Jay Sean intervjuades av BBC Radio där han säger att han kan tänka sig samarbeta med Taylor! Läs nedan vad han sa för visst skulle det vara helt otroligt om de gjorde en duett tillsammans? ♥

R&B star Jay Sean has admitted he'd love to write a song with US country star Taylor Swift.

 

The 29-year-old star hasn't had as much success at home compared to the States but was the first UK urban artist to go to number one in America in 2009.

 

He said: "Imagine if I did a song with Taylor Swift. How would I be able be pull off a song with Taylor Swift but at the same time do a song with Jay-Z?

 

"That's what I'm interested in. That's a song writing challenge for me."

 

The British singer is signed to Cash Money Records along with Drake, Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne.

 

Jay Sean said a collaboration with Taylor Swift could definitely be on the cards.

 

"I talk to her," he said. "I know she's a fan of my music which is lovely.

 

"We were at the same concert and she was standing at the side of the stage dancing, while I was singing. I'm a fan of hers.

 

"It's just very difficult to get in the same studio but I hope we get the chance to write together if she's up for it."

Taylor Swift celebrated her 7th #1 record this week when “Back To December” jumped from #5 to #1 on the Mediabase / Country Aircheck chart, marking her second consecutive #1 single from her Multi-Platinum Speak Now CD, released in October on Big Machine Records. Swift’s first #1 was 2007’s “Our Song,” which topped the charts for 6 consecutive weeks.

Also this week, Taylor’s self-titled debut CD, released in 2006, was certified 5X-Platinum by the RIAA for sales of more than 5 Million copies. Her Fearless album is currently 6X-Platinum, and Speak Now is Triple-Platinum.

Idag spelade Taylor sin sista konsert i Asien (Hong Kong) och kort innan den började intervjuades hon en liten stund av The Associated Press och hon pratar om hur det känns att ha internationella fans och att hon älskar att countrymusik kan växa över hela världen ♥

 

Wrapping up the Asian leg of her world tour, Taylor Swift is relishing her growing international appeal as the singer-songwriter steadily gains fan outside the U.S. with her combination of confessional lyrics and country sound.

 

Shortly before taking the stage at Hong Kong's AsiaWorld-Expo arena late Monday, the 21-year-old received a long line of Universal Music executives from across Asia who presented her with platinum sales plaques. Swift's previous album, "Fearless" sold 400,000 copies in the region. Her latest release, "Speak Now," is also performing well, achieving platinum status in Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia and the Philippines.

 

"Some of them were really surprising to me. I wasn't aware of every single certification we have in Asia. It really blew my mind," Swift told The Associated Press backstage.

 

It's testimony to the growing crossover appeal of the country star on foreign shores. Having just released her third album in October, the four-time Grammy winner can already boast a considerable global following. The initial Asian leg of Swift's "Speak Now" tour has taken her to Singapore, Seoul, Osaka, Tokyo and Manila.

 

Swift said she's proud to be an international ambassador for country music.

 

"I love country music, and I love the fact that it's being accepted all over the world. That is so exciting for me," she told the AP.

 

"I have heroes who have taken country music internationally. You have Garth Brooks and Shania Twain. They really did a lot for country music because they brought an awareness to it. The fact that I have the opportunity to do that too and go to other countries where I've never been before and play music — it's what I've always dreamed of doing."

 

"The international success has been the most beautiful and pleasant surprise. Being welcomed by countries that speak a different language from the language I speak is an honor," Swift said.

 

"It really touches me every time I look down and I see all the fans singing the words to my songs, having written the lyrics, knowing that they connect in countries where English really isn't spoken by everyone. It means the world to me."

MTV har gjort en intervju med Yoann Lemoine, regissören av Back To December musikvideo, där han bland annat förklarar varför det snöar inomhus i scenerna med Taylor. Det är en väldigt intressant artikel för man får veta lite mer om hur han tänkte med videon!

In her video for "Back to December," Taylor Swift finds herself and her home covered in snow while she contemplates the best way to apologize to her former beau, played by model Guntars Asmanis, for breaking his heart. Director Yoann Lemoine tells MTV News that he had a certain aesthetic he wanted to capture for the chilly clip, which was shot partly in Nashville (for Swift's scenes) and Upstate New York (for Asmanis' scenes) in December.

 

"I wanted the video to be very simple and metaphorical at the same time," the Frenchman explained. "I wanted to work on the coldness of feelings in a very visual way, playing with the snow, the distance and sadness. [Taylor] really liked it. The winter theme was very interesting to me — the snow, the ice. I even wanted the guy to go swim in frozen lakes at some point. It was not possible, but I wanted to translate how you feel sometime when your heart is broken. The snow in the apartment is supposed to show how connected she is to him. He is outside, in the cold, but somehow she is connected to him."

 

Swift pretty much let Lemoine have control over the clip's look and feel, although it was her idea to have her character leave the letter for her beloved. As for Swift's look in the video, Lemoine says he was focused on making sure that it all felt real and that she came off as accessible.

CMT har lagt upp en artikel där regissören av Back To December musikvideo, Yoann Lemoine, blir intervjuad. Artikeln är värd att läsa för han förklarar bland annat varför det inte finns några scener med Taylor och den manliga skådespelaren tillsammans och även vad han fick videoidén ifrån!

Video director Yoann Lemoine just told me everything about shooting Taylor Swift's video for "Back to December," and I think emotionally, Swift has met her match. This is a man who is as artistic as he is sensitive. From the minute he heard "Back to December," he got it. (Keep in mind, he is French. And has a thick accent. So everything he said sounded that much more meaningful and romantic.) He said that the idea for the video came to him, and I'm not making this up, from the movie, E.T.: "You know, the way Elliot is connected to E.T. when [Elliot] is at school, when E.T. is drinking but Elliot is feeling that alcohol," he explained.

"Something I really liked about the song was the very emotional side of it, and how I could play with the winter theme of it. Like how there is that parallel between the feelings she is having and the coldness of snow. I wanted to draw out the way that he is outside, but she is the one who is cold because they are connected. He's freezing, but she's feeling pain," he said.

Footage with the brooding boy (male model Guntars Asmanis) was shot in Binghamton's MacArthur Park, south of Syracuse, N.Y., which was the only place they could find snow at the time of the shoot. And the scenes with Swift were shot in what Lemoine called an old country mansion outside of Nashville. So for all you will-she-fall-in-love-again speculators, Swift and Asmanis never even met. Lemoine said he cast him for his fragility and his "very subtle way of being sad." When I asked him why there were no scenes with the two young lovers actually together, he said he wanted the video to be honest. "I don't like that trend. They have broken up. So there is no reason they are together," he said. "This is what is painful."

Speak Now är på Billboard 200's förstaplats denna vecka igen med 52,000 exemplar sålda och det är den sjätte vecka hon ligger på #1 sammanlagt sedan den 25 oktober! Grattis Tay ♥

This week, though Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" remains at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a sixth nonconsecutive week, it does so while earning a dubious honor. With just 52,000 copies sold (down 32%), it earns the distinction of notching the lowest-ever sales frame for a No. 1 album since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking data in 1991.

 

Since SoundScan was established, the previous low had been set by the "Dreamgirls" soundtrack on the Jan. 27, 2007, chart, when it scanned slightly more than 60,000 units.

 

We came close to setting a new record last year, when Justin Bieber's "My World 2.0" spent its fourth nonconsecutive week at No. 1 on the May 29 chart, shifting only a couple hundred copies more than the "Dreamgirls" low.
