But if you look at Taylor’s core fan base, many of these are very attached to Taylor as a person and they follow her around a core set of values, and around understanding and empathizing with her feelings. How many times have I read a Taylor Swift fan blog and read the words “She saved my life.” No one is saying that about boy bands or pop acts. It’s a level of fandom that goes beyond music, and this level of commitment is really extensive and extraordinary among Taylor’s fans. It’s impressive to see the scope of it."

I wonder if ATW will be played on the next tour


HG, probably not


I need an acoustic version of IKYWT

[BlueMoon77]

I didn't know that was when the ratings spiked either. Definitely hoping she doesn't close the show for that matter

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Speak Now is her best album, no need to discuss this again.

[Taylor Swift]

"They say I date too much & can't make em stay!"

Still referencing "Stay Stay Stay" - her favourite song on 'Red'.

She needs to perform after second commercial break.

Also one of the best songs on Red and the one that still charts somewhere inside top1000, from time to time.

Lettuce hope it performs like 'Roar' on the charts, but doesn't sound like 'Brave'.

That Seth Meyers interview was such a bore.

But I don't want to witness another WANEGBT-Grammy-sized mess. She opened the show and was the only one who didnt increase on iTunes, not to mention she actually decreased.

OMG really?
I watched it and I got secondhand embarrassment
That's why I can't like that song, ever, because it has some of her worst performances ever.

It's in the middle of the night for me, I won't be able to watch it in the morning and I'll be at work for 10 hours...

[Ashrock]

It's better and a lot funnier than the Fallon interview.

I think Jake has asked a mod before, I'm not sure though.

She should've performed IKYWT and maybe even gone #1. Instead, they told her to perform WANEGBT. Not only the performance had 0 EFFECT on iTunes (it was below #50 I guess) but the number of increasing songs made it even decrease a bit. It was actually the only song that didn't benefit from Grammys and no one talked about her performance. I guess no one even knew she performed since people do many other things when the show begins.

Katy performed Dark Horse even though Roar had two noms. She should've done it with IKYWT. I'll never forgive them for snubbing Trouble like that.

I don't see the links though.

But the true tea has been spilt.
