Taylor Swift

Grammys, VMAs, American Music Awards, Billboard Awards… and now an Emmy. 

Taylor Swift is going to need a separate room for all of her award statuettes at this rate, but she still finds time to get excited about each new win.

The singer was awarded a Creative Emmy on Saturday, but due to tour commitments had to celebrate in Texas rather than at the awards show itself. She didn't seem too bothered though, taking the opportunity to pose for countless selfies with her crew all day long.

"WHEN THEY OVERNIGHT YOU AN EMMY…. I DID NOT KNOW THIS WAS A THING" she wrote on Twitter, posting a series of snaps of herself and the 1989 team with the iconic gold statuette.

"We have no chill. The Emmy has rendered us chill-less," she wrote alongside another snap on Instagram.

Taylor won the Best Original Interactive Program gong for her work on AMEX Unstaged: Taylor Swift Experience, which allows fans to delve deeper into her music videos and find hidden details..

The program was first debuted in the Blank Space video, filmed using special 'immersive' 360-degree cameras.

Although the actual awards show took place on Saturday, news of Taylor's win emerged last Thursday, though she admitted she didn't believe it at first.

In a Twitter response to The Hollywood Reporter, who first broke the news, Taylor said she thought it was all a "prank" at first:

Humblebragging at its best right there. Wonder if an Oscar and a Tony will be next?

In the latest news involving pop super star Taylor Swift, a law suit has been filed against the Bad Blood singer by a former radio DJ.

David Mueller has filed the suit because he was fired after being accused of groping the singer.

A former radio DJ from KYGO in Denver, known as ‘Jackson’, filed the lawsuit on Thursday. He states that he was accused to lifting her “Skirt with his hands and [grabbing] her bottom. The incident is reported to have taken place in June, 2013.

According the Associated Press, this happened while they were backstage during Taylor’s concert at the Pepsi Center in Denver. He is denying that he has ever touched the singer inappropriately.

CNN has reported that David was participating in a work-related meet-and-greet with Taylor while she was making appearances in Denver. His co-worker and girlfriend Shannon Melcher was also at the event.

The couple appeared in a picture with the singer, which according to his lawsuit disputes any claims that he groped her. Apparently the photograph, which is not available to the public shows Shannon and Taylor hugging one another.

In the lawsuit it states:

“Ms. Swift is smiling and hugging Ms. Melcher. Although Mr. Mueller’s hand is behind Ms. Swift and therefore not visible, it is clear that her skirt is in place and is not being lifted by Mr Mueller’s hand.”

The former DJ is seeking damages to cover his lost income following his dismissal from his job at the radio station which amounts to €130,000 a year.

We’ve all heard of superfans – the ones who go above and beyond to show the chosen celebrity in their lives that they really care.

A certain Ms Taylor Swift certainly has her fair share of them – as demonstrated by a recent, lovingly hand-made gift she was given at a concert.

“Someone knitted this sweater for me of a Polaroid of myself and gave it to my mom tonight at the show,” Swifty said on Instagram earlier this week.

“It has very quickly become my everything. Thank you, mysterious knitter.”

And while the artist behind the gorgeous geansaí was a secret in the immediate aftermath, Tay-Tay has now discovered her true identity.

Hurrah!

Welcome Jadda, a 27-year-old fan from Colorado in the US who devoted close to a year (wowsers) to the creation.

A self-proclaimed “Taylor Swift enthusiast, first and foremost” (indeed) she started the project last year after the release of Shake It Off.

Writing on Tumblr, she said it required “1000’s of stitches,” and is actually the very first sweater she knitted in the “difficult” raglan style.

Jadda also describes spotting Ms Swift’s mother in the audience at the pop star’s September 6 Denver show – incidentally the second night in a row she caught the 1989 World Tour — and subsequently seizing her moment and passing on her gift.

After spotting Tay-Tay wearing the knitted number on Instagram (the snap went on to garner close to two million likes), the young woman said she went into a state of shock.

“Omg my hands are all clamy [sic]. What is this. I dont even know. I cant believe it either,” she wrote online.

“Like I debated if I would give her the sweater and tonight it just felt right. So happy Taylor loves it!! Ahhh,”

In fact, such was her excitement that Jadda said she didn’t sleep for 38 hours – something which may be ongoing now:  when Ms Swift found out who was behind the gift yesterday, she reached out directly on Tumblr to thank her “so so so much”.

A spokesperson for Taylor Swift has recently had to come out to squash claims that a “steamy” photo of the star and her boyfriend Calvin Harris was being shopped around online.

Speaking to the Daily Mail a rep for Taylor said “There is no ‘steamy’ photo.”

This came following a claim from RadarOnline that they were being offered the chance to buy and intimate photo of the pop star and her DJ beau. Apparently the photo was being offered by someone in Taylor’s ‘inner circle’.

The website claimed that while they hadn’t purchased the photo “it is steamy, and was certainly not meant for public eyes.”

In January of this year the singer faced a similar situation when hackers accessed her social media accounts and posted a series of bizarre messages. They also claimed to have access to nude photos of the star.

The 25-year old tweeted her response to the situation:

More recently Taylor has been the subject of much media scrutiny. After the VMAs a video emerged online with the title Taylor Swift Does Coke?

In the video she was seen holding something to her nose while surrounded by members of her entourage.

Her publicist quickly came out to strongly dismiss these claims however. They explained that she was just blowing her nose.

On site, Gawker, also made the claim that they had been threatened with legal action if they reported the pop star was doing cocaine.

Kanye West’s 2020 presidential campaign is off to a celebrity filled start!

During last week’s MTV VMA broadcast, Kanye was awarded the Video Vanguard Moonman. During his (lengthy) acceptance speech, the rapper announced “I have decided in 202 to run for president.”

Now, nobody is really certain whether Kanye fully intend to follow up on this statement or not, but that hasn’t stopped one singer from getting behind his campaign.

Taylor Swift has announced that she will be willing and able to become his running mate. Which is kind of awkward because you have to be a certain age to become the Vice President of the United States; and Taylor will coming in five years shy of the mark in 2020.

Taylor presented the award to Kanye at the ceremony, putting to rest any rumours of bad blood still remaining between the pair.

At the Grammys this year it was clear that the two were on friendly terms, but Taylor still couldn’t help but make a throwback to that 2009 incident on Sunday night.

On Friday she took to Twitter to post a thank-you message to the star after he sent her a fabulous looking floral arrangement.

Does it look familiar to you? That may be because it does bear a striking resemblance to the arrangements at Kanye and Kim’s wedding, which People magazine helpfully pointed out.

More important than the cute thank-you though, Tay-Tay also offered to join his Cabinet. Which makes us wonder, what would the rest of the squad do if Tay took the VP spot?

A backstage video which purports to show Taylor Swift taking cocaine at the recent VMAs ceremony has emerged on a social media site.

Entitled Taylor Swift Does Coke? in it, the singer-songwriter is shown holding an item to her nose while being surrounded by her entourage.

However, this evening her publicist has come out to strongly refute any suggestion that the 25-year-old had taken drugs – instead explaining that she was simply blowing her nose.

The clip was taken by MTV as part of its behind-the-scenes footage, but was never broadcast during last Sunday's glitzy awards bash.

It shows Ms Swift in low lighting walking down a corridor at the Los Angeles venue. She subsequently stops to ask her assistant to hand her something. 

A trio of aides, looking around uneasily, then close ranks around her by linking their arms, thus giving her a moment of privacy. 

Afterwards, one of them checks her nose with a torch to ensure it is clear. 

The clip was uploaded onto YouTube and viewed several thousand times before it was removed.

The video was originally sent to Gawker via SecureDrop, a platform for untraceable communications between journalists and sources.  

Gawker also claims that the Trouble singer's publicist threatened to sue them if they reported that Taylor was doing cocaine.

The Queen of Facebook has been announced, according to the Guinness Book of World Records at least.

In the 2016 edition Colombian singer Shakira holds the record for the most ‘liked’ person on the social media website.

She has gathered 107,142,986 ‘likes’ making her the most liked individual. In second place comes Christiano Ronaldo with 102,782,118 ‘likes’. Shakira however has more likes only than two other pages on the site.

One of them is Facebook itself, and the other is Facebook for Every Phone which has 547,111,981 ‘likes’.

This isn’t the first time the singer has broken the record. Since July 2014 she’s held the title and became the first person to attract over 100 million likes on an official Facebook page.

Posted by Shakira on Monday, April 20, 2015

Earlier this year Shakira had her records framed and shared a photo of them with her fans, on Facebook, naturally.

Other celebrities who have broken records this year include Taylor Swift and Jay-Z.

TSwift has the record for the “most million-selling weeks on U.S albums charts (three)” for the first-week sales of her albums Speak Now, Red and 1989.

Jay-Z also has “most debuts at No.1 on the U.S album chart by a rap artist” with a total of 13.

The American series of The Voice also holds the record for the “most-tweeted TV series in one minutes.” During the show’s live episode in May 2014 they set the record with 310,000 tweets during the semi-final.

Taylor Swift debuted the hotly-anticipated video for Wildest Dreams at Sunday night's VMAs, but within hours it began attracting attention for all the wrong reasons.

The video, set against the backdrop of the African wilderness, shows a 1950s-era Taylor Swift falling in love with her co-star (Scott Eastwood) on the set of their fictional movie. 

There's no denying that the video is beautifully shot and makes an amazing visual spectacle, but many critics have hit back at director Joseph Kahn for his inaccurate portrayal of colonial Africa. The fact that the video features an all-white cast aside from two black extras has certainly not gone down well with viewers.

"Even the most casual observer would have noticed that – for a clip that's set in Africa – it's about as white as a Sunday morning farmer's market. The video wants to have its old-school Hollywood romance but ends up eating some old-school Hollywood racism, too," wrote journalist Nico Lang.

Another critic, Viviane Rutabingwa from public radio station NPR, said Taylor's video presents a "glamorous version of the white colonial fantasy of Africa."

Africa's colonial era began in the late 1800s and didn't end until the 1980s, and its legacy still affects the country in many ways today. "Here are some facts for Swift and her team: Colonialism was neither romantic nor beautiful. It was exploitative and brutal," said Viviane.

Since Sunday, director Joseph Kahn has hit back on Twitter and in the media to say that the video's actual crew featured a number of people of colour… even if the video itself did not.

"The key creatives who worked on this video are people of colour. I am Asian American, the producer Jil Hardin is an African American woman, and the editor Chancler Haynes is an African American man," he said in a statement to Mail Online.

He defended the decision not to "load the crew with more black actors", saying he was reluctant to start "rewriting history."

As for Taylor, though she has not addressed the criticism on social media, it's worth noting that she chose to donate all of her proceeds from the video to the African Parks Foundation, an organisation which works to preserve the endangered animals of the continent.

They're officially the highest earning pairing in showbusiness – not to mention the hottest coupling of 2015: Taylor and Calvin; Calvin and Taylor.

We like to call them Taylvin – or perhaps, Caylor… we haven't quite decided yet. 

Anyway, we were therefore somewhat taken aback to see Ms Swift canoodling with another man – especially when that other man is a rather strapping 6ft-tall actor and a member of a Hollywood-elite family.

Luckily, the intimate clinch in question is all for the camera: Staring Scott Eastwood (drool), Taylor has just released her Wildest Dreams video… and we LOVE it in a Lana Del Rey-kinda way.

Although, we also reckon it will make for some seriously uncomfortable viewing for a certain loved-up Scottish DJ: in it, 29-year-old Scott and Swifty, 25, do lots and lots of kissing, AND get all sorts of feisty on a bed and in a field.

Mamma mia!

You can check out the video below – it's already notched up close-to 10million views in less than 48hours.

The way we look at it, if you're Taylor Swift and have your EVERY move monitored by cameras, at one stage or another you're bound to get caught out doing something unsavoury like breaking wind or picking your nose.

That's just the law of probability. So when we saw this video of the singer making a VERY strange noise indeed while introducing her Wildest Dreams video live on TV at Sunday night's VMAs, we had to laugh.

Gathered round the red carpet camera with a gang of BFFs including Karlie Kloss Hailee Steinfeld, Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez, Taylor stayed cool despite the weird noise.

But despite her chilled reaction, fans soon began speculating about what had gone down.

Of course we can't say for sure whether poor Taylor let one rip or not, but she definitely appears to squat just before the noise, and looks either excited or guilty just after…

One of the greatest mysteries of the decade, surely.

MTV have since made a statement to say that the weird noise was actually due to a microphone fault, and not any kind of gassiness on Taylor's behalf.

"MTV can confirm that the sound heard in the moment Taylor Swift introduced her new music video, Wildest Dreams, was isolated to a production microphone. There was absolutely no possibility of it being Taylor or anyone in her party’s microphones picking up ambient sounds," they said last night.

Either way, we bet that's the last time Taylor chows down on burgers before heading on stage…

We are seriously beginning to think that Taylor and her girl squad are planning on taking over the world and we are starting to get a little worried. 

Taylor has claimed pretty much every celebrity every as her BFF while performing all over the world as part of her 1989 World Tour and last night she was pictured with quite a few of them. 

She showed up on the red carpet for the VMAs with some of her pals in tow, including Cara Deleveinge, Gigi Hadid, Karlie Kloss and the rest of the cast for her music video Bad Blood. 

Taylor, who was nominated for nine awards, scooped four of the coveted trophies last night including two awards for Blank Space and two for Bad Blood. 

The singer went on stage to accept the Video of The Year award for Bad Blood while joined by her girl squad and her collaborator Kendrick Lamar.

Aside from just winning awards, Taylor presented them too, giving Kanye West the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award to honour his career to date. 

Back in 2009 when Taylor won an award over Beyoncé, Kanye stormed to the stage to tell her that Queen Bey should have won. This year, Kanye pretended to run on stage during her acceptance speech before sitting back down again and pretending to take a nap. 

Kanye then went on to give an 11 minute speech during which he announced that he is going to run for president in the year 2020.

Every year, something dramatic goes down at the MTV VMAs (we're thinking Kanye storming the stage to ambush Taylor Swift in 2012, or Britney's car-crash Piece Of Me staging in 2007), but last night just seemed particularly insane.

We were all expecting the MANY crazy outfits by host Miley Cyrus, but no one was expecting the major shade thrown between her and Nicki Minaj. 

Miley made it clear earlier this week that she had zero interest in patching things up with Nicki following their recent Twitter feud. 

But Nicki was not about to let her have the last word. While accepting the award for Best Hip Hop Video, the Anaconda singer turned her attention back to the host saying: "Back to this bitch, who had a lot to say about me in the press the other day." 

Rebel Wilson, who was on stage with Nicki at the time, had an expression so shocked that it pretty much summed up how the entire world was feeling watching at that very moment. 

No – there was just no getting away from the serious awkwardness of the entire scenario. 

Miley was always going to create controversy of sorts at the awards ceremony, but we're not sure this is what she had in mind. Still, and in fairness to the Wrecking Ball singer, she actually managed to acknowledge the shade without throwing it back at her. 

“Hey, we’re all in this industry, we all do interviews and we all know how they manipulate shit," she said politely. 

“Nicki, congratulations.”

To make things even worse for the 22-year-old, Nicki and Taylor Swift seemed like they were serious besties last night, even though Taylor was recently involved in her own well-documented Twitter feud with the rapper. 

The pair performed together at the awards and Nicki even tweeted afterwards to say: "Taylor, thank you for being epic." 

Indeed, it seems like the Trinidad and Tobago native is trying to create her very own girl squad (sans former Hannah Montana star Miley, natch): she posted a picture last night of her look from the red carpet alongside Tay-Tay, Demi Lovato and Britney Spears. 

 

Kisses to my girls

Miley arguably got the last laugh though, as she made the HUGE announcement of a forthcoming album which she has kept completely under wraps. 

She surprised fans saying she would be releasing her new album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz online… for FREE! 

The ceremony then closed with Miley singing and dancing with the cast of RuPaul's Drag Race.
