Taylor Swift

Hi :-) I'm 19. I'm the girl who is best friends with a guitar and writes songs about everything and everyone that happens to me. Names included. ;-) Class of 2008. In my spare time, I like to conduct random baking experiments in my kitchen and write letters to people. I really love people who like my music. They're number 1 on my favorite things list. I'm not a big deal. At all. I love people who are nice to me, I've never been one to say things like "All you people think you know me, well you don't". Because I'm not that complicated. My complications come out in my songs. All you need to do to be my friend is like me. My middle name is Alison. And I'm extremely tall. Like, I'm that really tall person that is blocking your view at a concert. On behalf of all of us, we're sorry. My ideal outfit is a sun dress and cowboy boots. I love surprises and hardwood floors. I like people who are excitable. I think it's endearing when people cry when they're happy. I'm pretty excitable too. I've never been the kind of girl who needs a boyfriend. Plus, guys don't ask me out because they know I'll write songs about them. In life and love, you learn that there comes a time to let go and move on. It's a lesson I learned recently. I wear too many bracelets and I can't concentrate on the conversation if the TV's on. I grew up on a Christmas tree farm. Seriously. I'm fascinated by black and white pictures, I have them hung up everywhere. I like people who can be sarcastic and laugh about tense situations. I never assume someone's not being honest with me. I like to read up on weird medical problems, so if one of my friends ever complains of a headache or stomach ache, I'm probably going to spout off 12 different things that could be wrong with them. Because I'm way paranoid. I think Keri Russell and Ellen DeGeneres are the coolest celebrities ever. I don't like making decisions when I don't have to. So right now my toenails are painted 5 different colors. I will never straighten my hair to impress a guy ever again. There's never going to be a time when I'm annoyed by compliments about my music. I need everything to be organized. All the time. I think little kids are awesome. I'm a thinker and an over-analyzer. I'm not jaded. I'm a fan of fans. You are absolutely wonderful to me. I've got your back, just like you've had mine. To anyone who has gone out and bought my CD, or come to a show, or even turned my song up when it came on the radio, all I can say is thank you. Oh yeah.. My name's Taylor.

Taylor Swift won big at last night’s 37th Annual American Music Awards, taking home five trophies, including the evening’s biggest award, Artist of the Year. Taylor also won the awards for Favorite Female Artist (Country), Favorite Female Artist (Pop/Rock), Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist, and Favorite Album (Country – for Fearless).

Taylor accepted her AMA Awards live via satellite from her concert stage in an empty Wembley Arena in London, where she was rehearsing for tonight’s sold-out show. Taylor and her band stayed up most of the night to watch the show live from the US, and she accepted her last award at almost 4 a.m. London time.

"Music has never been ultimately about competition,” Taylor said while accepting Artist of the Year. “And to even be mentioned in a category with Michael Jackson, who we will miss and love forever, is an unimaginable honor. I just want to say that I'm sending my love to the Jackson family, and to Janet for reaching out to me the way that you have. And, to the fans, you have given me so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving! I hope you guys have an awesome Thanksgiving…..l miss and I love you. Thank you so much!”

The AMA wins cap an unparalleled year for Taylor, who turns 20 in just a few weeks. Taylor’s Fearless CD is the best-selling album of the year in all genres of music, and her AMAs bring her 2009 awards total to 20. Earlier this month Taylor won four CMA Awards, including the industry’s top honor - Entertainer of the Year, and she was also awarded the CMA’s 2009 International Artist Achievement Award. She won this year’s ACM Album of the Year, along with their Crystal Milestone Award, the BMI President’s Award, and the 2009 BMI Country Song of the Year Award. Also this year, Taylor took home an MTV VMA Award, two CMT Music Awards, two Teen Choice Awards, and the NSAI’s Songwriter/Artist of the Year Award.

Taylor will discuss her year with NBC’s Matt Lauer this Thursday (November 26th), when she’s profiled on the network’s “People of the Year” primetime special, airing on NBC at 9 p.m. ET/PT. The special includes what NBC calls “the most fascinating, inspirational, heroic and notorious figures, and most-talked about stories of 2009.” The hour also includes interviews with Susan Boyle, Kobe Bryant, Captain Chesley Sullenberger, and Captain Richard Phillips.

This is a glimpse of what it looked like backstage when we pranked Keith Urban, surprising our crew members on tour, why Demi shouldn't drive jetskis, and some very fashionable hats modeled by my mom and me. I'm leaving for the UK in the morning, so there's a shout out to you guys that I'll be seeing in London and at V-Fest! And it's all set to "One Time" by Justin Bieber. It's very much on repeat at the moment.

This summer has been completely unforgettable, and I got some of the mayhem on video. This one isn't as tour-related as my other ones. This one is just about the stuff we do in our spare time. The song is one of my absolute favorites, and it's called "Closer to Love" by Mat Kearney. Thanks for coming out to see us on tour! I love you!

Hey! I just made a new video blog from our trip to London this week. It includes Caitlin's alter ego, taking a walk through "Willy Wonka's house. It's very candy-licious and there's lots of everything." (AKA Harrod's), Amos and I sharing accessories, theft-proof remote controls, getting severely injured onstage and requiring immediate medical attention (AKA a band aid) and the coolest thing I've ever seen: Magazines with candy bars attached to them. Check it out. :) The song is one of my favorite songs ever by Hellogoodbye.
