Taylor Swift: ‘I Don’t Have a Type’

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Features,

Taylor SwiftTaylor Swift doesn't have a specific type.

The 23-year-old singer has dated a host of celebrities including Jake Gyllenhaal, Joe Jonas, Harry Styles and John Mayer but Taylor says she doesn't know what attracts her to certain men. "I don't really think too hard about what people think or why you should like someone. I think in 20s we're just like, 'Oh, I'll try hanging out with him' or 'I'll try being single.' You're kind of all over the place. We're crazy. We're in our 20s," she said.

Taylor also revealed she wrote the song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" - which is widely believed to be about her relationship with End of Watch star Jake - to remind herself not to take him back. "Once a relationship's done, it's done. I think that ["We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"] kinda says it. Maybe I wrote that song so I would never get back in that relationship. Because once you write that about it, there's no way you're getting back together," she explained.

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Birthdays, Rumors,

Harry Styles and Taylor SwiftTaylor Swift is planning to take Harry Styles out on a yacht on the French Riviera this weekend.

Taylor and Harry are expected to seal their reunion at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes this Sunday - where One Direction are nominated for International Group of the Year - and a source revealed the blonde beauty wants "no expense to be spared" when she whisks Harry away. "The lads are planning to hang out together enjoying Cannes - and they also want to get to Paris. But Taylor is desperately trying to make arrangements for her and Harry to slip away and have private romantic time. She has got a boat on standby ready for them to sneak off. Taylor thought a boat would be the perfect getaway as photographers can't follow them," an insider said.

Jack White Set for the Grammys

Jack WhiteJack White, Carrie Underwood and Ed Sheeran have been confirmed to perform at the Grammy Awards.

Nine time award winner Jack will take to the stage at the 55th annual event - held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on February 10 - as will Ed, who is teaming up for a special duet with Elton John. "Buzzing to announce I am going to be performing live on @TheGRAMMYs ... Cannot wait! (sic)" Ed wrote on Twitter.

Ed's track "The A Team" is competing for "Song Of The Year," while Jack's Blunderbuss album is nominated for the Best Rock Album and Album of the Year, while "Freedom at 21" receives the nod for Best Rock Song.

Jack recently said he believes his debut solo has been such a success because he was tough with himself the whole way through recording: "I have an obsession with being hard on myself because I really need to feel proud of what I do. If I look back and see that I got the best engineers, that someone mixed the record for me, that it was just a bunch of people playing the parts, I couldn't live with throwing my name on top of it."

Taylor Swift and Harry Styles Getting Back Together

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Rumors,

Taylor Swift and Harry StylesTaylor Swift and Harry Styles are getting back together.

The former couple - who split earlier this month following an argument during their new year holiday in the Caribbean - have patched up their differences following showdown talks in London, and they will reportedly seal their reunion at the NRJ Music Awards in Cannes, France, this weekend.

"Taylor realized she was being a bit full-on. She is now more relaxed about their relationship. She intends to enjoy it more rather than worry about where it could eventually lead. Harry is not the sort of guy you can stay mad at for long. She's given him some space and it's done them both a world of good. What happened over New Year is now a distant memory," a source told The Sun.

Harry, 18, is said to be planning a number of romantic gestures for the "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" hitmaker in Cannes, where they will stay in the same hotel.


Taylor Swift Pens Five Tracks About Harry Styles

Harry Styles and Taylor SwiftTaylor Swift has allegedly penned five news songs about Harry Styles.

Despite the "I Knew You Were Trouble" hitmaker only splitting from the One Direction stud last week, the singer has already channelled her anger into brand new songs about her short-lived romance with the 18-year-old womanizer.

"Taylor writes music in the same way that other women chat to their friends on the phone. It's been how she deals with her emotions for most of her life. Harry and Taylor only dated for a short time but there were very strong feelings, so it's been a tough comedown," a source said.

The 23-year-old country starlet is famously open about her string of A-list exes - who include John Mayer, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal - in her lyrics, but refuses to reveal which of her former flames each song is about, with the exception of her candid hit "Dear John."

Lisa Osbourne's tweets

While we all are entitled to freedom of speech, Jack Osbourne's wife Lisa is exercising it quite boisterously online - in an effort to talk about Taylor Swift's love life. The actress - who wed Jack in October after having dated for over a year - took to Twitter to call the 23 year-old singer "bats*** crazy" over her short-lived romances.

Swift - who has famously dated older men like John Mayer and Jake Gyllenhaal as well as guys younger than her like Taylor Lautner and Connor Kennedy - recently broke up with One Direction's Harry Styles, after a two-month relationship. While it's clear that Taylor loves being in love, has anyone really made this much of a fuss about how much of a serial dater Ryan Reynolds is (after all, he married Scarlett Johansson and Blake Lively after a year of dating them)? Or how about Joe Jonas?

Britney Spears Is the Highest Paid Woman in Music

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Artist News, Concerts / Tours, Pop,

Britney SpearsBritney Spears was the top earning woman in music this year.

The X Factor judge - who neither released a new album or went on tour in 2012 - raked in an estimated $58 million in just 12 months, according to Forbes magazine.

Most of the 30-year-old popstar's profits - which are just slightly less than the $64 million she earned in 2010 - came from her comeback Femme Fatale tour that grossed $68.7 million worldwide, followed by her Femme Fatale album, in addition to her popular fragrance line with Elizabeth Arden and her endorsement deals.

Music attorney Lori Landew, who helped Britney negotiate her first record deal as a teenager, attempted to explain her huge success despite a few rough years, saying, "Britney has an electricity that connects with audiences on screen and off, and it is that intangible quality that always seems to leave her fans, old and new, breathless."

One Direction Worried About Styles/Swift Romance

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Dating, Rumors,

Taylor Swift and Harry StylesHarry Styles' One Direction bandmates are worried about his romance with Taylor Swift. Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik think Harry, 18, is rushing into a relationship with Taylor, 22, too quickly and are also fearful she will write a damaging song about him if it ends badly.

"Harry's public romancing of Taylor has got the other lads all riled up. With Taylor's reputation for writing break-up songs about her exes, they think Harry could find himself in a spot of bother if it doesn't work out and his actions are setting them all up for a fall. They also think it is moving too quickly and both have busy schedules, so it's a difficult time for either one of them to commit," a source said.

The "What Makes You Beautiful" singers are also worried Harry's relationship could affect their fan base as he is known as the heartthrob of the group. "Harry's especially loved by the band's female fans and there is a feeling that by being so open about his relationship with Taylor he will only upset them. The boys are praying that when it does come down to it, he ends things amicably with her. Otherwise, they fear there will be hell to pay," the insider added.
