Breakup queen Taylor Swift discussed her own love story today on Katie. The interview, which was taped this Monday before her alleged breakup with Conor Kennedy, acted as a pseudo therapy session, with Katie Couric serving as psychiatrist (Couric even joked about being Lorraine Bracco from The Sopranos).

Wearing her best “awww, shucks, you’re here for me?” face and patterned, hemline dress, the songstress explained that she’s oblivious when it comes to love. “I don’t know how to have a normal relationship because I try to act normal and love from a normal place and live a normal life, but there is sort of an abnormal magnifying glass, like telescope lens, on everything that happens between me and anybody else. So I don’t know how to do that correctly or anything. I don’t really know that much about love, it turns out.” I think her millions of record-buyers would disagree. READ FULL STORY »

Taylor Swift on 'Ellen': Which ex still rings her bell? -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , , Music, TV

Taylor Swift has a message for John Mayer, Taylor Lautner, Jake Gyllenhaal and more: Don’t send her angry emails.

Swift is on Ellen this afternoon, and in the preview clip below, she talks about trying to maintain “a shred of dignity” by not specifically naming names on songs about ex-boyfriends – because otherwise they’ll send her angry emails. Ellen DeGeneres teased her for awhile about Zac Efron – the two sang a very cute duet together when Swift was last on the program – but Swift insists they never dated, like ever. She was similarly tight-lipped about who “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” was about.

DeGeneres tried to solve the mystery, handing Swift a bell and telling her to ring it when the picture of the guy it’s about came up. She then showed pics of Joe Jonas, Justin Bieber, Mayer and others, but Swift remained silent.

Swift got introspective after many pictures, wondering what so many photos said about the length of her relationships. “There’s never been two guys on the screen two visits in a row,” she said. “It’s sad.”

She should write a song about it.

Check out the interrogation – complete with some telling silence after Cory Monteith’s picture – below: READ FULL STORY »

Taylor Swift talks songwriting, keeps mum about the Kennedys on 'Good Morning America' -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , Music, TV

What’s blond and bright and Red all over? Taylor Swift, who appeared on Good Morning America just hours after her new album shot to number one on iTunes. Wearing an appropriately crimson dress, Swift was all smiles and sunniness — even when anchor George Stephanopoulos tried to sneak in a question about her tabloid-friendly relationship with Connor Kennedy. The songstress dodged the question with expert ease, saying that while she’s happy to sing about her love life, she prefers not to talk about it: “I really think that it sounds more poetic and romantic with music behind it.”

But Taylor was happy to chat about her songwriting process — “I just grab a guitar and make stuff up. Everybody’s got a different way of doing things” — the emotionally draining new tune “All Too Well,” and what makes her smile: “Mostly cats.” Oh, and in case you were looking for Tay-Tay’s TV recommendations, she’s really into CSI, Law & Order, Grey’s Anatomy, Girls, and The Mindy Project. Eclectic!

Check out the full interview below — and if you’re ever in Nashville, keep an eye out for Swift’s dad, Scott. According to Taylor, he likes to walk around giving her old guitar picks to random strangers. He sounds kind of like the Bill Murray of Tennessee.

Guy uses Taylor Swift lyrics to pick up girls -- VIDEO

Tags: , , , , , Music

This would be the beginning of one epic love story.

Lots of young women (and plenty of dudes!) love Taylor Swift. So I suppose it was inevitable that someone would use Ms. Swift — and her songs about boys — to get dates. Filmmaker Tommy Wooldridge went the hidden-camera route in the video below, going up to random girls and dropping Taylor Swift’s most swoon-worthy lyrics as pick-up lines.

From “You’re the reason for the teardrops on my guitar” to “Do you remember we were sitting there by the water?” they’re all here. It’s totally ridiculous, sure, but you have to admire his commitment despite being rejected time after time…after time. And he seems rather sweet, no? A special well played to Mr. Wooldridge for working in “I Knew You Were Trouble,” which was only released last week.

Stand Up to Cancer has raised over $81 million since Friday’s star-studded telethon.

ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC dedicated an hour of commercial-free primetime programming to the nationally televised fundraiser, which was executive produced by Gwyneth Paltrow and Tenth Planet Productions’ Joel Gallen. The event, which was also broadcast on over a dozen cable networks, featured appearances and testimonials from Hollywood A-listers Julia Roberts, Matt Damon, Tom Hanks, Michael Douglas, Halle Berry, Samuel L. Jackson, Jessica Biel, Justin Timberlake, Robert Pattinson, and SU2C co-founder Katie Couric, among others. In addition to staffing the phone bank, stars like Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Alicia Keys, and Tim McGraw also performed on air.

Taylor Swift's latest breakup anthem is totally about Jake Gyllenhaal, maybe

Three weeks ago, amateur Swiftologist Darren Franich casually brushed off the idea that Taylor’s latest single, “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” could possibly be aimed at Jake Gyllenhaal. “The song notably does not mention coffee,” wrote Franich, characteristically succinct . “No way it’s about Gyllenhaal.”

Not so fast, Darren! New evidence indicates that Swift’s single may target Donnie Darko after all — despite the tune’s lack of latte mentions. An unnamed and totally valid source tells US Weekly that the song is definitely about Jake: “It’s definitely about Jake,” he or she says. There you go: incontrovertible proof.

In retrospect, we should have seen this coming.  READ FULL STORY »

Taylor Swift thinks it 'would be amazing' to buy a house near her boyfriend

Taylor Swift is just itching for new song material! The queen of breakup has a new boyfriend in Conor Kennedy — Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s son — and is now considering buying a house near the Kennedy compound. Well, it’s certainly cheaper than flying the 18-year-old Conor out to her anytime she misses him. And as the “highest-paid celeb under 30” with a record-breaking single and highly-anticipated album, she certainly can afford it.

Katy Perry and John Mayer split -- who should he break up with next?

Late yesterday, Us Weekly broke the news that Katy Perry and John Mayer had ended their brief, but no doubt passionate, affair. The pair were first reported to be dating in June, and were spotted “all over each other, making out” at a pool party as recently as Aug. 4. Us insisted the romance was “no summer fling,” and we all dared hope that Perry might tame Mayer’s wild heart (or at least his wild locks). Could this be a romance for the ages? Alas, it was not meant to last. (*Cue Inception horn*)

Of course, Perry is not the only victim of Mayer’s serial dating. The singer has been linked to the likes of Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jessica Simpson, Minka Kelly, Jennifer Aniston, and Taylor Swift. (Fun fact: Wikipedia has a whole section dedicated to Mayer’s torrid affairs.) Since Mayer has dated almost every eligible female in Hollywood, it makes it rather difficult to speculate on who could be next — and that much more fun! Let’s give it the old college try, PopWatchers! READ FULL STORY »
