You know what genuinely surprised me last week? I was surprised that Emma Watson?s speech on feminism and gender equality at the United Nations became such a huge deal. The video (and text) went viral and it seemed like everybody had an opinion about it. While I thought Emma?s speech was very good, I really didn?t think it was groundbreaking in the least. I mean, she didn?t throw down any feminist gauntlets or anything like that. She just eloquently described feminism and how it affects her life. Anyway, Taylor Swift has only recently self-identified as feminist and she too has some thoughts on Emma?s speech. Swifty gave an interview to the French-Canadian talk show Tout Le Monde En Parle (you can see the video here). Some assorted quotes:
Swifty on watching Emma?s speech: ?I wish I was 12 years old and I?d been able to watch a video of my favorite actress explaining in such an intellectual, beautiful, poignant way the definition of feminism because I would have understood it and then earlier on in my life I would have proudly claimed that I was a feminist because I would?ve understood what the word means.?
Gender equality: ?The one thing I do believe as a feminist is that in order for us to have gender equality we have to stop making it a girl fight and we have to stop being so interested in seeing girls trying to tear each other down ? it has to be more about cheering each other on as women.?
On how many girls don?t understand what feminism means: ?So many girls out there say ?I?m not a feminist? because they think it means something angry or disgruntled or complaining. They picture like rioting and picketing, it is not that at all, it just simply means that you believe that women and men should have equal rights and opportunities? To say you?re not a feminist means that you think men should have more rights and opportunities than women.?
Her view on sexism in the media: ?I think when it comes to females in the media you?ll see something that kind of upsets me which is that females are pinned up against each other more so than men. You know you never see ?vote for who has the better butt – this actor or this actor.? It?s always this female singer and this female singer.?
Female artists expressing their sexuality: ?I think that no other female artist should be able to tell me to wear less clothes and I?m not going to tell any other female artist to wear more clothes. As long as it?s their idea, and they?re expressing their sexuality or they?re expressing their strength or it makes them feel like a woman to perform a certain way or dress a certain way? as long as it?s coming from them and they?re living their life on their own terms, I cheer them on.
[From Buzzfeed]
Our little Swifty is growing up, y?all. Her explanation of how she views gender equality and sexism are much, much better. Taylor used to be one of those girls who thought ?feminist? equaled ?man-hating.? Then Lena Dunham (of all people) converted Swifty to feminism, but Swifty still couldn?t explain it properly. She?s made significant improvements very quickly. Good for her!

Taylor Swift has been doing photo-ops with her youngest kitty, Olivia Benson, for more than a week now. The paparazzi are always outside of Swifty?s apartment building, so they?ve gotten three different sets of photos on multiple days of Swifty carrying Olivia in her arms. There is no kitty carrier, no leash, nothing to protect the cat if Olivia decides she wants no part in Swifty?s album promotion. People have shown some concern. But Swifty says it?s all a misunderstanding:
Taylor Swift fans have all seen those paparazzi photos of her walking around New York City apartment carrying her new kitten named Olivia Benson. While there’s been much speculation about this practice — and even suggestions that she’s committing a serious error with such cavalier cat-handling — Swift said there’s a simple explanation.
“The kitten freaks out about being put in the cat carrier … she freaks out when she’s in there,” she told Access Hollywood. “So I was just like, ‘OK, all right, we’re gonna just do this!’”
Swift also noted that she’s not walking the streets of New York City holding her cat on one arm.
“It was like a ten foot walk from my door to the car!” she explained. “What I thought was funny about those pictures is that, like, the cat is looking straight at the cameras!”
[From ABC News]
Yeah, she totally doesn?t answer the most important question: why is Olivia rolling with Swifty?s crew these days? Why does the cat need to leave the house in her mom?s arms three times (at least) in a nine-day time frame? As for Olivia?s hatred of kitty carriers? some cats hate them, some love them. My mom?s Maine Coons love the kitty carriers. Sidenote: I recently picked up one of the Maine Coons, thinking she would be light because she just seems like she?s all-fur and I was astonished by how heavy she is. I would not be able to carry her around like this with one arm. Then again, Swifty?s Scottish Fold kitties are a lot smaller.

Here are some photos of Taylor Swift at the iHeartRadio event over the weekend, where she performed. The tube-top ensemble is Calvin Klein, by the way. She?s probably trying to look like it?s 1989 (ugh). I wish we had the new photos of Swifty taking Olivia Benson the Scottish Fold out for another walk, but we don?t have them! You can see them here. That?s going to be her new thing, her new album promotion. She?s going to walk around New York with her cats.
Anyway, about a week ago, Swifty did something nice for some select group of fans. She invited her fans into her home, she baked them cookies and let them hear her new album. According to E!, Swifty ?said they were allowed to share anything from their experience at the event, with the exception of the song titles and lyrics.? So, obviously, the fans kept their word. The fans have only dished on some of the gossip Swifty served up, like what it was like to date Harry Styles. I?ll admit, this shiz made me laugh.
They only dated for a few months in 2012, but Taylor Swift and Harry Styles quickly became one of the most talked about celebrity couples. Now, with the ?Shake It Off? singer releasing her first new album since the breakup, the exes? relationship has made its way back into the spotlight.
Last weekend, Taylor invited a group of her fans to hang out at her Los Angeles home, where she fed them pizza and hosted a listening party of her upcoming record 1989, which isn?t due out until Oct. 27. During the super-exclusive event, the 24-year-old described the inspiration behind each song, and told attendees they could share details about anything from their experience except song titles and lyrics.
Well, while opening up to her biggest supporters, Taylor apparently spilled some details about what it was like dating the famous boybander. One attendee recalls, ?She described it like trying to build a fire out of two twigs and everyone is yelling at the fire, ?I hate your fire,? and blowing out the sparks.?
[From Star Magazine]
LMAO. Amazing metaphor, Swifty!! That?s such a middle-school way of describing it. But it?s also totally Swifty ? she and Harry burned so brightly, you know. They were fiery and misunderstood but everyone hated their fire and tried to destroy their beautiful fire and that?s why they broke up. Except they really broke up because Swifty was playing games and Harry was over it so he dumped her while they were on vacation.

As my regular readers know, I’ve really come around on Taylor Swift. Who cares if her music is garbage and she still acts like she’s a teenage girl even though she’s 24? Because then she shows up places looking like this, reminding me what’s really important when it comes to ranking pop stars: how much […]

People Magazine has released their Best Dressed List for 2014, and OMG is it bland. Really, ridiculously bland. Taylor Swift is this year?s best dressed lady. YES, that Taylor Swift. To be honest, I think Swifty?s style has greatly improved over the past year, especially since she moved to New York and she?s been doing the millennial Sex & the City thing, with lots of leggy photo-ops in short skirts and good shoes. She?s moved away from J.Mendel princess frocks in pastel colors for EVERY appearance, but let?s not pretend that ?most improved? is the same as ?best dressed.?
When the Style team gathered to choose the Best Dressed Star of the Year, one name kept coming up: Taylor Swift. She seems to have truly hit her style stride in the past 12 months, nailing every off-duty and red carpet look, whether it’s sweet separates or dazzling designer gowns like this Gucci Premire design at the Grammys. And we’re not the only ones giving fashion props to the singer; model BFF Karlie Kloss tells PEOPLE, “She’s got great style. I need to take some notes from her!”
[From People]
You can see People?s Best Dressed package here. The list also includes Blake Lively (ugh), Diane Kruger (word, she?s got awesome style), Jennifer Lopez (she?s glam but there are issues), Emma Stone (I?m okay with that), Lupita Nyong?o (YES), Jessica Alba (basic), Rihanna (??), Emma Watson (???), Chloe Grace Moretz and Kiernan Shipka (she?s fab). I?m sorry, NO Cate Blanchett? Any best-dressed list that does not include La Blanchett is null and void. I also wonder why there?s only ONE woman in her 40s on this list. And what about the over-50 stylish ladies? You know who has great older-lady style? Helen Mirren.

Back in June, Taylor Swift announced that she had gotten her second cat, another Scottish fold kitty. Her first Scottish fold, Meredith Grey, is a few years old and as we know, Swifty totally owns the ?cat lady? stereotype. She named her new kitten Olivia Benson (after the Law & Order: SVU character) and Swifty immediately posted some adorable kitty photos on her Instagram.
So, with that in mind, here?s teenager (in cat years) Olivia Benson, out and about in NYC with Swifty yesterday. You know what these photos remind me of? Poor Mercy Kardashian, rest in peace. Back in 2012, when Kanye West and Kim Kardashian first got together for real, Kanye bought a small, fluffy white kitty for Kim. Kim named her ?Mercy? after Kanye?s single at the time. Kim wandered around Miami carrying poor Mercy and Mercy looked like she was scared to death most of the time. The photo-ops ended quickly and we found out later that Kim gave the cat away, claiming an ?allergy.? And poor Mercy died when she was only 4 months old.
Anyway, sorry to recap the whole Mercy Kardashian saga, but I still don?t understand why anyone carries around their cat in a busy city. While Olivia looks well-behaved (she poses for pap photos just like her mama), you still have a loose cat that you?re walking around with in Manhattan. Still? Olivia is one adorable kitteh.

Here is Taylor Swift ditching her more conservative pencil skirt and matching top in favour of a more risqu ensemble come nightfall in New York City.
She put on a leggy display in tiny high-waisted black and white shorts, paired with a black crop top that showed off her taut midriff.
Taylor tweeted earlier in the day: ?Can someone please invent an app that tells me where I can get the food that I smell in the air? #newyork?
Meanwhile, she is gearing up for the release of her upcoming fifth studio album, 1989, scheduled for release in October.

As we?ve been discussing all week, Taylor Swift covers the new issue of Rolling Stone. The interview has been providing entertainment and eye-rolls for all of the blogs and entertainment media outlets and it?s one of the best Swifty interviews in a while. The piece is also really, really long. And as it turns out, it could have been even longer because Taylor literally would not shut up and she kept providing Rolling Stone with more quotes than they could fit into one standard-issue interview. So RS published an addendum with some of the quotes that didn?t fit in the cover story ? you can read the piece here. Some highlights:
When she started drinking, she would cry listening to Joni Mitchell: “When I first started drinking ? when I was like 21 ? I used to cry about Joni Mitchell all the time after a few glasses of wine,” Swift says. “All my friends would know, once I started crying about Joni Mitchell, it was time for me to go to bed.”
What she did with one walk-in closet in her $20 million Tribeca apartment: “Now it’s my greeting-card writing room!”
Her idea of fun: Swift’s idea of a big Saturday night is watching Titanic at home with her cats.
She?s fine with Selena Gomez: “People think they have my relationships all mapped out. There were all these blogs, like, ‘Are they feuding? Are they fighting?’ Meanwhile Selena and I would be on the phone that night, laughing about it. We let them have that one.”
Her classic look: “I like a more classic look. I always go back to Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Red lipstick and a winged eyeliner ? I think that looks nice.”
Her gift-giving: “The amount of baked goods and needlepoints I’ve gotten from Taylor cannot be counted,” reports Jack Antonoff. She’s baked him multiple batches of cookies (including pumpkin and oatmeal raisin), and she’s made Lena Dunham a button collage and a cross-stitch of a cat. She was also the first person to give the couple a housewarming present when they moved into their new apartment. It was a taxidermied moth.
She thinks she?s good at breaking up with people: “Once you’ve established that someone doesn’t belong in your life, I don’t understand what more there is to talk about. I walk away from things when they’re bad. I don’t stick around to watch them burn to the ground.” She says when she decides a relationship has “become toxic,” “I’ll just check out. Stop communication. I don’t want to scream and yell at someone and give them the opportunity to say I’m crazy, or that I went psycho. No one will ever be able to say I went psycho on them.”
She’s never been in love: “Looking back? Not real love. Not the kind that lasts. I think that’s still ahead of me ? which is really exciting.”
[From Rolling Stone]
Again, there?s tons more in that article that I couldn?t even get to because it?s just SO MUCH SWIFTY. Here?s what I enjoyed: the image of a drunk Swifty crying about Joni Mitchell, the image of Swifty needle-pointing cat-themed pieces for Lena Dunham, the image of Swifty deciding to just convert a walk-in closet into a room dedicated to writing thank-you notes. All of that is really sweet/funny/cute.
Here?s what I didn?t enjoy: the fact that Swifty is still so full of it when it comes to anything romantic. By my count, she?s only broken up with ONE guy in her life and that was Conor Kennedy, the high school kid that she used to check out of school so they could have sex in quaint New England bed-and-breakfast inns in between antiquing. The rest of her boyfriends have dumped her, usually over the phone. ?No one will ever be able to say I went psycho on them.? Jake Gyllenhaal would beg to differ, since she stalked him at the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar party and cornered him by the bathrooms. I?m guessing Harry Styles would have some similar stories too.

Complete this sentence: Fighting over John Mayer?s love is like fighting over _______.
As we discussed yesterday, in her Rolling Stone interview, Taylor Swift gifted us with a blind item about a music industry Mean Girl. Given the specifications of the blind, I thought it was someone like Demi Lovato or Rihanna, but most people thought it was Katy Perry and those people were probably right. Shortly after Swifty?s RS interview dropped, Katy tweeted this:
Watch out for the Regina George in sheep's clothing…
