TAYLOR TEASES SERENITY VIDEO
It seems like the guy Swift was walking back to her hotel room with was actually her love interest for the Serenity music video. The video for Swift's lead single off her upcoming album had it's last day of shooting today and it seems as if the video is being edited at a pretty fast pace as Taylor uploaded a thirty second teaser of the video to her YouTube through her Vevo. Swift and her love interest are walking down a Paris street before they stop in front of a beautiful building with a large brown window. Swift is seeing singing the lyrics as her on screen boyfriend are seen smiling at each other. He seems persistent to get her took look in his eyes, finally getting her to once he presses her forehead against hers. Swift looks into his eyes, shots of her gorgeous blue eyes and one of his too before she blinks and he starts yelling at her, a white flash happening on sync when she did blink. She begins crying before she blinks again and he leans in to kiss her. The video fades to black and transition with the text says 'Serenity, coming soon.'
TAYLOR DATING AGAIN
With the handsome actor she filmed her Serenity music video with, Taylor was seen again getting snuggly with the actor on their way back from the last day of the video shoot. Swift and her rumored to be boyfriend were being a bit camera shy, giggling and hiding their faces as they hurried to Swift's hotel in the center of Paris. Sources have already said the pair have had quite the chemistry together and a guest at the hotel Swift was staying at said that they even shared a kiss before going their separate ways. Is this official confirmation that Taylor is officially back on the dating scene? More spottings and appearances will come as Swift will host her much anticipated live chat tomorrow.
TAYLOR PERFORMS ON POPSTARS FRANCE
Swift's last performance in France was on Popstars France. Announced as the special performer on last week's episode, the viewership for the episode of Swift's performance saw a 45% increase from last week, boosting it up to 7.2 million viewers. Swift performed behind a black grand piano to give a dark yet heart aching ballad performance of the single off her new album, Serenity. Swift played the piano like a pro and her singing was exceptional, even impressive as she was consistently on key and pitch throughout the whole song. The audience seemed impressed too as they didn't hesitate to give America's Sweetheart a standing ovation.
TAYLOR COVERS MARIE CLAIRE UK
This month's cover girl for Marie Claire UK is none other than Taylor Swift. With an exclusive interview about the star, she talks about being in love, falling out of love, and even better her upcoming album! You can read the interview and see some shots from Taylor Swift's Marie Claire issue below.
On love and heartbreak:
What advice can you give girls about love? And you know how to deal with break ups. We're guessing writing songs is sort of your method. So what can you tell us about your experiences with love and heartbreak.
Love is a blunt and ruthless game. You have to play it just right if you want it to last. You can either throw yourself into a relationship and fall so hard for someone who is just interested you temporarily and you come out hurt and damaged. It's happened to me more than once. Then there's the possibility where you actually are at fault or you come out that relationship regretful and just angry you didn't realize what you had until it's gone. I've had those. Almost everyone has. But the smartest advice I would say is just to take the time to see what you want. And make sure what you want is something that's actually good for you. For heartbreak just let time take it's affect. It may seem like hell waiting for the hurt to subside but it will. And you'll feel so much better after it does. Just vent it all out into a song or any method you use as catharsis.
On her music
You said growth was big part of the new music you were going to put out? How on this album did you think you matured?
You know I've always been very personal and blunt when it came to my music. I was never afraid to put all of me into a song or an album. But on some of the songs on Speak Now and Red I had to revise because some of the songs were just too personal. There's a song on the album that was actually meant to be on Fearless that's pretty personal and it made the cut for this album. I didn't hold back on this record. It's as personal as it gets. The lyrics are better, the melodies are stronger, this album I feel is the record that will define my career.
Speaking about previous records, if you had to pick a favorite song from each of your previous records, which would you choose?
From the first album I would choose Cold As You, from Fearless, White Horse. Speak Now is pretty tough to choose from but I'll definitely go with Dear John. For Red, the no brainer. All Too Well.
Last part of the interview. Define your new record in three exact words.
Oh how many adjectives could describe this broad album. I'll give it a try I guess. Ready? Here we go. Intimate. Haunting. And Cryptic.
Swift's issue of Marie Claire UK will be on sale tomorrow.
TAYLOR ARRIVES IN NYC.
Taylor Swift has officially landed in New York City at John F Kennedy airport from Paris France. Mobbed by fans in the airport, a polite Swift signed as many autographs and took as many photos as she could for her die hard fans before she finally pushed by her bodyguards to leave the airport in a black SUV. Swift will be attending Leona Lewis' album release promo tomorrow as well as hosting a webchat that she promised will have big news and exciting things in possession.

C ÉLINE DION: MONDAY 9/16 PROMO
Céline Dion Confirms Album Producing/Writing Collaborations In SPIN Magazine
Céline Dion earned her second magazine feature this week when she took to SPIN to spill more tea on the new album! The track listing for '#TurntUp' has been revealed, but we don't exactly know MANY of the Producers/Writers for this album. But looks like Cêline helped out with that!
"I have some amazing people working on this album with me […] Pharrell wrote and produced for me, Georgie Skai obviously has a huge role, Paul Oakenfold has done some Dance as well as Krewella, along with Mike Will Made-It and Miley Cyrus […] I never got to meet Miley yet but I have met Krewella, they're so f*cking badass I just love them and they actually produced my song "Don't Stoppe." [….] Miley worked with me on "Twerque" and "#TurntUp" […] She was actually really cool with me having an album and title track called "#TurntUp" considering she has a song on her album called "Turnt Up." […] I also did plenty of other stuff with plenty of other people which sounds amazing! Excited for it all!"
Céline Dion WORKS & SHOCKS In Paris Fashion Week
Céline Dion took to the runway in Paris Fashion Week. Considering she's had a runway-ready, high-class theme for her French performances of "Ratchette" - it was no surprise that the committee asked her to star in their little showcase!
*Céline started off walking on the runway modeling Mugler. She worked as a new electronic mix of 'Ratchette' began to play. She struck the poses, astonishing spectators with her edge and confidence. The singer looked completely impeccable as she strutted to the back of the stage. Then, a huge EDM mix came on, slowly dissolving and becoming Urban in minutes. Céline's dancers then strut on the runway, hyping up her grand performance. The lights blatantly flickered, with several colors targeting several parts of the runway. A huge Urban drumroll blared through the speakers. And out came Cêline… IN A BIKINI! She strutted with the black bikini on, begin to sing the hit single "Ratchette" as her dancers struck poses. Céline posed provocatively, sticking her tongue out and grinding up solo on the runway. She went in HARD on choreography, managing to keep her tight bikini on tight and making spectators GASP. When Barbara Streisand's part played over playback, Céline stuck the middle finger up and began to TWERK down the runway. Her vocals were spot-on, her dancing was in-sync with her crew and her runway presence was killer. She spun around several times, going back to the orgasms and moans from her UK performances. Towards the end, a dancer put a white hoodie on her with some gold chains and she began taking it streeter-style. Céline gave LIFE on stage, with some firework gunshot noises striking the audience. Cêlne threw her microphone away and strutted down the runway once more, taking off her hoodie and throwing it into the crowd. She struck poses in the bikini, playing with her hair and swaying her body sensually. She then stuck the finger up and walked back into backstage. The crowd applauded her performance, while some were too stunned to respond*

Tegan and Sara guest host Rage
While in Australia last week, Tegan and Sara recorded a special feature for music channel Rage, where they presented their favorite music videos. They spent an hour hosting the show, and afterwards the station played all Tegan and Sara videos in chronological order. Both shows were broadcast today.
Tegan and Sara: Hi everyone, we're Tegan and Sara and we're gonna show you our favorite music videos for the next hour!
Tegan: For the first video, I chose The Mother We Share by CHVRCHES. They are a really cool band, I think they're pretty new because I only discovered them recently and their album isn't even out yet. But I heard this song somewhere and I just couldn't forget about it, it's so haunting and catchy and I really love her voice.
Sara: Do you think this song might possibly kind of relate to us? “The mother we share”? We share a mother too..
Tegan: Oh wow, I never even thought about that. But yeah, I guess.. let me pay close attention to the lyrics while we play this.
Sara: My first video is Island In The Sun by Weezer. It just feels so soothing and relaxing to me, it's like a three minute vacation when I watch this video. I get all peaceful when I see all these cute little animals.
Tegan: It's a nice video, but I would like it more if they had a giraffe in it. Without giraffes, it's kinda lame.
Sara: You and your obsession with giraffes. The video is just fine without them.
Tegan: Next up is Everlong by Foo Fighters. This video is crazy, it's kinda like a nightmare meets acid trip.. I don't even know. But it goes with the song really well, and the song itself is already amazing, so the video automatically is, too.
Sara: Dave Grohl is a legend.
Tegan: He really is. I think it's incredible that he was in Nirvana and now, 20 years later, he has built a career that's completely separate from that. I have so much respect for him.
Sara: Now we come to New Kids On The Block. This is the first band, or well, group, Tegan and I really really loved. We were literally obsessed with them when we were younger, we had all their merch and their concert was our first concert ever. I couldn't sleep for a whole week before because I was so excited, and then I couldn't sleep for a whole week afterwards either because I couldn't believe we saw them and it had been the best experience of my life up to that point.
Tegan: I remember we used to have those NKOTB sleeping bags.
Sara: They were the **** back then. Anyway, I picked this video so that we could be nostalgic about our childhood and the 90s so I hope you enjoy it.
Tegan: The next one is an epic video and song that everyone knows. It's Whenever, Wherever by Shakira. I mean, that song just hit like a bomb when it was released, and the video did the rest. I wish I could dance like Shakira, her hips are insane.
Sara: They don't lie.
Tegan: Yup, they definitely don't. I always thought it was kinda funny how she could slay a whole video with just her dancing, I mean the production of the video is really not that outstanding, but it was still enough. There have been lots of artists trying to have a hit video and spent millions of dollars and failed, but Shakira didn't even have to invest much. Legend.
Sara: So now we have Phil Collins, with In The Air Tonight. When I was eight, I was really into Phil Collins, like, I didn't just like him, I actually wanted to be him.
Tegan: *cracks up*
Sara: *laughs* It's true! I was a bit confused, I guess. But this song has stuck with me because it's just so amazing, that beat is simple but so effective. I wish I could write a song like this one day. Or you know what, we should cover this. That'd be really cool.
Tegan: Maybe. Why not. I really like this song too. Enjoy!
Tegan: My next choice is Metric. They're a fellow Canadian band and they're really cool people. We actually toured with them once and it was a blast. The song is called Gold, Guns, Girls and I have to admit I've never seen this video but I love the song, so I'm sure it's gonna be good.
Sara: This is my favorite song from that album. Good choice.
Tegan: Thanks.
Sara: We're back to the pop world and this video is from my favorite of all pop girls.
Tegan: Rihanna.
Sara: Well thanks, I was gonna built up suspense but now you ruined it.
Tegan: Suspense? Everyone knows you have a crush on Rihanna! You talk about her all the time.
Sara: Ch, I don't! Now let me finish my introduction to this video.
Tegan: You mean your love letter to her.
Sara: Just shut it! This is my favorite Rihanna video, even though it got a lot of criticism and there was controversy, but I think it is beautifully and tastefully done, and it has an important message that people shouldn't just dismiss so easily. It's not exactly what I would have imagined for the video to this song, but I think it is an interesting concept and it makes you think. Here is Diamonds.
Tegan: This is my last choice, and I decided to go with Barbra Streisand by Duck Sauce. This song is so random, I don't even know, but we heard it on the bus one night and then we sort of became addicted to it. It was like a running gag. I vaguely remember the video and I think it's kinda funny, too, that's why I chose it.
Sara: My last video is Kendrick Lamar with Swimming Pools. I immediately fell in love with this track, and the whole album is really good actually. A lot of people don't know that I'm into hip hop and rap, they just assume I listen to, I don't know, feel good pop music all the time. And I do listen to a lot of pop, but I also love me some good hip hop once in a while and Kendrick definitely fits that category.
Tegan and Sara: So this was us taking over Fuse, we hope you liked the videos we played, we definitely had a great time showing them to you, and make sure to stay tuned now for an epic special of all Tegan and Sara videos, Fuse is really gonna play them back to back, starting with out newest one, Heart Waster! Thanks for having us, Fuse, and see y'all soon! Bye!

Heart Waster covered by Glee
Last week, Tegan and Sara announced that their single Heart Waster would be covered by Glee, and today the episode was finally broadcast. It features the song in the crucial scene of the episode, providing the soundtrack for a character being rejected by their love interest and realized he 'wasted' his heart on them.
They interpreted the song in a quirky way, turning it into a mid-tempo song that still contained upbeat elements and the famous synths hook. After the show, the song saw a significant rise on iTunes, and Twitter was also buzzing with commentary about it.
Tegan and Sara stressed again how honored they felt to have their music on the show for a second time, and stated that they loved the version and arrangement the Glee cast had performed.

Tegan and Christina on TV Total
For their last promo appointment in Germany, the duo visited talk show TV Total today, chatting with host Stefan Raab as well as performing their duet live in the studio.
Stefan: Okay, now we come to my guests, they are two singers and they have recorded a song together which they will also perform for us later! But first we are going to talk a little bit, everyone, Christina Aguilera and Tegan!
*the show's band plays an instrumental jazz version of Chairs & Tables as intro*
*Christina and Tegan appear on top of the stairs and walk down to the host, waving*
Stefan: Hello ladies!
*greets them and kisses them both on the cheek*
*T&C sit down*
Stefan: Welcome to the show, make yourselves comfortable!
Tegan: Thank you! It feels great to be here, thanks.
Christina: Hello Stefan . I am excited to be here!
Stefan: You both sound very excited, I like that. Have you been enjoying your time in Germany so far?
Tegan: Yes we have, everyone's been really nice! Especially backstage here, they gave us really amazing food. I don't know what it's called, something German, but it tasted amazing.
Christina: You are making me hungry. Gimme, gimme more
Stefan: You want more? We'll give you more!
*audience laughs*
Stefan: If there's anything left from the catering, we'll have it brought down here, you can have it!
Tegan: Seriously? This is like the best show ever!
Christina: I miss the days when I was fat so much
Stefan: Seriously? I think that's the first time I've ever heard a woman say that.
*audience laughs*
Stefan: But don't worry, we'll get you some food.
*turns to Tegan*
Stefan: So, Tegan.. you're Tegan, right?
Tegan: (laughs) Yes, that's me.
Stefan: Good. You know, I'm glad your sister isn't here because I just can not tell you apart.
Tegan: Yeah, well, that's exactly the reason why I left her at home. Everyone's always mixing us up and I was just like, we can't go on like this, it has to stop. (laughs)
Stefan: (laughs) Very smart. But really, you look so much alike, I mean you're twins! Can you help me out here, Christina? How do you tell them apart?
Christina: Well one of them has a piercing that is how I make the difference
Stefan: Oh so you have a piercing, where is it?
Tegan: Here.
*points at it*
Stefan: Ah okay I see it now. So Sara doesn't have a piercing?
Tegan: Nope. At least not that I know of..
*audience screams*
Tegan: Oh dear, no. That came out wrong. That's not what I meant! No, she doesn't have a piercing.
Stefan: (laughs) I see. So you've been here in Europe all week, is that right?
Christina: Yas we've been. The Fighters here are amazing. And I also got a big booty again even though the food sucked in Sweden. Look how amazing I look
Stefan: Big booty, huh? That reminds me of something. I heard the two of you went to a strip club yesterday?
Tegan: I guess we did. (laughs)
Stefan: You guess? What does that mean? You don't remember?
Tegan: Oh no, of course I do. How could I forget something like that
Stefan: (laughs) Is that something you do a lot? I think it's quite rare that women go to strip clubs. At least over here, maybe it's different in America.
Christina: I am an iconic pitchy stripper > Miley Cyrus . I love to be drunk and sexy
Tegan: I wouldn't exactly say it's a hobby or anything.
*everyone laughs*
Tegan: It happens once in a blue moon, maybe. If it's the right mood and all. And yesterday we just wanted to celebrate, so..
Stefan: Celebrate? What was the occasion?
Tegan: My birthday. (laughs) I mean, technically it's today, but we sort of decided to start celebrating early and bring it in, like, you know, you do with New Year's and stuff.
Stefan: It really is your birthday today? I had no idea! That deserves a round of applause!
*audience claps*
Christina: Stefan do not pull a Georgie Flopskai and please read Wikipedia. Happy Birthday Tegan again though
Tegan: Thanks, girl!
*Tegan hugs Xtina*
Stefan: I was actually gonna read up on you on Wikipedia, but then I found that article about the strip club and got distracted. (laughs)
Tegan: Can't blame you for that, I guess. It must have been fascinating.
Stefan: It was. But you still haven't told me, did you have a great time at least? Did you enjoy the show there?
Christina: The strippers were really good . We loved the show. Twerk It Out
Tegan: Yeah. Who wouldn't enjoy looking at beautiful women?
*audience whistles and cheers*
Stefan: True, true. You know, I would have loved to talk to you some more about strippers but we are running out of time, so we'll have to say goodbye so you can get ready for your performance. Thanks for stopping by, oh and, Christina, I was just told we have some more dessert backstage, I hope you enjoy!
Christina: You know I really wanna huh, wanna taste your
Stefan: (laughs) Christina Aguilera and Tegan, everyone! They're gonna be back after the commercial break with a performance.
Tegan: (hugs Stefan) Thanks for having us, bye everyone! (waves)
Christina: (kisses Stefan on the cheek) Bye!
The girls left to get ready backstage and returned with their performance after a short commercial break.
+++
Singing their song Chairs & Tables, the stage was filled with a lot of candles as a lot of their past performances. They walked through the candles until they met each other. They left the stage on different sides acting like they don't want to meet each other. In the end they came back and hugged each other. The two girls were looking magical and the whole performance seemed very artistic.

Sara Quin slammed by underground LGBT organization,
responds with letter
Sara Quin has been criticized by an organization which calls itself “LGBT Fighters” and claims to fight for acceptance and equality for the LGBT community. In an open letter posted on their website, they called her out for her “treacherous ways” in promoting her latest single, a duet with singer Carlos Pena.
Sara and Carlos have been performing the song together this week and caused quite some controversy over their romantically charged interaction on stage, confusing many people as to what the status of their relationship is with each other. Sara has made it clear in interviews that she is in a happy relationship with her girlfriend, but for some reason, people are still speculating whether there could be more than just friendship between her and Carlos.
Now, the LGBT Fighters have attacked Sara for exactly that kind of amorous behavior she has been showing towards a man as a gay woman. “By performing a love song with a man, Sara is denying her sexuality, she is pretending to be someone she is not. That is the wrong message for everyone who is part of the LGBT community”, they wrote. “We can't help but feel like Sara has been exploiting the LGBT community all these years, supporting them and using them to polish her image, and now she's kicking us to the curb and throwing herself at a man because we weren't enough for her anymore.”
The letter goes on, threatening to organize a boycott for Tegan and Sara if Sara doesn't stop performing her song with Carlos.
We reached out to Tegan and Sara's management, who told us they had never heard of that organization or their letter to Sara before. They said that they didn't consider it dangerous for Sara in any way and that she would speak up for herself if she felt the need to do so – and she did.
A couple of hours later, she replied with an open letter on teganandsara.com.
“Apparently there has been some confusion over my recent project with Carlos Pena”, she wrote. “I met him at the VMAs and we got along well, he ended up showing me this song and we just messed around with the idea of a duet and we ended up liking it so much that we made it happen. The song is a love song, it's a duet between two lovers, and we were fully aware of that when we recorded it. We never thought it would cause such controversy, though.
Yes, I am a gay woman and I have been open about this for many years. I am an active supporter of the LGBT community and gay rights. I have been in a relationship for almost three years and I couldn't be happier. What I fail to see is what all of this has to do with the song Carlos and I released.
It is a love song, and for that type of song you need to put on a certain kind of performance. There needs to be emotion, there needs to be interaction between the artists or else there is no sense in performing it because it will not look authentic. It's like an actor playing a role, they also need to find the most authentic way to portray their character, and that's exactly what Carlos and I are doing in context of the song.
I am not leading him on, as some have claimed, because he is very well aware of my sexuality and it is not a problem for him. He is a great friend and we comfortable with each other, so I do not see anything that speaks against us performing together. The fact that I actually have to justify myself for doing so makes me upset and disappointed. The bottom line is, there have been tons of duets in music history where the artists involved were not actually dating, we are not the first to do it nor will we be the last, so let's just focus on what's important here – the music.
Carlos and I have put so much into this track, it means a lot to us and all we want is for people to connect with it and relate to it. Our personal lives don't have anything to do with that. We love this song and we enjoy performing it, and if you happen to come across our performance and don't like it, feel free to switch it off. But please don't try to tell me what I can or can't, should or shouldn't do because of my sexuality. Thank you.
skq”
Many fans spoke out in favor of Sara after reading the letter, voicing their support of the song and the way it was being performed by the duo. Several musicians and celebrities also took Sara's side, including Karen O (from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs), M.I.A. and Perez Hilton.

AUB: Our next single is literally the riskiest, most provocative choice that there is. I wanted it to become the lead single originally, but we took a vote and "Blackout" won so we released that first.
H: Can you give us any new hints on this lead single?
S: The new single is deep, emotional but very loud and angry at the same time. It definitely fits well with our album title, so it's a perfect fit!
AUN: I agree, I feel like this song will be the real showstopper this album along with another song which "defines" the album, which we will also perform at the iTunes Festival.
H: Congratulations on the single going Gold, must be a huge accomplishment!
D: Thank you!
AUB: It really is an accomplishment for us. We're just about where we want to be with "Blackout" and we're hoping things can only look up from here and really start taking off!
H: So far, you girls have charted at #8, then #10. Why do you think you haven't been able to have a huge successor with "Blackout?"
S: For us, sales are not the most important thing.
AUN: 100% agree, we're about making music that our fans who have stayed loyal to us enjoy it. Success is a great bonus, and of course we're striving for it - but the music is where it's really at, you know?
H: We've been playing "Blackout" non-stop over here on KIIS FM, we really love the single!
DK: Thank you so much!
H: You're welcome! And speaking of "Blackout" - it's the Most Requested Song of the morning, so let's spin it!
DK: Yay!
*Blackout is played*
H: That was Danity Kane's new single "Blackout" and we have them in the studio right here today. We're back on girls!
DK: Hey America!
H: While the song played, I just heard that we have over 25.000 people tuned in on Radios and around 105.000 people streaming this online!
D: Damn, that's a lot of people…
H: So congratulations on the Diddy Court Case! It's not over yet, but over the weekend it looks like you girls have made a huge advancement in the case.
S: Yes, we definitely did!
AUN: We're so happy!
H: Well in case our listeners haven't heard, Danity Kane's charges for working with old producers on their previous records has been officially DROPPED!
DK: Yay!
H: So with that said, your next court date is coming up soon later this week.
AUB: Yes, we're ready to completely take the reigns on this case and completely get him what he deserves!
H: Alright, well good luck with that ladies. Thank you so much for being here with us today, it's been a pleasure having you in California for a bit!
DK: Thanks!
H: Danity Kane's new single "Blackout" is out now on iTunes and they will be performing at the iTunes Festival on September 28th. Bye ladies!

Danity Kane Arrive Back In New York
After spending some days in California, the four women have headed back to New York City to extend their late-night appearances and promote their new single "Blackout." They landed in JFK Airport, where they recently performed for their charity, the National American Red Cross. Fans waited outside and greeted them with such delight! The girls took selfies on phones, signed autographs and hugged some fans as they were escorted to their limo. They are set to perform tonight on David Letterman and tomorrow morning they will be premiering their new music video on Good Morning America.
David Letterman Appearance
David: Tonight's group has been one of the most successful girl groups of all-time, with two Platinum albums and two Top Ten singles. After four years, they have recently come back to music and they have released their new single "Blackout." Here to perform it for us, Danity Kane!
*The lights went out as Danity Kane began to speak an introduction. "You know, I get a bit out of control," Aubrey started off. "Sometimes, I just wanna… I just wanna… I just wanna blackout." The instrumental was near getting played, and the spotlights shown on them individually. The camera flashed to each woman, all of them wearing white and different colored shoes. They each had straightened hair, with dynamic lipsticks on. The girls began to sing a piano intro of Blackout, which then kicked into the Pop-Dance production that had been hyped up. The lights flashed on and the girls took their microphones off of their stands, began to get into form. They began to perform choreography and ad-lib as each girl stepped up for their feature. During the chorus, they blared and executed their choreography very well! The crowd was enjoying the performance, and David was caught bopping just a tiny bit to the tunes! The girls smiled and seduced the camera, acting completely edgy and confident. They ended their performance with a CLICK of the lights off and a BANG from the production*
David: That was fantastic girls! The new single "Blackout" is out right now, so be sure to download a copy of that! Good night everyone!
Critics raved the performance, saying "Danity Kane is officially back!" and "Danity Kane is serving, working, and slaying the late-night scene once again." Over 2.2M people watched the performance live, while 900K views hit the YouTube video after being posted for six hours. Get 'em sisters!

Example performs on The Voice of Poland
Example performed on The Voice of Poland earlier today, singing his hit Grammy-nominated "Forget About Never". The performance started off with the stage dimly lit, and him pacing around the stage, presuming to be thinking, when the song starts. The Nero-produced song shined through, fitting perfectly into Example's vocal range as he was on pitch throughout the entire song. At the end of the performance, he brought all the members of his team to do a final bow to close the night on The Voice.
Example chats on Ha-Olam Ha'Boker [Israel]
Example recently showed up in Israel promoting his new album, due tomorrow. He answered fan questions, and impressed with his skills speaking Hebrew. The interview is provided in English, but you can watch the original interview with English subtitles here.
Host: Hello, and welcome Example to our fabulous morning show! I heard that this was your first time in Israel, is that correct?
Example: It is in fact correct. I am so excited to be here, your country is beautiful!
Host: Well, I love your music and know a lot about you, but I bet your fans on Twitter would be much better at asking questions.
Example: Great! Let's get started!
Host: @icecreamluv asked, "Who are you collaborating with on your new album. Thanks if you answer, xoxoxo"
Example: I have collaborations lined up with John Newman, Hardwell, Daft Punk, Alpines, and Dan Smith of Bastille! I hope you guys are as excited as I am!
Host: Thanks Example. Next question from @Rockstones152, "Who is your guilty pleasure musically?"
Example: *smirks* Good question. I would have to say Lady Gaga, I love her music and I respect her as a musician also.
Host: Final question. @hannahbryer asked, "Will you marry me?" *laughs*
Example: I'll think about it *laughs*
Host: Thanks Example for coming in to our studio today. His new single Forget About Never is out now and his album is coming out TOMORROW! Next up... Is YouTube a viable employment option?...
