Everyone know that Taylor Swift is inspired by love and relationships -- but that's not all. The superstarlet recently opened up about a few other things that spark her creative side, and they have nothing to do with kissing in the rain.
March 25, 2013 Three of four coaches were fought to win the attention of 16-year-old country singer Danielle Bradbery on 'The Voice' on Monday night. The Cypress, Texas teen performed Taylor Swift's 'Mean,' a song that holds personal meaning for her.
When superstar Taylor Swift penned 'Tim McGraw' years ago, she probably had no idea that in the future, the icon would passionately discuss his deep admiration for her, even diving into how she changed country music in a very special way.
Taylor Swift is all about her fans, but she went above and beyond to make one especially deserving fan's dream come true. At the Charlotte, N.C. stop of her Red Tour on Friday night (March 22), the singer brought a sick 7-year-old girl named Emma Routh onstage with her. It meant so much to her that Emma's family cannot stop gushing about what a heartwarming gesture the country superstar made on her behalf.
Last week, we reported that the oft-criticized Taylor Swift had an unlikely ally in feminist punk rocker Kathleen Hanna. But Swift has also earned respect from other people in different arms of the entertainment field. Like screenwriter and 'Nashville' creator Callie Khouri, 55, who said that she supports Swift's formula since it's brought the '22' singer as much success as it has criticism. And you can't argue with success. Let the haters hate.
Taylor Swift and Nelly don't seem like a likely combination, but that hasn't stopped the country music crossover star from rubbing elbows with the St. Louis native on several occasions. During a Red Tour stopover in Nelly's hometown this week, Swift shocked her audience when she brought the rap star on stage.
Lately, it seems that Taylor Swift's lips are getting much looser when it comes to dishing on the inspiration behind her breakup songs and how she really feels about some of her ex-boyfriends. Most recently, it was One Direction's Harry Styles. We're not sure what Styles did to get under Swift's skin, but she had no problem revealing that he was on her mind when she penned 'I Knew You Were Trouble' for her record-breaking 'Red' album.
Even though superstar Taylor Swift is in the midst of her 2013 Red Tour, she's not too busy to help make dreams come true, especially if they're the dreams of a brave 15-year-old girl fighting cystic fibrosis.
March 19, 2013 If it seems like Taylor Swift and Eric Church are everywhere you look these days, you ain't seen nothin' yet. The two ubiquitous entertainers are not only all over the radio, internet and television, now they're also making their way into the sports world -- sort of. Brody Hoffman, a goalie for the University of Vermont, has placed images of both country singers on either side of his mask, as seen above.
The 2013 ACMs just wouldn't be complete without performances from the hottest names in country music, and the Academy of Country Music has just announced new additions to the exciting performance lineup, including Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift.
