Taylor Swift

Ah, the humble bob. With numerous celebrities opting for getting the chop, so many of us giddy civilians have followed suit. Making the leap from having long flowing tresses to a short, choppy bob is enough to strike fear into the heart of any woman but with so many gorgeous, shoulder length styles flooding our screens, how could we have possibly resisted?

We reckon having a whole load of money makes it super easy for celebs to chop and change. With world class extensions and stylists and even WIGS on hand, a bob is far from permanent.

For us real life woman, getting the chop is a huge change and even bigger commitment. And we won’t even start on the woes of trying to grow one out (we are talking YEARS).

Contemplating the leap? Check out eight super famous ladies who have sported both long hair and the perfect bob. 

 

1) Jennifer Lawrence 

 

Our favourite funny gal Jen has had a major hair transformation since hitting the limelight in 2011. Bursting onto the scene with long, blonde tresses, she was soon sporting her trademark Katniss Everdeen brown. And how did she celebrate the end of the Hunger Games franchise? By changing up her look of course. Jen was spotted with a choppy, shoulder length bob in peroxide blonde. We think she looks sexier than ever. 

 

2) Kylie Jenner

 

Kylie seems to have a new look every other day (which is probably easy when you have hairstylists on speed dial and a seemingly never ending supply of extensions and wigs). Kylie regularly swaps between a short bob and super long tresses and loves playing with colour having sported blue, green and most recently blonde locks. Though she seems to favour super long hair with the help of her trademark extensions, we love seeing Kylie with a bob for a more natural look. 

 

3) Lily Collins 

 

For an example of how much of a difference a haircut can make, look no further than Phil Collins’ offspring, Lily. Starting out her impressive acting career with long natural brown hair, she got the chop following her stint in the Mortal Instruments movie franchise. Lily’s bob gave us a perfect case of hair envy to add to our already budding brow envy and we think this hairstyle is the perfect grown up look. 

 

4) Emma Stone 

 

One of our fave actresses Emma Stone regularly changes up her look. Going blonde for her stint as Gwen Stacey in Spiderman with her beau Andrew Garfield before returning to her trademark red (which is NOT her natural colour. Emma is apparently naturally blonde). Another celeb who has opted to swap long hair for a choppy long bob, we think she pulls off this look flawlessly. 

 

5) Karlie Kloss 

Model sensation and Victoria’s Secret Angel Karlie started her career with long, naturally brown hair. Already stunning, she enhanced her look by dying her hair an ashy blonde and getting her tresses cut up to her shoulders. We think this bob is amazing, but when you have a face like that it is hard not to look amazing!

 

6) Sienna Miller 

 

Street style icon Sienna coined ‘bohemian chic’ and did so with long, boho waves in her early days as a model. Now an established actress, Sienna has gone for an elegant bob and continues to set beauty and fashion trends. We would defo bring her photo into the hair salon as an example of short haired perfection. 

 

7) Vanessa Hudgens 

 

Former High School Musical star Vanessa is known for her eclectic, quirky fashion sense and for always having a ridiculously delicious man on her arm (we are talking Zac Efron AND Austin Butler people). As she transitioned from teenage starlet to grown up twenty something, her hair transitioned as well. We love her grown up look and the perfect bob to match. 

 

8) Taylor Swift 

 

Our Tay Tay has grown up a lot over the last few years. From a starry eyed country star singing about Romeo and Juliet to the queen of pop music who is single handedly turning the industry on its head, Tay has had the hair transformation to match. Keeping her natural colour, Taylor opted to cut her hair short for the release of her platinum selling album 1989 and we think it perfectly matches her elegant, preppy fashion sense. Keep it real, Tay.

Something tells us the judge that dismissed this case for Taylor is a bit of a Swifty.

Jessie Braham accused Taylor of taking lyrics for her song Shake it Off from his track Haters Gone Hate, which he claimed 92% of the song was plagiarised from his. 

The case was brought to court this week and was dismissed due to lack of evidence. But the way the verdict was delivered by Judge Gail Standish is going to win the hearts of Taylor Swift fans everywhere.

“At present, the Court is not saying that Braham can never, ever, ever get his case back in court,” Judge Standish wrote. “But, for now, we have got problems, and the Court is not sure Braham can solve them.

"As currently drafted, the Complaint has a blank space—one that requires Braham to do more than write his name. And, upon consideration of the Court's explanation . . . Braham may discover that mere pleading Band-Aids will not fix the bullet holes in his case. At least for the moment, Defendants have shaken off this lawsuit.”

It's good news for Taylor Swift this week as she has finally settled one of her major lawsuits. 

In May, fashion retailer Lucky 13 claimed that Ms Swift copied its trademark look onto a collection of cotton t-shirts sold by the singer.

But now, Tay Tay has avoided any legal depositions which means the scheduled trial date in January 2016 has been cancelled.

Lucky 13 argued that Taylor's "permanent or temporary tattoos and her marketing herself as liking fast cars and dangerous men who drive them inappropriately, as demonstrated by her I Knew You Were Trouble music video", "undeniably and squarely fits within the exact consumer demographic to whom Lucky 13 markets and sells its Lucky 13 goods," reports The Fashion Law

Sounds a bit silly, right? 

In August, Taylor claimed that Lucky 13 was harassing her, which seems to have resulted in this week's agreement. 

But it's not the end of Ms Swifts legal battles as she was accused of infringement last week for her song Shake It Off, as well as a sexual harassment claim made by Taylor last month.

The internet is evidently a constant source of celebrity: bolstered by the likes of Instagram and Snapchat, we all now have a wealth of famous faces at our finger-tips.

But access to big names is a notoriously mixed bag.

Who would have thought, for example, that Rihanna and Beyonce are so happy to be photographed, while Blake Lively is somewhat more aloof?

That's not all that Big Apple-based paparazzo Miles Diggs, who runs 247Paps.TV with his business partner, Cesar Peña, revealed in conversation with the New York Post.

In fact, he laid bare the celebs that he and his ilk love to snap… and the ones they definitely don't…

 

The stars paps love:

1) Taylor Swift: “The smartest businesswoman in the business.” Her bodyguards arrange all the paps in a line outside her front door so everyone gets a clear shot when she enters and exits in immaculate outfits. “If you don’t get eye contact, your camera wasn’t working.”

2) Kim Kardashian: “She’s top of the food chain,” with even nonexclusive shots of Mrs West worth $300 to $1,000. Plus, she gets a majority cut of exclusive photos she sets up with photo agencies. “She’s trying to coach [half-sister] Kylie to give up photos more because the family needs somebody out there while she’s on maternity leave.”

3) Nicki Minaj: “When she’s feeling herself, she’s going to walk out and walk real slow, almost do a pose like a red carpet on the middle of the sidewalk.” Shots of Minaj wearing colored wigs and cartoon-style outfits are easier to sell.

4) Rihanna: A favorite. Friendly, always impeccably dressed and down to earth. She hangs out at restaurants and bars without security, and often into the wee hours. “She’s an eight-hour wait waiting to happen.”

5) Beyoncé: “She’s great if she wants to be shot and bad if she doesn’t.” Her bodyguard is known for having the longest arms around, perfect for blocking a shot Bey doesn’t want.

 

…And those they don’t:

1) Leonardo DiCaprio: “He hates being a celebrity.” He hides his face behind umbrellas or under beanies, berets, beards and sunglasses.

2) Scarlett Johansson: “She’s like a female Leo . . . She’s one of the best at spotting paparazzi. Her hand goes up, and she puts scarves in front of her.”

3) Alec Baldwin: The notoriously prickly actor has attacked and insulted paparazzi before, but Diggs and Peña say it always seems linked to an upcoming film, play or wedding. “Everything is timely with him. He’s a very calculating guy.”

4) Kristen Stewart: Used to bolt when cameras were near. “I’ve never seen a human being run as fast as Kristen Stewart.” But she wasn’t fast enough to escape the shot of her making out with married director Rupert Sanders, which ruined her relationship with Robert Pattinson (not to mention his marriage to Liberty Ross). She now has a publicist and is more willing to be photographed.

5) Blake Lively: “She pretends to be a sweetheart,” but Mrs Ryan Reynolds is notoriously hard to find, and if she knows a pap has snapped her, she’ll arrange her own photos and release them for free.

Famous folk have a funny way of ageing. Yes, while the rest of us mark our birthdays in a timely fashion and appear to accumulate an additional year on a strictly annual basis – celebrities are somewhat different.

Taylor Swift's 1989 tour has come to an end (at least its North American leg has), and the superstar certainly impressed her fans in Tampa, Florida last night.

And with it being Halloween and all, Taylor decided to dress up as one of the world's most loved characters; Olaf from Frozen.

Of course the crowd went WILD as Taylor emerged in the snowman get-up, but it was her next guest that delighted her fans.

Ms Swift welcomed Idina Menzel, the Broadway star whose Frozen hit Let It Go reached the Top 10 of the Hot 100 last year. 

The 1989 tour will officially wrap for good on December 12 in Melbourne, Australia but since this was the last American show, she made sure it was one to remember.

Taylor Swift is used to making the headlines for her awesome songs and #squadgoals, but if there's something you should really admire about her, it's that she refuses to be disrespected by anyone. 

According to the latest reports, Teen Vogue revealed that the singer is demanding a counter-trial against radio DJ David Mueller, who tried to sue the singer after he was fired for allegedly touching her inappropriately during a photoshoot.

For a little bit of background on Mr. Mueller, he had been fired from two on-air radio jobs before this incident and hasn't worked as a radio personality since 2006.

David also admitted that Taylor WAS assaulted that day but claims it was his superior, Eddie Haskell, who groped the singer.

"Ms. Swift knows exactly who committed the assault — it was Mueller — and she is not confused in the slightest about whether her long-term business acquaintance, Mr. Haskell, was the culprit," reads the countersuit.

"Resolution of this Counterclaim will demonstrate that Mueller alone was the perpetrator of the humiliating and wrongful conduct targeted against Ms. Swift, and will serve as an example to other women who may resist publicly reliving similar outrageous and humiliating acts."

It sounds like Taylor has already won this one and if she does, she will donate any money to "charitable organisations dedicated to protecting women from similar acts of sexual assault and personal disregard."

How amazing is she?!

Last night, Taylor Swift shared a hilarious yet adorable #tbt post on Instagram.

No, she wasn't dressed as a princess, or a regular old witch; she was dressed as a Teletubby.

But back then she was ahead of the crowd because she dressed as the character before the TV show became big, and everyone else thought she was just a yellow pregnant alien.

Of course, we all know the pregnant yellow alien is actually called Laa-Laa but we'll let that pass.

We have to say though, Taylor was one FIERCE kid.

Taylor Swift's relationship with Harry Styles might have been short-lived, but it's certainly lived on through her music.

Just days after One Direction dropped their new single Perfect – believed by many to be a direct dig at Taylor – the singer herself has revealed how deeply the three-month romance affected her.

The revelations comes in a new clip, recorded at the Grammy Museum a few weeks back and posted to YouTube yesterday.

Before kicking off an acoustic – and highly emotional – performance of Out Of The Woods, Taylor tells the audience about the "fragile" relationship that inspired the song.

"The number one feeling I felt in the whole relationship was anxiety," she says.

"Because it felt very fragile. It felt very…tentative… How long do we have before this turns into an awful mess and we break up? Is it a month? Is it three days?"

Taylor, who has been dating Scottish DJ Calvin Harris since March of this year, seems to have matured in her approach to relationships since things ended with Harry.

"I think a lot of relationships can be very solid, and that's what you hope for, solid and healthy, but that's not always what you get," she continues.

Despite its messy end, Taylor admits she still looks back on her romance with Harry as a "special" time.

"It doesn't mean that it's not special and extraordinary just to have a relationship that's fragile and somehow meaningful in that fragility," she explains.

If those lines haven't made you well up already, the performance itself certainly will – check it out below.

You might as well get used to reading articles like this one as Adele has already broken the first of many records with her new album, 25

The British singer beat Taylor Swift's VEVO record for the most views during the first 24 hours.

Her new music video, Hello, achieved a massive 27.7 million streams in the first 24 hours of going online. 

Unfortunately for Taylor, Adele smashed her record by seven million hits, with Ms Swift's Bad Blood only reaching 20.1 million views. 

Before that, Nicki Minaj held the record with Anaconda, which achieved 19.6 million hits on it's first day.

Adele is set to hit a new height in chart records this week after analysts predicted she could claim the biggest ever first-week digital sales for a song.

The heart wrenching single has already sold over 450,000 copies in America, edging closer to current record holder Flo Rida with his song Right Round (WHY that song is in first place, who knows?!) which sold 636,000 downloads in it's first week back in 2009.

Turns out Taylor Swift is something of a handsy drunk.

The singer is rarely spotted with a drink in her hand, let alone stumbling out of a nightclub at 3am, but like all of us, she does indulge in a few glasses of vino from time to time.

And at this years Grammys she may have had more than just the one, according to The Weeknd, who partied with her later than night.

 

In a new interview with Rolling Stone, the I Can't Feel My Face singer joked that Taylor must have been "a little gone," as she stroked his deadlocks for a solid 15 minutes at a Grammys after-party.

"But the whole time she was talking….She was kind of, like, petting my hair?" he told the magazine.

"I think she was just drawn to it — she must have been a little gone off a few drinks."

Having your hair stroked can be lovely of course, but maybe not so much if you're the only sober one in the room, as The Weeknd learned.

"I'm not going to be like, 'Hey, can you stop?'" he continued.

"I mean, it felt good! But when she started petting my hair, that's when I was like, 'I definitely need a drink.'"

Despite Taylor's hair-petting addiction, The Weeknd had obviously forgiven her enough to join her on stage a few months later.

The pair sang his hit song during a 1989 show in New Jersey back in July.

So there you have it – you CAN get a little hair-handsy when you're drunk, but only if you're a megastar.

Taylor Swift was joined by her Bad Blood music video co-star Ellie Goulding at the singer's 1989 concert in Texas this weekend.

Taylor invited Ellie on stage to sing the British pop singer's hit song Love Me Like You Do for nearly 60,000 fans at the AT&T Stadium. 

During the concert, Ms Swift described her as "one of my really, really, really dear friends."

Over the course of Taylor's 1989 world tour, she has welcomed numerous celebrity special guests to sing alongside her including Selena Gomez, Mick Jagger and Wiz Khalifa. 

The 25-year-old singer has a handful of North American dates left before she heads to China and Australia.
