I’m so glad you made time to see me. Taylor Swift on Bliss and Speak Now on vinyl.

Seems these days the Fearless One hasn’t been sleeping. The countdown to Taylor time stands at T minus 10 days and every Swiftie in the world is counting the time to the Speak Now release. Keeping herself busy, Taylor posed for a new photoshoot and then sat down for an interview with Bliss magazine from the UK. Before UK Swifties  get a heart attack she was not in the UK, the interview took place in her home in Tennessee where she apparently discussed her friendship with Selena Gomez, beating Cory Montieth at bowling and some insight into her Speak Now album.

We really wish she would get some sleep so we could take a break. Everyone here at the Swift Agency hasn’t slept a wink, and by everyone I mean me. Tay, please take a hint from your friend Liz and have a nap now and then so I can catch my breath?

Anyway, let’s go to the photoshoot video! 🙂

The November edition of Bliss magazine with Taylor Swift on the cover is out now (in the UK). Hopefully we can get a version here in Canada or any of our friends down in the US.

And believe it or not, the Sparkly Dressed is having her third studio album, Speak Now, released on vinyl (those are those big huge circular discs your Dad keeps in the attic). Swifties have heard her post how she likes to get vinyl records and even went on a little record hunting expedition documented in the next Entertainment Weekly.

The double LP (that’s long play, ok forget it) will be released November 16.

“The vinyl is really important to me,” Taylor tells EW, “because I’m so in love with the concept of an album — a collection of memories from your life that you’re giving to people. It’s a piece of you. Buying them on vinyl is just taking that one step further and acknowledging that albums are important.”

“There’s something so fascinating about the cover art — every single one of those was a decision by somebody and people put a lot of time and effort into it,” she says. “With my albums, I have a lot of fun with the art direction and a lot of what I do is trying to visually express what the song says. You take the lyrics and you see what picture it paints and you try to do a photo set up that looks like it… We’re incorporating the same art in the vinyl album as we do in the CD, but it’s done in a different format. It’s really put forth in its own way.”
