During the course of her hectic Friday,
Miss Swift was also spotted grabbing dinner at Il Pastaio restaurant while still
clad in a bright yellow and white dress with a pair of red heels.
As for the next two days, Taylor will be
attending the ACM Awards on Sunday night (April 1) while she's also set to be
doted with the Big Help Award during Saturday night's Nickelodeon Kids' Choice
Awards.
Making the occasion extra-special, the
22-year-old will be presented with the honor by First Lady Michelle
Obama.
Chosen as the recipient thanks to her
philanthropic endeavors - which includes her work with U.S. tornado and flood
survivors - Nickelodeon Executive Vice President, Marva Smalls, said of the
selection: "Taylor's dedication to helping others has encouraged her fan base to
do the same, and this is the very core of what The Big Help is, inspiring others
through action. We are honored that First Lady Michelle Obama, a past recipient
of The Big Help Award will be presenting this formidable and inspiring artist
with this much deserved honor."
Performing her heart out, Taylor Swift
was busy rocking out at the Vector Arena in Auckland, New Zealand on
Sunday.
The county cutie looked amazing through
her numerous outfit changes, sporting everything from a white lace dress to a
bright red sparkling frock with cowboy boots.
During the course of the gig, Miss Swift
spoke to the audience leading into her "The Hunger Games" soundtrack "Eyes Wide
Open" live premiere, saying, "This next song is from the soundtrack of 'The
Hunger Games'. I was luck enough to have, um, two songs on that soundtrack, so
I'm really excited about that."
With "Safe & Sound" being Taylor's
other movie-made song, she told Rolling Stone that writing about someone else's
life was a nice change, explaining, "It's pretty intense writing about my own
life, my own struggles. It was almost like a vacation to get to write from
someone else's perspective."

The Hunger Games debuted with a whopping
$155 million at the box office in its opening weekend, trailing only the Harry
Potter finale and The Dark Knight in the domestic record book.
Lions Gate shareholders aren’t the only
ones benefitting from this weekend’s success. The musicians behind the film’s
soundtrack, which is expected to make its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard charts
with close to 200,000 units sold, are set for a strong payday. That list
includes The Decemberists, Arcade Fire, Kid Cudi, The Civil Wars and Taylor
Swift.
Swift, an avid fan of the books upon
which the film is based, stands to gain the most. She recorded two songs on the
album, including “Safe and Sound,” a collaboration with The Civil Wars. The
single debuted ahead of the film and has already topped 600,000 downloads. That
song alone could earn Swift a six-figure check.
So how much can the 22-year-old expect to
see in total from the soundtrack? If The Hunger Games enjoys the continued
success analysts expect, it’s not too much of a stretch to imagine the audio
version moving 1 million copies worldwide.
Given that Swift is also credited as a
songwriter, she’ll share in the publishing royalties—about 9 cents per song
sold, or $180,000 given the earlier sales projection—plus more for radio play
and other uses of the tunes.
Assuming a wholesale price of $10 and a
typical recorded music royalty of 15%, Swift figures to take home the bulk of
the $0.19 artist’s share of her two songs on the 16-track album, or $190,000.All
in all, Swift could earn close to $400,000 for her efforts. That’s a drop in the
bucket for someone who earned $45 million last year, but not a bad return for
recording two songs for the film adaptation of a favorite book.The biggest
winner, of course, is Lions Gate. According to Stifel’s Mogil, the company
stands to pull in profits of $280 million from the film when all’s said and
done.

Stepping out to see the highly
anticipated movie "The Hunger Games," Taylor Swift was spotted at the movies
with a group of friends for a girl's night viewing.
The country singing superstar looked
flawless in maroon colored jeans and a tan blazer with a patterned shirt
underneath while joined at the cinema by "Glee" actress Dianna Agron.
Besides the country icon and her group of
girlfriends, there were of course hundreds of other people there dying to see
the movie that recently took the spot of third largest opening weekend in movie
history.
Outside of movie nights, it looks like
Argon and Swift might be seeing more of each other. In a recent report put out
by the New York Post, both girls are on the guest list for next month's second
annual Tim Tebow Foundation Charity Golf Tournament in Ponte Vedra,
Florida.
When Taylor Swift glided to the stage to
accept her first Grammy of the night—Best Country Solo Performance for her song
"Mean"—she delivered one of the better lines of the evening.
"There's nothing like writing a song
about someone who's really mean to you and makes you life miserable," she said,
"and then winning a Grammy for it."
The song in question quickly won another
Grammy, this time for Best Country Song. Swift returned to the stage and
proceeded to thank everyone she could think of, including the people clapping in
the audience.
Winning the award will do a lot more for
than settling a score—Taylor Swift is a prime example of how Grammy wins can
help boost earnings.
To be sure, there are other factors at
play when earnings rise so sharply. For an artist like Taylor Swift, radio play
and other sorts of exposure certainly factor into the increase. And it’s hard to
gain more exposure than she already has. But there's no doubt that her Grammy
wins have played a role in fueling that success.
Perhaps Swift put it best herself moments
after her second Grammy win of the year, saying simply: "This is
unbelievable."

While most celebrities are known for
random party photos or the occasional didn’t-mean-for-anyone-to-see-that-moment
snapshots, Taylor Swift recently retweeted a friend’s candid photo of her —
playing dress-up. Looking like happy little girls enjoying a moment of delight,
Swift and pal Claire Kislinger are decked out in charming dresses, and Swift’s
appears to be a wedding gown with a matching veil of some sort.
Kislinger has donned a strapless
rose-colored lacy dress with a crown of roses atop her auburn locks. With
Swift’s vintage sunglasses and long strands of peals draped over her neck, the
two truly do look like two girls out of a storybook. But then there’s also that
wine rack right behind them reminding the viewer that these are not just two
little girls playing dress up in mom’s closet, but two grown women having a good
time and not being afraid to goof around for a bit.
Though she’s a 22-year-old international
phenomenon who has recently traveled the world, launched her own perfume line,
landed songs in a major soundtrack, provided the voice for a film that turned
out to be a box office hit, made countless talk show appearances and balanced
all that comes from being an in-demand star, it’s nice to see Swift truly
doesn’t take herself too seriously. She’s real, and that seems to be one of the
things her fans most admire.
Taylor Swift and B.o.B. have shared the
stage together, but now the two stars have recorded a brand-new song for the
rapper's forthcoming album, 'Strange Clouds.'
B.o.B. and T.I. were interviewed by Fuse
at the music festival portion of South by Southwest (SXSW), where the 'Nothin'
on you' star denied the collaboration. However, Tip wasn't shy about confirming
the news.
"I can neither confirm nor deny such
allegations,' B.o.B. said. T.I. quickly interjected, "I can. I heard it," he
said, adding, "Taylor's extended Hustle Gang. She just isn’t got her dog tags
yet, but she's a part of the crew, though."
Bobby Ray and T-Swift's first team-up was
in Dallas last year, where they performed 'Airplanes' during the country star's
Speak Now tour. "Tonight was like a dream," Tay wrote on Twitter. "That crowd.
The biggest indoor stadium in the world. 'Strange Clouds' arrives on May 1. Will
you be picking up B.o.B.'s new album?

Taylor Swift lets her guard down just
enough to suggest she has sexual fantasies in a dreamy new commercial for her
fragrance Wonderstruck. Her dream state has a theme park feel. She must be one
hot carnival ride.
The country singer has earned the right
to dream. She was recently named the top earning music star with an estimated
income of $35 million in 2011, according to Billboard.
Most of the money came from her music a
touring, but she is also fast becoming a brand. Her fragrance is just one of the
offshoots of her burgeoning career. She has her own management company and a
lucrative deal with Covergirl.
In the 34-second spot, Taylor is demure
in light makeup and a very neutral gray dress. She pauses to look in a mirror in
a largely colorless room. She arches her head, exposes her long neck and sprites
on a misting of her perfume.
The mirror glows and the room
transformers into an ornate chamber, probably not a lot unlike how you might
imagine her bedroom. It has its own delicate carousel. Her dress has blossomed
into a peach-colored antebellum gown.
It looks like Taylor Swift doesn’t just
love cat shirts, she also loves kitty cats!
In a new video shot by the country cutie
with an obvious emphasis on cutie , the singer gives her recently adopted kitten
a quick lesson on the Academy of Country Music Awards and how she's nominated
for Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the
Year.
Is there anyone who knows how to do retro
chic without looking frumpy or dated better than Taylor Swift?
The 22-year-old country cutie touched
down in Los Angeles after wrapping up a whirlwind world tour that ended in
Aukland, New Zealand. Even though she'd been on a plane for hours, Swift still
managed to rock a charmingly girly travel look that was perfectly in line with
the singer's vintage aesthetic.
Swift is surely happy to be relaxing at
home after her latest tour, which has lasted for over a year. "Tonight we ended
a 13 month tour. It was a beautiful trip around the world and I wouldn't trade
those memories for anything. Thanks guys," she tweeted after her last concert in
New Zealand. Upon arriving home, Taylor couldn't resist posting a photo of her
adorable kitten, Meredith, to her Instagram account.
Swift paired a printed orange dress with
a bold mustard coat and garnet-colored velvet flats. The "Safe and Sound" singer
accessorized her simple, yet totally stylish, airport style with pearls, ruby
red lips, and her beloved guitar. Too cute!

Taylor Swift and Zac Efron appeared on 'The Ellen Degeneres Show' today,
where they not only promoted their new animated film, 'Dr. Seuss' The Lorax,'
but also performed a duet set to the sounds of Foster the People's 'Pumped Up
Kicks.'
The 22-year-old country singer explained that she had given her co-star a
guitar lesson, and complimented him by saying he was "really good at it." Then
Tay and Zac broke out into a rendition of Foster the People's mega hit, only
with new lyrics, which poked fun at Ellen.
But while Taylor and Zac do have chemistry, it ends on the friend level.
"We are not a couple," the singer confirmed. "He's awesome -- we are not a
couple, though. You hear people get together when they're shooting movies,
co-stars. But not like animated co-stars. You know what I'm saying."

As we previously reported, Taylor Swift
has not one, but two songs on the 'Hunger Games' soundtrack, and now fans can
listen to her second track, 'Eyes Open.'
The tune features the 22-year-old's
signature lyrics, but the music is surprisingly more rock-oriented than what
we're used to hearing from Taylor. Electric guitars and pulsing bass lines frame
the country star's melodic voice in the power ballad, which we think is yet
another hit.
The song, which follows 'Safe &
Sound,' the lead single from the movie. Taylor recorded the initial tune with
the Civil Wars, and has performed it a handful of times on stage.
Listen to 'Eyes Open' below and let us
know what you think of it in the comments. 'The Hunger Games' soundtrack arrives
on March 20, three days before the film opens in theaters nationwide.

Taylor Swift, Zac Efron, Ed Helms and Rob
Riggle did their best Dr. Seuss rhyming for us on the red carpet for The Lorax
on Sunday at Universal Studios Hollywood.
And while we were hoping for an original
Taylor rhyme (she is an award-winning songwriter after all), she impressively
quoted Seuss himself, "Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
nothing's going to get better, it's not."
As for Zac, he ended it with an
environmental message in keeping with the movie's theme. "Check out The Lorax,
it's one of a kind. Get your tickets, step in line, Watch it all the way
through, cuz you can't hit rewind, Go green, it's about time."

spilled that she wanted to do the movie because it was Dr. Seuss, who inspired
her to write music.
"I became obsessed with poetry after I
discovered Dr. Seuss's books. And that later turned into writing songs which has
then turned my life into something really fun," said Swift.
"There's such an amazing cast in this
movie. Zac's in it, Ed Helms, Betty White and so many people that I really
admire. They've all come together in this cast to voice these
characters."
"You're imagining how she talks, how she
thinks, how she responds," said Swift. "They'll be like we need a response, we
need ad libs, we need you to scream, and we need you to act surprised. And
you're just making sounds and you feel crazy. But that's when you separate
yourself from the character per say."
Taylor also revealed the recording

Taylor Swift is gracing the cover of the
April issue of Australia's Harper's Bazaar, and in her photo spread she's
snapped wearing a piece from Kanye West's clothing line.
While Taylor is also rocking looks by Miu
Miu, Lanvin and Tom Ford in the stunning images, the striped Kanye West top that
she's donning under a Maison Martin Margiela wrap in this pic has made the
biggest headlines. As fans recall, the rapper infamously interrupted the country
singer during her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, creating
tension between the two stars.
According to People, Taylor, who just
kicked off her Australian 'Speak Now' tour, also opens up about her love life
and the stars she admires. Adele, Nicki Minaj and Zooey Deschanel were at the
top of her list.
However, Taylor and Kanye have buried the
hatchet for quite some time. In addition to penning the song 'Innocent' for the
hip-hop entreprenuer, Tay was spotted giving Ye a "'down low' high five" at the
2011 Met Costume Institute Gala in October.

Taylor Swift ia very well known as a
singer to us.The 22-year-old country queen took a break from her Speak Now
concert tour in Australia to splash close to at Cottesloe seashore in Perth
displaying away her curves inside a retro dark and bright halter
swimsuit.
Taylor Swift appears fantastic inside a
teeny bikini! Accessorizing her 50s-style match with tortoiseshell sunglasses.
The Lorax star wore her curly hair inside a loose ponytail whilst heading
barefoot from the sand.
"Acting is anything I've been fascinated
by my whole life," Swift -- who recorded her part to the Lorax inside a
voiceover booth -- informed MTV. "I would wish to possess the time, the
capability and also the adore for something, the love for a character to where I
could really make that commitment to it."
Currently tough at perform around the
path entertaining marketed out crowds worldwide, Swift -- who saw her most
current Dr. Seuss movie venture break box workplace information this weekend --
says she wouldn't thoughts settling into an acting career, granted the best
suited quantity of spare time.
I hope Taylor Swift would be better in
the interpretation.
Taylor Swift produced her large display
debut in your ensemble rom-com Valentine's day time in 2010, but now the
22-year-old is prepared for any larger challenge. Swift was, however, in a
location to dabble in your planet of movie having a voice part in your Lorax,
centered on the preferred publication by Dr. Suess. Zac Efron, Betty White,
Danny DeVito and fashionable Ed hardy Helms also lent their talents for the
animated feature.
"Acting is something I've been fascinated
by my whole life," Swift tells MTV. Although she's been studying scripts in her
spare time for 5 years, Swift's busy routine hasn't produced it feasible for her
acting dreams to come to be a reality.
"I would wish to possess the time, the
capability as properly as the adore for something, the adore for any character
to exactly where I could definitely make that responsibility to it."
"What people don't believe about with
character acting in your voice-over type is you're creating loads of sounds,"
Swift tells MTV. "It's incredibly various from when you're singing that written
by yourself. With this, you're sitting there inside a booth by yourself
obtaining conversations without any one."
Taylor Swift says she loved the process
of creating an animated character for the new film "Dr. Seuss' The Lorax," which
required her to talk to herself.
"I always wanted to know how they put
that together," she added. "It turns out you're in the studio all by yourself,
talking to yourself, and creating a character based on what her voice sounds
like, which is a really interesting place to start - I just loved it, I thought
it was wonderful."
The movie was released on Friday, March
2, on what would have been the 108th birthday of Seuss. The writer and poet,
whose real name was Theodor Seuss Geisel, died at age 87 in 1991. "The Lorax"
film is based on his 1971 book. Swift, 22, portrays a girl named Audrey, which
is also the name of the writer's widow.
"I was so happy because I was in this
movie thinking, I just felt so lucky to get be a part of something like this,"
she said. "It's such a fun movie and its going to be so great for families and
for people to see this, and then you know they're going to walk out of the
theater thinking about their lives, and how to better preserve the
environment."
Taylor Swift is no stranger as a good
singer.However,does Taylor Swift be a stranger to some documenting studio? Of
course not!She has been getten invested a healthful portion of her teen many
years in an isolation booth laying cutting vocals for her numerous
Grammy-winning hits. But for her upcoming animated feature, Taylor has
experienced an extremely various knowledge using the mic.
But it experienced been all worth it for
Taylor to depict a character she seriously linked with. "I really, seriously
associated towards character," she said. "I believe she's heavenly. She's this
sort of a day-dreamer and cares concerning the past, which can make her so a
great deal various from everybody else while in the culture her lifestyles in.
No 1 in her culture honors the past. They just believe about most suitable now,
plus they don't believe concerning the future. They're just stuck while in the
moment, and also to some level you need to possess a priority around the
previous and future."
"You're sitting there while in the booth
getting conversations without any one," Taylor continued. "There's no 1 there.
most of us recorded our elements in various places, so you're attempting to are
available up with what the various characters can be saying back again to you,
anticipate their responses, how you would respond to that, how you would react.
What folks don't believe about with character acting while in the voice-over
form, you're generating lots of seems lots of times."
"My preferred component about getting a
component with this motion picture is, well, it's an entirely various room which
you go to inside your head," Taylor informed MTV information recently. "Because
you're while in the studio, which I have finished a lot, but it's extremely
various while you sing tracks you wrote, and you're attempting to entry people
feelings which you felt while you authored the song."
Taylor Swift is a shining star of today's
pop music. She is very pretty, and her songs are also very good. Her song is in
line with the tastes of most of the young people.
At the youthful age of 22, Taylor Swift
has racked in a great deal more awards and accolades than various musicians
twice her age. But by that similar token, she's also experienced a great deal
more feelings and heartbreak than the majority of her peers - hence, her
songs.
“There’s just been this earth-shattering,
not recent, but complete crash-and-burn heartbreak,” she tells the feb situation
of Vogue, “and which will turn out being what the upcoming album is
about.
"The only way which I can really feel
much better about myself — pull myself away from that awful discomfort of
dropping somebody — is crafting tunes about it to obtain some sort of
clarity.”
"I obtained absolutely nothing heading
on! I just don't definitely really feel like dating," she said. "I definitely
have this good existence proper now, and I'm not sad and I'm not crying this
Christmas, so I am definitely stoked about that."
“I believe I am intelligent unless I am
really, definitely in love, after which I am ridiculously stupid," she stated of
her adore life, which she has at present set on hold.
Taylor Swift is my favorite singer .I
wish she can be better in the future. Best wishes to her.
