Living the rock n’ roll life, Taylor Nation.
Happy Birthday to the Agency’s Paul Sidoti! The quintessential 80′s bandsman, Paul is also a founder of the band Tequila Sunrise, once called by Rolling Stones magazine as the best Eagles cover band.
He is originally from Cleveland, Ohio. At the age of five he started playing guitar. Along the way, he taught himself keyboards, bass and drums. He also took lessons on saxophone through junior high and high school and started singing and playing in his own rock bands at the age of 14. Before playing with Taylor Swift, Paul has also shared the stage with Eric Carmen, The Raspberries, Bryan White and many others. As we also know from Taylor’s blogs, Paul is a huge fan of KISS.
You can learn more about Paul at his own website, paulsidoti.net. He also has his own Agency Profile: Paul Sidoti right here.

Just stay that little, Taylor Nation.
Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who took pictures in his mind of his childhood room, we’re going to start with a shoutout for the first time ever. My friend, regular video collaborator, and Taylor Talk host Steve Ditch got Club Red last night, May 11, at the RED Tour concert in Washington, DC. Congratulations, dude!
Sometimes, finding a review on the last concert takes a while. That’s when I get creative. You can find a reference in the most unexpected of places. In this case, it’s a hockey site devoted to the Washington Capitals, russianmachineneverbreaks.com, reporting that the Enchantress actually send a shoutout to the local hockey team for being in the playoffs.
“You ask yourself why is there so much red? Well one reason is because the Capitals are in the playoffs,” said the Princess in Red, according to @Mic_Nas89. You can read the story at russianmachineneverbreaks.com.
The classic song at the B Stage was Never Grow Up.

They’re koala bears, Grant 
Here at the Swift Agency, still a guy who can be as geographically challenge as any other, we like to read up on the places I visit. If you remember the quote from above, that’s from the first time The Agency went down under. Just google it.
The Sparkly Dressed took the time for some fun interviews with Dom from New Zealand’s The Edge FM and Byron Cooke from Australia’s Fifi and Jules show. You can listen to Dom talking to T-Swizzle on The Edge FM‘s official site.
The Enchantress will be taking her RED Tour to New Zealand on November 29 and to Australia for the first of three stadium shows starting December 4. The first tickets go on sale May 21.
Here’s some clips of Taylor with Fifi and Jules‘ Byron Cooke. This is the Enchantress talking about her love for Hanson.
Here’s another one about cats. There’s mention of Jules’ cat named Harry and of course, Meredith.
Anybody else thought that Byron was setting her up with all that sending a message to Harry (the cat) deal? Sharp as she is Swift, Tay dodges it altogether.
And here’s the mention on how it’s the first time in 25 years that a woman headlines stadium shows since Madonna.
Yes, that is an impressive stat!

She’s got one hand on the guitar and the other on your heart, Taylor Nation.
Here at the Swift Agency, just a guy who’s heard every album and listen to the radio, we’re taking a little creative license with the lyrics. I know the lyrics to Our Song well enough. Yes, the Sparkly Dressed once again brought out Our Song as the wildcard song of the night at the B Stage in Columbus, Ohio yesterday, May 8.
Big shoutout to @AGuySwiftie for his pic from the concert at Nationwide Arena. That’s a great shot.
Also a huge shoutout to @TSwiftOnTour for their continuous coverage of The RED Tour!
On other news, a promo for FOX Networks‘ sitcom New Girl has surfaced including a brief glimpse of Taylor’s appearance. Take a look!
Here’s the surprise song Our Song in Columbus, Ohio.
