^Thank You for the pics. I didn't even know she performed.

Her interview in the NY Times:

You grew up in Pennsylvania, and yet you fell in love with country music at a young age. What did you hear that attracted you to country?

“If you listen to my albums, it’s like reading my diary.”

Screen Test: Taylor SwiftLeAnn Rimes. I heard “Blue” by LeAnn Rimes, and that song resonated with me. It was nine years ago. She was young — around 14 — and I was about 10 when I heard it and she was doing these things that I could only dream about doing. There was something just so motivating about that.

Did you know what, or where, Nashville was?

I was watching a special on TV about the singer Faith Hill, and she talked about how she went to Nashville. That’s the moment that I realized that Nashville is where you need to be if you want to sing country music. And so every day I would beg my parents nonstop: “We need to go to Nashville. Can we please go to Nashville?” When I was 11, we went during spring break. I had been singing karaoke and I competed in karaoke competitions. So, I had this little demo CD of me singing karaoke music, and my mom would pull up outside one of the record labels on Music Row in Nashville and I would run in and say to the receptionist, “Hi, I’m Taylor. I’m 11. I want a record deal. Call me.”

Did you wear a cowboy hat?

No. My hair was always too big for that. I wore jeans and probably some sort of sparkly shirt.

How did your classmates regard your music?

I didn’t really have that many friends at school. Kids would just heckle me: “Oh, go sing that country beep.” It just dawned on me that I had to love being different or else I was going to end up being dark and angry and frustrated by school. Sometimes I felt like I was some sort of spy because I would go to school during the day, and then, after school, I had this life that was completely different. I definitely was more nervous walking into my first day of freshman year in high school than I was walking up to record labels and handing them my CD. In school, I learned to stop talking about music because they didn’t like it when I did. I led a double life. I kind of started to live in fear when I would sing the national anthem at the 76ers game. If there was a write-up about it the next day in our local paper, I knew it was gonna be a bad day at school for me.

Your mother loved Def Leppard. She played that nonstop when she was pregnant with you.

I love Def Leppard! It’s comforting for me to listen to them. I love a great song. If that great song is by 50 Cent, I’ll listen to it.

You started writing songs when you were 12, and nearly all your songs are autobiographical. Was that a way of coping with being an outsider at school?

Absolutely. I would sit on the edge of class and watch people interact with each other. I’d watch guys flirt with cool girls and I would watch best friends talk, and I would go home and write about it. If you listen to my albums, it’s like reading my diary.

And you always use real names in your songs.

I don’t hesitate — people who have no idea that I have a crush on them won’t find out through me telling them, but they will find out when they hear their name in a song. There was this guy who opened a couple of shows for me on tour and I talked to him a couple of times, but he never knew that I liked him. So I wrote this song called “Hey Stephen,” and when my album came out, I sent him a text message: “Hey, Track 5.” It was so funny. He sent me back a long e-mail saying, “Oh, my God!”

You recently finished filming a movie called “Valentine’s Day.” Did you like acting?

Yes, but it’s a small part. I play the kind of girl I didn’t like in high school. She’s forced to go to gym class and doesn’t want to be there. The director, Garry Marshall, was wonderful — and both of our lucky numbers are 13, so we talked about that most of the time.

Do you still sing karaoke?

No. But if I were to do karaoke, it would probably be something from “Grease” ! I’d sing “You’re the One That I Want” — or Def Leppard. Whenever I hear Def Leppard, I just freak out.

Beautiful dress....i love the shoulder detail, this is a more mature choice than she's made in a while. it's refreshing to see her in something other than a little glittery gold dress.

 

[StarsInHerEyes]

Thanks for the pictures! I love her outfit, especially the embellished shoulders. She could definitely teach other young stars how to dress classy, young and fresh. Most just dress old and skanky.

Taylor Swift's Fearless Returns to No. 1

December 5, 2009; Written by Edward Morris

Now sporting a "4" beside its title to indicate that it's shipped 4 million copies to record stores, Taylor Swift's Fearless rebounds to the top of Billboard's country albums chart, elbowing aside Carrie Underwood's Play On, which held No. 1 for the past three weeks

I only posted the ones that had Taylor in them.

Taylor Swift & John Mayer: Nobu Booth Buddies

Musical mates Taylor Swift and John Mayer leave the party behind them at Nobu as they part ways in NYC on Tuesday evening (December 8).

The duo were spotted chatting up a storm together at the VEVO launch party. Taylor and John sat alone in a booth by the window, catching up on their recent adventures and looked like they were having a great time.

John recently shared with Access Hollywood about Taylor’s humility. “It’s great to have someone who’s hugely talented and still is able to receive the pleasure in all moments,” he said.

She wore Antik Batik Embellished Shoulder Dress and (I think) Christian Louboutin Pigalle Patent Pumps to the Vevo launch party:
