Glendale, Arizona Night 2

Keds Fan Questions


Keds has released video of Taylor answering fan questions about her personal style! Taylor answers a few questions including who her style icon is, her favorite outfit on the Red tour and what working with her stylist for the past six years has been like. There’s also a few rapid fire questions which are always fun! You can check out the video below.


Taylor By Taylor Swift


Taylor will be launching a new fragrance in June! It was revealed exclusively to People Magazine that Taylor has a created a new fragrance named Taylor by Taylor Swift. The new fragrance seems very different from Wonderstruck and Wonderstruck Enchanted, as Taylor describes it as a more grown up modern fragrance. The design for the bottle also features one of Taylor’s favorite accessories, pearls! Check out the promotional photo for the fragrance below!
Between the world tours, Keds partnership, awards show sweeps and Instagramming her cat, we don’t know how Taylor Swift finds time to come out with new fragrances.
And yet, she does. The singer follows up her Wonderstruck and Wonderstruck Enchanted scents with Taylor by Taylor Swift, a scent which Swift calls “a mix of a lot of things: It’s sweet, it’s sophisticated, it draws you in. It’s really my way of translating classic, yet modern, into a perfume.”
Swift says that each of her fragrances has reflected a time in her life, so this one is a little more grown up. “My first two fragrances were more about fairytales,” she says, “but this fragrance is more about my own style, so I wanted the name to be more personal.”

Billboard Interview

EDIT: We’ve also added scans from Billboard Magazine of Taylor’s interview!
The biggest stars in music lit up the stage of Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena for the Billboard Music Awards. But no one beamed brighter than Taylor Swift, who netted eight awards. Accepting her gold statue for top artist, Swift gave props to the 3.7 million fans who purchased “Red” and drove her across-the-board victories: “Thank you for making my music the soundtrack to your crazy emotions,” she said. “You are the longest and best relationship I’ve had.”
She also premiered her new single, “22,” in one of the night’s most spirited performances, which kicked off in her dressing room and wound its way through the audience before hitting the stage. Ditching her glittering blue Zuhair Murad mini-dress for a unicorn-emblazoned T-shirt and shorts, Swift sang of the joys of being her tender age, surrounded by a full posse (including members of two mainstay Vegas acts, Cirque du Soleil and Jabbawockeez). Billboard checked in with Swift just days after the show, as she was already back in the thick of her current U.S. tour.

“Highway Don’t Care” Music Video!

div class="content">
The music video for Highway Don’t Care just premiered! It was revealed today through an exclusive google + hangout that Tim McGraw held in Nashville. During the chat, a fan asked Tim about Taylor and he said he is a big fan of hers and admires her as a songwriter. Taylor looks absolutely beautiful in the music video, and it focuses on a very strong subject matter (texting and driving). It is a very emotionally charged music video which features a very graphic car accident. Check out the video below!
