If there's one thing to know about Taylor Swift, it's that she doesn't do anything on a small scale. Like, ever. She goes big on all fronts -- and her 2013 Red Tour won't be any different. In fact, the 'Begin Again' singer plans to up the ante from her last tour in the live realm. And what that boils down to is that Swifties are going to be very, very happy.
Taylor Swift has plenty of nicknames (like T-Swizzle, Swifty, Tay Tay and T-Swift, just to name a few). And while the pop-country superstar doesn't seem to mind most of the endearing terms that her fans and friends create for her, one nickname -- which was given by none other than former tourmate Brad Paisley -- did earn the distinction of worst nickname ever for the 22-year-old.
Taylor Swift wasn't immediately affected by Hurricane Sandy, the superstorm that battered the East Coast and NYC two weeks ago. However, the singer has fond memories of the Jersey Shore, since she spent her summers there as a kid. Swift was born in an area of Pennsylvania that isn't far from the epicenter of much of the storm's damage, so she has a connection to the region, and she wants to help restore life and business in the area.
Taylor Swift is adding to her already-ballooning magazine cover portfolio with a nod on the December/January issue of Harper's Bazaar. It's a essentially a head shot of Swift and her ever-present bangs, and she looks both natural and lovely. The Bazaar cover has a 1970s energy to it, as her hair blows across her shiny, nude-painted lips.
Much like the rest of her songs, Taylor Swift's 'Begin Again' lyrics all come from a special place in the singer-songwriter's heart.
For the past several weeks, Taylor Swift has been in the midst of a huge promotional tour for her most recent album. We've seen Ms. Swift grace the cameras for nearly every talk show and late-night show this fall -- and it looks like it has paid off. The 'Red' hitmaker was crowned Best Female Artist at MTV's European Music Awards on Sunday night.
For her performance of 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' at the 2012 MTV EMAs -- which is the European version of the VMAs, held last night (Nov. 11) in Frankfurt, Germany -- Taylor Swift put on a magic show of sorts. Actually, it was more like a hybrid of a magic show, a carnival and a circus. It was certainly an arresting performance of her catchy hit. It was also more "pop" in its styling and imaging.
Taylor Swift has added her name to the already stacked lineup of performers at this year's 40th Annual American Music Awards November 18th. As the event nears, the AMA's are making a case for possibly being the musical event of the year.
Taylor Swift and Conor Kennedy may have ended their romance a few weeks ago, but the singer's love affair with his famous political family rages on. In fact, it appears that Swift and her former beau remain in touch and on friendly terms, so things won't be awkward when they both attend a Kennedy family event next month where Swift will be the guest of honor.
Taylor Swift's TV takeover isn’t over by any means. While the superstar was everywhere on both breakfast and late night when 'Red' was released, there is one outlet that she has yet to conquer. But that will change on Thursday (Nov. 15), when she takes the stage to perform live on the 'X Factor' elimination/results episode on FOX.
Like any 16-year-old would, when Taylor Swift received her first paycheck in 2006, she bought a car. But the rising country music star didn't want to buy just any car. Inspired by the 2004 movie 'Mean Girls' -- and feeling a little angst about being bullied by the mean girls in her own school days -- Swift splurged on the exact car that lead bully Regina George drives in the film.
Taylor Swift may not be kicking off her official Red Tour until next March, but you can get a first glimpse of the 'Begin Again' singer's live show months ahead of time. 'Taylor Swift Live From New York,' a near 40-minute concert set, is available for your viewing pleasure now.
