I'm guessing because cufan7 just couldn't resist getting a passive-aggressive dig in? Nope. I love Taylor's music I just feel like there is always a camera or something to catch her charitable efforts. You guys are right though, the fact that she's doing wonderful things for her fans is all that really matters.

The camera actually was not there, Taylor met her fan online, began liking her creative posts on Tumblr? (I think it was Tumblr) and then sent her the check and multiple other trinkets in the mail, and the teen posted that online, so the press coverage spread quickly. But I get what you mean though.

I know you weren't being mean spirited but the thing is, there is ALWAYS a camera around Taylor no matter what. She has absolutely 0 privacy. It would be almost impossible for her to do something like this and for it not to get out.

Especially when it's concerning fans she's interqcting with online. The only things happening in her life that would not get out are things her and her PR team would purposely try to hide. And why would they go through any trouble trying to hide this? It's a wonderful thing she did.

Anticonformity: my advice to you is to town down the aggression a notch. Then again, maybe your goal is to make a quick impression and then flame out just as quickly. If that is the case, as you were. Just checked and having an opinion was still legal... didn't bash you for having ur own I don't like 2 songs off of 1989 ZOMG GO CALL THE POLICE! GO CALL THE GOVENUH!

So, how many electoral votes do Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Beyoncé get? My state (New York) went for Beyoncé, so that's about 30 right there.

Taylor Swift's 1989 was certified Gold, Platinum, 2xP and 3xP at the end of November, but they are only announcing it now! Weird.

Standard GOLD ALBUM SOLO Due (presumably) to Thanksgiving, nothing certified after 11/25 appeared in the monthly report for November (which came out in early December). That would explain why the platinums weren't announced until now. It wouldn't explain why the gold wasn't announced though.

^I think the label wanted to wait until the 2014 RIAA Year End Report which came out today.
This should have been big news in December!
Big Machine and Tayor have been tweeting her digital single RIAA certs.
Why were the 1989 album certs such a secret?

Just calculated the electoral votes based on the chart in the article to break the Swift-Perry ties, and it goes like... Taylor: 425 electoral votes Beyoncé: 69 votes Katy: 44 votes So Taylor would be the President, Selena can be her VP and Lorde can be the Speaker. ...the things I do when I want to avoid studying...

Speaking of the president... John Boehner attacks Obama using Taylor Swift GIF imagesSpeaker of the House John Boehner, in a bizarre attempt to criticize President Barack Obama, wrote an editorial using 12 Taylor Swift GIFs. The oddball move is currently trending online, drawing criticism on social media. Boehner had sent an email to reporters containing his editorial piece, "12 Taylor Swift GIFs for you," in which Boehner vehemently disagreed with Obama's recent proposal to make community college "free for everybody who is willing to work for it." In the piece, Boehner incorporated the use of animated GIF images, while popular amongst social media, seem uncharacteristic of a leader of the United States Congress. Using Swift to describe his opinions on the matter, Boehner loosely connected the music artist by comparing the high taxpayer costs to Swift's album sales. "Turns out...when President Obama said 'free' what he meant was '60 Billion dollars over 10 years.' Not even all the Taylor Swift album sales in the world would cover that bill," wrote Boehner including an image of Swift mouthing "what?" "We're not mad. She's just disappointed," Boehner concluded with an image of Swift storming offstage. The full details of President Obama's community college proposal are expected to be revealed in Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday, Jan. 20, from 9 to 11 a.m. EST. Watch it here. ABC has reached out to Taylor Swift for comment. Check it out here www.speaker.gov/general/12-taylor-swift-reactions-president-obamas-free-college-idea?Source=GovDThat universal, unprecedented impact is so real. :'(

Because those who would vote them out are unable or unwilling to make it to the ballot box. Also gerrymandering.

Thanks. That means Taylor Swift can run for president in 2024 when she turns 35 (a few weeks short of that mark considering the election is in November and her birthday is in December).

That video is getting huge, 8 millions views so far. SIO is #6 Itunes with big green updates It seems sure that SIO will stay top 10 this week, and i'm sure it may get into even top 5 next week.

I don't know if it's been discussed, but 1989 is the fastest album to sell 4 million copies since 2004. Can't wait to see what happens to SIO because of that video. It's getting like 4 million views per day!!

wow this girl is just huge now!!! and unlike katy's teenage dream hit singles era, taylor has the album sales and soon grammys to back it up as well. i thought they'd release Out of the wood first for the winter cold weather and bring Style out for soring. but it doesnt matter at this point, whatever n whenever she releases will strike gold.
