Hello Taylor Nation!
The Outspoken One may be turning an unexpected leaf… but don’t be sure she’s ready for a change of image or a radical shift in her career. She’s going to try some new directions on her collaborations that she’s not tried before.
“I think my goal for the next couple of years would be to make departures in little ways and do things a little differently,” the Sparkly Dressed told the Associated Press, “and try to maintain a balance between always providing your fans with what they’ve always liked from you and continuing to write all my own songs, but I’d love to make collaborations in different directions that aren’t exactly expected.”
Here at the Swift Agency, one guy who’s spending New Year’s at the beach, we know this doesn’t mean all of Taylor’s songs are going to have the folk sound of Safe And Sound which has a strong influence from The Civil Wars. It just means that with each collaboration, the Queen of Sparks is experimenting further. The cool thing is going to be what to expect for the fourth album of the Blonde With The Sparkly Guitar on the collaborations front.
This might be my last entry this year, so I want to take the chance to wish you and all your loved ones a happy and Sparkly New Year’s 🙂 See you in 2012!
Coming up in the Calendar!

What’s funny is I saw this story on another site and their article said pretty much the same thing as this one but the headline said Taylor is making big changes. What’s with that? She isn’t going to make big changes. I think she should work with other people and show what she really can do. All that will do is prove the haters and non-believers wrong. Taylor will just add to her fan base.
Speaking of adding fans, last weekend Taylor hit 10 million followers on Twitter and not even a week later she’s already added more than 100,000 more followers. She’s 9th on the list of most followers and three people in front of her have around 11 million followers. If she keeps gaining this amount of new followers she can easily move into 6th place.
