Thanks very much!

What can I say about Taylor Swift that has not been said?

I know the internet has a whole lot of information on her coming in every day.

Though here on the Taylor Swift Connection you will get information that not many other forums get.

For example...did you know that Taylor will not show her belly button?

She says that she is does not want to commit to the belly button thing like Shania.

Also...and you heard it here first...Taylor has a tail!

Andrea was going to name her Tailor... butt decided otherwise.

Anyways if Taylor will not show her belly button...fat chance that she reveals her tail.

This reminds me of a favorite song...goes something like this...

I have a Taylor by the tail...
it's plain to see...
I won't be much...
when she gets through with me.
I'm a losing hate...
and not afraid to tell...
looks like I have a Tailor by the Tayle!

Jeffery...do you think that Taylor looks like Elvis?

[Deleted]

The reason that I mention Elvis is because he is Taylors great uncle...they are doing a duet with Taylor in the Phillipines kinda like Hank Jr and Hank Senior "Tear In My Beer".
Look I am not too sure about Taylor having a Tail of Taylor being related to Elvis...but it is in the Wikipedia and I'll post some observations!


Critical reception

Fearless has received generally positive reviews from music critics. According to the music review aggregator Metacritic, it has received an average score of 73.[16] Newsday gave the album an "A" rating, calling it "wise beyond her years".[17] James Reed of the Boston Globe gave the album a strong positive review saying the "Young country star's 'Fearless' proves she's just that, and more".[18] Allmusic quote the way Swift writes her music and how she matured into her new album: "Swift's gentle touch is as enduring as her songcraft, and this musical maturity may not quite jibe with her age but it does help make Fearless one of the best mainstream pop albums of 2008."[19] Rolling Stone magazine said that her "music mixes an almost impersonal professionalism - it's so rigorously crafted it sounds like it has been scientifically engineered in a hit factory - with confessions that are squirmingly intimate and true."[20] Fearless is listed as the 39th best album of 2008 by Rolling Stone.[21] However, some of her biggest critics believe that she would not be as succesful had her ancestor's record label not given her opportunities that most musicians could only dream of. However, it is to her undying credit that she kept the fact that she is related to The King, Elvis Presley, quiet for so long. Recent media revelations have forced Swift's hand, and a post-humuous duet with her ancestor is currently in post-production in the Phillipines. In the Philippines, the album was also listed #3 in Top 10 Best-Selling Album overall in the year 2009, also the album became the number one album of 2009, she has been the highest selling country music artist in the Philippines, and is been credited to bringing country music to countries where the genre is very unpopular, such as the Philippines.

Fact of fiction?

Did this piece of toast sell for more than the Jesus toast on e-bay?

Taylor has garnered the approval of Barbara Mandrell!

[Deleted]

Has anyone heard that Katy Perry is going to let Taylor have it at the half time show at the superbowl.

Taylor has been looking for a drag out fight since she has entered the Pop genre...no takers ...yet.

A lot of folks dismiss her success and album sales due to her never ending promotion.

They gripe that the music should speak for itself...you do a show and go home.

Taylor has made so many fans by simply meeting them...oh and very hard work.

I feel that hard work should be rewarded...other artists should take note.

I am really hoping that she will return to country music...but I don't think that she will.

Most of you have heard the heat that she has taken in country music...so has she.

She is also the kind of person that holds in her bad opinions...except in song.

Whatever happens in the future...this fact is certain...I still like her music!

nce everyone's been so coy with the details on this feud, our imaginations and theories have been running wild!

If you need a refresher…

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Taylor Swift revealed that her new song Bad Blood was written about a "straight-up enemy" from the pop star arena, but wouldn't reveal a specific name…

Cue an angry Katy Perry tweeting to "Watch out for Regina George in sheep's clothing," igniting rumors that the lyrics are in fact about the Roar singer!

Tay-Tay went into very little detail about the business related fight, but now, sources are speaking out about what lead to the cattiness — and it's all about two extremely different feud angles.

First up, some of

Taylor's dancers apparently left to join Katy's tour, leaving the country starlet to feel betrayed. The catch is, the movers and shakers were supposedly Katy Cat's first — and only joined Swifty while the Prismatic songstress was on a tour break.

The insider continued to reveal the dancers were apparently very up front with Taylor — even saying they didn't want to sign for a full tour and insisted a 30 day out.

But alas, the Grammy winner still held a grudge with Katy, which allegedly spawned the writing of the song!

Secondly, it's being reported that John Mayer only added to the friction between the two musicians, since both gals dated the crooner — and Taylor even wrote a song about him.

All of the (above) is clearly source speculation, so we'll have to wait for some actual answers from these ladies — or at least decode Tay's Bad Blood between the two when the song is released.

If you see this woman...call someone...anyone but Taylor!

Will Taylor Swift return to country music as a real cowboy?

Taylor Swift went for a decidedly different look on the cover of indie fashion mag Wonderland, sporting bold brows and barely there makeup.



The "Blank Space" singer opened up in the publication about the downside of social media and that she really is cool with staying single (for now).

"Twitter's dark underbelly is that it gives people a veil of anonymity: they can have a terrible day at work, feel awful about themselves, come home and get drunk and go call someone ugly on Instagram," she shared.


"If people don't have anyone to talk to about [their problems], they go online and just say wicked, gross, cruel mean-spirited things about people. I wrote ‘Shake It Off' for my own situation, but also for the situation that everyone finds themselves in now. It's not a celebrity issue, it's a people issue."

When asked whether she sees a romance in her near future, T.Swift reiterated that she's all about being single at this point in her life.

QUIZ: Which Taylor Swift song best describes your life?




"I've been with myself for so long now, I like it. I'm not willing to give up that independence for anyone. Basically, there's the tiniest, tiniest, tiniest chance you might find someone you can have a real and long-lasting relationship with. In my teenage years, I was enamored by the idea of romance because I thought it was going to be this ‘happily ever after' situation."

And in case you were curious as to why the 1989 songstress was MIA for this past weekend's EMAs, it turns out that she had a very important person to meet up with…her brother.



Austin, 22, was in a college performance of Six Characters in Search of an Author at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana and his older sister would not miss it for the world.



Siblings gotta stick together!

She’s a seven-time Grammy winner — possibly more come February — and a recent recipient of the inaugural Dick Clark Award for Excellence at the 2014 American Music Awards.

She has an album on Rolling Stone’s list of The 50 Greatest Albums of All Time by women; Time magazine named her one of the 100 Most Influential People and she was just named as Billboard’s youngest-ever Woman of the Year.

Now, pop superstar Taylor Swift can add one more thing to her long list of credits: a museum exhibit.

The Grammy Museum will mark the singer’s 25th birthday on Dec. 13 by opening “The Taylor Swift Experience,” an exhibit that runs through May 10 and focuses on her music and life.


“She’s so relevant and so important and integral to the music industry and the way that it’s changing. You can’t deny her importance,” said Nwaka Onwusa, associate curator at the museum during a preview of the exhibit.

The exhibit encompasses the second floor of the downtown L.A. museum and includes nearly 100 items that celebrate the singer’s career, including family and concert photographs, home videos, outfits, musical instruments, handwritten lyrics and awards.

There are also interactive components like a mixing board where visitors can create their own versions of her songs and a song booth where they can sing along to her music with Swift providing the backing vocals.

Here is Tigger comparing Tails with Taylor!







“We wanted to show the makings of a superstar and how that happened,” Onwusa said.

The exhibit begins at the museum’s entrance on the ground floor where the red piano she played on her “Red” tour is on display. An escalator then takes visitors to the second floor where they will see her named written in bright pink neon above a wall-sized jukebox. A video screen in the middle of the jukebox plays her music videos and there is a small dance floor in front where guests are encouraged to ‘Shake it Off.’


To the right is the main portion of the exhibit which includes the flowing blue gown she wore during the filming of her music video for “Our Song,” next to it is a pair of pom poms and a megaphone she used in the “Shake it Off” video.

Other standout items include the bright red sparkling outfit she wore during the tour for her “Red” album. It’s displayed alongside a red guitar decorated in sparkles and hearts and the similarly blinged-out microphone and stand. The blue dress she wore at the 2009 Grammys and the award she won that night for Best Female Country Vocal Performance are on display as well.

Some of the more personal items include family photographs of her as a baby and another as a little girl reading a book. There are pictures of her on a horse and behind a drum set. There is also a newspaper clipping with a picture of a 12-year-old Swift singing the National Anthem at a 76ers game, and videos of her singing karaoke and as a baby pounding on the piano next to her grandma, who was an opera singer.

There are handwritten lyrics to songs like “White Horse,” a song from her second album “Fearless” that’s about accepting the end of a relationship. Swift wrote the song on a white piece of paper and on one side she drew a heart with angel wings and a halo above. She drew an arrow below it pointing to another drawing of a heart that’s broken in half.

“The fact that she’s still writing handwritten lyrics is a great point to her creativity and where her mind is. It’s a lost art, people are writing their lyrics on computers and on cell phones but she’s still hand writing,” Onwusa said.

In the past, the Grammy Museum has held exhibitions dedicated to artists such as Bob Marley, John Lennon, Roy Orbison, Elvis Presley, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.

Swift, who will perform at the nearby Staples Center in August as part of her “1989” world tour, is the youngest artist to be featured in a Grammy Museum exhibit.

Allyson Kaufman, 23, a fan passing by the museum before the exhibit opened, said Swift’s music is relatable and that she deserved the exhibit, adding she would be checking it out once it opened.

The Reading, Pennsylvania-born singer began pursuing a singing career in country music before she was even in her teens and released her first self-titled album in 2006. The first single, “Tim McGraw,” stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 for 20 weeks and reached No. 6 on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Since then she’s released five albums with sales exceeding 30 million records and about 80 million song downloads, with her latest release, the pop-heavy “1989,” debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and selling 1.29 million copies its first week.

Her most recent award at the AMA’s was earned through her album sales as the only artist in history to have three albums debut with more than 1 million sold in the first week — “Speak Now,” “Red” and “1989.”

“Tonight I am honored, we all are honored to present this to a young woman who has taken the music industry by storm and we’ve fallen in love with her,” said music legend Diana Ross back in November when she presented Swift with the Dick Clark Award at the AMAs.

The museum’s exhibit ends with a display that’s meant to show the singer’s growing impact on music and pop culture with a wall that’s covered with Swift’s various national and international magazine covers, which include Billboard, Vogue, Time and Rolling Stone.


“This is our impact wall,” Onwusa said, “just to show what a global impact this girl has.”

To the dear readers of whom I may have shaken up......I owe you an apology!

Here goes...

Taylor does not possess a tail...unless it is a pony tail.

She is not sprouting wings...though someday she could.

She may not be directly related to Elvis...brothers and sisters.



You know...I think I'll with hold that apology...and play a video!

Except you can't play any original music...you have to hear cover bands.

This young lady covers a lot of artists...don't know who she is but...

youtu.be/d5ecHP3JX5w

I really think that she is more talented than Taylor...

But Taylor is the genesis of the song...the writer rules....always!

These lyrics are nice...that's what we need more of now a days...nice.

Before I forget...

Sorry...

theirs my apology!!!!!

Happy Birthday to Elvis...great grand uncle to the golden one!
