Taylor's "For Your Consideration" Video for ACMs

Taylor is trying to drum up some last minute support in her bid for both the "Entertainer of the Year" and the "Female Vocalist of the Year" at the 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards by putting together a "For Your Consideration" video.  In typical Taylor style the video contains more funny business than self promotion but still gets the message across.



She's going to face some tough competition in both categories.  In the Entertainer of the Year category she's up against Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton and George Strait.  In the Female Vocalist of the Year she's facing Sheryl Crow, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, and Carrie Underwood.

The 2014 Academy of Country Music Awards are being hosted by Blake Shelon and Luke Bryant and will air on CBS at 8pm EST on Sunday, April 6th.

Taylor and the Kennedys

Day to day life for celebrities typically include having to deny weird and wild rumors about who they're dating, what plastic surgery they supposedly had and other crazy rumors.  Celeb life also tends to include the occasional stalker if you happen to be a good looking celebrity.

But for Taylor Swift these days, she’s fighting off both crazy rumors and stalking claims - but with an even weirder twist.  There are rumors swirling on the internet that she is the one who is doing the “stalking” and it’s the famous American family the Kennedys that she’s obsessed with.

But where are all these rumors coming from.

Lets start with who’s she’s been dating.  Earlier in 2012, she was rumored to be dating Patrick Schwarzenegger whose mother, Maria Shriver, is the niece of former President John F. Kennedy.  More recently, Taylor’s been dating Connor Kennedy, Patrick’s second cousin and the son of Robert Kennedy Jr.

But dating a couple of people with the same bloodlines isn’t enough to call someone a stalker.  What else could be causing these idiotic claims?

How about the more recent rumor that a couple of weeks ago, Taylor decided to crash the wedding of Connor’s cousin, Kyle Kennedy, and was promptly thrown out of the reception.  Although this sounds like a story that could keep the celebrity gossip machine churning for weeks on end, there’s still no definite word on what happened.  Taylor’s camp is saying everything went fine at the reception, but Gifford Kennedy claims she asked Connor and Taylor to leave twice as their presence was causing a commotion.

Finally, there’s the rumor that Taylor bought a house across the street from Ethel Kennedy, who is the widow of Robert F. Kennedy.  This is another rumor that the Swift camp have denied, but where these stories are originating are anyone’s guess.

Although there may be absolutely no truth to some of these wilder rumors, they certainly seem to be taking the luster off Taylor’s squeaky clean image.  The idea that she would be obsessed with a family to the point where she seems to be doing these things seems unimaginable but I guess you never know what the pressures of stardom could cause an otherwise sensible young woman to do.

I don’t believe these wilder accusations for a second, but they can be fun to discuss.  What are your thoughts on this non-sense with Taylor and the Kennedys?  Let us know in the comments!
