CNCF President Pat Tallungan received a call from an awards show representative this week that Swift had selected the charity. “We are so excited about this opportunity to raise awareness about neuroblastoma on a national stage through such a talented and delightful young lady as Taylor Swift,” Tallungan said. “We don’t know how she even heard about us. But we are energized and dedicated to doing all that we can to help her win all three awards. I just want you to know, Taylor, that we are eternally grateful and wish you all the best.
Her husband/ producer Mutt Lange cheated on her with her best friend, she "lost her voice" and had to find inspiration again. Plus she probably wanted to take some time to raise her son.
that's awful.
It's weird though for a Country singer that incident would've made like 4 albums , and about her son , probably .
I think Billboard should say
Sold 1mil+ album in its debut week without discount, have more platinum song than others, winning EOTY for 2 consecutive years, and never use dirt words in her song
ONLY THE BEST SINGLES 
i dont want this one to flop... 
that's awful. 
i dont really think i should do a collab with her... the queen is wayyyy above me..!!
