TAYLOR SWIFT X SMAP X SMAP
836


Taylor Swift made her final promotional appearance today by appearing on the program SMAP x SMAP. The show is originally intended for artists to visit to promote their new material by performing the songs they are promoting with the members of SMAP. The show would air with Taylor Swift as the guest, being aired live with Taylor at the studio. She would talk with the members of SMAP for a few moments before she’d take the stage for a solo performance of her song ‘I Wish You Would’, a song that’s originally intended from her album ‘1989’ but has managed to make an appearance on her brand new greatest hits record ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’ record. She’d also perform the song ‘Nylon’ alone, performing in a metallic crop top, tight and extremely short skirt that matched. Neon strobe lights would flash overhead, giving a very visual and almost cinematic type of look to it. ‘Style’ would be the final performance on the program in which she too would perform alone. But she’d sing with the members of SMAP on ‘Too Good To Lose’ and a special performance of another song off Taylor’s ‘1989’ album called ‘New Romantics’.

SMAP = one member speaking, but not specified due to a lack of time to write their names and ****

SMAP: Welcome to the show, Taylor. Again, of course. It’s nice to have you here.

Taylor: It’s absolutely wonderful to be here. I missed you guys. I believe the last time I saw you was like back in 2012 or something when we performed We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. I think, that performance was pretty bad compared to what I think we’ll bring tonight though.

SMAP: We aren’t performing that tonight?

Taylor: Thankfully, no. I have sort’ve stopped performing it I believe sans the tour. You know you kind of have to retire songs and I think that song should be one of those special cases where you sort’ve keep it as one of those rare performances or special ones. Speaking of that, I heard you guys really liked Electric Princess. What was your favorite song from it?

SMAP: I personally really liked ‘Sex Kitten’. It was a fun, playful, and erotic like song but it really was fun and I think very J-Pop if you get what I mean.

Taylor: I’m so glad you guys like that one. When Giorgio and I recorded the song I’d just sort’ve gotten in Japan. So I had the really almost unbelievable and almost unrealistic opportunity to be able to record the song in full here with Giorgio Moroder who coincidentally was in Tokyo the same day as me. While here we’d been really talking about the J-Pop sound and stuff. So we sort’ve drew inspiration from the sound in pop music here and incorporated that into the song. So it was intended to be that way. It was also intended to be a single off the record too but that never happened as you can see.

SMAP: Style is amazing too, that’s probably my all time favorite from you.

Taylor: Aww, thank you so much. Your last album was really good. I didn’t understand a word but you know it sounded good. The melodies were strong and it really had this sort’ve classic and timeless feel to it.

SMAP: We’re glad you were really fond of it. Many American artists don’t really talk about J-Pop artists much or even have listened to it.

Taylor: Ive always been a pretty avid fan of K-Pop and J-Pop. I’ve been looking for some artists here to sign to really try to bring Korean Pop and Japanese Pop to the global scale, by that I mean to the United States and really give it commercial success there so hopefully that’l happen soon.

SMAP: If you had to choose between K-Pop or J-Pop what would it be?

Taylor: It’s not really fair to make me choose that’s so unfair. I honestly can say I can’t choose. They are both so great and really you guys hold the artists in each category in such a high sort’ve perception and regard. So with that you’re pretty much guaranteed to get an amazing performance, single, or album from Korean or Japanese pop artists. I think that’s amazing and I think gradually the same is being done in United States. Nowhere as fast or as much as it should be but we’re making progress, give us credit.

SMAP: You’re dating Simon, aren’t you? We love him in Japan,

Taylor: Oh trust me I know. We walked through the airport today and he was like getting asked for autographs and pictures too. Usually he’s a grouch and will let me face the crowd but today he seemed just as into it as I was. But really the best moment were the selfies that we were asked to take with them. I wish more people asked for them. He’s a grouch but he’s a sweetheart and really loves meeting new people.

Justin releases promotional single, 'Fever'.
Justin's new promotional single, 'Fever' was announced. Not sent to radios -- but will be promoted the most often of his album tracks, and given promotion in areas along with 'Too Good to Lose'. The new promotional single is Justin's first promotional single, as he usually decides to promote full singles only + tour to help the album. However, with the news of the album nearing double platinum his label, Hyped Records, couldn't resist a small little release to help push that. A lyric video accompanied the song on VEVO + on top of that, the singer uploaded the song to his SoundCloud account, tweeting 'Check out Fever on my Soundcloud!', containing the link. The song rose to the Top 40 of iTunes, and has declined a little -- but is taking off for a promotional single, which is to receive multiple performances this weekend. Some Mainstream Top 40 stations have picked the song up, and VIBE reviewed the song calling it "Irresistible, yet delicious and a crave we all need in this market. This should be the third single in our opinions, to close out the album -- this is an easy #1 hit in Justin Bieber's hands, it's pop perfection". MTV also praised the track calling it, "smoothe and seductive, Justin Bieber takes us down a route we've heard before, but in a eargasmic way and returning to the Pop roots with an infectious beat and oh-so mellow lyrics. We've loved his work this era, it's no wonder this album is destroying the charts and continuing to sell as well as it has been". Besides being performed on promotional TV spots, the promotional single is also being performed with his whole album on an Australia Concert Special, along with his tour JUSTIN: The Greatest & More to support the compilation 'The Collection & More' in stores. Justin previously performed the song on many TV outlets, and plans to perform it in UK & Canada this week. The song has done minimal charting in many European charts + went Top 40 in Australia without ever being a single, and got moderate radio support. Will you be buying Justin's promotional single, or will you keep Too Good to Lose -- the #1 collaboration with singer songwriter Taylor Swift on repeat? In the meanwhile, Justin will continue to mainly promote the #1 single this week all over the world with Taylor Swift also due to release Part 2 of the Music Video.

Lyrics:
"I've just been feinin', I know this **** ain't me man, I can't get it out my mind, it consumes me, day and night. Do you feel the way I do? Do you want me just as much as I want you? 'Cause I've got this fever, all for you. Part of me just can't let it go, part of me won't say no. You got me in a fever, for you. This'll be the end of my road, 'cause I just can't say no."

Justin + The Real
International popstar Justin Bieber was all giggles and laughs, while also ready to have a serious conversation in his interview on The Real. On top of that, he also performed his brand new single, 'Too Good to Lose' which hit airwaves and online this week last week + performed a new song from the new compilation in stores, 'Da Vinci'. The song is a collaboration with Taylor Swift (Too Good to Lose), also included on his #1 Gold album currently in stores 'The Collection & More'. The interview and performance basically took up 1 hour on The Real, and was praised for being one of Justin's few interviews to give his opinion on real life social issues, current news, but ofcourse, like any other promotional visit -- they spent some time talking about his new album and single, currently out. This interview + performance was part of his multiple promotional stops in to support his single + LP this week. Earlier during the day he went over to Barbra Walter's special on the most interesting celebrities + also performing 2 songs from his album, and did an interview that lasted 30 minutes, which will be posted later. The interview was moreso cheerful, and funny -- while keeping it on the subject of real life topics, in comparison to this one which delved more personally. After the interview on The Real, he also performed the single 'Too Good to lose'. Justin was at a piano performing the song acoustically, thus being one of the few times time performing it acoustically as a whole. Someone was at guitar playing instead of him, to give Too Good to Lose a more raw acoustic touch, while another person was doing a light job with a white light shining down on him in silence -- while he focused on his vocals, and keeping the piano on key. Justin's performance was applauded, but he was overall applauded for his piano skill and how he interpreted it into 'Too Good to Lose' almost exactly as the duet version of 'Memphis' containing Vanessa Hudgens, released just weeks prior. After, he performed 'Da Vinci' also in an acoustic tone -- an album track on his new album, penned by Diplo. The performance was small, but was sensual and upclose -- something his fans tend to prefer, over the big lights, in stadiums, and chanting. It not only showed off his vocal and instrument skills, but also showed off his power to woe a room. At the end of the two performances, he got a standing ovation and even some roses and teddy bears thrown at him from the stage. Justin also sung a portion of 'Grand Scheme' as requested by a fan, before the show had to come to an end. Justin Bieber then backstage reflecting on the episode took to Twitter to say 'Whoa, had one hella of a day! Hope y'all saw that one on The Real, very intellectual'. The Real's hosts also took to social media to say Justin was an intelligent person, and his medley performance was amazing + captivated everyone in the room.

Justin on Barbra Walter's 10 Most Fascinating People
Barbara Walters' 10 Most Fascinating People is a televised compilation of ten public figures who are prominent names in the fields of entertainment, sports, politics and popular culture. Hosted by Barbara Walters, the list has been broadcast annually on the second Thursday of December on ABC since 1993. Singer-songwriter Justin Bieber made the list for the first time in the previous year re-cap -- with a new album, single, and more out currently he's only proved he's one of the most fascinating person. A star we've known for years now, still somehow seems fascinating and private to the media and the public. Not much stars are in the singer's circle, and not much people are in his circle period. Justin's real life often is hidden from the media, more than most of his peers facing constant scrutiny and controversy -- Justin was able to sit down for an interview, and especially talk about the things that fascinate the world with him: his engagement with Vanessa Hudgens, his inspiration and ideas behind the music, and his feel on the success of his career.


A portion of the interview is below:

Barbra Walters: So your new album, 'The Collection & More' is in stores. The album is huge, it contains over 20 of your past hits -- not to mention new tracks, including the 2 #1 singles 'Memphis' and 'Too Good to Lose'. After seeing the performance of this album -- specifically nearing multi-million quicker than any other release this year thus far, how do you react? Because, clearly the success is still there.

Justin Bieber: Well, I get amazed and I just take a step back, and say 'wow', like most of us. Sometimes it really is crazy, even for me... to see, that even all these years, releases, and singles later it's still a #1 thing. It's phenomenal, I'll always be proud of it.

Barbra Walters: It's really...amazing. I've been in the entertainment industry for decades, ofcourse -- and I've really seen this with VERY few people. It's a standing ovation worthy thing..your career. I'm proud of you, and I'm sure your family, friends, and most importantly fans are too. Is there ever a time, when you feel under appreciated or maybe as if you should stop?

Justin Bieber: I'm not gonna lie, as anything -- there's always moments when you're really tired of doing something, really wondering why you're doing it, is it still worth it? But when I release these projects, and they do all this... go #1, break records, and sell a ton that's what re-assures me everytime. Even if my stuff stopped going #1, breaking records, or selling a ton you know, I'd still do it -- I have a huge fanbase, and I'm very greatful. Music is also my passion, and life. My priority.

Justin then continued the interview on other subjects for 10 minutes, then performing 'Too Good to Lose' and 'Grand Scheme'. Justin's performance was 6 and a half minutes, and was in the studio inside of his house. Barbra and the cameras sat while he performed, then giving him a standing ovation at the end. Justin joked around, and gave Barbra the mic asking her if she'd wanna do 'Too Good to Lose' with him this time, before the special ended.

ustin started out with introducing and saying, "This is a Yahoo! only event -- Justin: Yahoo! Sessions & More. I'm performing songs apart of my new compilation currently in stores and on Spotify "The Colllection & More". Justin then began with "Memphis", the lead single to the album which reached #1 and had accompanied remixes with Juicy J & fiance Vanessa Hudgens, though was performed solo. The performance was done in the middle of a stage with a red-light shining down on him, while the background was dimmed and had candles all around. The reception was well with the opener, and only continued as he did new album tracks such as "Grand Scheme" and and fan-liked "Master Technique" which received the most tweets during it's performance broadcast for any of the album tracks.

Justin talks + performs on Top of the Pop
Justin Bieber appeared on UK's music countdown program 'Top of the Pop' today, live from United Kingdom where he had been doing promotion. In the interview Biebs talked about the new music out, and upcoming plans. He also took the time to give his opinion on topics they were discussing, such as the tragic Mike Brown situation, to where a black teen was shot by a white officer in a controversy.

Justin is down with us, this afternoon to talk about the new album 'The Collection & More' + perform 'Too Good to Lose' & 'Fever'. Audience, please go crazy for him!
That introduction was awesome. Thank you.

So, what's the deal with this new album 'The Collection & More' that's currently eating up in copies sold across all stores in the UK, as well as the rest of the world?
This era is technically a Greatest Hits era, and also a compilation album I guess -- it can be confusing. It's been very excited, 'cus when I started back in my 'Thrill Seeker' album, I could've never just imagined.... *paused*. The support, it's just amazing. The fact, I'm here...all these albums later, with a Hits album. It's just.. it really does, make me speechless. I already talked about this so many times, but really, haha.

Let's talk about your worse single....what's your opinion on your worst single? & don't say you like them all, c'mon! Haha.
Well, hmm -- that's funny, ahah. I'm terrified to say something, 'cause I know when I go on Twitter tonight the fans will eat me up for ANY choice. But if I had to choose one... I don't really listen much to the stuff from my beginning of my music. It'd have to be one of those. Not necessarily worst as in bad...but they're not reflective of me today, nor do I listen to them much. Maybe '#HitTheDrum', I'd maybe say that.

'Too Good to Lose' is this spicy new song with Taylor Swift, how'd this happen?
Well, this isn't my first time working with her. We originally worked back on 'The Complete Dream', on a song called 'Time After Time'. It was about a relationship, and someone being too good to lose ofcourse. Then we worked together on more on other things, and eventually this came together. Both are some of my favorite tracks I've done, and I thought the demo of the song was so perfect when she showed me, and asked if I'd like to do the duet with her. It was just... goosebumps, really. She's an amazing artist.

Now, what's next after this?
I really wanna do another movie. I really do. I have some stuff in mind for the upcoming year, and we'll just have to see. I'm busy again, and at the same time I'm ready to work again.

Your solo promotional tour is ON SALE. It's coming to London, explain the tour coming.
It's gonna be amazing. All these hits, whereas a normal album would be mostly songs from it and a few additional hits. This is gonna be crazy, and I know it. I'm sure you guys will be impressived plus very satisfied. I think it's among my best tour, looking at the choreography, stage designs, and such already done.

He concluded the appearance performing 'Too Good to Lose' and 'Fever', the former being sitting at a guitar on stage with candles around him -- the latter being a full choreographed performance, and was more praised and also got more viewers.

TAYLOR SWIFT X BILLBOARD JAPAN MUSIC AWARDS
701


Taylor Swift is one of the biggest artists in pop music right now. So whenever the pop singer songwriter is in town it’s guaranteed to be a scene. It turns out there was nothing but a huge scene as the singer would arrive in Tokyo Japan earlier this week to a massive crowd of fans awaiting the singer in the airport. The singer would be seen taking out her personal phone to get a picture and video of all the fans there to see the singer. Her boyfriend, male model Simon Nessman would be by her side and would be pleasantly surprised when fans too asked for pictures with him. He’d then exchange those pictures with just him to pictures of he and Taylor with the fans. The two would spend almost thirty minutes tang pictures with the fans before they’d finally depart from the airport to the first stop on Taylor’s three day visit in the city in which she’d be doing promotion and enjoying some downtime in the mean time. Today the singer would make her final appearance in the country, performing a medley at the Billboard JAPAN Music Awards, a medley that would consist of two of the singers singles from her album ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, ‘Style’ and ‘Too Good To Lose’, songs that both have managed to reach the summit of the singles charts in Japan. The album too has become Taylor’s best selling album in Japan in a little less than two weeks, marking an all time high for the American pop star. But before taking the stage she would give an interview for the program, talking much about her experiences about Japan and if she has any plans that involve the city in the future.

Interviewer for Billboard: You’re a huge force in Japan. ‘Yours’ has already sold over three hundred thousand copies here in a little less than two weeks, making you the best selling American artist of the year here so far. How is to have such astonishing success in Japan

Taylor: American music here sells but it doesn’t really sell as fast as my record is currently doing. So because of that I can say that I’m really flattered by this success in particular because Japan has such eclectic taste in music and really american pop music isn’t really anything eclectic if we’re being honest. So with that in mind, it’s really an honor that you all are really enjoying my music. Enjoying it so much that you’re willing to let me sell greatly among the other amazing artists on the charts here.

Interviewer for Billboard: We hear you’re in talks to extend the Forever Yours World Tour. Are there any more Japanese dates coming? I mean your first four here in Tokyo sold out almost instantly.

Taylor: Japan is a country I’ll never neglect when it comes to touring. One because of all the support you guys have shown. I couldn’t necessarily visit cities like Osaka and such because of schooling issues with my schedule and booking issues with the stadiums there so with that I decided to add another two dates in Tokyo and lowered the prices a little to make up for the traveling expenses of those from other places. But I’m definitely coming back to Japan. I love it here, it’s probably one of my favorite places ever.

Interviewer for Billboard: What’s the next chapter too look like for Taylor Swift?

Taylor: The next chapter for me is going to be one of pure and utter tranquility. Hopefully. I’m really growing into the woman I want to become so with that I’m going to make a really strong-willed album. It’s going to be bold, daring, fearless, and just raw. I’ve always made records like that but with the one coming up it’s heartfelt, headstrong, audacious even, but most of all it’s mature. It really shows the transition of my work from when I was that sixteen year old girl writing songs on her guitar to being a woman who’s embraced the heartbreak and love to write songs that I believe can help others and really have changed me and shown my evolution as a person and artist.

'Too Good to Lose' -- Music Video: Part 2
Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift released 'Too Good to Lose' as a single a few weeks ago -- immediately the reception was huge, and liked with the part 1 of the music video also premiering on Taylor's VEVO to go along with the many performances and interviews. The single would achieve great success off the back, hitting the top spot on iTunes in over fifty countries around the world following intensive and heavy promotion from the two who’ve been traveling all around the world promoting the track. They’d perform and appear on over fifteen shows this week, making it one of their most promotion tracks to date. Further promotion would come today for the song but not in the form of a performance or interview. But in the form of a music. A part two of the music video was premiered, this time on Justin Bieber's VEVO. The video being titled, ‘Justin Bieber w/ Taylor Swift - ‘Too Good To Lose’ (Part 2)’. The video would draw in massive views in the first few hours, scoring over fifteen million views in the first twenty four hours. Taylor would co-star in the second installment, the two playing a couple who’s relationship is going through turbulence.

The video would start off in black and white with Justin sitting at the TV in the living room, while Taylor is at the dinner table behind eating her food silently -- the house themed retro in the 50's. Silence in his eyes and anger shown in his lips being bitten. Justin then turns off the TV, while Taylor finishes eating her food -- the two stare at each other briefly, Justin showing dismay in his eyes and unsatisfaction. Justin is seen saying something out of anger which causes a reaction from Taylor who yells something back at him. Justin gets up still yelling back at her in anger, and reaches for his coat and tries to leave out the door -- before being pushed against the side by Taylor who's holding his hands and staring into his eyes. They stare at each other some more before the camera pans to the room on the other side of the wall, showing a happier version of the two, of which Taylor is pinning Justin against the wall, the two face to face leaning into kiss before the scene changes again. Throughout this whole scene, in the video, shots were also shown of the two walking towards each other in a field -- belting the lyrics, and also love in both of their eyes, getting closer, and closer until they touch hands.

This time in the next scene Justin's in the bed, under the blanket -- to where Taylor is sitting in a chair by the bed reading a book -- still old-fashion themed. We see Taylor close the book with the title 'We Never Go Out of Style: Part 2' showing a tribute to the part two of the music video, and Taylor's previous single 'Style'. She comes towards him taking off her reading glasses, also letting her hair down -- to where she gets into the bed smiling and laughing under the covers, now the two are cuddling. There’s shifting noticeable from the camera as a shot of the two waist up laying on each other are shown, the two staring in each other’s eyes while Taylor continues to flirt, Justin looks unimpressed, uninspired, and still angered. He closes his eyes, when we open them, there’s an entire different mood portrayed by the acting, the intimacy being real and love filling the room. Shots of her hands running down his chest and back are shown, the two making love as their bodies move in the shifting position. The two never kiss before Taylor blinks again, the darker version coming back as Justin stares angrily at Taylor who pushes him off of her, leaving the bed, and zipping up the undershirt.

The bridge would feature happier moments of the two sharing hugs, dancing. Then a clip starts of them as kids -- small versions of themselves, at school on the playground where Taylor kisses him on the cheek. When they finally pull away, the two stare into each other’s eyes at a loss for words and not sure what they’re feeling.

Too Good to Lose -- Alternate Remix

Justin Bieber's VEVO page premiered the new alternate version of 'Too Good to Lose'. The duet is with singer, and superstar Taylor Swift. The alternate remix was the instrumental almost completely re-done, with a piano added in, and also new synths and background vocals. The remix also contained a new verse from each of them, with 1 of both their original verses both being taken out. The duet was also uploaded to iTunes & Amazon along with the Remix EP which was uploaded earlier during the week. The duet is to be uploaded to other streaming services later throughout the week, and there's no word on whether Justin & Taylor will perform this version together of the new single. The duet however, is a remodeled version of the song -- it includes a new verse, piano in the instrumental, and a different tone. The duet was premiered in the morning, and announced by Justin on Twitter. Taylor spoke with E!, and commented 'The new version duet is something we did a few weeks ago. It was so sensual and amazing, and to me -- I prefer the new over the original version. It's very sweet and intimate moreso than the original if you know what I mean, and the duet to me overall is one of our best tracks period. If you haven't heard it hop online and give it a listen, you'll love it'. This comes after the 2nd part to the music video to 'Too Good to Lose' also premiered today, and amassed millions of viewers and went to #1 on YouTube by the end of the day. Last week, both of the labels also released a Pop Remix EP -- and this week, they've released an R&B Remix EP. This week, the new remix has already amassed more downloads and is receiving more praise. Some radio stations have already picked up the new duet, and so have many fans. The duet has reached over 1 million views on YouTube, and earlier this morning Taylor Swift posted a quick Instagram post of her singing the new version of the song directly after the duet premiered. She also talked about the brand new music video saying, 'I hope you guys love this music video too. He put in so much work on it; not to mention the scenes were kick-ass. I'll be working on some movies too, so make sure to take a little look at those while you're watching the acting'. Justin is to go to and perform and do more interviews around the world this week, as also is Taylor -- so who knows the possibility of them performing this one together, although it's really one hoped for by the two fanbases. However, the duet is spicy and a new look at the song so we'll be playing it for a long time. Justin tweeted, 'The new alternate version of the single is OUT now. Listen to it at iTunes & VEVO, I'm sure you guys will love it'.

TAYLOR SWIFT X MESAMASHI TV
744



Taylor Swift has been promoting in Tokyo Japan for the past three days, visiting radio stations, recording studios, television studios, and even shopping malls. Today the singer would finish up most of her promotion, stopping by this morning by Mesamashi TV for an interview and performance of her brand new material from her first ever greatest hits release that has the title of ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, a title dedicated to her fans who’ve remained loyal to her over the years and really have had a major part of her success. At Mezamashi TV, Taylor would give a performance of her promotional singles ‘I Wish You Would’ and ’Nylon’, along with the two singles released from ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’, ‘Style’ and ‘Too Good To Lose’.

Mezamashi TV: You’ve been an artist who originally wasn’t a fan of collaborations. As we’ve seen you evolve and really release more songs of the years of you releasing with other artists, we wonder if you’re still as excited about the thought of a collaboration as you’ve been in the past years.

Taylor Swift: Collaborations have to be really selective. I remember there was a time during the Electric Princess era where I was really written off and dubbed as an artist who used collaborations to get number one singles. But in reality, I was the one funding the promotion and the only one actually promoting the song. At that time I’d already had four or so number ones to my name, so wherever that claim came from is just beyond me. But at that time I had so many projects that I was passionate about that involved other artists and I made the mistake of sort’ve releasing them consecutively. So then I had to face the predicament of really just releasing solo single after solo single to prove to people that I could get a solo hit. I mean I got three number ones consecutively after and I’ve managed to scan platinum worldwide with every album I’ve released so far so.. But to answer the question, no. Collaborating is a rarity for my now because I’ve become really selective with what i want to release and what I want to be out there with my name on it. But if I’m really passionate about something and hear a song I feel I can add something to, then yes I’ll collaborate with the artist if they’re up for it and sort’ve can meet me halfway when taking in account the terms that must be agreed to when collaborating.

Mezamashi TV: So if you had to rank your three top collaborations you’ve released thus far what would they be?

Taylor Swift: I would definitely rank ‘Gunshots’ as my favorite collaboration I’ve ever done. Simply because the song is nothing short of a masterpiece and really out of all the songs that I’ve release, it’s always had this memorability and lasting impact that’s stuck with me. It really was a song that helped other people around me and received such a lauding reception. Not to mention, the lyrics, the melody, all of it’s perfect. Really close to the first spot is my most recent collaboration ‘Too Good To Lose’. Justin knew right away as soon as I played him the song that it was going to be one of the defining moments in my career. He told me that and I hadn’t told him then but I’d imagined him singing it with me when I wrote it. Because I wrote it right after he’d played me some music from his new album that was really R&B and almost Urban inspired. So with that, I went in the studio with producer Dev Hynes and I made the demo. The next day Justin and I recorded are parts over with Dev and it mastered and mix and on it’s way to the label for approval of the album. And third, ‘I Swear’. Simply because it’s one of the first collaborations I ever released, in fact it’s the first collaboration of mine. Eric is such a flirtatious and sweet asshole. He’s also a gifted songwriter and really has an ear for songs that really can last with you and make you want to sing and dance. With ‘I Swear’ though he really traded that in for a shining pop ballad of a moment with me. It was really like the two worlds of music we’d been living in merged and made that song.

Justin & Taylor -- American Idol
Superstar duo Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift continued making headlines with the #1 song, 'Too Good to Lose' (on both of their new compilations, 'The Collection & More' plus 'Yours: The Greatest Hits'). After performing in numerous countries, along with special interviews online, televised, they dropped a 2nd music video for the single and on top of that, released an alternate remix of the song which was a re-done edition last night. The next day the duo came to Los Angeles flown in the early morning, preparing to perform on American Idol's first live episode of the season. FOX had heavily advertised during the week, plenty of commercials along with radio broadcasts announcing 'Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift performing -- this week's episode of American Idol only on FOX!'. It was also announced and talked about all over Twitter, along with Ryan Seacrest bringing it up -- and putting the new version of 'Too Good to Lose' on power rotation on his radio station the day before. Justin talked about the upcoming performance with VH1 saying, 'Yeah, I want my fans to tune in tonight. It's gonna be really fun and crazy! I'm looking forward to having a good time. Finally time to get back in America and perform this new single'.

Before going on stage, they talked to the contestants -- some were performing songs from Justin's discography that week, due to the extensive promotional partnership with Justin Bieber that American Idol announced weeks prior. They also gave the contestants great advice about how to win the competition or at least do their best. “Don’t think about every little thing that can go wrong up there. Lose yourself in the moment, let your heart do what your mind does. Don’t think at all. Just feel what the music is telling you to do. If you’re as passionate about this as I think you are, each and every one of you can win this. It’s going to be a tough competition so just go out there and give it your all. Don’t worry about losing or whether i was good enough. You-you just need to go out there and prove to them that you belong up on that stage. Sing for your life. Sing like it’s the last time you’ll ever perform on stage. Embrace the inner diva in you and just go out there and kill it alright? I believe in you all.” The contestants would all hug Taylor before she’d leave the hallway where they were all gathered to go get ready for her performance. The results would then air as following a commercial break Taylor and Justin would be announced out to stage.

For the first time -- live, they performed the new alternate version of 'Too Good to Lose'. The performance would start off with the two singing on two platforms on the opposite side of the stage. Slowly but surely they’d move toward each other, stretching out like a bridge almost as the two would then sing in front of a huge monitor that would consist of strobe light flashes as the two would sing to each other. When the platforms finally collected, the two would sing to each other with passion, getting a little up close and intimate before ending the performance with a belt that they executed well. During the whole performance, the background screen showed clips from the Justin music video which premiered earlier the other day, and they also talked about the new music videos and the process before leaving.

Justin: Australia Live Concert
Justin Bieber's live television concert for Australia aired tonight on Day FM, Vodafone All-time Prepaid and Take 40 in Australia, all over the country. Done in Melbourne, the special was announced last week + tickets were being given during his promotional stops in Australia to promote the single at the time, 'Memphis'. The live concert was 2 hours long, and was in promotion of his newest album 'The Collection & More' which had already become his biggest album in Australia, with the two singles reaching #1 + the album staying at #1 for multiple weeks, already multi-platinum in Australia.

Setlist:
Memphis
Favorite Kind of Trouble
Take Me To Your Heaven
Sophistication
Fever
My Everything
Turnt
Da Vinci
Just Between Us
Brand New Day
Chemistry
Grand Scheme
Master Technique
Too Good to Lose

Justin's performance began with bursting on stage in smoke, confetti, and backup dancers while breaking down a routine and singing 'Memphis' the song originally featuring Big Sean. The performance was upbeat, and also had red + yellow lights flashing down on him the entire time. He then transitioned into 'Favorite Kind of Trouble' to where he took the time to say, 'let's welcome out someone special...Eric Saade get your ass out here!' to screaming plus applause. They performed the song together, one of the only two times since it was a single -- the first was at Justin's album release concert, back in United States. The performance for the two one was of the highlights of the concert; next he ended up performing 'Take Me To Your Heaven' and 'Sophistication' both with Eric Saade, still. The latter was a hit single from Eric's album, and received much surprise, but acclaim and satisfaction that Justin was performing the song. After Eric left the stage for the three songs, the audience was more hype than ever -- seeing 2 Pop Icons perform together, coming together for the first time in forever on Australian turf, constantly ignored by North American artists. Justin next performed 2 past hits, followed by 2 new tracks -- 'Fever', then 'My Everything' plus 'Turnt', followed by 'Da Vinci'. The performances of those 4 songs was a highlight not only for his choreography for all four -- but his vocals were the second best of the night during the performances. Justin then took the time to perform more slow paced -- doing 3 more hits, 'Just Between Us', 'Brand New Day', and 'Chemistry' all which are slower songs, more powerful, and the latter and former being seductive. Justin invited two fans on stage during those performances, then finally closed the TV concert performing 3 songs which were all new tracks from 'The Collection & More'. He performed 'Grand Scheme' and 'Master Technique', before then closing with the new alternate version of 'Too Good to Lose' on piano. The concert was huge -- bringing in record-shattering audience for the Australia networks. The performance sent the album back to #1 on iTunes yet again, with 'The Complete Dream' re-entering the Top 40 + 'Crossing Paths' re-entering the Top 100. 'Too Good to Lose' remained at #1 with it's hugest lead yet, on Australian iTunes.

TAYLOR SWIFT X JAPAN LIVE TV CONCERT
798



Taylor Swift would host a special live television concert on the Japanese television channel Fuji TV. The concert would be broadcasted from an exclusive park in the city of Tokyo, where over one hundred thousand fans would attend the concert. The concert would last a little over an hour and would consist of the singer songwriter singing fifteen songs, performing some rare songs rather than her new stuff to really give the fans a taste back into the older hits in her catalogue and discography rather than the new stuff she’s released with the past few albums. Nonetheless the concert was critically acclaimed by reviewers who’d come to critique the show for the publications they were working for. The set would start off with one of Swift’s most known songs, that song would be none than Taylor Swift’s signature hit off her album ‘1989’ Shake It Off, which managed to peak at number four on the singles charts in Japan. The beat would it the crowd with force as the entire stage would light up in in lights of pink and purple, the singer appearing wearing a black crop top and black skirt, with some six inch heels. With a catwalk that extended out to the audience with a center stage that had some staircases down, the singer would spend the entire performance on the center stage before walking to the center stage to hit the bridge. “Just to think while you been getting down and out about the liars and the dirty dirty cheats of the world, Japan you could’ve been getting down to this. sick. beat.” From there the singer would then go into the chant of the song, the audience cheering along with an almost megaphone like effect came over the audio. “My ex man brought his new girlfriend she’s like oh my god but i’m just gonna shake and to the fella over there with the hella good hair, come on over baby we can shake shake”. From there the singer would hit the belt of the song replacing the run with “Yeah Japan”, hitting the words in the same form of the run, doing the little dance routine that involved much shaking and movement of her hands. She’d then dance with my liberty at the end as she extended the final chorus to double it, making it last a little longer. She’d then pose with her hand on her hip, her hair messy from the dancing prior.

“Japan you are just so beautiful tonight. I must tell you, that coming here is something that never gets old. You guys are so passionate, so ecstatic, so dedicated to the music you care about and I must tell you, it’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen. Never change and more importantly, I want you to realize that right here in this moment, we are forever. We are eternity. So let’s enjoy this moment.” The singer would say before the song she dedicated to the fans before going into the next song in the set.


She’d then get into a performance of ‘Out of The Woods’, a song from her album out of the woods. The intro would fill the arena before the monitors behind her would glow with different scenery before she’d continue one with the song. “Looking at it now, it all seemed so simple. We were lying on your couch, I remember. You took a polaroid of us, then discovered. The whole world was in black and white but we were in screaming color and I remember thinking…”” The singer would croon before moving on to the next song in the set, the next song in the set would be none other than classic hit of Taylor’s from her album Fearless ‘You Belong With Me’.

Overall the concert was a monstrous success, bringing in some of the highest ratings for a Fuji TV television program and would bring Swift a major increase in album sales in Japan. The singer would wrap the concert up with a performance of her latest number one single ‘Style’ but not before performing her classic Japanese hits ‘Love Story’ and ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together’.

Forever Yours World Tour: Night 13 x NYC

NIGHT 1 X NYC


The wonderful, beautiful, and talented Taylor Swift was live in New York City tonight at Yankee’s Stadium to kick off her brand new tour entitled the ‘Forever Yours World Tour’. The tour will visit major cities across the globe in support of her first ever compilation album, a greatest hits record, which is titled ‘Yours: The Greatest Hits’. From New York City, to Washington DC, to Los Angeles, to London, Tokyo, and Paris, the tour will visit all these spots as Taylor plans to give a huge show for a limited amount of dates.

When speaking about why the tour’s visiting so few dates, Taylor said there was a perfect explanation why. “I have something else in the works right now that I think will happen. It’s something I think the fans will love even more than the show you’re seeing now. It’s something way bigger than that and I feel like fans are going to be way more into it than the tour I’m starting tonight. So those who are upset I’m not visiting the smaller cities this time around, just wait. They’re coming. Just not yet, and just not with this tour. Bear with me please, I love you all. I hope you guys like the album.” Taylor spoke this in a video she posted on VEVO/her personal youtube channel.

The tour would start off at Yankee’s Stadium at seven eastern time. Stage production and stage setup would ensue for hours prior while Taylor would be off doing promotion, speaking to in an interview with Good Morning America that she was more than nervous for the show tonight, saying she was “scared senseless” but also “really damn excited” for the show and to see all her fans. “I’ve played Yankee Stadium like four times before so I’m not really nervous for that. I’m just nervous to see how the fans will react to the new arrangements of songs, the costumes, the massiveness of it all. It’s going to be really craze and I hope they really love it as much as I do. So here’s for wishful thinking.”

Over fifty thousand people would fill the arena ten minutes prior to the show as they awaited in silence for the singer-songwriter who just scored her ninth number one single ‘Style’ to come on stage. But first they would be greeted by Taylor’s opening act. The opening act for her tour would be none other than The Walking Dead actress Emily Kinney who would impress the audience with her soft and folk like vocals over her guitar. She would later come out during Taylor’s set to perform a duet version of the Tom Waits’ song ‘Hold On’ with Taylor before leaving the stage, but not without a hug from Taylor first.

The show would kick off with Taylor’s opening track from ‘1989’, one of the singer’s number one albums. The stage would light up in pink before dimming down again as black and white footage of New York would appear on the screen before a pink cursive like font would say ‘Welcome to New York, - Love Taylor”. A part of the stage would illuminate in pink and the doors would open revealing Taylor in a cute pink ensemble consisting of a pink sequined crop top with a tight skirt to match. She had her hand on her hip as she walked out the door to face the massive audience, a smile on her face as she strutted around the stage, moving her hips and body to the snap and snares in the song’s new production which gave the song a bit more of an electronic take than it’s original production.

The audience would go crazy as during the second verse dancers would pop out of parts of the stage that were being pushed up from the floor and lit up like city skyscrapers (MDNA Tour teas). Taylor would do a little dance routine with her backup dancers who would come out from behind them before belting out the chorus and bridge, her blue eyes and distinctive vocals capturing the audience’s attention before she would finish the song by walking out on the long catwalk that extended over fifty yards before finishing on the second part of the stage there. “Welcome to New York.” The singer should say nonchalantly before putting her hand on her hip and throwing her other hand up in the air. Pink fireworks would shoot up around the part of stage she was on before racing back along the catwalk and on center stage, creating a domino effect with the pink sparkles that shot up from the stage.

Other songs included on the tour included all of the singer’s number ones and included most of her top three hits sans ‘Psycho’, ‘I Swear’, and ‘Girl With The Red Lipstick’. Some new tracks from her Greatest Hits were included, such as ‘Too Good To Love’ as Taylor sang the song completely solo but Justin’s vocals were pre-recorded as a video montage would play for his part before the song would take a turn into the acoustic driven ‘Time After Time’ which was shortened down into just Taylor’s parts. Other new tracks included ‘Hold On’, which received a standing ovation from the audience, along with the promotional singles ‘Harvard Smiles’, and ‘Lipstick on His Collar’, both of which were greatly received by the audience.

Taylor put on an amazing show, critics and fans lauding Swift for her interactiveness with fans despite the huge setup and production of the show. A critic called Swift’s ‘Forever Yours Tour’ absolutely incredible and that she did nothing but prove the reason why she’s the leading lady in music and one of the biggest forces in pop music.

It’s something I think the fans will love even more than the show you’re seeing now. It’s something way bigger than that and I feel like fans are going to be way more into it than the tour I’m starting tonight. So those who are upset I’m not visiting the smaller cities this time around, just wait. They’re coming. Just not yet, and just not with this tour. Bear with me please, I love you all. I hope you guys like the album.” Taylor spoke this in a video she posted on VEVO/her personal youtube channel.

The tour would continue Yankee’s Stadium at seven eastern time. Stage production and stage setup would ensue for hours prior while Taylor would be off doing promotion, speaking to in an interview with Good Morning America that she was more than nervous for the show tonight, saying she was “scared senseless” but also “really damn excited” for the show and to see all her fans. “I’ve played Yankee Stadium like four times before so I’m not really nervous for that. I’m just nervous to see how the fans will react to the new arrangements of songs, the costumes, the massiveness of it all. It’s going to be really craze and I hope they really love it as much as I do. So here’s for wishful thinking.”

Over fifty thousand people would fill the arena ten minutes prior to the show as they awaited in silence for the singer-songwriter who just scored her ninth number one single ‘Style’ to come on stage. But first they would be greeted by Taylor’s opening act. The opening act for her tour would be none other than The Walking Dead actress Emily Kinney who would impress the audience with her soft and folk like vocals over her guitar. She would later come out during Taylor’s set to perform a duet version of the Tom Waits’ song ‘Hold On’ with Taylor before leaving the stage, but not without a hug from Taylor first.

The show would kick off with Taylor’s opening track from ‘1989’, one of the singer’s number one albums. The stage would light up in pink before dimming down again as black and white footage of New York would appear on the screen before a pink cursive like font would say ‘Welcome to New York, - Love Taylor”. A part of the stage would illuminate in pink and the doors would open revealing Taylor in a cute pink ensemble consisting of a pink sequined crop top with a tight skirt to match. She had her hand on her hip as she walked out the door to face the massive audience, a smile on her face as she strutted around the stage, moving her hips and body to the snap and snares in the song’s new production which gave the song a bit more of an electronic take than it’s original production.

The audience would go crazy as during the second verse dancers would pop out of parts of the stage that were being pushed up from the floor and lit up like city skyscrapers (MDNA Tour teas). Taylor would do a little dance routine with her backup dancers who would come out from behind them before belting out the chorus and bridge, her blue eyes and distinctive vocals capturing the audience’s attention before she would finish the song by walking out on the long catwalk that extended over fifty yards before finishing on the second part of the stage there. “Welcome to New York.” The singer should say nonchalantly before putting her hand on her hip and throwing her other hand up in the air. Pink fireworks would shoot up around the part of stage she was on before racing back along the catwalk and on center stage, creating a domino effect with the pink sparkles that shot up from the stage.

Other songs included on the tour included all of the singer’s number ones and included most of her top three hits sans ‘Psycho’, ‘I Swear’, and ‘Girl With The Red Lipstick’. Some new tracks from her Greatest Hits were included, such as ‘Too Good To Love’ as Taylor sang the song completely solo but Justin’s vocals were pre-recorded as a video montage would play for his part before the song would take a turn into the acoustic driven ‘Time After Time’ which was shortened down into just Taylor’s parts. Other new tracks included ‘Hold On’, which received a standing ovation from the audience, along with the promotional singles ‘Harvard Smiles’, and ‘Lipstick on His Collar’, both of which were greatly received by the audience.

Taylor put on an amazing show, critics and fans lauding Swift for her interactiveness with fans despite the huge setup and production of the show. A critic called Swift’s ‘Forever Yours Tour’ absolutely incredible and that she did nothing but prove the reason why she’s the leading lady in music and one of the biggest forces in pop music.

TAYLOR SWIFT X INKIGAYO
702



Taylor Swift was live on the South Korean music television show Inkigayo where the singer would perform four songs from her album Yours: The Greatest hits, an album that has set the Gaon Albums charts on fire. In a little less than two weeks, the album as managed to sell almost one hundred thousand copies, a huge feat for an american album and an album in general for a market like South Korea. The singer songwriter would appear on the show wearing a black crop top and black tight skirt for her interview in which she talked about her brand new promotional singles and about her upcoming plans regarding the material on her greatest hits record which has achieved major worldwide success, a success that has surpassed the success achieved from her former albums such as ‘Electric Princess’ and even by her now second most successful record to date ‘Coven 13’. The singer would address the success in an interview with Inkigayo in which some interviewer would come out to interview her.


Inkigayo interviewer: You’ve had amazing success in South Korea. What’s it like to really be big in almost every country in Asia?


Taylor Swift: Being successful in a continent like Asia is really a blessing. I’ve always really experienced success in places like the United States, the United Kingdom, and places like Brazil but really Asia is that market that’s really hard for some artists to crack. To think that I’m one of the few who’ve been able to do it is just really thrilling. I never really expected for my music to get the response it’s gotten. So the fact South Korea and all these other countries that I’ve always loved visiting are enjoying the music and going out to support it really makes me happy and proud of the stuff I’ve put out.

Inkigayo interviewer: Your promotional singles have too been making an impact on the music charts as of late. What was going through your mind when you were choosing from the track list on the album to really make the decision of what songs from the album would serve as the next promotional singles?


Taylor Swift: Deciding the promotional singles was really an easy task because I’ve already release two promotional singles, two new singles, and there are only eight songs on the record. So I sort’ve had no other options but to choose the remaining two. But really they were songs that if I wanted the era to last as long as possible would become singles at some point. But really I’m so inspired right now and really enjoying the little bit of a break I have right now to release them as singles and fully promote them. SO instead I just released them as promotional singles. To make myself happy and those who like the songs somewhat happy. I’m trying you know. But I can say that there’s one single left I want to do and it’s coming really soon.

Inkigayo interviewer: Before you go, tell us a little we can expect from your album of Young Heartache and really what the record is about and what it means to you?


Taylor Swift: ‘Young Heartache’ is an album that I really think defines my entire career in pop music. It’s sort of the a mixture, a big boiling pot that’s really it’s own genre. Over the years I’ve discovered so much new music, I’ve grew up on so much music that’s effected me. So with that, I created a record that’s really inspired everything I’ve ever done and created this record that I think will truly be my last pop record. At least for awhile. The album lyrically takes account of all the experiences, all the pain, suffering, relationships and stuff I’ve been through, along with the moments of laughter friendship, love, and really just growth too. Because even though we get older, I’m getting older, you’re getting older, the youth still lives in our minds and I think that’s the great thing about it, you know? That’s really what Young Heartache is about. It’s really just a record that really defines who I am as an artist and person.That's what 'Young Heartache' is.

Justin Bieber: Canada's Got Talent
Justin performed two times on this week's episode of Canada's Got Talent. First he opened the episode with a medley of 'Da Vinci' & 'Memphis'. Then he ended the show with a 6 minute long performance of 'Too Good to Lose', which was piano-accompanied and heartfelt. It was well taken, and claimed to be better than his previous performance on Canada's Got Talent. The performances were also even well received by the Judge's panel, who quoted on Justin "you are an inspiration! Showing them how to get it done!" to his liking. The performances were uploaded to YouTube directly after, each amassing over 1 million views. The performances resulted in a ratings spike of 7% for the episode, against it's previous episode -- and 12% against the previous episode of the previous season. Justin's album, 'The Collection & More' jumped to #1 on Canada's iTunes following the performance.

"Da Vinci / Memphis" Medley: Justin stepped on the stage to a light shining down on him, and that's when he began to perform. With a dance crew he performed "Da Vinci" with neat and luminous 3-D effects in the background on the screen, plus some of Da Vinci's paintings shown. Thesong in general also received great reception from those listening. He did the performance to high-energy, including high-energy from the audience it's self, he did the usual on point choreography and the steamy vocals and also did a nice little holding note at the end which got him that extra applause from the audience. Then the short performance of "Da Vinci" was turned into the medley with "Memphis" falling directly right into it. Big Sean was there for this performance, one of the only 3 times in which he was able to perform the song alongside Biebs -- he made the audience give it up, and go nuts. They had entirely too much fun, as did the audience as they were enjoying performing in general you could see in their faces, and as Justin started the words to the song he had a smile of enjoyment on his face. He then finished the quick medley on point to the last song with the dancing still on precise point.

"Too Good to Lose" Performance: Justin then closed out the high rated episode of Canada's Got Talent, with performing the #1 collaboration -- solo, over at piano. He performed the song with a previous winner of the last season -- the female accompany was unexpected, but appreciated as Taylor couldn't perform. The current season contestants sat at the end of the stage in applause and impressed, watching them sing the duet at piano and the duet it's self was 6 minutes long to where Justin and her both sung extended parts to the original version, and the video played for 1 minute before the performance ever started, syncing in with the start of the performance. Even the judging table was completely impressed by the performance, it was serious-- but it was a fun type of serious, that lit up the day of everyone who took the time to watch the performance.

BBC Radio 1: Interview + Performance

BBC Interview: After doing a televised performance in UK for 'Top of the Pops' performing two singles, Justin also performed on BBC Radio giving 2 acoustic performances. On top of that, he also gave a radio interview with BBC. “Too Good to Lose, I think has been more than just a single for me. When you record songs like this, especially with this lyrical content -- in a way that comes directly from the heart, it's personal. Yes, relationships are like this [referring to the music video] where you feel disconnected at times, and seem to fight constantly. This song has been a medicine for the one or two times this has happened, because it's been recorded for awhile before the album ever touched the public. These kind of songs are like... something you hold close to you, and they're so much more than personal. I think this song is amazing, and Taylor would've said the same” he started the interview. Justin also continued the interview talking about the solo tour announced -- “JUSTIN: The Mini Tour & More”. “This tour will be 10 days only -- in the 10 cities: London, Tokyo, Toronto, Los Angeles, Sydney, Rio de Jenero, Cancun, Dubai, Beijing and Rome. It'll be huge -- I'm performing THE career highlights, which if you've noticed... is quite a lot of things, haha. I'll have special guests, and ofcourse -- the stages, the designs, and the overall energy will be amazing. This is promotion for my upcoming joint tour with Taylor Swift -- also for those fans who really really just wanna see me solo. But overall, this promotional tour will be a glimpse of the upcoming big tour and attract those. This one will be shown in an upcoming HBO Special too, to get those interested for the huge tour with Taylor”.

BBC Performance: “BBC, the time has come -- my first ever performance on BBC Radio! Let's hit it!” Justin said, before performing Too Good to Lose acoustically. The performance was 4 minute, over on his guitar and also was performed in a stool while being broadcasted live on there website for international fans and fans at home. The performance was followed by an acoustic performance of “Fever” -- the performance was given a chilling vocal, along with some free-styling and laughing throughout. Justin's performances on BBC Radio were listened to by over 1.5 million of Britian's population -- and the online stream attracted 300,000 listeners. Justin's performance was also played throughout the day after he left, and uploaded to BBC's official site. “If you liked this performance... please, do yourself a favor and go out and get the album titled 'The Collection & More' also available online. The support has been great, which is why I've been returning so much. Let's get the album selling more and more, so I can return and do some more hot performances. The support is appreciated UK!” said the superstar singer-songwriter before leaving the studio, and finishing up the promotion there.

JUSTIN: The Greatest Tour & More – Rome

JUSTIN: The Greatest Tour & More

Justin's return to the music industry thus far was huge – 2 #1 singles, 1 #1 album, and over multi-million sales. Thus, what for? A celebration of his greatest moments yet – even more were created. Justin Bieber had become more global than ever, promotional performances and interviews were commissioned all over the world – US, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia, Japan, UK, and more. All for the return and all for some new huge earth-shattering hits. That ofcourse, couldn't be the icing to the cake, right? Justin knew from the beginning – if he wanted the era to really be a celebration, he'd have to commend a huge tour – a celebration within the tour it's self. Justin got to sketching, and in the end – an upcoming World Tour with Taylor Swift was announced. “Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift: Kennedy Dreams World Tour”. The tour would transcend the continents and provide some of the best experiences for a World Tour. But before that could begin, the two announced mini solo-tours they would both endure throughout the world.

Drake had previously been featured on the remix for “Jumbled Up” a #3 peaking hit, while Nicki Minaj featured on the remix for his #1 hit “Trainwreck Paradise Island”. Performed only in 10 stadiums worldwide – each night a setlist of 20 performances were given, the acclaim was huge, not a single publication that didn't call it his best tour yet. The fans were wild, over 60-90,000 in each stadium and ticket prices of over $250-$1,250 were driving the fans for a huge event. Overall, the tour was done in London, Tokyo, Toronto, Los Angeles, Sydney, Rio de Jenero, Cancun, Dubai, Beijing and Rome.

JUSTIN: The Greatest Tour & More – Cancun

JUSTIN: The Greatest Tour & More

Justin's return to the music industry thus far was huge – 2 #1 singles, 1 #1 album, and over multi-million sales. Thus, what for? A celebration of his greatest moments yet – even more were created. Justin Bieber had become more global than ever, promotional performances and interviews were commissioned all over the world – US, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia, Japan, UK, and more. All for the return and all for some new huge earth-shattering hits. That ofcourse, couldn't be the icing to the cake, right? Justin knew from the beginning – if he wanted the era to really be a celebration, he'd have to commend a huge tour – a celebration within the tour it's self. Justin got to sketching, and in the end – an upcoming World Tour with Taylor Swift was announced. “Justin Bieber & Taylor Swift: Kennedy Dreams World Tour”. The tour would transcend the continents and provide some of the best experiences for a World Tour. But before that could begin, the two announced mini solo-tours they would both endure throughout the world. The mini-tours for promotion of the upcoming world tour, their albums currently, and for fans who'd prefer to see them solo. The mini-tours would cover all of their hits individually, too. Justin's tour: “JUSTIN: The Greatest Tour & More” was announced and started in promotion of the new album, “The Collection & More”. Justin would be performing almost all the songs included on the compilation – along with some other gems. Special performing guests included Drake & Nicki Minaj – fellow Platinum selling rappers, known for penning and being featured in many hits. Drake had previously been featured on the remix for “Jumbled Up” a #3 peaking hit, while Nicki Minaj featured on the remix for his #1 hit “Trainwreck Paradise Island”. Performed only in 10 stadiums worldwide – each night a setlist of 20 performances were given, the acclaim was huge, not a single publication that didn't call it his best tour yet.

Justin performs: Canada Radio Music Awards

AWARD SHOW WINS: Finishing promotion in the home country Canada, Justin Bieber performed and won awards over at the Canada's Radio Music Awards – honoring the artists and songs that were the biggest in Canada. CRMA's announced this week that Justin would close the show performing 'Too Good Lose' & 'Fever' + was nominated in multiple categories. Justin announced he'd be coming to the CRMA's the same time his performance was announced saying, 'CRMA here I come! The fan support on radio over the past year will be honored that night. Tune in Canadian fans!'. This was following the promotion the previous day, over on Canada's Got Talent – Canada's top talent competition. Justin arrived at the pre-carpet, and did a quick little interview with one of the hosts, after going inside the building and taking a seat in his front-row seat. The host announced some categories, and then some of the categories Justin was nominated in followed. Justin was nominated in the following categories – Top Radio Artist, Top Male Radio Artist, Top Radio Single, and Top Pop Radio Single. Justin was super successful during the night – the result? He won 3 of the 4 nominations; Top Radio Artist, Top Male Radio Artist, and Top Pop Radio Single. The latter being won for “Memphis”, which was his first Award for the single. Justin thanked them for the polite comments, and after returned to the seats and was ready for his closing performance.

TOO GOOD TO LOSE + FEVER PERFORMANCE: Following that, Justin performed 'Too Good to Lose' for the closing of the CRMA's. Justin's choreography team returned, and they did choreography to the performance of the hit single, but this time to the upbeat dance-like Zedd Remix, his first and only performance of the single to that remix. Justin started out saying, "I'll be performing a new version tonight -- just to show my love and how much I thank you guys. Canada is always my true home!" Then with the microphone, he started singing 'Too Good to Lose'. The performance was moreso simple, just with him on stage singing and doing the normal choreography he's done for previous performances. Justin finished off the performance of 'Too Good to Lose' with a kiss on a fan's cheek and a rose being thrown to him on stage. Justin then got applause ofcourse, and the Award Show wrapped. The performance then transitioned to 'Fever', where with a guitar in his arms and walking down the stage he sung while plucking the guitar on key. Justin's album cover for 'The Collection & More' was shown on the screen on the stage, while he performed 'Fever' with the cameras shining dow in his face. Justin also did a quick interview with RCMA, stating 'I'm thankful for the recognition. This is really basically my first time performing at a Canadian Award Show, it's been such a fun week. The after party was also really fun, and I had a nice chill time. It's so calm and nice here, I'm sad to be leaving tomorrow!'.
