Winning awards isn't everything...

Bra artikel jag hittade på TC! Såg att ett citat från min text var där från Swiftination, lite kul faktiskt :D

Winning Award Isn't Everything

normal_001.jpg

Taylor Swift at the 2010 CMT Awards (courtesy of Taylor Swift Web)

As a recent awards shows have explained, winning isn’t everything. This can be showcased by the recent no gains by the extremely popular international superstar, Taylor Swift, at awards shows. For example, at the last two awards she has attended, she has gained no awards. This proves that awards are not everything. Taylor Swift is a talented young music artist who can mix genres and hold her place firmly worldwide on the music charts. For any music artist, personal recognition is more important than the music industry recognizing accomplishments. So, if Taylor has people personally saying she is an outstanding musician and an amazing person she has nothing to worry. This is confirmed by what fans sites say about her:

[We] still love you, can't wait for new music to memorize!!! [After Grammys:] Way to go Taylor!” (Jennifer Jones of Swift Sorority)

“I've decided to live my life by just being who I am, listen to Taylor, my role model and biggest support. We all know that Taylor is the most incredible and true person and i know she has the most influence of me.”  (Andrea on Swiftie Nation)

“[After CMT Awards:] You are the real winner of the night Taylor! We are proud of you!” (Samantha & Hong of Taylor Swift web)

“May I say that she looks absolutely gorgeous? We voted for her and we love her and that’s all that matter.” (Windie of Taylor Swift online)

“I was a fan of hers and I had a much deeper admiration for a girl I’d never even heard of a month before than I did of anyone else in the music business.” (Kate of Independent Tree)

“Words cannot describe how much we love her, so I won't go on for ages saying why we love her etc. All I'll say is that we LOVE her so much!” (Jodie (me), Savannah and Nicole! Of JustFearless)

“You are Amazing! Taylor is an AMAZINGLY talented singer, song writer, and preformer!” (Taylor Swift Central)

“We, Taylor Swift fans just want to see Taylor win everything even though she won everything there is! But still She is our girl and we always want the best with her!” (Your News For Everything Taylor)

“Taylor Swift is a fantastic singer who is an inspiration for everyone” (Taylor Swift’s Man on http://www.taylorswiftsman.com/)

“Talented and beautiful country music singer and songwriter, Taylor Swift!” (Massie of http://www.t-swift.com/)

“I know Taylor shows exactly what she means to her fans. She means much to us” (Tied Together With Tay)

“Amazing country-singer songwriter Taylor Swift” (Gheline of Taylor Swift Love)

“I am Taylor Swift's biggest fan and I love her.” (Robert of Taylor Swift Forum. Net)

“At the CMT Awards she looked stunning!” (Taylor Swift Fansite)

Fans on her official forum sing similar praises:

“Curly or straight, Taylor's hair always looks wonderful.” (Gidget)

“Loved her hair and dress tonight!! She looked gorgeous!” (Ashez14)

“Taylor! I LOVE YOU! and your hair!” (SwiftySwift)

“Ahh, straight hair! She looks beautiful as always!” (Tee)

“Taylor really is a sweetheart. Who doesn't love her.” (MelissaD)

“It’s nice to have someone to relate to. She’s the same age as I am and writes about things I can relate to. When people aren’t there for you, you always have her music.” (wildatheart)

“She is absolutely captivating.” (Romeo)

“[Taylor is] so different and special and [that’s] why her fans love her.” (cactus71)

“Taylor will always be so down to earth! what a lovely human being.” (Emily)

“Taylor never ceases to amaze me.” (thecardigans1)

“Taylor really goes out of her way to make sure that people leave her concert with happy memories.” (Clueless)

“I can't begin to express how nice she was. It is just unbelievable! I can only say I love her even more now! People [should] see how great of person she is because she truly is great.” (Austenia)

“Taylor is amazing im glad we have a good role model for girls of all ages to look up to you could be 3 or 87 and still love taylor swift” (Tarah)

“Taylor is so caring and kind all the time.” (VidarCZ)

“I can say also that . . not only her beautiful face not only her inspirational songs but also her golden heart can make her people loved her and idolized.” (4evertaylorsfan)


As these quotes show, awards are a great thing to have but are not necessary to be a successful music artist and have music that resonated with the general population. Awards show have become a bit like sports games with people supporting music artists, like opposing teams in sports. Taylor plays this game very well balancing out her awards shows with no-gains by scheduling other events that improve her reputation after or before awards shows and getting more praise! For instance, even though she gained no awards at the ACM Awards in 2010, in subsequent weeks she gained 4 more awards to add to her collection (NARM Artist of the Year, BMI Song of the Year, BMI Pop Award and the Hal David Starlight Award). Another example is a the recent CMT Awards in which she gained no awards to the dismay of her fans, she is going to have a 13 hour meet & greet along with an acoustic performance that day. Taylor has unknowingly predicted in her song ‘Change’: “Things will change and we’ll all sing hallelujah!” That will come true if Taylor puts out a successful EP this summer (as rumored to happen) and a successful album this fall (very likely, that it will be a major hit on the charts). Then everyone will sing hallelujah.

Mix Me In2

Om ni inte vill läsa om nyheten om hur man kommer kunna lyssna på Taylor's musik som man aldrig har gjort förut, och inte vill veta det förän när den släpps 'officiellt' om man säger så, imorgon under den 13-hour meet & greet - scrolla inte ner/ scrolla förbi snabbt. :)


































Taylor Swift joins forces with 'Mix Me In2'

- New music technology allows music lovers to literally go inside the music

Music News

blog_1073_768.jpg

Music superstar TAYLOR SWIFT was announced today (6/10) as the first artist to join forces with Mix Me In2, the groundbreaking, creative, and fun music technology developed by Atlanta-based Fried Green Apps.

Executives from the company will be on hand Sunday 6/13 at Taylor Swift’s 13-hour Meet and Greet in Nashville to unveil Mix Me In2 Taylor Swift, a new iPhone App, powered by Mix Me In2’s patent-pending technology, which allows music lovers to literally go inside the music.  Fans can use the app to create hundreds of different versions of their favorite songs.

They can remove or change instruments. They can even mix themselves into the music by replacing existing instruments and vocals with their own.  It’s an exciting way to experience--and creatively re-imagine--music.

“I love playing music, and I love creating music,” Taylor said. “And, as somebody who is also a big music fan, I always love finding acoustic versions of my favorite songs. I think Mix Me In2 will be a great way for fans to have fun interacting with my music and to listen to new versions of my songs!”

In addition to the chart-topping original recording, each song in Mix Me In2 Taylor Swift comes with 5 heretofore never-released versions: rock, acoustic, urban, piano, and coffee house. All the music in Mix Me In2 Taylor Swift was approved and reviewed by Taylor Swift, her record label, and management team. The Mix Me In2 Taylor Swift app will cost $2.99 and comes with 2 of Taylor’s biggest hits, “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me.” Additional songs will cost $1.99 each.

“We are thrilled at the enthusiasm and support we have gotten from Taylor and her team throughout this process,” said Fried Green Apps CEO Bill Pike. “They have continually stressed how important it was to make this about the music and the fans’ enjoyment of it, which is exactly why we invented Mix Me In2.”

Fans can upload their versions of the songs to TaylorSwift.com and share them via Facebook and Twitter.

Though Taylor Swift is the first artist to release her original music through this groundbreaking app, Fried Green Apps is working with several other major record labels and artists. The company plans to release versions of the app for The Plain White T’s, Breaking Benjamin, and other major artists starting in the next few weeks.

“It’s more than an iPhone app,” said Grammy-winning producer Dallas Austin, a key player in the creation of Mix Me In.  “It turns every music fan into a music producer.”

Det verkar just nu bara vara en iPhone app, men det kanske kommer vara så att den kommer vara tillgänlig under dagen imorgon på nätet här.

FHM magazine: top 100 sexiest women 2010

FHM Magazine har släppt sin top 100 sexiest women lista för 2010. Läs nedan och se att Taylor hamnat på nionde plats! Lite kul faktiskt? :)

 

FHM magazine released their top 100 sexiest women this year for America. Just like the UK list posted yesterday, Megan Fox has been bumped down to number 2 while model Marisa Miller, who was number 3 on the UK list, was crowned number 1 as the sexiest woman in the world.


Rounding out the top ten were:

10.) Leighton Meester

9.) Taylor Swift

8.) Lady GaGa

7.) Lea Michele

6.) Jessica Alba

5.) Blake Lively

4.) Britney Spears

3.) Kristen Stewart.


What a difference a year makes! Last year's top ten included reality TV actress, Heidi Montag, at number 8, who after having 13 plastic surgeries is not even featured on this year's list! Model, Madeline Zima, 2009's number 5, didn't make the 2010 list either.


Glee's, Lea Michele, made her sexiest list debut. Jessica Alba and Megan Fox are the only two women to remain in the top ten both years. Gossip Girl co-stars Leighton Meester and Blake Lively make up 1/5 of the sexiest top 10 list. Elin Nordegren, Tiger Woods almost ex-wife, starts the list at number 100. Visit FHM.com for the complete list


 

Number 9

Taylor Swift (new entry)

On paper, the 20-year-old Pennsylvanian country singer seems like an annoying over-achiever: she has perfect pitch, plays guitar, piano and ukulele, and won a national poetry contest as a kid. But she’s also rich ($18m in the bank), endearingly clumsy (she dropped one of her four Grammys earlier this year and shattered it), and, most vitally, single. “I’m looking for a tall and humorous person”, she says. To the joke and stilts shop! If such a thing exists.

Taylor vill göra sina föräldrar stolta... :)

Taylor Swift’s "worst fear" is disappointing her parents.

The 20-year-old star has made a name for herself as a singer and actress, and is currently working on her new album. She says her mother and father have been instrumental in her success as they supported and encouraged her so much, something she is eternally grateful for.

"My parents have always been very respectful of me so I’ve always been really respectful of them," she explained to J14 magazine. "My worst fear is to let them down so that’s why I don’t misbehave."

Taylor has discussed her song writing process in the past, admitting she usually draws on her romantic relationships for inspiration. She has now explained writing about things that happen in her life is often the only way she can make sense of what she’s going through. She finds making lists of her feelings helps her cope, and then turns the notes into songs.

"When I finish a song, sometimes I think, ‘I must be the only person who has ever felt this way, right?’" she explained. "You can be afraid of a lot of things, but you jump anyway."

PEOPLE intervju från BMI awards

En liten artikel från PEOPLE där hon pratar om sitt kommande nya hem och lite om hennes kommande album!

Since moving into a decked-out Nashville apartment, Taylor Swift has made some significant changes to her home's original floor plan.

"There are rooms where there weren't rooms before, and I have a birdcage in my living room that is people-sized," the country musician, 20, told PEOPLE at Tuesday's BMI Pop Awards in Los Angeles. "Then there's a pond in the living room as well, and I want to get stingrays. I don't want people to think I'm crazy, but wouldn't that be cool?"

Stingrays (which are tropical marine life related to sharks) or no, such an eccentric pad requires an equally eccentric nickname.

"My friends and I have been calling it things like 'The Imaginarium,' because it has all of these crazy whimsical things in it," she says.

Will this fanciful state of mind carry over into her future song writing? So far, she's not saying, but does admit that the songwriting process for her new record, "has been amazing. I've been writing for the last two years. I keep making new lists, which is a good sign to me."

The trick, it appears, is in the editing: "I bump things off when I write something new that I like better," says Swift. "It's really all about honing it down."

Taylor Swift
is waiting until she finishes her current tour, which stops at Nassau Coliseum Friday night and Saturday, before wrapping up work on the follow-up to her "Fearless" album. But that doesn't mean she's put the other parts of the Taylor Swift empire on hold.

According to a recent poll by the marketing research firm ARSgroup, Swift, 20, is both well-liked and respected, with 50 percent of those surveyed saying they liked the singer-songwriter and 56 percent saying they would be likely to listen to her opinions on products.

It's no wonder the Grammy winner has developed partnerships in many different sectors outside of music. While she works on new music, here are five other Taylor-related products she is offering:

1. COVERGIRL She's going to help launch a new line of luxury products for the company in January and has just shot her first ads for them. "I have admired many of the CoverGirls since I was a little girl . . . great artists and actresses who are confident and still themselves," she said.

3 'VALENTINE'S DAY' Swift's acting debut comes out on DVD Tuesday, including the video for her single "Today Was a Fairytale."

4. AMERICAN GREETINGS She has a line of greeting cards called the Taylor Swift Collection, available online and in stores, featuring her music, pictures and quotes.

Hillary Scott pratar om Taylors nya hus

När Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott var och besökte Country Countdown USA kom de in på Taylor och hon berättade att tillsammans med sina bandmedlemmar Dave Haywood och Charles Kelley hade de varit på en av Taylors FEARLESS konserter och också att de hade fått chansen att titta in i Taylors nya hus.

Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott is smitten with Taylor Swift ... both as a performer and interior decorator. When Lady A paid a visit to Country Countdown USA this past weekend, Taylor's name came up in conversation with Hillary admitting that she -- along with group members Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley -- took a little detour last year to see Taylor perform during one of her Fearless concerts. "We had a day off and rolled our bus up into the Fearless Tour and crashed it," said Hillary. "It was awesome to see her show. It's just incredible the connection she has with her fans, and the screaming is like nothing I've ever heard. We had fun. She's doing amazing things, and she's so sweet." Apparently the two performers hit it off because Hillary got to pay a visit to Taylor's newest acquisition -- her Nashville penthouse condominium. "We were all in Nashville at the same time a couple of weeks ago, and I was able to see the progress of Taylor's apartment that she's in the process of getting together," Hillary reported. Since Hillary just got a new place for herself, were the two comparing notes during the condo tour? "There is no comparing from what I saw!" Hillary laughed. "Hers is absolutely gorgeous! It was so neat to see just how specific [it was] to her and her personality and the things that she loves. I'm so proud for her. Her [condo] is absolutely beautiful. I hear that she is going to have freshwater stingrays in her house. I told her that I've seen stingray exhibits in aquariums and malls, and it doesn't exactly smell that fresh ... [I said] 'I don't want to burst your bubble!'" Hillary didn't give up too much information about Taylor's magnificent new digs, but noted, "It's just very her, that's the best way to describe it. Her lucky number is 13, and that's definitely got a presence there. It's beautiful. If anything, I was taking notes from her because she has just worked so hard on it, and she gave me some great interior design ideas."

Nashville Rising: A Benefit for Flood

Taylor kommer att uppträda Nashville Rising: A Benefit for Flood, en konsert för katastrofen som hänt i Tennesse. Förutom Taylor kommer bland annat Carrie Underwood, Tim McGraw och Faith Hill att uppträda. Konserten är den 22 juni och det är Tim McGraw och Faith Hill som har organiserat det hela. Om det händer att ni är i USA då, så kommer biljetter släppas denna fredag. Mer info om det, gå till www.cmft.org

In response to last week’s devastating Tennessee floods,
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill have assembled a jaw-dropping lineup of talent for a June 22 benefit concert at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, one of the downtown venues that took in water when the Cumberland River overflowed its bank.

“Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert For Flood Recovery” will also feature Brooks & Dunn, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus, Jason Aldean, Miranda Lambert, Luke Bryan, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, LeAnn Rimes, Lynyrd Skynyrd and Martina McBride. Even more acts are expected to be announced at a future date.

“The damage that we’ve seen to people’s homes and the effect that the flooding has had on their lives is unimaginable,” Tim and Faith said in a joint statement. “But we’ve seen the spirit of our community first hand, as volunteers, church groups and our local business leaders rally to help. We all need to continue to support those in need in any way that we can, and for that reason we could not be more appreciative to all of the artists, the companies and the people behind the scenes who collectively will make June 22 a truly special night.”

Taylor Swift Surprised to Hear About How Surprised She Always Seems

20100505_swift_250x375.jpg

Photo: Theo Wargo/Getty Images

Not long ago, we observed that if there's one thing Taylor Swift is better at than winning awards, it is acting surprised when they’re announced. She wasn’t honored at the Time 100 gala last night, but we'd like to believe Swift saved her best surprised expression for when we told her she should come up with new ways to look surprised.

“That's so funny!” she said, laughing heartily (and looking flabbergasted). “When I win awards, I’m surprised. You can’t go into awards just thinking you’re going to win, because then, regardless of what happens, you’d be disappointed, you know? Or, like, you know, I would rather just be excitable, and I can’t really help being excitable, because this is who I am.”

Seconds later, a woman came up and said she'd seen Swift play an event in Hawaii, and asked if she remembered? “Hawaii?! Of course I remember,” said Swift, delighted and seemingly surprised all over again. Then she gave the woman a big hug.

Guess who's the new face of Cover Girl??

Taylor Swift, obvs!

The country cutie just landed a cosmetic deal to be their new celebrity endorser, and soon you will see her fresh face on television, print and in-store advertising.

General manager for Cover Girl, Vince Hudson, spoke of Swifty saying:

"Taylor is beautiful, inspiration with an effortless-chic style, making her the perfect person to represent a new, luxurious collection of products debuting on Cover Girl next year."

Taylor is really excited about being the new model as she has said that she's a self-professed "make-up junkie." When describing her look, she says,

“I like a natural look in my everyday life, when I’m going to the grocery store or hanging out at my house in Nashville. When I go onstage, I get to play with my look. So you get to play around with all these different characters, and I think that’s one of my favorite things about makeup - you can put on a new character."

Get it, gurl! We think you're the perfect new Cover Girl!

High School student bestulen på ritning av Taylor

taylorswift-3jpg-feadd23519c4c5a3_large.jpg

Taylor Swift fans are under suspicion.
A student’s prize-winning, color-pencil drawing of the Grammy-winning country music star disappeared while on display at Fashion Square Mall in Saginaw Township Wednesday.

High School administrators believe it may have been the target of an art heist.

Freeland High School senior Justin Burns spent an estimated 30 hours on the project and won “best of show” of all of the submissions by his schoolmates, said Tamara S. Klida, 41, the school’s art teacher.

“It was a beautiful drawing using color pencils,” she said. “And it almost looked like a photograph if you step back a couple feet.”

Klida reported the theft to mall security.

“I don’t think it was random, because I don’t think anything else was stolen from the mall,” Klida said.

“I’m pretty it was someone who either loved Taylor Swift or really thought that drawing was something special, which it was. Amazing.”

The piece was on display as part of the 23rd Annual Saginaw County Art Exhibit, where it hung among hundreds of entries from schools throughout Saginaw County.

A reward poster now hangs in the empty slot where Taylor Swift’s likeness was displayed.

Burns’ art teacher is donating $50 of her own money, and Ruth Ann Knapp, 66, of Saginaw, a chairwoman for the event, said the piece may be returned to the mall security desk with “no questions asked.”

Anyone with information about the disappearance is asked to contact Tamara Klida at Freeland High School, 695-6586.

A similar theft occurred about 10 years ago at the art show, but “it is very rare,” Knapp said.

“He (Burns) really handled it rather well,” Klida said. “I think he was kind of shocked, but he didn’t freak out or anything. He was just really kind of surprised that someone would take it.”

Burns could not be reached for comment.

But Klida said Burns is a gifted artist who’s been offered scholarships to attend Kendall College of Art and Design in Grand Rapids, though his college plans remain undetermined.

Burns, a National Honors Society member and soccer player, “didn’t even take his first art class until his junior year, last year, and it was pretty evident right away that he had phenomenal drawing abilities, whatever it was that he drew, and so he pursued it,” Klida said.

Fame Comic Book Taylor Swift!

För någon vecka eller så skrev jag ett inlägg att Taylor kommer vara med i en serieboken FAME som släpps i Juni, och la upp tre bilder till det.
Här kommer lite mer detaljerat och ett till omslag som kan tänkas för boken!

Taylor Swift comic

eller denna (som jag la upp tidigare)

Taylor Swift comic

"To say that Taylor Swift is riding a winning streak is an understatement. The singer/songwriter was named Billboard Magazine's Artist of the Year in 2009. She began her 2010 by winning the Grammy for Album of the Year for her sophomore album, Fearless. That album has spent more time at number-one on the Billboard charts than has any other album since 2000.

Såhär skriver justjared om detta!

Taylor Swift is joining mentor Faith Hill as a new face for CoverGirl!

The 20-year-old country cutie will be the face of a yet-to-be-revealed product line, according to the company, via WWD.

Taylor shared about her own makeup likes, “I like a natural look in my everyday life, when I’m going to the grocery store or hanging out at my house in Nashville. When I go on stage, I get to play with my look…You get to play around with all these different characters, and I think that’s one of my favorite things about makeup - you can put on a new character.”

Vince Hudson, general manager for the brand, added, “Taylor is beautiful and inspirational with an effortless-chic style, making her the perfect person to represent a new, luxurious collection of products debuting on CoverGirl next year.”
