After a successful performance last year, Victoria?s Secret brought Taylor Swift back for its 2014 Fashion Show held in London, England this evening (December 2).
The ?Trouble? babe posed on the red carpet before taking over the runway to sing her famous tunes. Miss Swift looked smokin? in a white, embellished mini dress that she paired with peep-toe pumps.
Before hitting up the big event, the record-breaking artist took to Instagram to tease fans about her performance and wrote, ?Wonder what I'll be singing at the VS Fashion Show tomorrow...?

Here is Taylor Swift showing off her edgy style on the cover of Lucky magazine?s December/January 2015 issue.
On fame: ?I wanted to make music. I didn?t know that came with this expectation that your whole life is owned by the general public and everything you do is dissected, scrutinized and questioned. Because [people with] a sunny outlook are a lot easier to deal with, be around, befriend and handle than people who are bitter about it. People who are, like, complaining about the life of being a celebrity. It?s a little irritating.?

Here is Taylor Swift striking a fierce poses at the January 2015 issue of ASOS magazine, for which she inspired the story, “How to Be a Supergirl.”
?My friends are the kind of people that have their own lives and their own busy schedules, and that?s why we get along so well,” the “Blank Space” singer told the January issue of ASOS Magazine. “A lot of ?celebrities? surround themselves with these very chic cling-ons, who don?t really have much of a job or a passion; they follow around their celebrity BFF and provide constant affirmation for them, and I?m really not interested in that kind of deal.”

Here is Taylor Swift opening the 2014 American Music Awards on Sunday with her new single, ?Blank Space.? Taking the stage at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles, it marked the first time Swift has performed the track on television.
The theatrical performance was also a MAJOR smash with the crowd who gave Swifty a standing ovation for all of her crazy moves, like “throwing” one of her dancers across the stage!

In case you couldn’t hear the screaming One Direction fans all the way across the country, the 2014 American Music Awards were held last night. And according to my sources, they’re different from the Grammys somehow. Anyway, obviously I didn’t watch them, because I had better things to not do, but here’s one of the […]

It?s gotten to the point where I actually enjoy all of the cutaways to Taylor Swift in the audience during any given music awards show. Swifty is always seated front and center, usually surrounded by notable celebrity friends, and Swifty actually ?performs? as Greek chorus for much of the night. At last night?s AMAs, Swifty was dancing, singing along, and at one point crying (at the Selena Gomez performance). Swifty was there with her BFF Karlie Kloss, but at various times, Selena, Lorde and others were invited in the little Swifty group. No boys allowed!
Swifty didn?t walk the AMA red carpet, probably because she did ?Blank Space? as the first performance of the night. As soon as her performance was done, she changed into this green Michael Kors gown, which? eh. I like her in green. I think this would have been more interesting as a column dress rather than with the netting at the midsection.
Here?s the video of her performance ? is it just me or was the sound quality really crappy for most of the performances? And I didn?t think this was the strongest performance for the start of the show.

Personally, I thought Lorde gave one of the best performances of the night ? she performed ?Yellow Flicker Beat.? Here you go:

I barely recognized Taylor Swift without her signature red lips. Even when she doesn?t do fire-engine red lipstick, she usually goes for darker, bolder lips, so she really does look different in this Lucky Magazine photoshoot. Washed out? but not bad. Anyway, Taylor is still promoting her new album and that apparently involves A) hats and B) incessant talk about how happy she is to be single. I believe she?s happy (-ish) to be single right now, but I think this is just a phase where she talks about boys by talking about the lack of boys in her life. Some highlights from the Lucky piece:
No more fairytale romances: “Wow, I really used to think that happily ever after was a thing. Not in those simple terms?I think that no matter what you find in terms of happiness and compatibility, there’s always going to be a struggle attached to it. I used to believe that you find the one and that’s it: Nothing’s difficult after that. But then again, I know nothing now. I know legitimately nothing about lasting relationship experiences because I don’t have them.”
She?s obsessed with coffee: “Coffee’s a big part of my life. Skinny caramel lattes are a daily thing that I get excited about and I never stop being excited about. So if I could just find one person who I felt that way about?the way I feel about coffee?then I think I’d be in a content relationship.”
Her girlfriends: “A lot of my life has to be protected, just because of the circumstances I’m under. But with my friends there’s absolutely nothing held back. Every detail of every story is told. There’s no editing.”
Fame and privacy: “I wanted to make music. I didn’t know that came with this expectation that your whole life is owned by the general public and everything you do is dissected, scrutinized and questioned. Because [people with] a sunny outlook are a lot easier to deal with, be around, befriend and handle than people who are bitter about it. People who are, like, complaining about the life of being a celebrity. It’s a little irritating.”
The mystery surrounding her belly button: ?I don?t like showing my belly button. When you start showing your belly button then you?re really committing to the midriff thing. I only partially commit to the midriff thing?you?re only seeing lower rib cage. I don?t want people to know if I have one or not. I want that to be a mystery. As far as anyone knows based on my public appearances, they haven?t seen evidence of a belly button. It could be pierced. They have no idea. If I?m going to get some sort of massive tattoo, it?s going to be right next to my belly button because no one?s ever going to see that.?

On the face of it, I see nothing wrong with anything she?s saying now. Swifty is in-process at the moment. She?s still figuring out her life, maturing into womanhood and the whole process is amplified because she?s such a celebrity and because she?s largely working out her life drama in public, in interviews. I?ll kind of admit it ? I find this part of Swifty charming. I?m reminded of her youth and how she?s reached that weird moment in her 20s when she realizes that she was full of sh-t and didn?t know anything just five years previous.
Also ? Swifty is going to perform ?Blank Space? tonight at the AMAs. She?s also receiving The Dick Clark Award for Excellence. Diana Ross will present the award to her!!! That?s crazy to me. But I?m looking forward to seeing what Swifty wears.

Yay, the daily pap sessions have continued for Taylor Swift! I was wondering when we would start seeing Swifty?s autumn/winter styles. She?s still stuck in autumn, even though it felt like the cold, dead hand of winter here on the East Coast this weekend. These photos of Swifty are from Friday. I like the poncho thing and I?m okay with boots. The skinny jeans are blah to me, but she has the legs for them. We should be seeing more of Swifty in NYC for the next few months and then next year, she starts her tour to support 1989. The tickets are already selling like hot cakes. You see, Swifty just has her music these days. She has her music, her money, her girlfriends and her vast real estate portfolio. But that it!! No boyfriend. And for some reason, people are still asking her about boyfriends.
Nothing broke her heart more than this. Taylor Swift opened up to Us Weekly about picking up the pieces after her past relationships, saying all she wanted was for people to focus on her music rather than her love life.
“It broke my heart!” the 1989 singer, 24, tells Us. “I was selling out stadiums and it was all people talked about.” So, after her last relationship (which ended with Harry Styles in early 2013), Swift put boys on the back burner and instead, returned to the recording studio where she diligently worked on her fifth studio album.
After selling 1.28 million copies of 1989 in its first week, Swift has finally reached a point where the world is buzzing about her talent. “Now people talk less about the things that don’t matter,” she tells Us. It’s working: 1989 remains at number one on the Billboard 200 for the second week and is projected to remain at the top spot for a third.
Swift also goes through some of her tracks on the album with Us, including “All You Had to Do Was Stay,” “How You Get the Girl,” and “Wildest Dreams.” The singer-songwriter says “Stay” was inspired not by a real-life romance, but rather a dream.
“I was trying to talk to someone important,” she recalls of the reverie. “And that’s all that would come out of my mouth. I woke up so weirded out!”
She also “totally” agrees with Us that “How You Get the Girl” serves as an instruction manual for men. “It’s written for a guy who has broken up with his girlfriend, then wants her back after six months,” she reveals. “But it’s not going to be as simple as sending a text like, ‘Sup? Miss you.’” She adds, “That won’t work. You need to do all the things I say.”
[From Us Weekly]
?It was all people talked about!? Because it was all SHE talked about! It was all she sang about! And now all she talks about is how she doesn’t have a boyfriend. I read some pro-Swifty piece about which songs on this new album are about Harry Styles, and most Swiftaholics believe that there are at least two or three that Harry specifically. It?s not the whole album, but it?s enough to make you wonder. Like, I wonder if she?s going to need to have at least two boyfriends and bad breakups before she writes the next album. Oh, and you know who is her tour?s opening act? Vance Joy. He?s a cute guy and he would date her and then break her heart properly. I look forward to it.

Taylor Swift scored the cover of the new issue of Time Magazine. Time seems to be doing more and more ?celebrity? and ?entertainer? covers lately, or is that just me? In any case, I do think Swifty is deserving of a Time cover, moreso than nearly any other person in the music industry. She?s a rare pop star still making money the old-fashioned way, with people actually purchasing her music and lining up to for her concerts. She?s one of the best-selling artists of all time and she?s a marketing genius. I think it?s fine that she got a Time cover. You can read the full Time Mag piece here and here are some highlights.
She has no musical role models? ?We?re taught to find examples for the way we want our lives to wind up. But I can?t find anyone, really, who?s had the same career trajectory as mine. So when I?m in an optimistic place I hope that my life won?t match anyone else?s life trajectory, either, going forward. I do have female role models in the sense of actresses like Mariska Hargitay. I think she has a beautiful life, and an incredible career, and I think she?s built that for herself. She?s one of the highest paid actresses?actors in general, women or men?on television, and she?s been playing this very strong female character for, what, 15 years now, something like that. And Ina Garten, the Barefoot Contessa. I really love her business, and how she sticks to who she is, and how people relate to it. In other industries, I have female role models. I just struggle to find a woman in music who hasn?t been completely picked apart by the media, or scrutinized and criticized for aging, or criticized for fighting aging?it just seems to be much more difficult to be a woman in music and to grow older. I just really hope that I will choose to do it as gracefully as possible.
She?s comfortable with being seen as a role model: ?I don?t find a struggle with that balance, being looked at as a role model, because I think it?s a very obvious and natural thing for people to see you as, when you?re a singer. I?ve always felt very comfortable with it, for some reason. That in particular hasn?t been one of my struggles… But it?s the same thing as living your life based on what your grandkids will say one day? I don?t make it as much about the millions of people who would be disappointed if I were to have some sort of meltdown or scandal or something that made everyone feel like my character wasn?t what they thought it was. I think more about the people in my life that would disappoint: my mom, my dad, my kids, if I ever have them. And that way it?s not as much pressure as thinking about the millions of little minds that you must be shaping. I?m trying to live my life with some sort of thoughtfulness put into my actions, but it?s not because I feel like I?m the president of the International Babysitters Club.
On the gossip that she doesn?t write her own music: ?I haven?t heard any of the people I respect in the music industry or in journalism, saying that they think I don?t write my own songs. I think, when I put out Speak Now, which was my third album, and I decided I was just going to write it entirely on my own, to me that was enough of a statement. I felt like I could move on from that. I felt like I had proved my point. That was when I felt free to collaborate with whoever I wanted, because if you actually listen to the music, you can tell that the lyrics are written by the same person. And it?s not a ghostwriter. It?s not some weird, you know?everyone?s got those weird Shakespeare theories that someone else did all his stuff for him. Not to ever compare yourself to Shakespeare. But people need to poke holes in things because of their own stuff. It?s not about me.”
That criticism and feminism: “And we all know it?s a feminist issue. My friend Ed [Sheeran], no one questions whether he writes everything. In the beginning, I liked to think that we were all on the same playing field. And then it became pretty obvious to me that when you have people sort of questioning the validity of a female songwriter, or making it seem like it?s somehow unacceptable to write songs about your real emotions?that it somehow makes you irrational and overemotional?seeing that over the years changed my view. It?s a little discouraging that females have to work so much harder to prove that they do their own things. I see Nicki Minaj and Iggy Azalea having to prove that they write their own raps or their own lyrics, and it makes me sad, because they shouldn?t have to justify it.?
Being a female celebrity & having her body picked over: ?I refuse to buy into these comparisons, because you don?t see it happening to men? If we continue to show young girls that they are being compared to other girls, we?re doing ourselves a huge disservice as a society. I surround myself with smart, beautiful, passionate, driven, ambitious women. Other women who are killing it should motivate you, thrill you, challenge you and inspire you rather than threaten you and make you feel like you?re immediately being compared to them. The only thing I compare myself to is me, two years ago, or me one year ago? You just try to lead by example, and you hope, someday, that if we talk about feminism enough, maybe we?ll start to actually see it make a difference in the way young girls perceive themselves and each other.
[From Time Magazine]
I like the way she speaks in this interview, even if I don?t agree with everything she?s saying. She?s has moments where she can be very wry, right? Like, ?it?s not because I feel like I?m the president of the International Babysitters Club.? That?s a really great line. I?ve said this before, and I?ll keep saying it ? we?re seeing a Tay-Tay in transition. Her thoughts on feminism and the music industry and fame are still not fully formed, but they?re evolving in an interesting direction. But I also think it?s strange that she could not name one woman in the music industry that she would consider a role model, because everyone woman gets criticized, according to Taylor. So, she can only have a role model who never gets criticized? Someone who is always perfect?

When I saw this Wonderland magazine cover yesterday, I barely recognized Taylor Swift. You know why? Because it?s been too long since we?ve seen her without bangs!! I?ve actually gotten used to those horrible, too-thick bangs. I guess Wonderland hates bangs though, because they styled Swifty to look? I don?t even know. More like Cara Delevingne than Karlie Kloss. I?m not sure if these are eyebrow merkins or if they just used that brow-mascara stuff on her. But she?s rocking some full-bush brows. It?s an interesting look! When speaking to the magazine, Swifty talked about Twitter trolls, single life, yadda yadda.
On online trolls: ‘Twitter’s dark underbelly is that it gives people a veil of anonymity: they can have a terrible day at work, feel awful about themselves, come home and get drunk and go call someone ugly on Instagram. If people don?t have anyone to talk to about [their problems], they go online and just say wicked, gross, cruel mean-spirited things about people. I wrote ?Shake It Off? for my own situation, but also for the situation that everyone finds themselves in now. It?s not a celebrity issue, it?s a people issue.’
Her single life: ‘I’ve been with myself for so long now, I like it. I?m not willing to give up that independence for anyone. Basically, there’s the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest chance you might find someone you can have a real and long-lasting relationship with. In my teenage years, I was enamoured by the idea of romance because I thought it was going to be this ?happily ever after? situation.’
Her new album: ‘This was sort of the final phase of the sonic evolution I feel I?ve been on for the last couple of years. I?ve been experimenting with pop sensibilities and then on my last record, I got attached to it. That’s the wonderful thing about trying as many different ways of writing music as possible – discoveries.’
[From Wonderland via The Daily Mail]
I think she?s right about online trolls and how it?s not even a celebrity issue at this point. But I think it?s a woman-issue. I think women are far more likely to get attacked, harassed and threatened online, celebrity or not.
What else is going on in SwiftyWorld? Well, Swifty made Barbara Walters? annual Most Fascinating People list for 2014. This is actually Taylor?s first time on the list (how is that possible?) and the 2014 list includes Chelsea Handler (?????), Oprah (obvs), Neil Patrick Harris (worthy) and Scarlett Johansson.
