Anyway, The Smoking Gun has an article if you’re interested to know what Taylor ate during her tour.

On her 2008 tour rider, country singer Taylor Swift helpfully explains one of her catering demands: “1 Bag frozen Edemame (it’s soy beans…in frozen vegetable section).” Of course, all those cases of Smart Water loaded onto the 18-year-old star’s tour bus could not thwart the misspelling of the healthy snack. As seen below, the Grammy nominee (and platinum-selling) Swift has her luncheon meat, Starbucks grandes, and “Ben/Jerry’s” pints delivered to her bus. Additionally, Saturday appears to be pasta night for the singer, who surely could do better that a jar of Ragu spaghetti sauce. (2 pages)

Taylor posted a new blog on her myspace. She asked us to vote for her at AMA. Click on the link at the left sidebar and VOTE VOTE VOTE for Taylor! She also put off pregnancy rumors that flew around. Where did they come from?! People could be desperate sometimes.

Edit: I added another picture from Taylor at Ellen with Ellen DeGeneres and Justin Timberlake. Also added 2 pictures from Damian Dovarganes photoshoot.

If you came here often, you might know my habits to screencap iTunes chart…
Well, here’s the latest, take a look.

Please continue to support Taylor. You can grab a new banner here. Sample is at the top of this page, below the header. Make sure you link it to the correct place. No hotlinking please.

EDIT: So we knew that Taylor will be on Ellen next week and if you listen to the Ryan Seacrest interview, you’ll know that she taped Ellen the night before. Well, guess who she met on Ellen?!

Taylor Swift reveals surprising new details about her breakup with Joe Jonas on next Tuesday’s “The Ellen DeGeneres Show,” and Ellen surprises the 18-year-old country star with a visit from her A-list “musical crush” — a star so big you won’t believe it!

Admitting to Ellen that Joe Jonas is “not in my life anymore,” Taylor says that when she eventually meets the right guy, “I’m not even going to be able to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.”

But Ellen has just the cure for her break-up blues: A surprise visit from Justin Timberlake! “This makes it all better,” Taylor exclaims upon meeting and hugging Justin, who knowingly tells her, “We’ve all been there, Taylor. We’ve all been there.”

For more of Taylor and Justin, tune into “Ellen” next Tuesday, November 11 — the day Taylor’s new album Fearless releases!

November 11th.

Description: This is a video of what I’ve been up to lately. It covers voting, Rascal Flatts pranking me, Halloween with my band, and shows. And in the end, a few of my favorite people remind you that my album comes out… you guessed it… November 11th.

Mass Live has a review of the last Rascal Flatts concert on 2008, which of course opened by Taylor.

Taylor Swift took advantage of her 45-minute opening set, winning over the crowd with her sassy, rocked up country. The young singer debuted material from her album “Fearless,” which is due out on Tuesday, and also played hits like “Our Song” and “Picture to Burn.”

During the latter number, Swift’s road crew stormed the stage in blond-wigged drag to imitate their boss on the finale night of the tour.

Let’s make it number 1 like we did on her previous 3 singles on Fearless.

Also, Taylor will be presenting as well as perfoming on CMA awards (November 12).
It’s only one week til Fearless release!!!!!
Exciting much??!

OK! Magazine has a video of Taylor answering questions. She answered questions about why she named her album Fearless, the most personal song on her album, how she became friend with Kellie Pickler, the most nervewracking moment for her, what did she do with her awards, sharing her beauty tips, what’s on her iPod, and whether she really burn pictures when she gets mad.

On other news, Taylor is GAC Artist of The Month. GAC has an article about Love Story behind the scenes. I suspect this one will air as Making Love Story video on November 5.

“When I wrote the song I had the vision for the video in my head, and I wanted it to take place back in time because the song talks about a love I think can happen in the 1700s, the 1800s or in 2008,” says Swift. “This is something I’ve really looked forward to doing for a long time now so I’m really excited about taking people back in time.”

For two days Taylor worked with long-time director Trey Fanjoy to recreate both of their visions on the small screen. The video was shot in two locations — the Castle Gwynn in Arrington, Tenn. and Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tenn.

“I was wondering how they would find a cool castle in Tennessee! I didn’t think there were castles in Tennessee at all, but it turns out I was wrong. When I got to the set, I thought the castle looked amazing.” recalls Swift.

People has an article about CMT Giants and Taylor was mentioned.

Taylor Swift, who calls Jackson “one of my songwriting heroes,” sang his tune “Drive” – a song she says that “really bonded my dad and I.” (Dad Scott admitted to tearing up during her rehearsal.)

The New Yorker wrote about Taylor too. Here’s a tiny bit of the article:

Taylor Swift, a slender, pale eighteen-year-old with curly blond hair that hangs in long tresses, is one of the biggest young stars in popular music. I recently caught her at an arena in St. Paul, where she opened for the country trio Rascal Flatts. Before the show, she chatted calmly with her mother, Andrea. “So the hockey team is the Wild or the Wilds?” Taylor asked a stagehand as she prepared her between-song patter. A few minutes later, the crowd cheered as she came onstage in a sleeveless, calf-length goldsequinned dress, and the cheering continued throughout her performance. It became obvious that she and Rascal Flatts had equal claims on the room. Strutting across stage platforms, performing a percussion duet on garbage cans, and switching gears without pause—her voice, all the while, light and breathy and without affectation—she returned the crowd’s energy with the professionalism she has shown since the age of fourteen, when she was signed as a songwriter to Sony/ATV Music Publishing, in Nashville.
