Taylor Swift live at the MMVAs
(first major performance of Psycho)
Taylor Swift took to the stage tonight to perform her latest single 'Psycho' at the MMVA (Much Music Video Awards)tonight where Swift won three awards for her previous singles such as Swarovski (which won two) and Loving The Wrong Way which also took home an award. Broadcasting her performance from a stage in New York City, no one seemed to notice as it was edited well into the middle of the show.
The performance started off with a video montage that first appeared on the screens. The setting that was displayed was a very empty Las Vegas hotel with a door to a room left open. The camera panned towards the room and once it was in the room it showed Taylor looking upon her lover (played by Ellis Partridge) in bed with another woman (unknown). Swift is seen looking devastated as she looks upon in horror before she picks up a lamp on the desk and throws it at the two who are trying to get out of bed. Taylor runs to her her lover and pushes him to the ground in tears, throwing punches that would later cause much controversy and then dropped to her knees in tears. Time froze and then time started reversing as the event that just happened began to undo itself to the point where Taylor was walking to the door. The stage went black and that marked the beginning of the performance.
A few neon lights shined brightly down onto the stage a few times before a figure was visible sitting in a chair. The lights flashed a few more times as the figure moved dazed and out of their minds in the chair as if they weren't sane. A few more flashes ocurred on sync with the beat until all turned white and Taylor was shown in the seat, her hair straigtened but a little messy and dressed in all white sitting on a white chair. She was tied to the chair as if she were in a mental hospital.
Having no handheld mic, Swift sang into a mic that was planted on her outfit that was designed by Atelier Versace. She sang perfectly on pitch as lights flashed on and off with the beats. When ever flashed back on, Swift would gasp to give the performance theatrics. The lights flash backed on and dancers dressed in all white crawled from the bottom of the stage and moved towards Swift. They seemed to devour Swift as she continued singing until she gasped and the dancers moved to reveal Swift free from the chair and with her pants now turned into shorts, showing off her knee high boots that were designed by Jimmy Choo.
Paige's verse hit and she made her way around the stage exchanging glances with the audience that convinced them that Swift was actually well psycho. The chorus hit and she did gestures on sync with the beat. The bridge then hit and the dancers pulled on her again, pulling her back to the chair as she resisted with rage. A scream filled the stage as they took her back to the chair where she shook her head in fear. They cirlcled her a few times before they lifted her into the air on the chair. Swift then sang the final part of the song in the air before the lights flashed again and it was no longer there. It marked the end of the performance as Swift ended the song with the bridge.

Miley Cyrus Guest Stars on 2 Broke Girls
Miley Cyrus is the guest star on last night's episode of 2 Broke Girls. Cyrus played a lesbian who has a crush on Caroline Channing. Miley has talked about how much she loves the show and that it's a dream-come-true for her to guest star on it. Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs, who play Max Black and Caroline Channings respectively, also voiced out their excitement to have the FU should-have-been-a-hitmaker on the show. "I love Miley!" Kat Denning said, "she's so much fun to be around! She even showed me her ****!" Beth Behrs, on the other hand, was a bit hesitant, "I wasn't ready to twerk! Hahaha! But really she was amazing! I've been wanting to meet her for the longest time. I think she has everybody curious." Behrs, of course, was referring to the scene where she, Miley and Kat twerk to Booty Fruity.
Watch out for reruns of the episode.

TAYLOR SWIFT WITH FUSE TV
Taylor Swift appeared on FUSE TV tonight for an exclusive interview and performance in promotion of her latest release 'Psycho' which features blond singer/actress and Taylor's best friend, Paige Elliot. The song was released to iTunes two nights ago and immediately topped iTunes markets in over over 100+ countries, matching the record the two set with their previous collaboration Swarovski which also broke the record for most weeks spent at the number one spot.
In the interview Swift discussed working with Paige on "Psycho", what the song basically is about, and what happened that made the song a single. Questions were also asked about Swift's upcoming record tthat is expected to drop at anytime sources report. Questions about labelmate Eric Saade's highly anticipated album were also asked and Swift was happy to share as much information regarding her friend and labelmate's album that she could.
I understand you and Miss Paige Elliot have been friends for quite some time now and are probably use to working with each other. Tell us some of the process that goes behind you two going in the studio and working on a song?
Usually it's just her and I who go in. We kind of prefer that isolation for awhile. You see with other artists they are known usually to have their producers do everything for them or you know they buy writing credits. Paige and I are kind of the opposite, we like to have input on every single thing. If we don't like this synth we get rid of it. We write the draft of the song, go back with some writers and fix it. That's kind of how we work, I've always worked that way and so has Paige. That's why I think we work so well together. We have the same work ethic almost.
Was there any difference in creating Swarovski than Psycho?
It certainly took longer. Swarovski of course had been written for months before we recorded it. There were demos of the song recorded by like three other artists before I decided to keep it for myself. The only part that actually was time consuming with Swarovski was polishing everything. From the lyrics to the production we really perfected Swarovski. The final stages were what took so long. "Psycho" is different. It was first way more challenging to accomplish because it's out of both Paige and I's comfort range. We wanted to produce the melodies, we wanted the perfect lyrics, I swear we wrote like two versions of the song. Basically Psycho was just a song that had to be perfected too and it finally felt perfect after I think about a month of being mixed and mastered.
Can you speak anything or share anything about your labelmate and friend Eric Saade's upcoming record? We've been waiting forever!
I actually texted Eric this morning and I saw him in the studio about three days ago. I can say that when I last saw him he was in the studio mastering, which is what usually takes place when the album is finished or nearing the end. I've heard most of the tracks from his album and I can say that it's definitely his best piece of work and that people will be really surprised with the sound he took. He's really kept this record under wraps and really put his all into it. Everyone at Tigerlily Recordings have faith in the album and in him. As do I.
Swift then performed Psycho acoustically.

Miranda Cosgrove Joins Elvis Duran on the Z100 Morning Show
Miranda Cosgrove joined Elvis Duran this morning on Z100's Morning Show to debut her new single, Queazy. Before playing the song, Elvis and Miranda had an interview session to catch the public up to speed on all things Miranda.
Elvis: So Miranda, I think I ought to start out by asking you where you've been for the past few years?
Miranda: I've been keeping myself really busy, actually! After iCarly ended, I enrolled in college and majored in acting. While doing that, I worked on both Despicable Me movies, which was a ton of fun. On top of that, I've been in and out of the studio working on this album. I've decided that now is the right time to release it... I'm adding the finishing touches to it now, so why not release the single for my fans to enjoy while I finish it?
Elvis: Wow, how awesome for your fans! Now why don't we talk about the single you're gonna have us play. It's called Queazy, and it's featuring Drake. Tell us, Miranda, what inspired this song? And which Drake are you featuring - Drake Bell, or Drake the rapper?
Miranda: So the whole college scene was a huge inspiration for this album. I've grown up a lot, so this album, and Queazy particularly, will reflect on this. It's a lot different from my previous work, which is really exciting. It was produced by Timbaland, and I wrote it with him and Drake. The sound is very pop, with urban and Arabic influences. It's going to surprise everyone! Hahaha, it would be awesome if the song was with Drake Bell, but it's actually with the rapper! He was so awesome to work with, I'm a huge fan of his, and I was so surprised when he actually agreed to do the song with me.
Elvis: Very cool! I think we've made everyone wait long enough, am I right? Sooooo, without further ado, I'm going to let Miranda do the honors!
Miranda: To everybody listening right now, this is a Z100 exclusive. I'm Miranda Cosgrove, and I'm about to play my new song Queazy featuring Drake for the first time. I hope you guys enjoy!
Producer: Timbaland
Writers: Timbaland, Miranda Cosgrove, Aubrey 'Drake' Graham
Duration: 3:11

TAYLOR SWIFT ON CONAN
Taylor Swift was live tonight on Conan where she was a guest and performer. Her interview with Conan was funny yet also very professional as both Swift and Conan both made sure to get across points they both wanted to make during the interview. Topics during the interview included Taylor's new album, her brand new single "Psycho", who's an inspiration for her revamped performances, and even relationships. Swift then performed an acoustic version of "Psycho", sounding great but a bit quiet as the volume of Swift's mic was set a little too low.
You have a brand new single out that doesn't describe you at all, right?
Everyone in America thinks I'm a bit psycho, don't they? I'm psycho over boys they said a few months ago. But in all seriousness I'm sane but I think everyone is just a little crazy, you know?
Trust me I know. Talking about Psycho tell us what the song is about, enlighten us TSwift
The song is about a really well uh a really ****ed up relationship. Me and Paige actually wrote the song while watching an old film noir film that kind of intrigued us both. I didn't think anything of it but I remember I asked Paige "What if we could continue on to the plot?". She went home and she came back about thirty minutes later with a melody already in her head. We wrote it and bam. The song sort of came unexpected but it's basically sort of a playoff of a film. It's not written off a personal experience but I'm sure everyone in their mind can use their imagination and try to relate.
You have a new album coming out which we know nothing about because you won't ****ing tell us. So tell us something?
It's an album but it's sort of different than a regular album. I can't say anymore about that but I can say that it's a bit more experimental than any other record of mine has been. I explored so many different genres while in Paris. There are so many great unknown producers there and I had the change to work with some amazing ones who I think helped me write some of the best songs of my career. Some for the new album and some for the one after.
You've already started work on the next record after this one?
I'm always writing and recordings. I kind of thought everyone knew this. But yeah I'm recording, I've recorded about 13 songs already for my record after this one.
You've definitely stepped up your performances. Who's your main inspiration behind them?
You know I'm inspired by so many people. But if there's anyone who kind of made me want to step it up it'd have to be Namie Amuro. She's such a talented performance and she gets up there on stage with so much grace and confidence. She leaves it all up on stage, she gives it her all. I admire that about her and she just encourages me to go up there and just give the people the best show you can.
Are you single, Taylor?
You really want to know? I'm not.

Gwen Stefani Radio Interview + Hula Hoop Radio Release
Gwen Stefani visited Ryan Seacrest today for the radio release of her new single, Hula Hoop, which features Miley Cyrus and Pharrell Williams. Before playing the song for the first time, Gwen sat down to talk a bit with Ryan.
Ryan: Tell us about this new song, Hula Hoop.
Gwen: Hula Hoop is a perfect fun summer song. It's perfect for the beach, it's perfect for nightouts, it's perfect for a simple backyard barbecue, it's just perfect for whatever thing you wanna do this summer!
Ryan: How was it like working with Pharrell again? Are you working on more tracks with him for this album?
Gwen: It is always a joy working with Pharrell. He's actually here with me! Pharrell, come on out!
Pharrell: Hey, Ryan! How do you like our new song?
Ryan: It's fantastic! I think it will be another song of the summer for you! Damn, man! You're the king of summer songs! I mean, Blurred Lines and Get Lucky!
Pharrell: Thanks, man! I'm humbled, seriously.
Ryan: So... are you working on more tracks with Gwen?
Pharrell: We're working on quite a few more. Of course, we're still not sure whether Gwen decides to put them in her album.
Gwen: Oh you know they will. But, at the same time, I'm working with new producers and some of them are legendary.
Ryan: We sure can't wait, Gwen! How was it like working with Miley for the first time? I know Pharrell has worked with her a couple times but how was it like for you?
Gwen: She's amazing! She's so much fun to be around! You know she has a new album out and it's amazing!
Ryan: Yes it is, Gwen, yes it is. Miley is once again the center of controversy. How does this affect you and your image? Are you worried people will think you have the same attitude as her?
Gwen: What? Miley is an amazing person! She's always pushing the boundaries and I don't think that's a bad thing. If people want to associate me with a revolutionary then fine! I am honoured.
Ryan: alright, then. It's time to play your new single. This is Hula Hoop by Gwen Stefani featuring Miley and Pharrell Williams
*presses play*
Hula Hoop ha also been sent to other radio stations.

Namie Amuro Premiers New Single On America's Got Talent
Serves Us Bipolar Dominatrix Realness
This Tuesday night Elusive Japanese Chanteuses Namie Amuro FINALLY made her comeback debut on national television during America's Got Talent after months away from the public eye! Namie took the stage to give what seemed to be one of her most energetic and fun to watch performances yet! Dressed in a Dominatrix meets sailor meets captain outfit made of latrix Namie did more than just own the stage while performing her comeback single Sweet Kisses. Below is the description of Amuro's flawless performance
After having a quick reel shown, show casing all of Namie's achievements and career stand outs her performance began. The stage was set with an array of vibrant colors with a sunny day background in place as we hear birds chirping in the distance. Suddenly an array of Cheerleaders ascend from below the stage as a marching band come out from both sides of the stage as they begin playing a little routine. The cheerleaders begin performing to the music being extremely preppy and happy as the began spelling out Namie's first name while doing formations and then moving onto her last name before cheering out one big happy "NAMIE AMUROOOOO". They all gather around the front of the stage mouths wide open smiling while shaking their pom poms as sparklers shoot out behind them. THEN The stage goes dark as Smoke starts gushing out in front of the cheerleaders faces and the screens begin acting up as if broken and we begin hearing electricity fill the place. The screens flash on as the stage starts blinking black and white, next thing we know Namie turns around on the stage starring the audience dead in their face as she causes them to up roar in cheers. She puts on a smirk while dressed in a black and white lieutenant latex outfit before going "Yall Ready For This Sugar Rush? *giggles*" Sweet Kisses begins playing starting out with an infectious clapping pattern as the stage starts flashing pink and white as smoke fills the air and the cheerleaders start getting chased off stage by men appearing in sailor outfits coming from all directions! "America's Got Talent LEMME HEAR YOU SCREAM." Namie shouts as she raises up from under the stage at the top of a platform full of stairs as pink glitter shoots from behind her. She begins singing the post-chorus "Sweet kisses love em on my lips..." acting all preppy with 2 dancers behind doing all sorts of 60's moves while smiling so hard at the crowd and begin 100% extra. She poses at the end and the first verse hits and Namie changes moods completely as her smiles goes quick to a poker face as she begins marching down the stairs stopping the male dancers that come up the stairs after her making them sit or kneel or freeze in place giving them all side eyes. She reaches the stage and extends her arm out asking for one of her dancers to hand her a kinky whip before pushing him away which leads to others surrounding her. The chorus comes in and namie belches "GET READY FOR MEEE" as all her dancers acrobat away from her as she starts strutting forward while grabbing any dancer in her way and singing bits to the song to them before giving them a command or pushing them. When she reaches the front Namie goes into a Rhythm Nation-ish choreography while singing of course as her dancers follow her lead. The Post chorus comes in and glitter fills the air as Namie changes back to her preppy personality while dancing as 2 female dancers appear from under her dancing as well. She grabs out to audience as the 2nd verse comes on and quickly faces her back to them and goes back to serious Namie. She goes after one male dancer as her 2 girls grab hold of him and start frisking him as she begins singing right in his face before playfully slapping his face with the whip. She twirls away to a line up of her dancers and begins walking by them as her whip brushes on them as she inspects them one by one. Pre-Chorus hits again as the boys go running to surrounding namie as she lets out a high note before the chorus kicks in. The stage starts blasting puffs of smoke of different tones blues and pink as the boys go flying everywhere while Namie and her girls casually strut around doing a little dance and here. The Post-Chorus comes again and this time The cheerleaders comeback out all sexed up as the beginning joining in on Preppy Namie's dance with colorful blast still going on, on stage. The Bridge hits and a the stage goes dark as a single spotlight shines on Namie as she slowy walks backwards to the stairs while singing to whoever she passes by looking emotional and distress as if nervous, she reaches the stairs and stops to chant the end of the bridge before yelling out "Forgot about your misses" and lets out a huge laugh as the stage flares up with neon lights and everyone starts dancing like a flash mob as Namie freely skips up the stairs singing the bridge with high notes. The Post chorus plays one last time as Namie stands on top of the platform of the stairs chanting away pointing out at the crowd, waving and pretending to speak to them. Namie raises both ehr hands up when the song ends as fireworks shoot out from behind her and she descends below the stage. The screens light up again showing Namie's face as she goes "Was that sweet enough for ya? *giggle*" and blows a Kiss to the audience with a wink."
