Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 22, 2014 Members Share Posted November 22, 2014 It is meant to be a joke. It may not come across that way to some, of course, but it is meant to be a joke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 22, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 22, 2014 The song is written from the perspective of the character the tabloids have created. This is one of the things Taylor does very well - taking a negative situation and turning it into a massive hit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oz9wwyLjBb8 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 23, 2014 Members Share Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) A lot of people, myself included, have noticed that the line "a long list of ex lovers" in Blank Space sounds a lot like "Starbucks lovers." It may not have been intentional, but it would be kind of brilliant if Starbucks teamed up with Taylor at some point and based an ad campaign around it .

Administrator Toups Posted November 23, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2014 I now say "Starbucks lovers" ever since I read about that. I can't get it out my head so I just go with it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted November 23, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 23, 2014 Oh, I also say, "Cause we're young and we're restless," instead of "Cause we're young and we're reckless." And now know will too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 25, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 25, 2014 Couldn't find a high quality video on youtube (I think they're being taken down), so I'll just post gifs. Loved her performance of Blank Space! And it wouldn't be an awards if there weren't shots of her dancing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted November 28, 2014 Members Share Posted November 28, 2014 (edited) The reason Taylor didn't star in a biopic about Joni Mitchell? Because two years ago, Joni wouldn't allow it (although she may been criticizing the book the movie would have been based on more than Taylor herself) : http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/joni-mitchell-reveals-why-she-nixed-taylor-swift-starring-biopic-20141125 Edited November 28, 2014 by MissLlanviewPA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 3, 2014 Members Share Posted December 3, 2014 I just saw this for the first time. Taylor covers Vance Joy's "Riptide": 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 4, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted December 4, 2014 MissLPA, I get the feeling you want to know Taylor more. LOL I could post more videos/interviews. I really like that cover. I didn't like much of Vance Joy's album but Riptide is the best song on the album. He's going to be opening for Taylor so at least I'll like one song of his.

Members Eric83 Posted December 5, 2014 Members Share Posted December 5, 2014 (edited) Shake It Off nominated for Record of the Year and Best Pop solo Performance at the Grammy awards. ETA: Nominated for Song of the Year too. Edited December 5, 2014 by Eric83 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 6, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2014 I did not expect Song of the Year so that is a pleasant surprise! Record of the Year nod was obvious though - I want this award most out of the three nominations because I think it's one of Max Martin's best productions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted December 6, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted December 6, 2014 Billboard Woman of the Year Taylor Swift on Writing Her Own Rules, Not Becoming a Cliche and the Hurdle of Going Pop This is going to be one of my favourite interviews of hers. She really shows her savviness and how much in control she has on her own career. It's interviews like this one where I always go, "Wow, she's such an impressive young woman." You can see why she's at the top of the game. My favourite parts: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 15, 2014 Members Share Posted December 15, 2014 Toups, you have to let us know if you're one of the fans Taylor sends a Christmas gift to. That is, if you don't drop dead from shock first. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
