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.’

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.

You know, I spend so much time on Taylor Swift‘s legs every time I do a post on her that I don’t think I ever noticed before that her upper half looked this good stuffed into a tight dress too. But here she is heading into Good Morning America and I’ve gotta say, I’m impressed. […]

Just when we thought she was out of surprises, Taylor Swift showed up at ABC Studios in New York City this morning (November 11) with even more goodies.
The ?Welcome To New York? songstress dropped by ?Good Morning America? to announce a new interactive app that allows fans to immerse themselves in her just-released ?Blank Space? music video.
Taylor?s app takes viewers way past the point of the original clip and lets them find forty-one secret trinkets hidden around Oheka Castle as part of a game.
Furthermore, Swifty and her man are only two of many characters in the storyline, and the app unlocks the tales of the butler, the maid and various other players.
The American Express Unstaged: Taylor Swift app is free and available for both iPhone and Android devices!

Considering I?m not a Swiftaholic, I?ve only heard three singles off of Taylor Swift?s latest album: ?Shake It Off,? ?Out of the Woods? and her current hit single, ?Blank Space.? I put ?Blank Space? in my #2 position, after my favorite ?Out of the Woods? and above ?Shake It Off,? which I really don?t like. I understand why ?Shake It Off? was the first single though ? it?s one of the most radio-friendly songs ever. Anyway, Swifty dropped the music video for ?Blank Space? and WOW, she really spent some money on this video. That was my first reaction. My second was? oh, she?s making fun of herself and how people think she behaves in relationships. Taylor can make fun of herself? but only when there are very narrow parameters and she?s the one controlling the ?joke.? After all, there?s a special place in hell for women who don?t help other women.
Right? They really spent money on this video. Which is nice, because Swifty is a princess and people love to see her play dress-up. As for the ?message? of this video/song? I?m tapped out. If Swifty wants to make fun of her image, go ahead. If she wants to pretend to be the crazy girlfriend, she probably doesn?t have to try too hard. God bless.
Meanwhile, Harry Styles chimed in on the fact that several of the songs on this album are about his brief fling with Swifty. ?Out of the Woods? is definitely about Harry, as is ?Style,? apparently. Harry was nice about it, saying:
“We write from personal experience. I think everyone does. So it would be hypocritical of us to be like, ‘Oh, you can’t write about us.’ She’s really good, so… they’re good songs. So I’m really lucky in that sense.”

I think this is probably the best way to handle it if you?re a guy and you broke up with Taylor Swift at some point in your life. Just acknowledge that she?s like a gossipy middle-schooler who overanalyzes brief flings like they are the most significant things ever and then just shrug.

It has been an amazing couple of weeks for Taylor Swift as her new album 1989 sold almost 1.3 copies in its first seven days.
And as an added bonus, YouTube user Thomas Jung set Swifty?s hit ?Shake It Off? to a video from the 1988 Crystal Light National Aerobic Championship.
The result is one of the most entertaining and mood-enhancing experiences of the year, and even Taylor digs it- she tweeted a link with the message, ?A sneak peak at the official "Shake It Off" choreography for the 1989 World Tour.?
Jung, who has scored 2 million views so far, captioned the video, ?I guess everyone was wrong when they said Taylor?s songs were about her exes.?

Earlier this week, Taylor Swift's fans were shocked when they could no longer stream her back catalog on the Spotify website, and the ?Out of the Woods? songstress says she?s sticking to her guns.
Swift sold over 1.2 million copies of her new album 1989 in its first week, and she noted that while she wants everyone to hear her music, she also wants to be fairly compensated for her hard work.
In an interview with Yahoo! Music, Taylor explained, "If I had streamed the new album, it's impossible to try to speculate what would have happened. But all I can say is that music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.?
?And I'm not willing to contribute my life's work to an experiment that I don't feel fairly compensates the writers, producers, artists, and creators of this music. And I just don't agree with perpetuating the perception that music has no value and should be free."
Furthermore, "A lot of people were suggesting to me that I try putting new music on Spotify with ?Shake It Off,? and so I was open-minded about it. I thought, 'I will try this; I'll see how it feels.' It didn't feel right to me. I felt like I was saying to my fans, 'If you create music someday, if you create a painting someday, someone can just walk into a museum, take it off the wall, rip off a corner off it, and it's theirs now and they don't have to pay for it.' I didn't like the perception that it was putting forth. And so I decided to change the way I was doing things."

She can?t hardly believe her good fortune, as Taylor Swift moved a massive 1.287 million units of 1989 in the first week of sales.
The ?Out of the Woods? babe posted a celebratory cell phone video during which she drives while lip syncing Kendrick Lamar's ?Backseat Freestyle.?
Taylor also added the caption, ?Industry experts predicted 1989 would sell 650k first week,? wrote Swift on Instagram. ?You went and bought 1.287 million albums. AND IT?S GOT ME LIKE?
Meanwhile, Kendrick is a fan of Taylor, too, as he told The Fader he?s digging ?Shake It Off?- ?I love that song. I ain?t playin?- I say what I mean and I mean what I say.?

Showing some love for her Japanese fans, Taylor Swift jetted in to Narita Airport just outside of Tokyo on Tuesday (November 4).
The ?Welcome to New York? songstress, who just announced her 2015 world tour, was bright-eyed and bushy-tailed despite her long international flight, and looked flawless in a green minidress with black stockings and black heels.
And while her latest album 1989 is flying off the shelves, Taylor somehow became involved in a political race in Iowa after sitting Senator Tom Harkin slammed hopeful Joni Ernst for being ?as good looking as Taylor Swift.?
Republican candidate Ernst fired back at Harkin for demeaning her just because she?s an attractive woman. ?I think it?s unfortunate that [Harkin] and many of their party believe that you can?t be a real woman if you?re conservative and if you?re female. Again, I am greatly offended about that.?

Her latest album 1989 is predicted to sell 1.2 million copies for its first week, but Taylor Swift is feeling a little slighted all the same.
The ?Out of the Woods? songstress reportedly pulled her music off of the Spotify streaming service where up until now her fans could listen to all of her songs for free.
Spotify responded with a note on their website- ?We love Taylor Swift, and our more than 40 million users love her even more ? nearly 16 million of them have played her songs in the last 30 days, and she?s on over 19 million playlists.?
?We hope she?ll change her mind and join us in building a new music economy that works for everyone. We believe fans should be able to listen to music wherever and whenever they want, and that artists have an absolute right to be paid for their work and protected from piracy. That?s why we pay nearly 70% of our revenue back to the music community.?
They added, ?PS ? Taylor, we were both young when we first saw you, but now there?s more than 40 million of us who want you to stay, stay, stay. It?s a love story, baby, just say, Yes.?
Additionally, there are several new playlists that have messages to Swifty contained within the song titles- ?Hey Taylor, we wanted to play your amazing love songs and they?re not here right now. We want you back with us and so do your fans.?

Taylor Swift was a ?pegacorn? for Halloween. No, it?s not a sex thing (but it sounds like it, right?). Swifty is a Pegasus + unicorn = pegacorn. She wanted to be a unicorn with wings. It?s sort of cute. I?m glad she didn?t go for a Sexy Maid/Nurse/Whatever. I?d much rather see women dressed up as pegacorns rather than sexy whatevers.
Anyway, Taylor had a really amazing week. Her album, 1989, dropped and it became the first and only platinum-album debut of the year. This is actually a two-fer: the last time an artist went platinum in their first week was 2012, when Taylor released Red. Taylor?s label, Republic Records, threw her a ?private party? in Soho last Thursday to celebrate. There were gormet white truffle burgers and a cake shaped like a Polaroid camera.
Vulture also had a great analysis on Taylor Swift?s earnings, real estate, album sales and tour grosses ? go here to read. By their analysis, Swifty is probably sitting on just shy of $200 million after taxes. My guess? It?s probably a lot more than that. Taylor tops nearly every list of the top-grossing tours, albums, etc. Anyway? it?s good to be Tay-Tay. It?s profitable to be twee.
Last thing ? Taylor was on Ryan Seacrest?s radio show and she danced and lip-sync?d to Iggy Azalea. It was brilliantly awkward, hilariously dorky and everything in between. This is the kind of thing where I go? ?Okay, maybe she might be sort of fun as a friend.?
