Taylor Swift New Album Red Details

Posted on by

Get Details On Taylor Swift’s New Album Red Via Live Chat! Tonight Taylor Swift hosted a LIVE google chat to make some very important announcements! We had our guesses on what she had up her sleeve, and we’re happy to say that…we are NOT disappointed! Taylor answered questions from fans who had gathered in person from around the world to be a part of the chat broadcast in Nashville, and responded to fans from Brazil to Sweden via google chat! She had a lot of info to share and you can catch the recap below! Basically, Swift let everyone know that she will be releasing a brand new album on October 22nd (two whole years in the making) titled Red that will include 16 tracks! Right off the bat she had a lot to say about the inspiration for the album saying: “my world kind of becomes a big storyboard…and everyone in it has the potential to become characters…” -Taylor Swift She also let us know that the meaning behind the title “red” comes from the strong emotions she has (or had) regarding what she referred to as “semi-toxic relationships” she’s experienced. But her relationships aren’t the only ones ending up as lyrics, Swift suggests she pulled from the experiences she watched her friends go through too. Additionally, Taylor addressed the collaborative effort behind the album, discussing how many of the songs are co-written. Letting fans know that she got to work with some of her favorite people in the industry, Swift filled us in on how she wanted to move in a different direction from her last album, Speak Now. Spoiler: one of the people she collaborated with is Ed Sheeran, and the song they worked on was recorded as a duet! (I wonder if there are any OTHER duets…hmmmm….) From other answers to fan questions we learned that Taylor will be globe trotting pretty soon hitting up lots of different place, specifically including NYC during the release week of her album. We also got an inside track on what its like to be in the spotlight and deal with “false rumors”. Ooooooh weeee, that’s a lot of info! On top of all that, to conclude the chat, Taylor debuted (LIVE) her brand new single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together“. Admittedly, this is not a country song, but much more pop…even for Tswift. Yet, I still have faith there will be at least a few country hits out of the 16 total songs on the upcoming album! We are super excited about the new album, and can’t wait to hear what else Taylor has in store for fans! Check out these shots from the Live Chat!

Miley Cyrus On Two and A Half Men

Posted on by

Miley Cyrus Snags Recurring Guest Role On Two and A Half Men. It looks like country singer/teen queen Miley Cyrus will be returning to the small screen. Rumor (as in, take this with a grain of salt) has it that she is slated for a recurring guest role on the long-running CBS sitcom, Two and A Half Men. Apparently, the 19 year old, who recently announced her engagement to Liam Hemsworth, will play the love interest for teenage character, Jake Harper. It doesn’t stop there though, there is supposedly a love triangle in the works as Ashton Kutcher’s character harbors a bit of a crush on the young woman. I’m sorry, but that’s just a little creepy. So, kind of hoping that that part isn’t true, but kudos to her if she really landed the role! I wonder if this means noone should be expecting new music from Miley anytime soon. She recently released a video for her Bob Dylan cover, and it seemed she was getting back in touch with her country roots a little. Maybe it was just a quick detour? What do you think about Cyrus’ return to television? Comment below!

Major Taylor Swift Announcement

Posted on by

Explore the possibilities behind Taylor Swift’s live webchat with us! The anticipation is killing us as we wait for tomorrow to roll around. As you probably already know, Taylor Swift took to YouTube last week to invite fans to a special live webchat event so that she can share some big news. Now we’ve spent the last week combing the web to see if we can guess the announcement. Heck, some of us are even placing bets on what it will be. Here’s what we’ve got so far: We believe that Taylor will be announcing the release date for her new album, and that date will be before September 30th (In order for an album to be considered for a 2013 Grammy, it has to be released by September 30th this year). We also believe that the first leg of her accompanying tour will be announced, with all secondary market (mid-sized cities) dates, and that tour will most likely begin in early November, with a major-market (big city) tour to follow in the spring. Here’s an interview Taylor did with MTV that explores some of the new albums creative proccess: Get More: Music News Of course we could be way off the mark. She could be announcing an engagement to her latest love Conor Kennedy (paired with her sudden publicity around this relationship and the purchase of a $4.9Million dollar home in the Kennedy compound this isn’t so far-fetched.) She could also be sharing the news of her upcoming starring role in the film “Girls Like Us” where she will play the part of Joni Mitchell. Filming for this begins January 13th, 2013 in Los Angeles, California. For more details on the film, visit our source at the Examiner. Either way, when Taylor talks to fans like this, it’s always good news! Tune in Monday August 13th at 7ET 4PST for the big Taylor Swift announcement!
