Taylor Swift Sweden | Sweden's Largest Fansite Dedicated To Taylor Swift

 

Taylor Swift may be spending most of her time in New York these days, but she'll be heading west at the end of next month.

I've just learned that the pop music superstar will perform at this year's MTV Video Music Awards in L.A.! Swift is planning an "explosive" performance for the Moonman extravaganza, one source said. Exact details are being kept under wraps, but I do know that Swift will be hitting the stage by herself. "It's not a collaboration with another singer," the source said.

So will Taylor be debuting a new song? We sure hope so!

Still only 24 years old, Swift fell just short of the top spot on this year’s Country Cash Kings list, but her $64 million haul is her best year yet. She earns the bulk of her bucks from touring, also cashing in on endorsements for Diet Coke, Keds and CoverGirl. Earlier this year the crossover star was honored at the CMAs with the Pinnacle Award, which has only been given to one other artist: Garth Brooks.

 

Taylor Swift is a phenomenon. She’s sold over 22 million albums world wide and she’s one of the best-selling digital recording artist of all time. She has endorsement deals with Sony , Diet Coke and Covergirl. She’s number three on “The 10 Highest-Paid Women in Music 2013,”Forbes List. Mick Jagger thinks she’s a rock star. Though she has accomplished a lifetime full of achievements, she’s just 24. She is the girl you’d hate if you didn’t like her so much.

The last (but not least) remarkable thing about Swift is her ability to thrive and continue to maintain high album sales in an industry that’s technologically evolving, in an economy that hasn’t been kind to the entertainment industry. Major artists are seeing record and single sales suffer, but Swift isn’t feeling the effects.

Call her golden girl or goody-two shoes, but it is not easy being Taylor Swift.

She has maintained her position as one of the world’s biggest pop starlets in the past few years while being relatively untainted by controversy, even as every detail of her personal life is lapped up by fans and put under the glare of social and traditional media.

If rival Miley Cyrus is the exhibitionist riding on her out-there brand of sexuality, Swift is the tease whose self-penned songs appear to be confessional without revealing much.

Despite much speculation that recent songs such as her 2010 hit single Back To December and Dear John are about famous ex-boyfriends such as Twilight star Taylor Lautner and singer John Mayer, Swift herself has always been tight-lipped about her muses.

Taylor Swift has smashed the all-time revenue record for a single tour by a country artist with the final stats reported from her Red tour that played arenas and stadiums in four continents during a 15-month span.  According to Billboard’s Boxscore archives, the tour’s overall gross of $150 million surpasses the prior country artist record held by double-billed Tim McGraw and Faith Hill Soul2Soul tour that brought in $141 million during 2006 and 2007.

The Red tour, which tops the weekly Hot Tours ranking, began last year on March 13 in Omaha, Neb. and ran for six months in North America before closing with a three-show stand in Nashville in September. In November and December, Swift traveled Down Under for a five-city jaunt through Australia and New Zealand to close out the year.  She performed in London and Berlin in February to kick off the tour’s 2014 schedule, and the final trek covered six cities in Asia, beginning with a May 30 performance in Shanghai and ending on June 12 with a final concert in Singapore.  The Red tour’s final box office counts total $150,184,971 in revenue from 1,702,933 sold tickets at 86 performances in 12 countries.
