Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal: How Did It End?

He was older and he hated the attention.

Those were the reasons cited by sources for Jake Gyllenhaal's decision to split with Taylor Swift after a few weeks of dating.

But the latest issue of Us Weekly claims to have all the real scoop on the break-up, highlighted by this supposed fact: Jake dumped Taylor Swift over the phone!

If true, this would mark the second time Swift has received sad news in such a manner. Joe Jonas (in)famously broke her heart with a 27-second call a couple years ago.

  Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal: How Did It End?

How is Taylor Swift taking the split? Not well.

At last week's People's Choice Awards, a friend says the singer “was not her usual bubbly self. She didn’t eat anything, seemed very sad and definitely wasn’t having a good time."

At one point, Taylor Swift found Selena Gomez and reportedly and said to her: ‘It’s so good to see you. I need a friend tonight.’”

Happy 21st Birthday Taylor Swift!

Happy 21st Birthday Taylor Swift!

Wow, what a year 2010 has been for Taylor Swift! In addition to being named EW’s Entertainer of the Year, as well as having landed Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Swift is celebrating her 21st birthday today! The singer told Us Weekly that;

“I want a Christmas-themed birthday, because I love Christmas as much as my birthday,”
“Combining the two just seems like the perfect festivity.”

And like most people when they hit that magic age of 21, Taylor is looking forward to the benefits that come with finally being of legal age!

“It’ll be cool to get into the 21-and-over places my friends go to,”

I have a hard time believing that there were many places that Taylor Swift couldn’t get into, but at least now she’ll be going there legally! The singer also tweeted yesterday that her friends;

” Tonight @caitlinbird and @elizabethhuett knocked on my door- they brought a pizza with a lit 21 candle on it and bday hats. ,”

Wow, I can’t believe that Taylor Swift is only 21! She has accomplished so much! Happy Birthday Taylor Swift!

Taylor Swift Is EW’s Youngest Entertainer Of The Year!

 Taylor Swift Is EW’s Youngest Entertainer Of The Year!

We already told you that Taylor Swift was named Entertainment Weekly’s Entertainer of the Year, but now we have some excerpts from her interview with the mag.

Swift clinched the coveted title after having a year that began with a No. 2 single debut, a hit movie, 4 Grammy awards and culminated with her release of Speak Now. Speak Now sold over one million copies in the first week alone, and Swift wrote all 14 songs on the cd! Wow, it’s kind of hard to argue with her title of Entertainer of the Year when you look at those stats!


Here’s what Taylor had to say about her new record and her new love!

Entertainment Weekly: Before Speak Now was released, were you nervous about it selling?
Taylor Swift: It was an emotional roller coaster leading up to releasing that record. I tend to live somewhere between hope and fear. I’ve never wavered so much in my life than I did in the weeks leading up to the record release.

EW: So how did you find out about the number?

Swift: I got a call, and it was a bunch of people from management and my mom and my dad on the phone. I remember Scott Borchetta, my record-label president, saying, “Congratulations. I guess you’re my million-dollar baby.” I made him say it, like, four times because I couldn’t actually believe it. First I was screaming, and then I was really silent, and then I was really emotional, and then I was dancing. I still can’t wrap my mind around it.

EW: And now people are saying you’ve saved the music business.

Swift: I write music about my life and love and relationships, and I hope that people like it enough to bring it into their world and make it about their life and their love and their relationships. That’s where I have to draw the line as far as what I am and what I am not.

EW: You caught some flak this year for some of your performances, particularly your duet with Stevie Nicks at the Grammys. Did that bother you?

Swift: Words are everything to me. Words can build me up and make me feel so good. And on the flip side, words can absolutely demolish me. I am nowhere close to being bulletproof when it comes to criticism. Feeling everything is part of being a songwriter. If I block out those feelings of pain and rejection, then I don’t know what I would write about. I’d rather feel pain when I read something terrible about me than feel nothing.

EW: Okay, moving on: Have you seen any good movies lately?

Swift: Um, yes! [Laughs] What have I seen lately? None that are out yet.

EW: How about Love & Other Drugs, starring Jake Gyllenhaal?

Swift: [Smiles] It’s a good movie.
I wonder if Jake Gyllenhaal is worried about Taylor writing a song about him?

Taylor Swift Named ‘Entertainer Of The Year’

 

 Taylor Swift Named ‘Entertainer Of The Year’

Taylor Swift has been named Entertainer of the Year. Isn’t that an under-statement! The country singer is actually the YOUNGEST star to ever be honored by ‘Entertainment Weekly’. A few weeks ago, she was named ‘Style Star’ by Seventeen Magazine. Wonder how many covers she will snag before the end of the year???

During her ‘Entertainment Weekly’ interview, Taylor Swift admitted she can’t believe what’s made up about her in the press.

“Sometimes I would laugh because I would see it in print and it would say, ‘This song, which is written about her ex, so-and-so…’ And they would write about it as if it was fact. “The fact is, I haven’t ever confirmed that any song is about any particular person. There’s something kind of freeing about that. As far as I’m concerned, it’s all still up in the air.”

Taylor also spoke about why she decided to perform her song ‘Innocent’ – which is about Kanye West– at the MTV Video Music Awards:

“I had decided that I didn’t want to perform on the show. Or even go. Then I woke up in the middle of the night and I realized that I had to, and that I wanted to perform that song.”

What do you think about Taylor winning ‘Entertainer of the Year’ from ‘Entertainment Weekly? Does she deserve it? If not, who should have claimed the title.

Taylor Swift becomes beautiful CoverGirl

Multi-platinum singer-songwriter Taylor Swift can now add COVERGIRL to her list of accomplishments. The 20-year-old, GRAMMY award-winning star has just finished shooting her first advertisements for the beauty giant, and will represent a new line of luxury products for the brand. The ads are scheduled to debut in January 2011.

With millions of fans worldwide, Swift has achieved remarkable success since first entering the country music scene in 2006. To date she has sold more than thirteen million albums and is the top-selling digital artist in music history. Her second album, Fearless, has spent more weeks in the top spot on Billboard’s all-genre Top 20 chart than any other album this decade. The GRAMMY Awards, the Country Music Association, the Academy of Country Music, and the American Music Awards all named Fearless the 2009 Country Album of the Year and, this year, the album won the all-genre GRAMMY Award for Album of the year. Last year, Swift earned the American Music Award for Artist of the Year and was the youngest artist ever to win the prestigious CMA Award for Entertainer of the Year.

“With her fresh beauty and authentic style, Taylor is a wonderful addition to the COVERGIRL family,” said Vince Hudson, General Manager, COVERGIRL Cosmetics. “Through all her success, Taylor remains a grounded and sincere woman who connects with fans everywhere just by being true to who she is. She personifies the iconic image of the brand while representing the next generation of both inner and outer beauty.”

“I am so excited to become the next COVERGIRL,” said Swift. “I have admired many of the COVERGIRLs since I was a little girl . . . great artists and actresses who are confident and still themselves. It’s like a dream come true to be a part of the future of COVERGIRL.”
