Taylor Swift :: Won Two GRAMMY awards



The 54th Annual GRAMMY Awards began on a somber note. After a rousing performance from Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band to kick things off, host LL Cool J took center stage and opened with a heartfelt prayer in memory of Whitney Houston, who passed away Saturday. The rest of the night was a celebration of music from across all genres, tributes to artists both lost and living, and of course, the passing out of awards.
 Taylor Swift was the night’s big winner for country music. Her hit song “Mean” earned her two GRAMMY Awards, for Best Solo Country Performance and Best Country Song. “There is no feeling quite like writing a song about someone who is mean to you and makes your life miserable and winning a Grammy for it,” she said while accepting the trophy for Best Country Solo Performance. “Thank you.”




Taylor also performed “Mean” during the show, taking her set back to the Depression era. Having written the song in response to harsh criticism, Taylor changed up the last lines to say “Someday, I’ll be, singing this at the Grammys.” Her performance received a standing ovation from her fellow artists.

Taylor Swift :: EXCLUSIVE "VOGUE"Interview

February issue of Vogue Singer Taylor Swift's first turn on the legendary fashion mag's cover ,the 22-year-old country-pop star has just one word to describe her teen years.

"So . . . middle school? Awkward," says Swift, who grew up in Pennsylvania, first on a rural Christmas tree farm and later in a wealthier suburban area. "Having a hobby that's different from everyone else's? Awkward. Singing the national anthem on weekends instead of going to sleepovers? More awkward. Gain a lot of weight before you hit the growth spurt? Awkward. Frizzy hair, don't embrace the curls yet? Awkward. Try to straighten it? Awkward!"

And despite her current fame, all those Grammys, lots of big paychecks (oh, and even a Vogue cover, her "awkward" past is still hard to shake. "I think who you are in school really sticks with you," Swift admits. "I don't ever feel like the cool kid at the party, ever. It's like, Smile and be nice to everybody, because you were not invited to be here."
She's had a few well publicized breakups (Jonas dumped her over the phone a few years ago, while Gyllenhaal broke up with her just before Christmas 2010), and now has a list of red flags when it comes to men -- like when a guy doesn't feel the need to get to know her and relies on what the media's said about her, anyone who's obsessed with privacy, a boyfriend threatened by the fact she needs a security team, or someone who puts her down a lot "to level the playing field." (That one kinda' seems like a given.)


The 5'10" blonde insists she's not dating anyone currently, and in the meantime, she's working on her fourth album, which draws on past romantic troubles. "There's just been this earth-shattering, not recent, but absolute crash-and-burn heartbreak," she says, "and that will turn out to be what the next album is about. The only way that I can feel better about myself -- pull myself out of that awful pain of losing someone -- is writing songs about it to get some sort of clarity."

Taylor Swift :: BioGraphy

                                              Taylor Swift

Date of Birth ::13 December 1989, Reading, Pennsylvania, USA

Birth Name ::Taylor Alison Swift

Height :: 5' 11" (1.80 m)

Personal Quotes By Taylor ::
[on working with David Copperfield at the 2009 CMA awards] Working with David was a lot of fun, especially being sawed in half. A couple of my friends were there watching us rehearse the sawing. After David had cut me in two and pushed my halves apart, he invited them up on stage to take a closer look at me and they were totally blown away, because they could see right inside the boxes and see that I wasn't curled up inside the top one. One of them looked at me laying there in two pieces in front of them and said "Whoa, Taylor - He really has sawn you in half, hasn't he??!!". [on the Britney Spears perfume she wore] The coolest girl in school wore Britney Spears' Fantasy, and I had to copy her. People haven't always been there for me, but music always has. I never want to change so much that people can't recognize me. When I was a little girl I used to read fairy tales.
In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair. There's more to life than dating the boy on the football team. I'm intimidated by the fear of being average. Everyone I know has had fair warning! I've always written about who's spending time with me, so if they get into any kind of a relationship with me, they know what they're getting into. There is a strength in letting bygones be bygones. It was therapeutic to write and perform. Sometimes it's best not to say anything. I just save it for the music. Love is fascinating. Wishing for it, pining for it and the anger that comes when you lose it. I used to think that I could figure out some pattern to love, like if you don't text a guy back for a half-hour, he'll like you more. But there is no pattern. Absolutely nothing is predictable in love.

Taylor Swift :: Christmas Wish


Singer Taylor Swift has it all  a handful of multiplatinum albums, a sold-out world tour, a star-studded little black book but even she hopes to find something special under her Christmas tree this year.

"I want a pasta maker, antique picture frames, or anything from Free People or Anthropologie," the 22-year-old singer tells Twist. In return, Swift plans to give her friends "funny or thoughtful gifts based on things they've said this year."
But for Swift, Christmas is about more than just giving gifts  it's about spending quality time with friends and family.
"It's amazing to have us all together," she says. "To have everyone back in Nashville for the holidays is one of my favorite things about this time of year." "My family and I always decorate a big Christmas tree together and look at the ornaments Austin and I made when we were kids," she adds. "It's so nostalgic, looking back at all the Christmases past and comparing them to how different our lives are now."
Rest assured, Swift hasn't forgotten about her fans this holiday season. "I hope that they're happy, wherever they are. I hope that this holiday season, they feel loved by the people around them," Swift tells Twist. "And most of all I hope they feel appreciated by me. My life would look nothing like this without them."
