Taylor Swift loves "entertaining the crew" when she's sitting in the make-up chair. The country musician's signature feminine look is created by make-up artist Lorrie Turk. The beauty pro says Taylor loves to amuse those around her, even when she's preparing for a red carpet event.

 

"Whenever I'm doing her make-up, Taylor always seems to be the one entertaining the crew. Whether she's cracking jokes or just having a regular conversation with me she is by far one of the funniest people I have ever known!" she told InStyle.

 

"Taylor always comes prepared with a playlist, so when she's in the make-up chair, we're all listening to the music she's loving at the time."

 

Lorrie puts careful consideration into Taylor's beauty look before an event. She liaises with the stunning star's styling team to create the most appropriate look.

 

"A few days before a big event, I'll ask Taylor's stylist Joseph Cassell for a photo of the dress she plans to wear," she explained. "Along with that, I consider the particular award show or event she is attending and try to get an idea of whether the atmosphere is more casual or more formal that year."

'Safe and Sound,' the hot new track from Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars came close to kicking Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' out of the top spot on this week's Billboard Top Country Digital Tracks chart. The melancholy tune, from the soundtrack of the highly-anticipated big screen version of 'The Hunger Games,' roars onto the chart at No. 2, with 135,000 downloads registered since its surprise debut last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Taylor Swift had the third-biggest country disc with 2010's 'Speak Now' selling just shy of one million copies this year. Rounding out country's top five for the year were Scotty McCreery's 'Clear as Day' and Zac Brown Band's 'You Get What You Give.'

@TaylorSwift13: Saying goodbye to the shore, writing on a seashell.

2012 is lined up to be a big year for Taylor Swift. As promised, the 22-year-old ‘Ours’ songstress will follow up her tremendously successful ‘Speak Now’ album with a brand-new release. While we don’t yet have many details on the release date or the title of Swift’s 2012 album, we know that Swift is sure to put her blood, sweat and tears into it — just like she has with all of her previous works. The singer has grown a lot since her 2006 debut, and we’re anxious to see what she has up her sleeve — and her mind — as she settles into adulthood.

 

The Inspiration
Heartbreak and moving on from it. In an interview with the New Yorker this past fall, Swift revealed that the songs she’s penned thus far for her 2012 album are “sad.” It’s obvious Swift has been scarred by a few folks in the past, and she’s still got plenty to say about it. Haven’t these guys learned that hell hath no fury like a songwriter scorned?

 

The Songs
A few months ago, Swift told Ryan Seacrest that she was already 25 songs deep in her new album — with a year to go. At this point, it’s a safe bet that she’s pocketed at least enough of the tunes for a strong new album, and the rest will stay under lock and key. Perhaps the most shocking aspect of the fact that Swift is prepared to release a 2012 album — what with her insanely busy schedule over the past year — is that she even had time to sit down and write. “Being so busy, there’s not a lot of time to stop in the middle of the day and just kind of think about this feeling that you just realized about a relationship you had a year ago,” she said, explaining that her best ideas come late at night and proving that as a powerful pop-country icon, she never sleeps. “The ones I love the most end up happening very quickly.”

 

What to Expect
Supposedly Swift’s best album yet, according to her father, and we don’t doubt his credibility one bit. In December, she released a song that she had been “VERY excited about for a VERY long time” titled ‘Safe and Sound’ with the Civil Wars, which appears on ‘The Hunger Games’ movie soundtrack (preview it here). The track is a bit of a departure from typical Swift songs and brings in a dark element, showing how she has grown as a songwriter and as an artist. We have no idea whether or not ‘Safe and Sound’ is representative of what’s to come on Swift’s own album, but the switch-up in sound is a welcome change, and we’re anxious to see how much of that direction will be reflected on her 2012 new album. The album is due in the later part of the year, which will give the young singer plenty of time to continue her Speak Now Tour overseas and maybe add a few more awards to her collection (she’s up for three 2012 Grammys). We anticipate that the 2012 release from the once-16-year-old ‘Tim McGraw’ star is going to be her most impactful of her career… So far, anyway.

@TaylorSwift13: Nothing quite like a freezing cold, wintery beach.

U2's final spate of shows on its massive “360 Tour” lands as the top-grossing tour of 2011 across North America and throughout the world, according to Pollstar, the concert-industry tracking magazine.

 

The Irish quartet, which had to postpone a significant chunk of shows that had been scheduled in 2010 when singer Bono injured his back, roared back in 2011, pulling in $156 million from 25 shows in 21 cities in North America. Worldwide the group logged $231.9 million from 34 shows in 26 cities.

 

U2 was the only act to cross the $100-million mark in North America, but pop-country princess Taylor Swift came close with$97.7 million for her “Speak Now” tour, which visited 59 cities for 80 performances.

The rest of the Top 5 for the continent are country superstar Kenny Chesney, who grossed $84.6 million, Lady Gaga ($63.7 million) and the previous year's touring crown winner Bon Jovi. The New Jersey rock band registered $57.1 million during 34 shows in 27 cities, down from $108.2 million in 2010 racked up during a more intensive year of touring that logged 51 shows in 38 cities.

@TaylorSwift13: I get sort of crafty when I wrap gifts. Like.. I had to stop when I found myself hot-gluing Christmas figurines onto the presents.

Q: How are you enjoying being a perfumer?

Taylor: I love having my fragrance Wonderstruck out. It turned out to be something I wear every day, and I'm so proud of how well it's done. I love it when people come up to me and tell me they wear it every day.

Q: People were really into your snow globe photos on Twitter. Have you always made your own snow globes?

Taylor: That was my first time making snow globes out of mason jars, antique Christmas trinkets, and glitter. I found out how to do it on Pinterest. It made for a lovely winter activity day. Making snow globes made me feel like a little kid again.

Q: What are some of your family's holiday traditions?

Taylor: My family and I always decorate a big Christmas tree together and look at the ornaments Austin and I made when we were kids. It's so nostalgic, looking back at all the Christmases past and comparing them to how different our lives are now.

Q: With your tour over, where do you plan to spend the holidays? Are you looking forward to the time off?

Taylor: I plan on spending as much time with my family as possible. It's amazing to have us all together. Also, a lot of my friends are always on tour. To have everyone back in Nashville for the holidays is one of my favorite things about this time of year.

Procter and Gamble have pulled print advertisements featuring Taylor Swift wearing CoverGirl NatureLuxe Mousse Mascara, but it’s not because of anything the 22-year-old country beauty did or didn’t do. The images were “enhanced in post production,” meaning they were Photoshopped to expand upon the makeup’s effect. That’s a no-no, according to the Council of Business Bureau Claims.

 

While the small print indicated some photo editing, it wasn’t enough to satisfy the National Advertising Division of the CBBC. “You can’t use a photograph to demonstrate how a cosmetic will look after it is applied to a woman’s face and then — in the mice type — have a disclosure that says ‘OK, not really,’” Andrea Levine, director of the National Advertising Division, tells Business Insider.

 

The advertisement promised “2X more volume” after applying the mascara. Proctor and Gamble agreed to pull the campaign after reviewing the ad, and this seems to have satisfied the NAD.

 

Swift has not commented on the mini controversy. She’s taking some time off before returning to the road in 2012. According to her official website, she’ll begin a tour of Australia and New Zealand on March 2.

Taylor Swift's excellent etiquette was recognized by the National League of Junior Cotillions in a year-end list. Swift placed fifth on the "Ten Best-Mannered People of 2011" list, which honored her "for inspiring young people with her music and her manners." Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, placed first for her poise and dignity in the public eye. She was followed by Justin Bieber (for being courteous to fans), Paula Abdul (for encouraging aspiring entertainers) and Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (for setting a positive example to young athletes). TV host George Stephanopoulous, singer Jackie Evancho, TV host Erin Burnett, actress Emma Watson and Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow were also featured on the list.

Meredith (Owner: Taylor Swift): Swift’s new road buddy first appeared about a month ago and has since been the subject of quite a few pictures and even a video. We figure before the end of her next tour she’ll have taught the kitten how to play fiddle or at the very least how to keep away boys who end up as subjects for her songs.

That title belongs to Lady Gaga, who led the pack with a staggering $90 million total boosted by strong album sales, endorsements and an extremely lucrative world tour. Gaga’s total was more than the combined earnings of No. 2 Taylor Swift ($45 million) and No. 3 Katy Perry ($44 million), both of whom also benefitted from heavy touring and popular albums.

The earnings estimates were compiled with the help of data from Pollstar, RIAA and others, as well as extensive interviews with industry insiders including lawyers, managers, concert promoters, agents and, in some cases, the musicians themselves. The totals encompass all pretax income earned from May 2010 to May 2011, before subtracting agent and manager fees.

@Maggieeckford: The birthday girl!

@RyanSeacrest: Hey @TaylorSwift13, for ur birthday I wanted to get u something u would use on tour.

 

 

@MarishaMae: Happy Birthday @taylorswift !!

@XChadBallX: Partied on top of Nashville tonight! Happy Birthday & love to @taylorswift13 !

Happy Birthday Taylor Swift!
Taylor Swift is celebrating her 22nd birthday today. Now that she's accomplished pretty much everything, she tells me, "It would be the coolest thing in the world to keep doing it."

Now hundreds of Taylor Fans around the world have taken Taylor's birthday to honor her with a video but this one really might have been one of the most elaborate. A group of her super fans in Sweden sent their Birthday wishes. Watch!

What's on Taylor Swift's Christmas list?

With her Speak Now tour over, Taylor Swift is enjoying some downtime in Nashville, catching up with family, reconnecting with friends — and creating homemade snow globes.

 

“That was my first time making snow globes out of mason jars, antique Christmas trinkets and glitter,” she tells PEOPLE of her recent holiday experiment. “I found out how to do it on Pinterest. It made for a lovely winter activity day — it made me feel like a little kid again.”

 

From the sounds of it, Swift — who turns 22 today — will spend a lot of time reflecting on her childhood this season, considering her favorite family tradition is trimming “a big Christmas tree” with ornaments she and brother Austin made as kids. “It’s so nostalgic,” she says, “looking back at all the Christmases past and comparing them to how different our lives are now.”

 

The singer — whose toasty “Nashville holiday uniform” consists of sweaters, jeans and boots — is currently taking a break from the busyness, though, and focusing on shopping for friends. “I like to get my friends gifts that show that I really know them,” she explains. “If one of my friends says something about wanting something, I’ll write it down and get that for them for Christmas.”

 

Her own holiday wish list is a bit simpler: it includes a pasta maker, antique picture frames and “anything from Free People or Anthropologie,” she shares. She has big holiday hopes for her fans, too. “I hope that they’re happy, wherever they are … that they feel loved by the people around them,” she shares. “And most of all I hope they feel appreciated by me. My life would look nothing like this without them.”

Hailee Steinfield twittrade även ett grattis och en bild på de två tillsammans och Nash Overstreet, som spelar i Hot Chelle Rae, skämtade om att han skulle köpa en tatuering till Taylor haha ♥

Det är inte ens Taylors födelsedag i hela USA än haha!

She's only 21 yet Taylor Swift has already accomplished a lifetime of work.

Not to mention, bagged an incredible amount of awards.

Tonight she received another one, and it was a special honour for the country star as it recognised her relationship with Nashville.

För bara några timmar sedan befann sig Taylor på Nashville Symphony Ball som är ett enormt prestigefylld event där Taylor fick ta emot Nashville Symphony's Harmony Award. Priset är otroligt stort att få och tillsammans med ACM's & CMA's Entertainer Of The Year, AMA's Artist Of The Year, Billboard's Woman Of The Year och Jim Reeves International Award, så kan Taylor nu lägga till Harmony Award på sin lista för i år. Ibland är det svårt att inse hur framgångsrik Taylor faktiskt är och hur hon ändå så lyckas vara så jordnära och fortfarande lika genuin och tacksam. Till eventet bar Taylor en underbar klänning och såg verkligen jättevacker ut! Håret hade hon plattat och visade snyggt upp sin lugg i en fin håruppsättning. Kika in bilderna nedan ♥

Looking absolutely stunning in angelic blue-tinged oyster, Swift cut a heavenly figure at Nashville Symphony Ball at the Schermerhorn Symphony Centre in the Tennessee city.

 

Stunning: Taylor looked incredible in an blue-tinged oyster gown

 

Swift, who has four Grammy awards to her name, was honored with the Nashville Symphony's prestigious Harmony Award.

 

This recognising her for 'exemplifying the unique harmony between the many worlds of music that exist in Nashville, and her significant contributions to the development and appreciation of musical culture.'

 

Earlier this month Swift was feted by Billboard magazine as their 2011 Woman of the Year, the youngest artist ever to receive this top honour.

 

Last month she won Artist of the Year at the American Music Awards and was named Entertainer of the Year by the Country Music Association.

 

But Swift remains refreshingly down-to-earth, which is half her appeal, and even one simple word when she arrived at the ball: 'fancy.'

@TaylorSwift13: Fancy.

@MikeyReaves: I call this piece "Scanner Kitty".

Taylor har fått ta emot ännu en ära från Billboard! Tidningen har nämnt henne nummer som 1 av Top Country Artists 2011, och även som nummer 2 på deras lista av Top 200 Album Sales vilket är jättestort. Grattis Tay! Taylors Speak Now World Tour kan vi även hitta på nummer 5 på Top 25 Tours Of 2011 med 87/89 konserter slutsålda och ett totalt brutto på över 97 miljoner dollar. Wow! Vilket år Taylor har haft ♥

This ain't your granddad's country music. Today's country stars are just as at home on the pop charts as they are on the country tallies. Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, the Band Perry and Jason Aldean, among others, all made their mark in other genres in 2011.

 

Swift, who was honored this month as Billboard's Woman of the Year, made it a point to invite pop (and a few country) stars onstage during her Speak Now world tour, including Nicki Minaj, Flo Rida, Usher, Justin Bieber, Jason Mraz and Kenny Chesney. The Country Music Association (CMA) and Academy of Country Music both named her their entertainer of the year, and she picked up Billboard Music Awards to boot.

 

In our 2011 year-end recap, Swift scores the Top Country Artist nod and her 2010 release, "Speak Now," leads the year-end Top Country Albums recap.

@TaylorSwift13: Might have gone a little crazy in Williams Sonoma today. I couldn't help it, it's so seasonal in there.

"I was in Australia. I got home, and I was actually staying in my condo for the day," the rapper told MTV News. "And I looked down, 'cause my condo, it's right across the street from the arena, and I was like, 'I wonder who's performing?' So I went down there, spur-of-the-moment, and they told me it was Taylor."

 

While he initially planned to simply catch the show, like many devoted Swift fans, it turned out to be even better than he thought.

 

"I spoke with them, and they asked me to perform," he said. "And she was very nice and very humble. I had an amazing time. Her fans are over-the-top. It was crazy. Much love to Taylor Swift."

Ours har även dykt upp på YouTube. Musikvideon finns även i sidmenyn!

She gave me a small taste of her new music-four songs-and I about went through the roof. These four songs alone will take her to another level, and I know her performance the next time out will go to another level. I’m looking forward to the next time out."

This year proved to be another amazing one for Taylor Swift. She just wrapped up the U.S. leg of her Speak Now Tour, released her new Wonderstruck perfume and unveiled her video for "Ours." But now, Swift has her sights set on an even bigger 2012.

 

Swift is gearing up to release her fourth album, and in an October interview, she revealed that her new songs were not about "moving on." So when MTV News caught up with the country star at the Billboard Women in Music event, we had to ask which emotions were triggering such a personal album.

"I can't tell you, because it's a secret," Swift teased. "It will be unveiled when it all comes out, because they all seem to have a theme to them, the records that we've put out so far, and this one is no different. It's very different in what it's about, but it's no different in the fact that it has its own name." Swift was on hand at the event with another honoree, Nicki Minaj, who is also set to release her new album in 2012, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

 

"I love her," Swift said of Minaj. "One of my favorite moments of the tour was when she came out at the Staples Center and sang 'Super Bass' with me, which was, like, the coolest thing. It was like a dream come true, so it's amazing to get to run into her and see her around, and I'm just such a fan." So would Swift possibly collaborate with Minaj on her next album? "I mean, we're not working on anything right now," Swift said. "But I would love to at some point. That would be amazing."

When I saw Taylor Swift at Billboard and Crest 3D White's "Women in Music" event this afternoon, I couldn't believe her chic hair. The 22-year-old songstress, who normally has long, curly hair, was spotting with brand new bangs and a stick straight style. Here's what she thinks of her new look:

 

How did you decide to cut your hair?
I was on a photoshoot and they wanted to do, like, clip-in bangs and straighten my hair. I just said, ‘Why don’t you just cut them?’ They did.

 

Is it hard to have bangs with curly hair?
It’s actually not. I think I can figure out a way to incorporate them, I was playing around with it in my hotel room and I think that it might work both ways, but we’ll see. It’s just fun to play around with your hair and change it up. I never change it up, so this is nice.

 

What inspired your transformation?
I wanted to change my look a little bit and I’ve loved the way that bangs look on other people. I always seem to want to straighten my hair in the winter. And I think I just decided to go a step further this time.

 

How does your style routine generally change in the winter?
I usually wear more jeans. Spring and summer, I’m usually all dresses and skirts, so winter is like jeans, leggings, tights, dresses, dark colors and straight hair.

 

Are there any pieces in particular you’ve invested in for winter?
I’ve gotten a lot of Rugby and Ralph Lauren stuff because I think it looks very winter-y and Christmas-y, so that’s been stuff I really liked getting.

 

What’s your go-to New Year’s Eve outfit, hair and makeup?
It would probably be some sort of sparkly dress and straight hair and maybe a bold smoky eye and a nude lip.

Last night, Taylor Swift came to the Ronald to visit with the kids and families......what a terrific treat! Ally was beside herself and smiling ear to ear the whole time! Both girls gave Taylor a hug and said hello, got her autograph, and we were all treated to a mini show of 4 songs...at the kids request :) Ally happened to have her t-shirt from the concert (thanks again to our special wish granter for the tickets to Taylor Swift's Tampa show in November) and Miss Taylor noticed Ally as soon as she walked in the playroom. During her little concert for the kids, Ally made the first song request, her new song Ours, and Ally sang along every word, with lots of smiles and winks from Taylor!! It was a great experience for all of us and we were honored to have her here! Taylor Swift was very sweet and so kind to spend the evening with our kids--thank you!!!!

Hej Emmy här. Åkte som flera av er redan vet till New York för att se Taylors sista konsert av Speak Now 2011 på Madison Square Garden.

Det finns många fler Taylor Swift-relaterade saker att uppleva i New York och självklart passade jag på det också. Det kan ni läsa om här i min egna blogg.

Det var i början på april som biljetterna för Taylors sista konsert i New York släpptes och jag hade en enorm tur som fick tag på två bra platser på Madison Square Garden via ticketmaster. Det har varit en väldigt lång väntan och jag kan såhär i efterhand säga att det var så värt att åka till USA för att se den här turnén.

Då jag är från Sverige är det inte möjligt att få biljetterna på riktigt förrän samma dag som konserten, så det allra första jag gjorde när jag vaknade dagen för konserten var att skynda iväg till arenan och hämta ut dem. De finns att hämta och först då börjar jag verkligen känna att det här är på riktigt när jag håller dem i handen. Jag ska se Taylor. I New York! Jag studsar omkring hela förmiddagen trots att vädret är fruktansvärt regnigt och iskallt och jag har på mig min hemmagjorda T-shirt, klänningen jag köpt i NYC, en Sverigeflagga istället för affisch, och såklart parfymen Wonderstruck.

Jag har via Taylor Connect (taylors officiella fanforum) stämt träff med två personer, en från Irland och en från New York och vi ses vid arenan klockan 13. Träffar massa annat folk bl.a. en tjej från Canada där många står och väntar i regnet utanför den ena av två sceningångar. Det är fullt av lastbilar och bussar med Taylors ansikte på dem och hela gatan är avstängd för annan trafik.

Vid tvåtiden anländer Andrea (Taylors mamma) men då det regnar så åker hon bara förbi oss som väntar. Strax efter får vi reda på att Taylor är på väg och stämningen stiger markant bland de ca 40 fansen som står där. Tyvärr är det så att alla övriga i Taylors gäng kommer till den andra sceningången då där inte finns en enda som väntar på dem. Tydligen var de försenade av all trafik och har inte tid att gå ut i ösregnet. Jättetråkigt men förståeligt. Vi står i alla fall kvar och det kommer ut en man som säger att Taylor just nu sjunger ”Fire and Rain” i soundcheck och det blir lite hysteri då alla först tolkar det som en låt av Joe Jonas, vilket är väldigt opopulärt bland dessa människor. Otroligt gulligt av den här mannen att komma ut och berätta i vilket fall.

Jag och några Swifties jag lärt känna går in på arenan vid kvart i fem för att äta då vi håller på att frysa ihjäl. I efterhand ångrar jag det så otroligt mycket för fem i fem kom tydligen ALLA dansare och många i bandet ut och träffade fans precis där jag stått tio minuter tidigare. Jag är fortfarande besviken att jag inte stod kvar, men det verkade på alla vakter som att ingen skulle komma  :(

De jag lärde känna ställde upp på kort och en av dem hade finaste kostymen!

Inne på arenan får jag rätt mycket uppmärksamhet av de som jobbar där för att jag rest så långt, de är imponerade. Killen som säljer merchandise tar mig åt sidan och struntar helt i att kön bakom växer och är hur schysst som helst, han vill lära sig svenska fraser så det får han. Jag köper T-shirt, armband och turnéboken. Får ta ett kort med Covergirl också och får massor med läppglans, man skulle få ett men då jag och min vän cirkulerar runt arenan några varv så lyckas vi få fyra var, plus att jag köpt några innan.

Sittplatserna vi hade var imponerande bra. Vi ser ALLT. Taylors båda föräldrar är där, Austin och Abigail syns till. Hunter Hayes (han öppnade för Taylor några konserter på denna turné och är typ som Eric Saade här i Sverige – en flickidol) skriver sjukt många autografer och Justin Beiber skymtar förbi mellan sina fem livvakter. Båda förbanden var helt okej, men Adam Brand som spelade först var riktigt bra! Bara känslan att vara där är helt galet fantastiskt stor och när Taylor hissas upp på scenen med introt på Sparks Fly så känns det som att taket ska lyfta.

Hon står långa perioder och bara stirrar på publiken med det där lyckliga leendet och de stora blå ögonen som ser helt förvånade ut. Det är en enorm skillnad från Oslo för att här slutar inte skrikandet efter ett tag, det ökar. Det tar liksom aldrig slut och man ser hur otroligt lycklig hon är. Man ser att hon verkligen älskar det hon gör. Den nordamerikanska konserten är större på alla sätt. Dansare, luftakrobater, stora järnbroar hissas ner, järnklockor, hon flyger med en balkong över publiken, fyrverkerier, ja ni har sett videor från konserterna i USA. Det är en gigantisk show och den är helt enastående. Jag har aldrig sett något som är i närheten av detta och det är bra. Helt galet bra. Sådär bra så man tappar andan och bara hoppas att tiden kan stå still så man kan vara kvar där för alltid.

Så mysigt att Taylor tackar fansen för att vi röstar på henne så hon vinner priser, och jättekul att hon ändrar låttexter till att få in New York City lite här och där och hon berättar varför hon valde att sluta turnén här i New York. Älskar stunden hon går genom publiken och sitter med bara sin gitarr och pratar med publiken samtidigt som hon fingrar på gitarren. Det känns som om hon är mest lycklig just där, just då. Av vad jag hört från inspelningar över internet så pratar hon mer mellan låtarna på den här konserten än på de andra. Hon nämner nåt om att innan hon skrev Last Kiss så låg hon på golvet och käkade massa glass när hon mådde som sämst och hur det kan vändas till att bli en låt. Hon tog flera gånger upp att det var sista konserten och hur mycket hon tyckte om oss <3

Gästartisterna var otroligt bra! Jag är ett stort fan av Selena Gomez och jag hade hoppats på att hon skulle dyka upp ända sedan jag köpte biljetterna i april men jag trodde aldrig att det skulle hända. Så min lycka när Taylor stannar upp på scenen efter Dear John och jag vet att nu kommer det en gästartist och Taylor börjar prata om att det är sista konserten och hur man då vill ha sina vänner där. Ljudnivån när hon säger detta stiger något enormt – vilket kändes helt omöjligt då den var extremt hög redan innan. Så går introt till Who Says igång och Taylor utbrister: "SELENA IS HERE!!!…"  Där stiger ljudet så högt att jag tror mina öron ska spricka, men jag bryr mig inte för jag hoppar upp och ned av lycka för Selena är helt plötsligt där, på scenen och jag får se mina två favoritartister samtidigt på samma scen. Helt fantastiskt. De var så bra tillsammans och man riktigt såg hur de strålade av lycka att äntligen kunna stå på samma scen samtidigt. Sedan när James Taylor kom så förklarade Taylor att hon var döpt efter honom och man kunde se under deras framträdande (med låten Fire and Rain som mannen tipsat oss om) att hennes föräldrar stod och grät och höll om varandra, de är helt fantastiska människor och man ser hur otroligt stolta de är över Taylor! Jag kan erkänna att jag fick torka en hel del tårar under den låten jag också, så otroligt bra låt och så vackert!

Konserten är slut och jag är så otroligt glad att jag fått ta del av den. Det blev en hel del tårar och skratt och jag kommer minnas konserten och de jag träffade i resten av mitt liv. Jag har ett tiotal nya vänner att hålla kontakten med och Taylor Swifts Speak Now Turné är nu ett minne blott (likaså är min röst!) och finalen på Madison Square Garden var så mycket bättre än jag vågat hoppats på. Absolut värt 22,5 timmars resa för att komma dit.

@TaylorSwift13: Aw! The #Wonderstruck team at Elizabeth Arden had this tree sent to my room in NYC! It's Christmas EVERYWHERE !!!

There you have it, the youngest superstar ever chosen as Billboard’s Woman of the Year for our Women in Music issue. Taylor Swift has enchanted fans, fellow stars and the music business alike in 2011 and just happens to be on a hot streak of late, with hauls at the CMAs, AMAs and three hot-off-the-presses Grammy nominations. For our pick for Rising Star, we (naturally) went with Taylor’s friend, Nicki Minaj. As an MC, she can hold her own with the best of them. As a fashion icon, she has limitless potential. As a pop star, she’s just getting warmed up.

Jag har en fråga; I online shop på Taylors hemsida kan man typ inte välja EU, United States m.m. Betyder det att man kan få hem allting där till Sverige eller så? Journey to Fearless t.ex. tänkte jag önska mig i julklapp, men jag kan inte se om den finns i Eu. Skulle vara jätte tacksam för svar. Du har en jättebra blogg, jag kollar den varje dag :D

@TaylorSwift13: Got a haircut.

Så fint!
