Flashing that seductive smile while out in West Hollywood, Taylor Swift did some shopping alongside her bodyguard on Friday (January 3).
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" hottie was beautiful in a tight black top, tiny plaid skirt and leggings, flashing her pearly whites behind those sexy, cherry-red lips.

Taylor Swift spent a lot of time in her wedding-cake-looking Rhode Island mega-mansion in 2013. She was on tour most of the year, but whenever she had a break in her schedule, she would go to Rhode Island, usually bringing along a huge group of friends. They would party, Swifty-style ? which includes a lot of wholesome face-painting, dancing and baking, from what I gather. Unfortunately, Taylor?s Rhode Island mansion has become the source of a lot of pain and anxiety, for her and for her neighbors. Apparently, whenever Taylor was in residence, her security guards would stop and harass people trying to gain access to the public beach which abuts her property. Her security people even stopped volunteers from cleaning up the beach too. So, there were problems. And the problems have just gotten worse.
For days now, TMZ and Radar have been tracking a story about Swifty doing some kind of major landscaping work on her property. The gist seems to be that Swifty is constructing a ?massive perimeter wall? around her property, and the whole thing is changing the coastline and it?s going to make life more difficult for people trying to access the beach. There?s been a lot of back-and-forth about whether Swifty got the proper permits, or whether she?s actually just re-doing something that used to be part of the original property. Here?s TMZ?s story:
Taylor Swift is screwing with the coastline in a small Rhode Island community … and pissing off neighbors in the process … but Taylor’s people say what she’s doing is perfectly legal. Swift is building a massive perimeter wall around her castle in Westerly, Rhode Island, moving tons of coastline rocks in the process.
One neighbor tells TMZ, “It was bad enough when she moved in, but to ruin a part of the town for all of us … this is a whole new level of hate.”
Surfers in the area tell TMZ … the wall under construction around Taylor’s 11,000 square foot mansion is messing with the wave break in Westerly.
And some residents are grousing … the wall she’s building is taking away public access that they have enjoyed for years.
We’re getting multiple, conflicting stories from government workers and residents … but from Taylor’s point of view … her people say government officials actually asked her to move some of the rocks that had drifted into the ocean back to her property line and that’s what residents are seeing. They also claim the wall she’s building is in the same spot as the original wall that was constructed decades ago but eroded over time.
It appears the prior owners built a wall closer to the mansion, but it was destroyed last year during Hurricane Sandy and now Taylor is building where the original wall had been. Problem is — the residents are used to having the beach they will no longer enjoy.
Also … officials say Taylor obtained all necessary permits.
[From TMZ]
The problem? A Connecticut newspaper claims that Swifty did NOT get the proper permits and that the wall under construction is much too big and gaudy. But! After that newspaper report, Laura Dwyer, the spokeswoman for the Rhode Island Coastal Resources Management Council, told media outlets: “The larger boulders were historically there. We have photograph evidence from previous property owners that they were there, but they were covered with sand. When the applicant came in with plans, they were proposing to leave those rocks way out in the water. We were the ones who asked them to get those boulders as close to the seaward side of that concrete wall as possible.” Huh. It sounds like Swifty did her due diligence and some Rhode Islanders are just pissed off in general. Gotta love prissy New England real estate wars!
Here are some photos of Swifty during Christmas and New Year?s. She spent New Year?s with Sarah Hyland (from Modern Family). That?s something that I do like about Swifty ? she actively seeks out female friendships with young women her own age.

Here are some photos of Taylor Swift?s 24th birthday celebration in Melbourne, Australia ? she posted these on her Facebook. Look closely at the photos? that?s Lorde! Lorde and Swifty are now friends! Actually, they?ve been tight for at least a month, I think. Apparently, they spent time together in NYC in November, and then Lorde and Swifty had dinner in Melbourne last week when Swifty was on tour.
You might remember, this fall Lorde gave an interview about her belief system and her feminism and she ended saying: ?Taylor Swift is so flawless, and so unattainable, and I don?t think it?s breeding anything good in young girls. ?I?m never going to be like Taylor Swift, why can?t I be as pretty as Lorde?? That?s f?? bulls–t.? Which isn?t exactly shade ? it?s more like a backhanded compliment combined with a rather nuanced social critique. But everyone was like ?Lorde hates Swifty!? and so Lorde came out later and clarified what she said and made an even more nuanced argument about ?Photoshop culture? and the responsibility artists have to their fans. So? I guess all is forgiven between Lorde and Swifty. Lorde got an invite to Swifty?s b-day party so now they?re besties.
So, what do you think Swifty and Lorde talk about? I’m actually somewhat surprised that they would have anything to talk about because Swifty just seems so… boy-crazy. Like, in my mind, Swifty only talks about boys, cats and clothes. Meanwhile, Lorde is in the corner, reading the collected works of Erica Jong.

Here are Taylor and her mother Andrea shopping out in Auckland. The mother and daughter looked like they shopped until they dropped… but Taylor does have a huge new house to fill.
The young singer recently bought an oceanfront $17 million mansion in Watch Hill, an affluent coastal town in Rhode Island.

Here are some photos from last night?s Winter Whites Gala held at Kensington Palace. The dinner, I believe, was held in Prince William and Duchess Kate?s newly refurbished ?apartment? ? which is just a mansion within a palace. The big controversy, which we discussed a few weeks ago, was that the invitations went out and everybody was making a big deal about William and Kate cohosting their first gala at KP and la de da, and then the charity had to apologize because, you see, Kate was not going to be in attendance. I believe Kate was originally going to do it but she decided not to for whatever reason, like she wanted to visit her mom or something. Maybe some more ?secret? charity visits.
So William was flying solo at the Winter Whites Gala. But Taylor Swift was there! And so was the Black Widow Crawley (Michelle Dockery). Who will William choose? The haughty brunette or the scheming blonde? Hmmm? Swifty “won” William though – she got to sing “Living On a Prayer” with William & Jon Bon Jovi:
Taylor?s dress is Reem Acra, by the way. It?s pretty on her, and the neckline is different than her usual look. You can really see the bolt-ons, but at least they?re not, like, ridiculous on her frame. Tay-Tay didn?t just attend, she performed for the audience too. She told media outlets:
“It’s positively magical here,” Swift told reporters of the Winter Whites Gala. “There are fairy lights and there is fake snow falling from the sky and everything is just gorgeous. I am just very lucky to be here.”
As for performing for royalty, the pop star added, “I am so excited. I don’t think I have ever played in a palace before. So it will be really wonderful. This evening is so special … it is for a charity that as well as being very important to Prince William is also very important to me.”
Swift added that William, who had left wife Kate at home with little Prince George, “was really funny. So cool.”
[From People]
Tay-Tay is such a princess. She?s so jazzed to be in a palace, surrounded by fairy lights and performing for a prince. Now if we could just throw her at Prince Harry. That would be interesting, wouldn?t it? Physically, Taylor is Harry?s type, easily. But personality-wise? I suspect Harry doesn?t go for ?twee? women.
As for the gala, it benefited Centrepoint, the homeless charity that William has worked with since 2005. I believe Centrepoint was one of his first charity patronages. I believe that this is one the causes William truly cares about, probably because it reminds him so strongly of what his mother cared about. It?s a shame Kate wasn?t there to raise money as well. Maybe she had a hair appointment.
PS… Benedict Cumberbatch was there too, but I’m saving him for a separate Thanksgiving Eve post.

Here are some photos from last night?s American Music Awards, which apparently was a who?s who of pop music acts. Everybody showed up, which is preferable to the crap show at this year?s VMAs this past September. If you?re looking for a trend from last night?s fashion, I would say that many of the women were doing some 1970s styles. Lots of Halston-looking gowns and jumpsuits, lots of long, straight hair or feathered Farrah hair. Like Taylor Swift, who totally looks like one of Charlie?s Angels here. Taylor wore this sparkly gold Julien Macdonald and you know what? I don?t hate it. Mostly because I?m tired of her princess gowns and bridal couture, so it?s fun to see her in something that makes her look like Barbarella. Tay-Tay won Best Country Album, Artist of the Year and Favorite Female Country Artist. You can see the full list of winners here.
More fashion photos? Ariana Grande in sparkly Dolce & Gabbana. She?s very pretty and this isn?t a terrible dress, but everything feels off. If I was styling her? I would tell her to ditch the ombre hair and then really play with some fun hairstyles. Then I would put her in cute cocktail dresses rather than pageant-looking gowns.
Emma Roberts in Lanvin. You know what? I like this. Her styling is beautiful and I like the ?70s vibe. My only complaint? The shoes. Awful.
Jennifer Hudson in Christian Dior. I didn?t think J-Hud would look this amazing in orange. She really pulls it off. I like this look on her a lot.
Zoe Saldana in Roland Mouret. Ugh. Usually I like Mouret?s designs, but this is just awful. From the neck up, she looks great ? but the dress is just awful.

Keeping her body in tip-top shape, Taylor Swift headed into a Los Angeles dance studio on Friday afternoon (November 22).
Rocking a giant red heart on her sweater, the 23-year-old singer slipped into her ballet shoes and headed inside the studio.
As previously reported by GossipCenter, Taylor recently hit up the Weinstein Company?s Holiday Party in Los Angeles.
While mingling with fellow industry pals, the blonde beauty donned a very flattering maroon gown, getting thumbs up from many fashion critics.

Here is Taylor Swift looking as gorgeous as ever at the Weinstein Company?s holiday party held at RivaBella in West Hollywood.
She looked beyond AH-MAZING at the holiday party, and let her curve-hugging dress do ALL the talking. Taylor donned a beautiful maroon dress by Herv Leroux. The vixen in red was utter perfection in this bandage-style dress that featured sheer sleeves.
?I?ve listened to ?Hold On? by @ColbieCaillat 45 times today. So on repeat. So important.? Taylor tweeted the day before.

Throughout this week, I?ve been slightly aware of the UK tabloid reports that Taylor Swift has been checking out some real estate in London. The tabloids claimed that she was looking for a place close to Harry Styles? place, because I guess Harry and Tay-Tay are not ?done? yet? But I do think they?re done. Taylor might not believe it, but I think Harry has been over it since January of this year. He?s moved on. And so that left Taylor, in my mind, as a real estate stalker who was still obsessed with her ex. Except that maybe I should give her more credit. According to People Mag, Tay-Tay has found her Romeo (LITERALLY) with yet another young-looking British boy, 21-year-old Douglas Booth. Booth recently played Romeo in the latest film version of Romeo and Juliet:
Does Taylor Swift have a new British beau? Ten months after splitting from One Direction’s Harry Styles, the “I Knew You Were Trouble” singer has been spotted with another U.K. heartthrob ? Romeo and Juliet’s Douglas Booth.
“They hired the back room and were in there alone,” a source tells PEOPLE of the duo’s cozy night at The Holly Bush in London on Friday. “They looked very happy [and] were just smiling and laughing just like any other customers.”
The duo possibly met through Swift’s close friend Hailee Steinfeld, who starred opposite Booth, 21, in the latest installment of Shakespeare’s classic love story about star-crossed lovers.
Swift, 23, showed up at the Los Angeles premiere’s after party in September, where she was seen getting flirty with Booth. The pair hung out with a group of friends (including Steinfeld), chatting and taking a series of fun photos in the photo booth.
No word yet on if the two are officially dating or are simply friends (reps for Swift and Booth did not respond to a request for comment), but sounds like a bit of quality time could go a long way with Booth.
“I’ve met some of the most beautiful women in the world, but they’re not the most attractive women that I’ve met,” he told PEOPLE in September. “Beauty comes from inside ? I think it takes a little bit of getting to know someone to fall in love.”

I?m including some photos of Booth below. He?s cute. I wouldn?t call him sexy or bangable, but he has that particular look that I know Taylor likes. He?s got good hair and a sweet face and he looks like he could totally be a member of One Direction. Do you hear that, Harry Styles? Tay-Tay found another British boy, a better British boy! Which reminds me ? remember when Taylor and Eddie Redmayne dated for just a moment a few years ago? She?s been on a British boy jag for a while. I ain?t mad at her. I?ve had a thing for British boys for decades now. Welcome to the Anglophile Files, girl.
PS… Is anyone else creeped out by actors named “Booth”? I wonder if he’s distantly
