Not bad, Taylor. She looked like an 80's child with some of those dance moves. Probably the best performance of her I've seen

I'm surprised she didn't win anything. I liked her performance a lot. I don't see why people said she was pitchy? Maybe I'm deaf, but I like the way the sings. Her tone's very unique.

That was probably her best award show vocal. But, shouldn't she know how to pronounce Hallelujah.

The 2010 TIME 100In our annual TIME 100 issue we name the people who most affect our world Artists Taylor SwiftBy STEVIE NICKS Thursday, Apr. 29, 2010 When I first got the call from Taylor Swift about performing with her at this year's Grammy Awards, I really didn't want to do it. She's 20 years old, 5 ft. 11 in. and slender; I'm 40 years older and, to be frank, neither of the other two things! I was not about to stand next to this girl on national television. But her little face just lights up like a star, and I couldn't say no. Taylor reminds me of myself in her determination and her childlike nature. It's an innocence that's so special and so rare. This girl writes the songs that make the whole world sing, like Neil Diamond or Elton John. She sings, she writes, she performs, she plays great guitar. Taylor can do ballads that could be considered pop or rock and then switch back into country. When I turned 20 years old, I had just made the serious decision to never be a dental assistant. Taylor just turned 20, and she's won four Grammys. I still walk around singing her song "Today Was a Fairytale." All of us girls want that boy to pick us up and think that we look beautiful even though we're in jeans and clogs. We want it at 14, and we want it at 60. Taylor is writing for the universal woman and for the man who wants to know her. The female rock-'n'-roll-country-pop songwriter is back, and her name is Taylor Swift. And it's women like her who are going to save the music business.

I just came across this video of Taylor signing a bit of YBWM accapella. And people say she can't sing.

That's a big chunk of change to donate no matter how much you're raking in. She must really love Nashville a lot!

Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift To Play Nashville Flood Benefit Concert Carrie Underwood and LeAnn Rimes will also perform during Nashville Rising show June 22. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Swift donated $500,000 to Nashville flood relief last week, and the country superstar is continuing to do her part by lending her talents to Nashville Rising: A Benefit Concert for Flood Recovery on June 22. The event will be hosted by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, with funds helping Nashville recover from last week's devastating floods. Swift will be joined by fellow teen queen Miley Cyrus, as well as country stars like Carrie Underwood, Brooks & Dunn, LeAnn Rimes, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and more names to come, People reports. The June show is set to take place at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. Funds will go to the Community Foundation, which provides philanthropic services in Middle Tennessee. "The damage that we've seen to people's homes and the effect that the flooding has had on their lives is unimaginable," McGraw and Hill said in a statement. "But we've seen the spirit of our community firsthand, as volunteers, church groups and our local business leaders rally to help. We all need to continue to support those in need in any way that we can, and for that reason, we could not be more appreciative to all of the artists, the companies and the people behind the scenes who collectively will make June 22 a truly special night." Ke$ha will hold her own benefit concert on June 16 at the Limelight entertainment venue in Nashville. "Nashville helped shape me as an artist and as a person, and my love for this city is beyond words," she said. "I will continue to do anything I can to help rebuild this city and support the families and animals who have been affected by this tragedy." www.mtv.com/news/articles/1638810/20100510/cyrus__miley.jhtml?rsspartner=rssYahooNewscrawlerTaylor Swift - Taylor Swift Wants White DuetTaylor Swift has revealed she would love to collaborate with rocker Jack White because she loves his ''style and playing''. Taylor Swift wants to work with Jack White. The 'Love Story' singer is currently working on the follow-up to her record-breaking LP 'Fearless' - which sold over seven million copies worldwide - and she would love to lay down a track with The White Stripes guitarist. The blonde star - who was recently listed in Time Magazine's 100 most influential people list - said: "I love his style. I love his writing. I think he's an awesome player too." Taylor has also revealed the inspiration behind her new album and is confident fans will enjoy the songs and the subjects she is tackling. The 20-year-old pop star - who hopes to have finished the LP by the end of the summer - said: "What do you think? Boys and love. "When I put out an album I'd like to think that when people listen to that album it's like a diary of what I've been through in the last two years. So it's a really fun way to express who I am and what I'm going through." www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/taylor-swift-wants-white-duet_1141990

Taylor Swift Earns Hall of Fame Honor Taylor Swift is walking through yet another door, becoming the first country songwriter to win the Hal David Starlight Award at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony in June. Introduced in 2004 to recognize young composers already working at a substantial creative peak, the award’s previous honorees include pop, rock and R&B singer-songwriters Rob Thomas, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, John Legend, John Rzeznik and Jason Mraz. The Starlight Award is named for Songwriters Hall of Fame chief Hal David, who’s a substantial writer himself, known for such titles as Julio Iglesias & Willie Nelson’s “To All The Girls I’ve Loved Before,” Ronnie Milsap’s “It Was Almost Like A Song,” B.J. Thomas’ “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head” and Dusty Springfield’s “The Look Of Love.” “Taylor Swift is one of the brightest musical talents to emerge in recent years, and represents the true epitome of the Starlight Award,” Hal says. “She possesses an undeniable talent as a songwriter, expressive singer and performer, and we are proud to present her with this well-deserved honor.” Slated for June 17 at the New York Marriott Marquis Hotel, the ceremony will also see the Hall of Fame inductions of Leonard Cohen, Jackie DeShannon, David Foster, Johnny Mandel and five members of Earth, Wind & Fire. All of those writers work primarily outside of country music, though a couple have had some impressive results within the genre. Jackie, best known for her recording of “What The World Needs Now,” earned a country hit in 1994 when Pam Tillis covered “When You Walk In The Room.” David Foster wrote Anne Murray’s 1986 single “Now And Forever (You And Me)” and produced several Kenny Rogers hits, including his 1983 duet with Sheena Easton, “We’ve Got Tonight.” The all-genre Songwriters Hall of Fame has inducted such substantial authors as Bob Dylan, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Cole Porter, George Gershwin and Stevie Wonder. Its membership also includes a number of country figures — Dolly Parton, Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams and Loretta Lynn, among them. blog.gactv.com/blog/2010/05/11/taylor-swift-earns-hall-of-fame-honor/Taylor gets into the Final Round of 2010 CMT Awards Nominations-Video Of The Year-You Belong With Me Female Video Of The Year-You Belong With Me Collaborative Video Of The Year-Best Days Of Your Life With Kellie Pickler

"Love Story" earned Song of the Year for its songwriter and recording artist TAYLOR SWIFT and publisher SONY/ATV MUSIC PUBLISHING. At 20, SWIFT is the youngest songwriter ever to win BMI Pop Song of the Year.
So she won BMI Awards for both Pop and Country Song of the Year. :)
