Taylor Still #1 on Billboard

Congrats go out to Taylor as her debut self-titled album has spent its second consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard Country Music Albums chart. The album, "Taylor Swift" sold 35,525 copies this week. The album is continuing to soar despite it having been released over FORTY WEEKS AGO!!!

The album continues chug along due to strong single releases, including Teardrops on My Guitar, which is currently No. 3 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, as well as a couple of fantastic tours including the Amplifiers and Bonfires tour she's on now with Brad Paisley.

Taylor Pranks Paisley!

Continuing the tradition of pranks on the Brad Paisley tour, Taylor decided to have a bit over the weekend on their stop in Taylor's old hometown of Hershey, PA. Taylor's prank comes on the heels of American Idol alum, Kelly Pickler and Paisley's tourmate, Jack Ingram pranking Paisley, the ultimate prankster, by coming on stage dressed as ticks back in June. This is how it all went down according to the Dial-Globe:

Brad was midway through his encore, singing his fishing anthem, "I'm Gonna Miss Her," when to the delight of her hometown crowd, Taylor strolled onstage dressed in waders, a fishing hat adorned with lures, and carrying a fishing pole and a net full of stuffed animal trout. She also had a bait box full of rubber worms that she used to tease Brad before tossing them into the screaming crowd. She then picked up her fishing pole and proceeded to reel in what appeared to be at least a 40-pounder (of the stuffed variety).

I love reading about Taylor's funny side. It's good to know that even with her meteoric rise to fame that she's still down to earth.
