"Eyes Wide Open" is the other song from "The Hunger Games" OST that Taylor has on it.
Great Performance of "Mean" by Taylor.By far her best performance of the song she has ever did. So proud of her tonight!! 2 out of 3 isn't bad at all!

Great performance at the Grammys. So much better than Ours at CMAs (??). Perhaps my fave award show performance from her. :)

Time gave her performance an A:
And the LA Times had nothing but good things to say, although they didn't formally grade it:

Great, great, great video. I have a new appreciation for "Safe & Sound;" it's quite the grower. I can't wait to hear the other song Taylor's singing for the soundtrack.

I'm really happy she will be/already has worked with different people for the album. The more experience and knowledge she can get from other writers, the better she gets.
I think this album will be getting even more critical love than she already gets, perhaps at the cost of some commercial success. Not really an issue for me though, I just want the best music possible.

Agreed. I think her perspective's changed in the last couple years and she's more open to stepping outside of her comfort zone now. Especially after watching that interview, I really think this album is going to be a lot different than anything she's done before. I can't believe we have to wait 8 more months!
With the way she talked about working with different people she's always wanted to work with, I think she may be working with different producers too? Not just co-writers. We know she's doing the album with Nathan Chapman again, but she could be bringing some others into the mix. Especially if she's co-writing with people that also produce (like Bruno).
I think Bruno's going to be one of the people she did a song with since he was the one she kept talking about. And we already know about Lori McKenna. ....And I'm still hopeful about Ryan Adams. haha He re-tweeted her tweet about her 2 Grammy wins Sunday and congratulated her.

The "Safe and Sound" video is so beautiful. The cinematography is top notch.
So excited for the new album now. Taylor's gonna keep getting that critical love.

Great video, it's gorgeous. Love the song too. Many Taylor fans probably won't agree with me, but I really do wish there are more songs like this on her new album. I like Safe and Sound much much more than most of the songs on Speak Now. As catchy as some of those songs are, I have gotten pretty tired of those sound/themes (Mine, Sparks Fly etc) from her tbh...

When I look (at the actions,behaviours) and hear music from Adele and Taylor it's hard for me to reconcile that they are both around the same age, if not the same age.

If you're implying that Taylor is somehow immature, chew on this : how many 22year olds are multi-millionaires, just completed one of the biggest world-tours in recent music history, is fiercely adored by her fans, has 3 consecutive multi-platinum full studio albums and a Grammy for Best Album to her name, is fully in-charge of her own financial destiny and musical identity, well...I wish I was as immature as her.

Taylor Swift Not Bothered about Losing Les Mis RolePosted by Adam Sunday February 19, 2012 TAYLOR Swift doesn’t mind losing out on jobs! The Love Story hitmaker says she didn’t get down in the dumps about losing out on the singing star role in the musical Les Miserables because it was never hers in the first place. “I didn’t miss out on the role for Les Miserables because I never got the role,” says Taylor. ” I was at home and I just started getting all these text messages from my friends saying ‘Congratulations on your movie role’ and I was like ‘What? I don’t understand! I haven’t got a movie role!’ So that is the real story.” www.showbizspy.com/article/244449/taylor-swift-not-bothered-about-losing-les-mis-role.html

They nailed Taylor to a T last night on SNL. I still can't stop laughing at how funny that skit is.

First half of Taylor and Zac's Ellen interview:
And their Dance Dare:
I loved the entire interview, I'm so glad she's getting a few of these in before she heads to Australia. Their duet video is almost at 3 million views already lol.
