Taylor Swift - Frequently Asked Questions

Q) How do I get Taylor Swift to follow me on Twitter?

A) While I hate to say it's impossible, Taylor appears to only be following celebrities at the moment. She's got thousands of people asking her to follow them every day, so unless you have a pretty amazing story you can get through to her, getting her to follow you may be pretty hard. Q) Did Taylor Swift get a boob job? A) This stupid rumour spread a couple of years ago when one of the tabloids ran a side by side image of an apparently "enhanced" Taylor. They backed up the claim by asking a few plastic surgeons what they thought and they said that they believed she did get implants. There is no truth to the rumour however and it has never been confirmed (or denied I guess) by Taylor's camp.

What does Taylor Swift have against Spotify?

You may have recently noticed that Taylor Swift's entire new album, 1989, is nowhere to be found on Spotify.

This wasn't just an error or ommission, but it was actually Taylor's team that requested her album be yanked from the service. The reason for this according to her record label is that she didn't want to embarrass any of her fans who legally purchased it. In the week her album was released, she sold 1.3 million copies, so there were lots of fans that she was trying to protect from being embarrassed.

She reasoned that no "superfan" who purchased her album should be embarrassed by being asked why they would purchase an album when they can just listen to it for free on Spotify.

Indirectly though, it may be a warning to streaming music services that their business model isn't being fair to artists. An artist like Swift can generate millions of listens to any of her songs, but the artists are generally compensated in the vicinity of between $0.006 and $0.0084 per song streamed according to a Rolling Stone article. Doesn't add to much.

Other artists have called out these services in the past and Taylor is just the next in what will become an even lengthier line in months to come.

Who is "Blank Space" About - Connor Kennedy?

By now you've no doubt seen Taylor's new video "Blank Space" and like most of Taylor's fans it left you wondering who is this video about?

In the video Taylor plays a bit of a crazy girlfriend as she yells, screams, freaks out, and even pulls an Elin Nordegren and attacks a car with a golf club. But was her turn as the crazy girlfriend just a work of fiction or pulling inspiration from her real life. The singer really hasn't dropped any hints that it was about someone from her personal life, but that hasn't stopped online speculation.

One website in particular went so far as to break down the "hints" in the video to suggest that Taylor's ex, Connor Kennedy, is the man being depicted.

It certainly may be a stretch, but it's always fun to speculate!
