New movie rumor... www.variety.com/article/VR1118052905?refCatId=13This one's been rumored for awhile. I figured there was some truth in it since she used so many Joni songs for her arm lyrics towards the end of the tour. And she had the "Girls Like Us" book in the background of one of her pictures of Meredith. But like the article said, she hasn't even been offered yet. If she was going to do a movie, right now would've been the best time when she doesn't have a lot going on. She's going to be super busy later this year when album #4 comes out. Then touring in 2013.

Selena Gomez heard Taylor and Justin's song :o Selena Gomez: Boyfriend Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift Making "Beautiful" Music TogetherThu., Apr. 19, 2012 8:00 PM PDT by Marc Malkin GSI Media Selena Gomez has heard boyfriend Justin Bieber's collaboration with Taylor Swift. While details about the music have been kept under wraps… "It's beautiful," Gomez beamed when I caught up with her at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills yesterday to talk about the upcoming launch of her self-named debut fragrance. "I don't know if it's going to make it on the record, but it is beautiful." Gomez, on the other hand, still isn't planning on recording new music anytime soon. "Not yet," she said. "We're maybe going to do some fun remixes, but right now it's just about movies." No, Gomez isn't guesting on the show (yet), but an upcoming episode includes Lea Michele singing her hit, "Love You Like a Love Song." "I didn't even know and my label didn't even know it was happening," Gomez said. "Cory Monteith texted me a video of someone singing it and I was like, 'Wait, that's Lea!" I asked him if they were on set and he sent me back a smiley face. So that's how we found out." A video of James Franco pseudo-singing the infectious tune while filming their flick Spring Breakers recently went viral. "I loved it," Gomez said. "It was so good. What people don't know is that he was very much in character when he was doing it. I thought it was hysterical." Gomez's "fresh, romantic and rich but not overbearing" scent doesn't go on sale until mid-May (it's exclusive to Macy's nationwide and Macys.com), but she has a very good reason why she's promoting it so far in advance—Gomez leaves for Bulgaria in 10 days to shoot an action movie with Ethan Hawke called The Getaway and will be gone for about six weeks. "It's all car-chasing," she said. "Luckily, I'm not driving, but there's a lot of throwing around and cars flipping." Just be careful, please!

I’ve heard some people sometimes pick at her about her writing, writing about teenage type things, but even that is written well.” The married father of three vividly recalls the first time he heard Taylor’s music. “First song I ever heard of hers was ‘Teardrops on My Guitar,’” he recounts. “I heard that song on the radio, and as soon as I heard it, I told my wife, ‘I don’t know who that is, but that’s a great song, and it’s going to be a big hit.’” countrymusicnation.com/2401/alan-jackson-keeps-it-country/

To be honest, I'd see her more as Carly Simon or Carole King than I would Joni Mitchell.

Why has this song slowed to a crawl on Pop Songs? Lame.
On Hot AC it's #13 and has the 5th-largest bullet.

Speak Now gained 1,494 copies on Recovery this week but is still 171,208 copies behind. However, on the chart dated 31/12/2011, Speak Now was 265,716 copies behind, so in the past 4 months, it has gained 94,508 copies on Recovery overall. Now I hope they just reduce the price of the album to keep it afloat on the charts until Taylor's new album. Speak Now is still really expensive just about everywhere.

Gossipcop's report on Taylor/Joni Mitchell Role- Taylor Swift to Play Joni Mitchell? Truth rating: 6 4:10 pm, April 20th, 2012 Taylor Swift might play another singer-songwriter — Joni Mitchell — on the big screen. A film adaptation of Sheila Weller’s book “Girls Like Us” is in development, and Swift is circling the part of Mitchell, Gossip Cop confirms. “She’s looking for the right role, and this could be it,” a source close to the singer tells us, although it’s important to note that the project has not been greenlit yet.The book also explores the lives of Carly Simon and Carole King, although no actresses are attached to either role at this point. If Swift winds up in the project, it would mark her first major dramatic turn. She previously appeared in romantic comedy Valentine’s Day and lent her voice to The Lorax. www.gossipcop.com/taylor-swift-playing-joni-mitchell-movie-girls-like-us/Video of B.O.B talking about his song with Taylor-

Why are country stations playing it? Only one station is playing it, but that station is KKGO in Los Angeles, obviously the biggest station on the panel. It is independently owned so they don't always stick to what is "conventional" and will sometimes play album tracks. They spun it more than 20 times last week, which allowed it to debut, since of course Billboard goes by audience.

Taylor liked Selena Gomez's Perfume Selena Gomez's Fragrance Gets Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift's ApprovalBy Gena Oppenheim Instead, the 19-year-old decided to go through the process with the help of her fans, but made sure to get her celebrity friends’ opinions when the final product was complete. “She smelled mine and she loves it,” Selena told reporters of Taylor, creator of "Wonderstruck" Eau De Parfum, adding, “Its good to have her approval.” www.okmagazine.com/news/selena-gomezs-fragrance-gets-justin-bieber-taylor-swifts-approvalB.o.B Explains Origins Of Taylor Swift Collaboration "Both Of Us" « Topic Start: Today at 09:01:53 PM » B.o.B says that she flew him out to Dallas, Texas to record the track. B.o.B surprised some of his fans with a Taylor Swift collaboration titled "Both of Us," set to be included on his sopfantastic friendre album Strange Clouds, releasing May 1st. But Bobby Ray insisted that it happened naturally. During an interview with B96's Julian On Da Radio for Gowhere Hip Hop, the Decatur, Georgia rapper said that he was honored to hit the studio with the pop star. "It's crazy becasue it happened naturally," he said. "It wasn't like the label was like, 'We need to get a Taylor Swift feature.' It was really like she hit me up and invited me to come on her set, and I couldn't make it because I wasn't in Atlanta at the time, but she actually arranged for me to come to Dallas and she brought me out and I played her the song, she liked it and it naturally happened. That is an element that you don't see too much, too often in the industry. So I'm glad it happened naturally like that. "She hit me up and was like, 'Hey! I'm in Atlanta,'" he continued. "I didn't think she was going to like the song, but she loved it. It turned out tremendous." As for additional collaborations on the album (Lil Wayne, Ryan Tedder, Nicki Minaj and more), the singer-songwriter says that he was surprised he ended up with so many duets. "Like the first album, I didn't think I was going to be collaborating the people that I did. The same thing happened with this album. I think it's something that's meant to happen. Maybe it's in my DNA, I've got collaboration written all in me." www.hiphopdx.com/index/news/id.19471/title.bob-explains-origins-of-taylor-swift-collaboration-both-of-us?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed2Fnews+29

New Company that Taylor has signed on to- Taylor Swift Signs With IMGMusic superstar Taylor Swift has signed with IMG for representation in worldwide marketing, endorsements, tour sponsorships and licensing. She continues to be represented by WME in other areas, including film, television, books and touring. Swift has won six Grammy Awards and sold more than 20 million records worldwide. The singer's eponymous first album was released in 2006 when she was 16 and featured five singles that went platinum, including "Tim McGraw" and "Teardrops on My Guitar." She has since released a handful of other full-length studio albums, including Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010). She also contributed a song -- "Safe & Sound" -- to this year's Hunger Games soundtrack. Swift has pursued acting in recent years, appearing in Valentine's Day (2010) and lending her voice to the March animated film The Lorax. She also has hosted Saturday Night Live and appeared on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation -- both in 2009. Media company IMG has various divisions, including a television unit that distributes and produces sports programs, a brand consulting group and a talent representation group, which manages the careers of athletes, executives, actors and musicians. The company was founded by Mark McCormack and was headed by Ted Forstmann until his death late last year. Swift will be represented by a team led by Alan Zucker, who is senior vp of IMG's clients division and managing director of its talent marketing division. www.hollywoodreporter.com/risky-business/taylor-swift-img-314622 Overheard: Taylor Swift should star in a 'Grease' remakeIt's probably only a matter of time before "Grease" joins "Footloose" and "Dirty Dancing" as classic films being remade for a new generation, and Olivia Newton-John knows it. The 63-year-old actress told "Showbiz Tonight's" A.J. Hammer that she's not opposed to the idea of a "Grease" remake, and even has an idea on who could star in her role as Sandy: "I'm sure they'll try , and I think it would probably do well because people would be curious. But there's something about the originals... that people still want to see. But I'm sure they'll do it, and they'll do an updated version, and it'll be great. Lately, I've thought Taylor Swift could probably [play Sandy], because she's very talented. And my daughter, I've always thought she could."

This is interesting about Taylor's part in the song "Both Of Us". This is a interview that B.O.B did with the AP.Here is Taylor related part. AP: Dr. Luke produced four songs on "Strange Clouds." What was it like working with him since he's best known for his hits with Katy Perry and Ke$ha? B.o.B: Working with Dr. Luke is good, but sometimes you may run into disagreements, certain things that may rub an artist a certain way. For example, when I recorded "Both of Us" (featuring Taylor Swift), I recorded my vocals on the hook, but when it was time to turn the masters in, he snatched my vocals right when it was time to turn in the masters. And so, as an artist it kind of makes you feel like, "I guess it's his song." I don't know. He's a talented dude, but sometimes when you work with a producer, sometimes their ego may get in the way into really making it a completely mutual project. AP: What was it like to hear Swift's vocals on the song when it was done? B.o.B: I played her the song at her show ... and instantly she loved it. She was like, "Bob, I have tears in my eyes. I love this song. I'm down. I want to be a part of it." ... And she sounded amazing on the record. (She) actually rewrote some of my verses as well. news.yahoo.com/b-o-b-gets-advice-chris-martin-2nd-151012723.html

"Both of Us" is holding at #3 on iTunes. It should sell about 150,000 in the first week. That should be enough to debut Top 20. If it's able to maintain this ranking through the weekend it may be able to sell 200,000.

HOT DISH: Where's Taylor Swift?Why hasn't Taylor Swift been in the news lately? The girl who wins everything, appears on everything and is loved by almost everyone seems to be ignored recently. I've talked to several people, but nobody seems to have seen Taylor around Music Town. She apparently hasn't been frequenting any of the trendy coffee shops near her condo. Nosy as I can be, I began to question a know-it-all by very carefully asking, "How is Taylor?" I usually add, "You know, I ran into her mom at the Academy Sporting Goods store not too long ago. Haven't seen her recently, however." The truth of the matter, I saw her mom once in February rushing into Academy with a bag in her hand. Since I don't know her mom -- and her mom does not know me -- we just nodded at each other. I called someone at Taylor's label -- not Big Machine Records owner Scott Borchetta, his wife Sandy Spika Borchetta or anyone that close to the bank account. But I did ask someone fairly close to the mouths and ears of the company, "How is Taylor?" "We are staying sorta quiet about Taylor these days," I was told. Remember when Taylor returned from one of her overseas jaunts and attended a basketball game with Chord Overstreet, son of songwriting great Paul Overstreet? I was all over that. When asked, Paul actually said, "They're hanging out." These days, Chord is a cast member of the popular television show, Glee. Maybe Taylor has been spending time with Chord -- and maybe not. Whether they are an item or not, I see where Taylor has been hanging with Glee actress Dianna Agron, so Taylor's songs may end up where? There! Where's there? There at Glee! Ryan Murphy, the show's co-creator, has revealed Taylor's smash hit "Mean" will be performed in an upcoming episode as a duet between football coach Shannon Beiste (played by Dot Jones) and bad-boy senior Noah "Puck" Puckerman (played by Mark Salling). www.cmt.com/news/hot-dish/1684987/hot-dish-wheres-taylor-swift.jhtml

Some news today on Taylor- Ed Sheeran: "I've Been Working With Taylor Swift"16th May 2012, 06:52 The 'Lego House' star teases a collaboration between the two artists as he ends touring duties with Snow Patrol. Ed Sheeran has confirmed that he has been working in the studio with country music star Taylor Swift. The 'You Need Me, I Don't Need You' star took to his Twitter account yesterday (15th May) to tell fans that he was teaming up with a "very cool artist" before revealing the name of the star. "writing songs with a very cool artist today :)," he tweeted, before adding: "In and out burger, defacing guitars and writing music with @taylorswift13 :)" The BRIT Award winning singer-songwriter has just finished touring North America with rockers Snow Patrol after being forced to cancel the remaining few shows due to personal reasons. Ed has already confirmed that he has also been writing with the band during his time on the road as he looks to complete work on his second studio album and follow up to the hugely successful debut '+'. Meanwhile, the 'Drunk' singer will be heading to Wembley Stadium this June for the Capital FM Summertime Ball 2012 performing on the same stage as the likes of Jessie J, The Wanted and Coldplay. www.capitalfm.com/artists/ed-sheeran/news/taylor-swift-new-album/

Eyes Open [Lyric Video From VEVO] Making the newsrounds today- May 17, 2012 Wow! Taylor Swift donates $4 million for huge Country Music Hall of Fame expansion So what were you doing when you were 22 years old? If you're Taylor Swift, you're donating a very large sum of money to help kids enjoy country music. It was announced today that Taylor, all on her own, is donating $4 million to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum for an exhibit and classroom space which will be called The Taylor Swift Education Center. The donation is the largest in museum history by an artist and the second largest from a single person -- single as in one individual, not single as in ha ha you're single. “In terms of what it will allow us to do, we do education very well now,” museum director Kyle Young said. “It will allow us to do what we do better, serve more people, develop new programs and I’m happy to say that as we talked through this opportunity with Taylor, she very much wants to be involved in an advisory capacity in what we do. Is there a better person out there who’s in touch with a young audience? I think not. I was joking we should be paying her to do that. I was only joking.” The Taylor Swift expansion will be part of a much larger $75 million expansion at the HOF which will increase its size by 200,000 square feet. According to The Washington Post, The Taylor Swift Education Center will be 7,500+ square feet and will feature two stories, three classrooms, and an exhibit space. The space will be geared toward kids and will have interactive activities such as a musical petting zoo and a space where kids (and their parents, because you know parents will love this too) can make concert posters and other art projects that may get messy. Besides being for kids, Taylor's expansion will allow the HOF to engage more teens and seniors with projects and workshops geared towards them. Wow! I'm impressed. This is truly a great way to keep on being included in the Forbes lists, that's for sure. The Taylor Swift Education Center is expected to open in 2014 t.co/xaz2iw2P

Wow. Last May she held a benefit concert that raised almost a million dollars for Tornado victims and this May she donates 4 million dollars for musical education. Not to mention all of her donations in between.
This girl is something else.

So good she's doing a lotta collabs lately. Hope Both Of Us gets top 10 at the hot 100. Don't want it #1 though. She needs to do it alone.
