Taylor Swift

by

In the last week alone, Taylor Swift has taken on music giant Apple (and won), performed five arena shows, hung out with Emma Watson and Serena Williams… and of course made a visit to our little island.

The singer hit the stage at Dublin's 3Arena last night for the first of two sell-out shows, and if she was tired after a VERY busy week, she certainly didn't let it show. Gone were the slow, softly-sung country songs that made Taylor a hit back in the day, and in their place were high-octane hits like Bad Blood, Shake It Off and Out Of The Woods, all performed with maximum energy to 16,000 screaming fans.

SHEmazing! were there to see Tay-Tay giving it socks, and if you're heading along tonight, here's a taster of our favourite bits…

1. When we realised what those weird rubber wristbands were actually for
Before heading into the arena, every audience member was given a light up band:

And a few songs in, they began syncing up to the songs for a seriously impressive light-show.

Beautiful!

 

2. When Tay subtly serenaded her man Calvin during her performance of I Know Places
Spot him at the end of the video… by the sound desk, looking smitten!

 

3. When people in the balcony seats finally got a close-up view
If you're in the seated area tonight, don't fret, as Taylor made sure to get near to those fans too.

Very, very near.

 

4. When she ditched the dancing for Wildest Dreams and played the piano live instead
Talk about multi-talented…

 

5. When her cats Meredith and Olivia made a special appearance
They weren't the only ones who made the big screen by the way… a few of Tay's other besties were up there too, but we won't ruin it for you!

 

6. When the light-up umbrellas and fake rain came and everyone freaked out with the sheer amazingness of it all

 

7. When she KILLED IT during the finale
We won't say much, but there were some incredible graphics:

And this amazing raised catwalk:

As for the rest, you'll have to wait and see…

Two of celebville's hottest new couples went on a seriously cool double-date in London yesterday – taking to the River Thames waves for a private boat ride.

Taylor Swift, who this evening takes her tour to Dublin, was there with her boyf Calvin Harris in tow, while Gigi Hadid brought love-interest Joe Jonas.

Then, just to make the whole situation even cooler, former Victoria's Secret angel Karlie Kloss tagged along for good measure. Can you even be a third wheel is you're one of the world's highest paid models? Seemingly so.

Tay-Tay, 25, and 31-year-old Calvin were recently named as showbiz's most powerful couple – and they certainly look incredibly loved-up as the boat made its way through the English capital.

Less tactile, but every bit as cute, were 22-year-old Gigi and Joe, 25 – and good to see that, once again, there's no awkwardness whatsoever between exes Miss Swift and Mr Jonas.

Karlie Kloss can be seen in the centre of the same image – which was posted this morning to Taylor's Instagram account – smiling warmly. Her long-term boyfriend, 30-year-old entrepeneur Joshua Kushner, was sadly absent.

​"Little known fact: Karlie is secretly an unofficial historian/London tour guide. Kind of,” Swift captioned the photo.

It has already notched up in excess of a million likes.

As if we weren’t excited enough already for Taylor coming to Dublin, it is now being speculated that Hozier may be making an appearance on stage as well. 

Tay-Tay is playing the first of two sold-out shows in the 3Arena in Dublin tonight and rumour has it that the Take Me to Church Bray-native may be joining her.

We have all seen the likes of Cara Delevingne, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid join the 25-year-old on stage throughout her 1989 tour, so it would seem fitting that Ireland’s biggest star would make an appearance.

Speaking to The Mirror, an insider explained that “Taylor and Hozier have become good friends since meeting in the US last year so it would be a fitting tribute if he joined her on stage in his home country.”

The source further revealed that Hozier has a break in his schedule as he finished up Glastonbury festival yesterday and isn’t playing again until Tuesday when he has a gig in London.

However, the Someone New singer was speaking to Dermot and Dave on Today FM and warned that fans shouldn't be getting too excited because he is in fact not in the country. 

So – is this an elaborate ruse to keep fans in the dark or have the rumours simply gone too far once again? 

Either way, we have no doubt that Taylor's concert is going to be as spectacular as always. And as for any mystery guests, we will just have to wait and see!

If there's one celebrity who knows how to surround herself with strong women, it's Taylor Swift.

With a band of friends that already includes Lena Dunham, Lorde, Selena Gomez, Karlie Kloss, Kendall Jenner and more, over the weekend Tay added another fierce member to her squad.

After a sellout concert to 65,000 in London's Hyde Park, the singer was pictured looking cosy with none other than actress and gender equality activist Emma Watson. UK musician Lauren Aquilina shared a group photo via Twitter showing herself, Karlie Kloss, Martha Hunt and of course Taylor, with her arm around a VERY happy Emma:

"Spent tonight surrounded by badass girls and couldn't be happier about it," Lauren captured the photo. Within minutes Twitter exploded with fans trying to get their head around what has to be the ultimate cool-girl pairing:

While Emma seemed content to enjoy Taylor's show from the stands, the Blank Space singer couldn't resist getting some of her other pals to join her during the concert.

Models Cara Delevingne, Gigi Hadid and tennis star Serena Williams took to the stage along with Kendall, Martha and Karlie during Taylor's performance of Style:

What a team!

Before flying across to Dublin this morning (!!), Taylor enjoyed a spot of sightseeing yesterday with yet another gang of celebrity friends. "Little known fact: Karlie is secretly an unofficial historian/London tour guide. Kind of," wrote the singer, sharing a photo of herself, her new mam Calvin Harris, Joe Jonas and Karlie posing in front of London's Tower Bridge.

Wonder if she's looking for an unofficial tour guide in Dublin, too…

Taylor Swift is just a really good person.

She doesn’t just treat fans to impressive social media shout-outs, or donate serious cash to charities, she also likes to give away free tickets to her concert.

Someone going to her Dublin gig tonight just got the best present ever.

Stephanie is from South Africa. She was supposed to be at Hyde Park yesterday to see Taylor and her ultimate girl squad perform. However, disaster struck and her flight was delayed from Amsterdam.

She tweeted about her disappointment, naturally.

Not all hope was lost though, as Taylor, who has admitted to trolling her fans social media activities, saw the tweet. She responded as any good performer would.

So then, all Stephanie had to do was get herself to Dublin. Which is easier said than done. But, have no fear, because as we know anything that involves T Swifty immediately turns to gold.

Stephanie managed to convince British Airways to change her flight, with the help of some fake tears, and now she’s Dublin bound.

Taylor’s history of thanking her fans with big gestures does include actual Irish fans too though.

Suzie Dickinson from Meath was given the chance to meet the popstar in person when Taylor saw her attempts to make it to as many of her European tour dates as possible.

Talking to the Mirror Suzie said “Basically I put a picture of a map on Tumblr which showed my route for going to Taylor’s concerts. Taylor follows me on Tumblr so I was hoping that she’d see it.”

Taylor did in fact see it, and was invited to a very special meet and greet at her concert in Glasgow. Suzie said Taylor was dying to get a photo with her and the two chatted about the most important of things;

“We just talked about cats and Dublin and she wanted to get a photo with me.”

This is why Taylor is one of our favourite celebrities.

Oh the Kardashian-Jenner-West-Disick clan, we can barely keep up with them all. If someone’s not getting married, they’re headlining Glastonbury. If they’re not having a baby, then they’re getting into some risky business outside a night club.

And when they’re not taking selfies… Well, we don’t know actually know what happens then.

 

One thing we do know, when they post a selfie online, people go crazy.

Case in point, Kendall Jenner just smashed her big sister Kim’s record for ‘most liked’ photo on her Instagram page.

 

A photo posted by Kendall Jenner (@kendalljenner) on

The 19-year old posted the photo a month ago and it has since gathered 2.5 million likes. Compared to Kim and Kanye’s wedding photograph which only had a measly 2.4 million.

 

Nothing like a little sibling rivalry, eh?

It’s not just Instagram that Kendall is gathered more and more fame. Most recently the reality TV star turned supermodel was hanging out with legend Naomi Campbell.

Both models walked the runway for Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci at his Paris show. Kendall hit the runway in a pale ink lingerie-inspired gown with a skirt consisting of tassels, and not a whole lot else.

Naomi turned heads so hard the people in the FRO got whiplash when she slipped into a tiny G-string bikini and blazer.

Proud mama Kris Jenner and beau Corey Gamble were spotted at the show, along with Courtney Love.

It’s not all work and no play for Kenny J though. She managed to get herself to not one but two of the biggest music events happening last night.

 

A photo posted by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) on

She made an onstage appearance with a host of other famous model friends at pal Taylor Swift’s gig before she and Cara popped over to Glastonbury to see Kanye West headline.

Record shattering, modelling and rock concert performing, all in a weekend’s work for the young model.

We’re exhausted just thinking about it.

They may have only confirmed their relationship status with subtle shout outs and PDA filled snaps on social media but Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris are officially the music industry’s most powerful couple.

Queen B and her husband Jay-Z have officially been dethroned.

According to Forbes the talented duo are number one in the ranking of highest paid celebrity couples ranking. The world’s highest paid DJ and his Bad Blood singing bae brought in an impressive €130 million last year.

Mr and Mrs Carter meanwhile racked up just under €100 million. No slacking off in that household. 

While Beyoncé and Jay’s On The Run collaboration tour was hugely successful, and also incredibly stylish, Taylor’s endorsement deals and multiple contracts for Harris mean they managed to kick the Carters off the top spot.

No hard feelings, we’re sure.

Taylor has deals with Sony and Keds while DJ Calvin maintains contracts with Giorgio Armani and Sol Republic.

The magazine teased the news as part of their Celebrity 100 issue, and in the ranking of celebrity earners only three couples made the list. Aside from Taylor, Calvin and the Carters, country music stars Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton made the list.

Not that these stars aren’t sharing the love. Taylor has been in the news recently for her generous donations to a family from Texas who were severely injured in a car accident. There’s also her latest trend of giving credit to her fans when reposting their photos from her concerts.

Both Tay and her new BF have careers that seem to be getting bigger and bigger, so as long as they stay together, they could end up being a serious celebrity power couple.

Taylor Swift is changing the face of the music industry, but it seems she might have her eye on a different prize.

This time last year the 25-year-old said she might never have kids but something has clearly changed her mind (cough, cough Calvin, maybe?)

Her career is on the constant rise but when recently speaking to ITV News this week, she was asked where she sees herself in ten years. And her answer? With a family of her own.

Taylor begins her UK tour this Saturday and when speaking to the English broadcaster she explained that she hopes to have a family in her early 30s.

Still, she says she does worry about protecting them from everything that comes along with living life in the public eye.

Indeed, the superstar singer said she has great respect for Angelina Jolie and that she really admires how she raised her six children in the spotlight.

Her admiration for Angelina stretches as “her life is not just for the purpose of making money or coming up with the most lucrative business deals," but for what she constantly gives back.

Last year when speaking to InStyle, Taylor explained that she didn’t have much interest in having her own children.

At the time, she told the magazine: "I don't know if I'll have kids, it’s impossible not to picture certain scenarios and how you would try to convince them that they have a normal life when, inevitably, there will be strange men pointing giant cameras at them from the time they are babies."

Let's hope that Calvin is on the same page too…

Taylor Swift certainly does love her signature hair flips and dramatic gestures.  

But is there someone else that can do them, dare we say it, even better?

Fellow singer and one of Tay-Tay’s BFFs, Selena Gomez, does a SPOT ON Taylor impression, and we just love it!

The 25-year-old Shake it Off singer is known for her over-the-top gestures and dramatic dancing while on stage. It’s one of the many reasons the fans love her so much.

And with Selena saying herself that she goes to all of Taylor’s concerts, it's no wonder that she can do a seriously good impression of her best friend.

The 22-year-old Good for You singer did her take on Ms Swift when she was recording a video for iHeartRadio. But it was all in good fun as Selena gave her best friend a shout out at the end saying, “Love you, Tay!” 

 

We think it's safe to say that Selena really is her number one fan!

They were clearly eager to keep their relationship under wraps in the early days, but increasingly Taylor Swift, 25, and Calvin Harris, 31, have been happy to acknowledge and celebrate their union publicly.

Tay-Tay has already posted images of the duo to her Instagram account… and now Calvin is also sharing the love.

Taking to Twitter, he praised his girlfriend's decision to take on music giants Apple – and also made reference to his recent gig in Las Vegas.

Yesterday, Ms Swift wrote an open letter to the company highlighting that she found it find "shocking," and "disappointing," that it doesn't pay "writers, producers, or artists" during the three-month trial period it is currently offering new customers.

She concluded her letter with: "We don't ask you for free iPhones. Please don't ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation." 

And Apple responded quickly. Indeed, today it announced via executive Eddy Cue that it "will pay artist for streaming, even during customer’s free trial period".

Congratulations, Ms Swift! 

In another sign that their love is the real deal, Calvin has also been looking after his girlfriend's cat while she tours in Europe.

He took to Instagram over the weekend to share a video clip of Dr Meredith Grey (she is also the owner of Detective Olivia Benson) drinking water from a tap.

Just one day after Taylor Swift wrote an open letter to Apple voicing her unhappiness with their new streaming service’s free three-month trial, the company have reversed their payment policy.

You go girl!

The Bad Blood singer’s letter explained how she did not have an issue with Apple customer’s being able to take advantage of the free trial, but she was angered that the company would not be paying artists or producers for their music during this time.

The 25-year-old popstar said that she found “it to be shocking, disappointing, and completely unlike the historically progressive and generous company,” that they were not intending to pay royalties to the artists during the free three-month period.

“Three months is a long time to go unpaid, and it is unfair to ask anyone to work for nothing… We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.” Hear, hear Swifty!

Apple exec Eddy Cue, tweeted this morning saying “We hear you @taylorswift13 and indie artists. Love, Apple”.

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has spoken out and condemned Apple’s new music streaming service.

The Shake it Off singer is widely recognised as not supporting streaming services, given that she pulled her music from Spotify in 2014.

The 25-year-old star has taken to Tumblr to voice her anger at Apple, who are now providing a three-month free subscription service to their customers.

Ms Swift’s dissatisfaction with the company comes, not because they are offering a free subscription, but because they do not intend to pay royalties to the artists during that three-month period.

Taylor explained her concerns saying, “This is not about me. Thankfully I am on my fifth album and can support myself, my band, crew, and entire management team by playing live shows.”

“This is about the new artist or band that has just released their first single and will not be paid for its success,” she continued. “This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt.”

Tay-Tay acknowledges that Apple is a company that she generally admires and enjoys working with but, states that she just cannot get behind their decision, and believes it is not “too late” for the tech-giants to reconsider.

“We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.”

Well said, Taylor!
