that can be found on the internet showing Taylor Swift falling upon the bathroom floor where the scare took place. You?d think something like this would damage her popularity, but Taylor Swift probably got a few bonus points. Too bad they didn?t get Kanye West to do it? he might?ve bought himself a few extra points too.
There are rumors going around that producers at Saturday Night Live are working overtime to book a surprise cameo by Kanye West when Taylor Swift hosts the comedy show in November. Sources are saying that the plan is highly likely to take place. I think that the country singer would have a very good sense of humor about the whole VMA thing after all this time that had passed and it could prove to be a great career move for the rapper who I?m sure has had his fair share of the backlash from his douche bag actions last month.
Carrie Underwood has recently released the music video for her latest single ?Cowboy Casanova?. It?s the first single off of the country singer?s upcoming third album ?Play On? which comes out on November 3. The 26-year old American Idol champ co-wrote this song with Mike Elizondo and Brett James. It?s a great song and it?s shaping up to be a hit. In other Carrie news, she and fellow country crooner Brad Paisley will be co-hosting the 2009 CMA Awards which will be held on November 11. How do you think Carrie?s going to fare as an awards show host? Do you think she has what it takes?
Jay-Z defended his prot?g? Kanye West during a BBC Radio 1 interview last week saying that he didn?t feel it was right for Kanye to be receiving so much backlash from the VMA?s Taylor Swift debacle. The veteran rapper admits ?Of course it was rude because it was her moment, but that’s the way he really felt?I think it was rude, but the way they’re treating him ? He’s on the cover of every paper. He didn’t kill anybody. No one got harmed.? Maybe he should try watching the video and take a closer look at the country singer?s face and really ask himself if no one was harmed.
Taylor Swift has spoken out about the rude and bizarre incident at the 2009 MTV VMAs involving Kanye West, all the while remaining as humble and as professional as ever. Those are some words that you will never hear being used to describe the rapper. When asked about the moments on stage, the country singer said ?Well, I was standing on stage because I was really excited because I had just won the award. And then I was really excited because Kanye West was on stage. And then I wasn’t so excited anymore after that.? Celebrities left and right offered their support to Taylor after the incident but Taylor herself doesn?t hold any ill-will, saying ?I don’t know him, and I’ve never met him, so? I don’t want to start anything because I had a great night tonight.?
If you don?t like Taylor Swift then something must definitely be wrong with you. The 19-year old country singer has got style, class and a voice that is easy to fall in love with. That?s why I?m pretty excite to hear that on October 27th, Taylor will be re-releasing her mega hit album ?Fearless? with all kinds of stuff to come out with it. The re-release will include six bran new songs as well as a DVD with photos, tour footage and her videos, including her comedic clip with T-Pain from the CMT Awards earlier this year. That?s a pretty smart scheme to squeeze every last drop out of fans.
Remember American Idol?s Danny Gokey? The singer placed third in the last season of the hit show. The Idol curse hasn?t run its course on him yet though as Danny has recently signed a record deal with 19 Recordings/RCA Nashville. The label he got signed to isn?t that much of a surprise as he sang three country songs on the show. Danny?s album is expected to drop in March of next year but fans can expect a single to hit the radio airwaves in the late fall. While I don?t believe that Danny will have the same amount of success as Kris Allen or Adam Lambert, I?m glad to see that he hasn?t disappeared into obscurity like other Idol alums ? yet.
We?ve gotten plenty of reasons to fall in love with Taylor Swift and it seems that us normal folk aren?t the only ones that are enchanted by the young country singer. After playing a sold-out concert at New York City?s Madison Square Garden last Thursday, Taylor wrote on her Twitter that ?Rihanna sent me roses. How amazing is she?! Most. Amazing. Night. That?s what I?ll look back on when I?m old.? Who knew that the Barbadian beauty was a fan of Taylor? Rihanna was so sweet in sending those flowers to Taylor. If that happened to me, I?d be dead before I forget getting roses from Rihanna.
Taylor Swift recently spoke to Elle magazine about finding out about John Mayer wanting to do a duet with her. Back in March, the 31-year singer went on his Twitter to say ?Waking up to this song idea that won?t leave my head. 3 days straight now. That means it?s good enough to finish, It?s called ?Half of My Heart? and I want to sing it with Taylor Swift. She would make a killer ?Nicks? in contrast to my ?Petty? of a song.? The country singing cutie told Elle ?I freaked out when I heard because I?ve been such a big fan of John for such a long time. I?m really excited about just the idea that he would even mention me in his Twitter!?
Taylor Swift recently had an interview with the Tennessean where she talks about how she loves creating and performing music. The 19-year old country singer said ?I get tired but I don?t get tired of it. When I was a little kid I remember sitting there thinking how lucky I would be if someday people cared about the words I wrote, and when you spend so much time daydreaming about that, I don?t complain. When I go to a restaurant I know a line is going to form in front of the table, but didn?t I used to wish for that? I?m not going to be that girl that wishes for something her whole life and then complains when she gets it. I?m not going to be that girl.?
Here?s a really odd couple for you ? Taylor Swift and T-Pain. Who would have even dreamed of these two together? The country singing cuties and the rapper collaborated on a photo shoot for the upcoming CMT Awards. Taylor was pictured in all out street wear, complete with the sideways cap and baggy clothes. She looks cute actually. I wonder if they?re going to do a duet at the awards show. Taylor recently blogged that she was doing something with T-Pain but didn?t elaborate much. A duet between the two will surely be something to hear and see. Admit it, you?re curious too.
A tip for first time writers is to write what you know. Taylor Swift constantly does that with every hit song she?s come out with so I guess it?s about time that other people do that too. I guess Joe Jonas took some notes as the song ?Much Better? off of the new Jonas Brothers album pretty much takes a shot at Joe?s ex-girlfriend. The lyrics go ?And all the tears on her guitar, I’m not bitter. But now I see, everything I’d ever need, Is the girl in front of me, She’s much better.? They?re obviously referring to the country singing cutie?s ?Teardrops on My Guitar?.
The Jonas Brothers have a new album about to come out called ?Lines, Vines and Trying Times?. The first single off of the album is called ?Paranoid? and some people are saying that the lyrics may be referring to Joe?s ex-girlfriend, country singing cutie Taylor Swift. However, Nick says ?This is really funny because people think this is about something particular but the truth to that is it’s one of the only songs of the record that’s not about a direct personal experience.? Kevin added ?It’s, like, the most general song.? How do you write a general song about a scorned ex?
