Thanks for the links I'll watch them tomorrow.

Love Taylor <3 I'm seeing her in concert at the end of the month, I'm so excited. Her new album is incredible, choosing a fave song is really difficult!! I'd probably go with Sparks fly, Back to December or better than revenge but they're all great

Its really hard to pick a favourite, there is not a weak song on the album.
I love the vibe on mean, its the song closest to a country sound but is very infectious and the lyrics to that song sum it all up really.

Mean's great, I think better than revenge should be be released before it though. I love Dear John too, I just love every song I didn't think it could get better than Fearless! I wish there was more Taylor love in the UK

Yeah I thought Fearless was going to be hard to top but she has done it with Speak Now, its an album that will still be selling many years in the future.
I have managed to get a fair few people into taylor by just letting them hear her albums, problem is until she gets proper airplay she will never be that big in the UK. But she has sold well over 100K in the UK which is not that bad considering she gets no airplay or dont do no promotions.
Looking forward to seeing her this month, going by what I have seen on youtube its gonna be great. Better then revenge is brilliant live and Paul and Grants guitar jam at the end of the song live is awsume.

There were highlights of a gig Taylor did for Radio 2 on the BBC red button over the weekend, I don't know if they're still on there though. It was really good.

From Twitter, another Award Taylor fans may not know about.

Quote:
“March 29, 2011
Today the Academy of Country Music is announcing the winners of awards that will not be televised during the live telecast of the 46th ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS. The ceremony, which honors country music’s top talent as well as the industry’s hottest emerging artists, is produced for television by dick clark productions and will be broadcast LIVE from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 3rd, 2011 at 8:00 PM live ET/delayed PT on the CBS Television Network.

Taylor Swift has been chosen to receive the Jim Reeves International Award, which is presented to an individual for outstanding contributions to the acceptance of country music throughout the world.

Taylor Swift has encouraged fans around the world to discover country music. In addition to multiple gold and platinum awards from dozens of countries, Swift has already performed numerous dates in Europe and Asia this year. She is the top-certified artist for digital singles in the last decade.

Past recipients of the Jim Reeves International Award include Garth Brooks, Dick Clark, Roy Clark, Merv Griffin, Charlie Nagatani, Buck Owens, Dolly Parton and Keith Urban, among others. ”

Was at the o2 last night and Taylor was incredible I didn't realise just how good she was live, her voice is a lot better than I thought it was. The overall performance was great and she performed Speak now, sparks fly, back to december, dear john, better than revenge, you belong with me, fearless, long live and love story. She's stunning too, and comes across as such a nice person

Yeah she was great last night, and of course she performed a lot more other songs then you listed as well

I love long live, the pure emotion in that song is great, its a true anthem just made to do live, and introducing her band always brings some laughs.
And Grant and Pauls guitar jam at the end of better than revenge is awsome.

Yep she did. I loved the fearless/i'm yours/hey soul sister thing she did. Long Live is a great song, I wonder if she'll release that next. I kinda thought that or Sparks fly would be her lead single although I really like Mine (which she also performed)

Agreed! Better Than Revenge is amazing

Yeah better then revenge is great live, what a rocker, love the trade off between taylor/Caitlin and Liz in the verses and of course the guitar rock jam by Paul and Grant at the end brings the house down.

Story of us is a good jumping up and down song, just a great live track.

So jealous of all those people that are going to see her on her US tour where she does the stadiums, 70,000 people rocking, that gonna be so cool, hope she brings out a DVD/Blu ray of one of these stadium shows.

We was not far away from the t-section of the stage but a bit out of camera shot.

And lets not forget you belong to me and singing in the crowd

Couple of songs from radio 1 live lounge

A really good acoustic version of story of us and taylor and her band doing a rare cover of a song, a brilliant performance of the Mumford & Sons - White Blank Page
