Taylor Swift Takes A Break From The Spotlight

In an effort to avoid overexposure, Scott Borchetta, head of Taylor Swift’s record label, announced that Swift will be taking a break from the spotlight.

“She was on an amazing writing spree through December and January, and we were able to go in and cut all those things,” Borchetta says. “If she writes something great between now and July, it will go on the record. She’s been extraordinarily prolific the last six months.”

After winning the Country Music Award for Entertainer of the Year and the youngest artist in history to win a Grammy for Album of The Year, with over 10 million albums sold and 23 songs in the top 40 on the charts, I’d say Swift is already overexposed. The negative reaction to Swift’s Grammy win was probably the deciding factor to keep Swift out of the spotlight.

How long will Swift be laying low? Her third album is due out by the end of the year and her first single is expected to make its way to radio sometime in September, so if you want to catch a glimpse of Swift, you’ll have to track her down on her world tour.

Do you thank Taylor Swift is overexposed?

Taylor Swift Is Suing Sports Bar

Country sensation Taylor Swift is suing the owners of a bar in Idaho for allegedly playing her songs without permission.

The Love Story hit-maker has teamed up with Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI), the organization which collects license fees on behalf of songwriters and distributes them as royalties, to file a copyright infringement lawsuit against The Sports Cellar venue.

The legal action comes after BMI representatives allegedly discovered that Swift’s hits were being used to entertain revelers even though the bar’s owners had failed to obtain a proper music license.

According to TMZ.com, Swift and BMI bosses are seeking unspecified damages.

MILEY CYRUS & TAYLOR SWIFT TO DO A DUET AT THE GRAMMY’S

 

Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift broke the news yesterday on the Ryan Seacrest morning show on KIISFM. Taylor told Ryan that she knew when she was conceptualizing her performance for the show, she had to get Cyrus onboard.

“We all came to the consensus, ‘Wouldn’t it be cool if Miley was up there too?’ ” Swift told Ryan Seacrest when she and Cyrus called into his radio show on Tuesday morning (February 3). “And she said yes, and we’re really excited about it.”

The two will be singing Taylor’s song “Fifteen.” 

“The lyrics are very inspiring,” Cyrus added about the song. “A lot of girls are inspired by us, so this song is us giving our advice. … This song is pretty perfect for the Grammys.”

Taylor and Miley have HUGE fan bases, so I’m guessing this was the Grammy’s attempt to get people to watch the show this coming weekend since no one seems to be tuning into awards shows lately…
