2 111 89 SWIFT*TAYLOR OUR SONG 11,614 36 8,510 1,628,771 A typo in the total sales of Our Song? I remember it has crossed the 2 million mark long time ago it's the total from the hot digital tracks, so, yes, it's lower than what it has actually sold all versions combined.

Oooooh it's for a movie. I thought she was being cast for Broadway. That will make a huge difference. She just doesn't have a voice for Broadway, but on film they can amp and adjust her voice as necessary. That being said, I'm feeling like this will be more like the movie version of "Phantom of the Opera," not "Chicago."

^ Ashlee Simpson starred in a Broadway show (Chicago) and reviewed pretty good reviews. If she could do it, Taylor undoubtedly can.

And the original Broadway Eponine, Frances Ruffelle...has a nasally Disney princess-ish voice - not exactly a peerless instrument that will necessarily make Taylor pale in comparison.

Yeah, I just heard her version. LINK I think Taylor will be fine, especially after months of vocal training, tailored to those songs. I just wish it would get confirmed already. We have to know something soon, though. Rehearsals are starting at the end of the month. If she does get the part, I think she's going to learn so much there. Working with people like Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. I couldn't care less about all of this a week ago, but now I'll be really disappointed if she doesn't end up doing it.

Saw Les Mis on tour in San Antonio last night (second row...best staged musical ever), and the role of Eponine is very demanding. I think Taylor will do the role justice.

Taylor won the PCA for Favourite Country Artist, but that's no surprise to anyone.
I would kill for a S&S performance, but would also like a Dear John or even Haunted performance. Just not Ours, please.

Blah. I hate that every single one of her performances at the grammy's was to perform something other than her current single at the time, and I absolutely despise the fact that she'll most likely do S&S when she could very well impress the industry AND the world with a different performance of a song from her own album.

I'm pretty sure she'll do S&S at the Grammy's. I've seen youtube covers where they added piano and strings to the song to make it bigger. I think it could be great if they did that at the Grammy's. Then after the bridge, cut the rest out and perform it how they did at the Ryman. With just vocals and John Paul's guitar, and a cappella at the very end.
But if she does decide to do a song from Speak Now, I think it'll be Dear John. I'm not sure if I want that, though. On one hand, I think it's her most well-written song and her best song vocally. But she got a lot of crap for her VMA performance of "Innocent" because people thought it was too dramatic. And DJ is even more so. Also, I think everyone will focus more on the sensational aspect of it (especially if he's there), than her great vocals.

Good point, Kyla. I'm pretty sure that Taylor knows this too, so "Safe and Sound" will more than likely be the Grammy performance. I'd much rather have that than "Mean." Nominees don't have to perform songs they're nominated for, right?

No, Taylor did "15" in 2009. I think the bigger you are, the more leeway they give you. When it's not like you're known for just the song you're nominated for. I just hope they don't try to do some sort of "Safe & Sound"/"Mean" medley. Plus, I think the Grammy people want her to redeem herself from the performance 2 years ago as much as anyone. And if they and Taylor think this song can do that... Also, the Grammy's love collaborations and The Civil Wars are likely going to win their first Grammy this year for Best Folk Album. And there's the tie-in with The Hunger Games. Not that the Grammy's care about helping the movie out, but maybe the performance would get THG fans to tune in just for that, especially if they had the stars of the movie introduce it.

Someone posted scans of the Vogue article on tumblr. The interview was from a few months ago, but it sounds like she might take a page out of Adele's book for the next album. All songs about the same guy/break-up. Or at least a big part of the album will be centered around that.
And I think it should be mandatory for people to read that article before they decide they don't like her. She's so smart and funny. And the article pretty much confirmed what I've long thought. That we don't get to see her full self anymore because of the image she has to maintain. Like at one point they said she quoted the entire honey badger video, but she asked that the cursing be off-record. It's so annoying. Real Taylor is so much cooler than image Taylor.

Saw her at the Ryman with The Civil Wars the other day, she sounded perfect on "S&S". They should definitely perform that at the Grammys.
And does anyone get the idea that Taylor is now all about being single?
Looking forward to the "S&S" video!

The interview was from a few months ago and she said she wasn't interested in dating because she's so happy with her life right now. And didn't want to be sad and crying this Christmas. (well, the Christmas that was a few weeks ago) Because apparently she spent last Christmas crying.
