We’re known for using Tay’s lyrics to title our entries, but we’re still letting Speak Now sink in. Taylor was on New York City for a busy schedule of live appearances, interviews and a few performances. The Outspoken One set up an impromptu performance in the middle of Central Park complete with a piano and a backing orchestra. A few fortunate Swifties were on hand to catch her performance and had the chance to get a couple of snapshots.

Update! Check out video of Taylor on Central Park. Non-embeddable, I’m afraid so you’ll have to go there.
The Forever and Always Fearless One has been spotted with actor Jake Gyllenhaal during the weekend. They attended Saturday Night Live together to watch Emma Stone as the hostess. Whether or not sparks fly with the actor, we can’t really say for sure.
Hey that would have been a good question for her brief Q&A this evening, wouldn’t it?
The Outspoken One was giving another brief concert in the evening which was streamed live through the internet by MTV Networks’ websites and Ustream. The event consisted on Katie Cook interviewing fans as Taylor was engaged on meeting and greeting the fans. There were fans of all ages. All advanced ages, mostly. Also at least two JetBlue employees won the contest in which they get to fly with Taylor on a chartered flight from JetBlue. Insert your own comment here.
Shortly before the performance, Katie Cook hosted a brief fan Q&A. We need to come up with better questions, Taylor Nation… Enough with asking about her favorite number. Anyways, I might be guilty of the same thing – what do you ask the Outspoken One these days that has not been asked (or more importantly answered) already?
