Here are some photos of Taylor Swift out and about in NYC yesterday. She went to her giant mansion in Rhode Island for the holiday and brought along all of her girlfriends, plus a couple of boys (Emma Stone brought Andrew Garfield!). I feel like we?ve been oversaturated with Swifty photos and stories lately, but do you realize that it?s going to get so much worse in the coming months? Taylor has been in NYC all this time because she?s working on a new album and it will be coming out soon, probably this fall.
As a preview of coming attractions ? and for further evidence that Tay-Tay is first and foremost a controlled businesswoman who understands marketing and branding at a deep level ? Taylor wrote an op-ed in yesterday?s Wall Street Journal. The piece is all about the future of the music industry and it?s a decent (if lengthy) read ? you can read the full piece here. Swifty?s argument is basically that there?s still a need/desire for big musical acts, for big music, for falling in love with new music. Not only is there still that need, Swifty says, but it can still be profitable.
In recent years, you’ve probably read the articles about major recording artists who have decided to practically give their music away, for this promotion or that exclusive deal. My hope for the future, not just in the music industry, but in every young girl I meet?is that they all realize their worth and ask for it.
Music is art, and art is important and rare. Important, rare things are valuable. Valuable things should be paid for. It’s my opinion that music should not be free, and my prediction is that individual artists and their labels will someday decide what an album’s price point is. I hope they don’t underestimate themselves or undervalue their art.
? However, some artists will be like finding “the one.” We will cherish every album they put out until they retire and we will play their music for our children and grandchildren. As an artist, this is the dream bond we hope to establish with our fans. I think the future still holds the possibility for this kind of bond, the one my father has with the Beach Boys and the one my mother has with Carly Simon.
I think forming a bond with fans in the future will come in the form of constantly providing them with the element of surprise. No, I did not say “shock”; I said “surprise.” I believe couples can stay in love for decades if they just continue to surprise each other, so why can’t this love affair exist between an artist and their fans?
[From The Wall Street Journal]
She?s smart. I?ve never said she wasn?t smart? about music. About her career. I think she might be kind of dumb in love/relationships, but she?s getting better. She?s always been very, very smart about her career and how she interacts with her fans and that?s been very profitable for her. So? good for her, I guess. I?m not sure if I should be nervous or excited about her new album. We?ll see.

She?s got a killer figure and she?s not afraid to show it- Taylor Swift stepped out in New York City yesterday (July 7) looking superfine.
Sporting a matching printed crop top/skirt combo, the ?I Knew You Were Trouble? singer was in good spirits following her fabulous Fourth of July weekend festivities with gal pals like Jaime King, Emma Stone and Lena Dunham.
Meanwhile, Taylor published an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal on Monday regarding the state of the music business.
She wrote, "Before I tell you my thoughts on the matter, you should know that you're reading the opinion of an enthusiastic optimist: one of the few living souls in the music industry who still believes that the music industry is not dying...it's just coming alive? Fans are buying only the [albums] that hit them like an arrow through the heart or have made them feel strong or allowed them to feel like they really aren't alone in feeling so alone."
"There are always going to be those artists who break through on an emotional level and end up in people's lives forever. The way I see it, fans view music the way they view their relationships. Some music is just for fun, a passing fling (the ones they dance to at clubs and parties for a month while the song is a huge radio hit, that they will soon forget they ever danced to). Some songs and albums represent seasons of our lives, like relationships that we hold dear in our memories but had their time and place in the past."
Swift continued, "However, some artists will be like finding 'the one.? We will cherish every album they put out until they retire and we will play their music for our children and grandchildren. As an artist, this is the dream bond we hope to establish with our fans. I think the future still holds the possibility for this kind of bond, the one my father has with the Beach Boys and the one my mother has with Carly Simon."

Here is Taylor Swift getting hotter and hotter while step out and about in New York City.
Swifty balanced out the sexiness of the top with a demure, though hip-skimming, knee-length skirt and very sensible heels. Indeed, these are the types of heels a grandma might wear!

Heading out for another lovely day in the Big Apple, Taylor Swift went for a stroll earlier this week (July 3).
The "Trouble" gal looked incredibly darling in a floral-print romper with a pair of complimentary mustard yellow pumps.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Miss Swift boosted support for her pal Ed Sheeran and the release of his new album X.
"If you're on the fence about buying Ed Sheeran's new album, X, allow me to convince you with this image," Taylor posted along with a photo of the red-headed singer and a cute kitty.

As you guys probably could’ve guessed, I’m not a fan of Taylor Swift‘s songs, but I’m a total die-hard when it comes to her weekly leg shows. And here she is putting on one of her best yet. So if anyone’s wondering what to get me for my birthday this year, I’d love front-row tickets […]

A few weeks ago, I pointed out something that I thought was pretty obvious: that Taylor Swift just goes to the gym in NYC to get pap?d, not to work out. The story/confirmation came from Star Magazine. They claimed that Swifty never works out because she?s naturally skinny, but she just wants to be seen as ?the girl who goes to the gym.? So she goes to the gym, hangs out there, drinks a smoothie and primps, then walks out so the photographers can get some glamour shots of her NYC street style. Well, these are new photos of Swifty? leaving the gym on Tuesday. Do you think she worked out? Or do you think she just wanted everybody to look at her outfit? Her outfit is cute though.
But I did want to point out another wrinkle ? I do think Taylor is aware of the rumors that she?s not really working out. On Monday, she got pap?d leaving the gym with wet hair. Like, she showered after a tough workout and she wanted people to see that. Us Weekly even has a source who claims that Swifty has been working with Karlie Kloss?s trainer at ModelFIT and Swifty ?really wants that model body.? Swifty already has a model-y body and I hope she doesn?t want to lose weight. She looks fine. She has a lovely figure. It?s just her weird, crazy, cat-lady brain that I worry about.

She?s never afraid to take sartorial risks, and yesterday (July 1) Taylor Swift scored big with her vintage getup.
Finishing up a workout session at her gym in New York City, the ?I Knew You Were Trouble? songstress got all gussied up before stepping out onto the street.
Taylor opted for a yellow houndstooth cropped sweater teamed with a mint green flare skirt and 1950s-style modest heels, all of which flattered her 5-foot-10-inch frame.
Last week, Swift helped give her buddy Ed Sheeran?s new album X a boost by posting a picture of him nuzzling her cat Meredith. She captioned the shot, ?If you're on the fence about buying Ed Sheeran's new album, X, allow me to convince you with this image.?

Given her worldwide fame and jet-setting lifestyle, Taylor Swift needs a pet that?s well-suited to constant travel.
And it looks like the ?I Knew You Were Trouble? actress has found the perfect feline to keep up with her hectic schedule
Taylor posted a video of her new kitten Olivia Benson completely knocked out while flying on a private plane to some far-off destination.
?I?m on the plane. This is happening. I don?t even know how this is happening. She?s a really aggressive sleeper,? Swift narrated.
Meanwhile, Taylor?s other cat Meredith tweeted a message on her kitty Twitter account in hopes that Swift wouldn?t forget about her now that the new pet has arrived- ?Love me too pls? All the young things line up to take your plaaaacee??

I may not be a big fan of Taylor Swift‘s music, at least not until she writes a hit single about our divorce, but there’s not a single pop star out there who puts on a better leg show on such a consistent basis. So here’s Taylor out in New York showing off those perfect […]
