EW Interviews Taylor

Entertainment Weekly did a great interview with Taylor in their most recent issue. It's a pretty in-depth article covering everything from if she views herself as a role model, whether or not she's going to wear heels to the awards shows (even though she's 5'11"), and if she would be worried if someone wrote a song about her (like she did with Tim McGraw).

She also shares who she'd like to appear with if CMT ever asked her to do Crossroads:

EW: I was reading that one of your faves is Def Leppard.
Taylor: I love Def Leppard so much. If I ever did [an episode of] Crossroads — like CMT does Crossroads with a rock band and a country singer — that would be my choice, probably. Don't ask. I just am a Def Leppard freak.

Faith and Tim Surprise Taylor

According to Great American Country, at the end of the Soul2Soul tour that Taylor was on with Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, a nice surprise was left in Taylor's dressing room. One box was filled with "unbelieveable" scented candles and the other contained a charm bracelet from Juicy Couture.

Faith and Time seem like genuinely great people!

Anyways, Taylor was overwhelmed at the gesture and said of the bracelet that she's "never taking it off for the rest of her life."

I'm spending way too much time on YouTube today, but here's Taylor's video for Teardrops on my Guitar.

The video may be a little bit old, but I figured I'd put up a video in case you want to watch!

Taylor's Number 1!!!

Taylor posted an update on her Myspace blog last week that I missed, but she thanked everyone for getting her album to number 1 on the country charts. Make sure you all drop by and leave a comment for her!

And don't forget to tell all your friends to buy her album too! Keep Taylor in the number 1 spot!

Tim McGraw (Lyrics) - Taylor Swift

Far and away the runaway smash of her new album, here are the lyrics to Taylor's song inspired by one of country music's best. Feel free to leave a comment below. I'd love to hear which song means the most to you on Taylor's CD.

Tim McGraw by Taylor Swift (Lyrics)

You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck,
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck,
On backroads at night
An' I was right there beside him all summer long
An' then the time we woke up to find that summer'd gone

But when you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me

September saw a month of tears,
An' thankin' God that you weren't here,
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed,
Is a letter that you never read,
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bitter sweet,
An' lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe:

When you think: Tim McGraw,
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long:
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me

And I'm back for the first time since then:
I'm standin' on your street,
An' there's a letter left on your doorstep,
An' the first thing that you'll read:

Is: "When you think: Tim McGraw,
"I hope you think my favorite song"
Some day you'll turn your radio on,
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness,
I hope you think: "That little black dress"
Think of my head on your chest,
An' my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw,
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me,
Mmmm

You said the way my blue eyes shined,
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said: "That's a lie"
