I referred to this song in my position paper - similarly to "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera, this is meant to inspire people to accept who they are and express their inn beauty. It's a really beautiful song and I just thought I would share it if you haven't heard it already.

In this article, Joshua Clover discusses Taylor Swift's latest album 'Red'.

I just found this amusing. The body swap between Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus is particularly funny as you could say they are known for being the complete opposite in where they stand.

I found this interesting how Miley Cyrus managed to win the title of the worst celebrity influence in both 2009 and 10, yet in comparison to now, (in my opinion) she was probably a better influence then than what she is now. Though that is another interesting aspect oft his link. Considering the publicity stunts Cyrus has pull so far this year, will she win that title again for 2013? Or will it be the complete opposite? I feel that she deserves the title, but it's likely that she won't get it. Her sudden surge in popularity might actually take her off the 'worst celebrity influence' list completely.

Celebrity***

Worst*** oh dear, my spelling is just... Appalling today.

Similarly to Carolyn Gerig, I also find it irritating when people say they don't like Taylor Swift because she 'dates too many guys'. People tend to base this off the fact that a majority of her MOST POPULAR songs are break up songs and the fact that her relationships are all the media can seem to talk about. In this article, Gearig explains how people who have this view on her need to get their facts straight before making their judgement on her. If you don't like her style of music or you don't think she's a good singer, then by all means have it your way. But if your reasons for not liking her are due to her relationship habits, then you need to read this and have a rethink.

This is a BBC article about Robin Thicke's 'Blurred Lines' being featured in the Beats Pill Speakers advert and how it has been ruled as "too sexual".

This is a link to a film documentary that was released in 2010 which was aired due to the success of Taylor Swift's first world tour 'Fearless'. The film is based around Taylor herself and how she came to be where she is today, and why she it's he way she is today. The world knows her either as a talented, down to earth country star or as a clingy, possibly even "slutty" celebrity with a long trail of boyfriends behind her. Similarly to Katy Perry: Part of Me, this film shows both the highlights and lowlights of being Taylor Swift both now and before anyone knew her name.

'Miley Cyrus Vogue Cover Won't Twerk for Anna Wintour' Because of her atrocious display at the VMAS, The Editor-in-Chief of Vogue. Anna Wintour has decided to cut Miley's chance to appear on the cover of the most prestigious fashion magazine. This article explains more and how this once in a life time opportunity could have helped her career escalate, instead, it might just help ruin it.

It was something we touched on a few classes ago about Miley Cyrus being the centre of attention in the VMAs controversy yet Robin Thicke managed to slice through without much criticism. In this article it is suggested that sexism and discrimination are really the only reason anyone is still talking about Miley's raunchy performance at the VMAs last month.

6 days before the release of her new album 'Bangerz', MTV are running a 60 minute documentary on Miley Cyrus. As well as documenting her life off-stage, MTV is also hoping to discover the reason behind MIley's sudden image transformation and her thoughts behind her more recent series of controversial actions.

Taylor Swift is renowned for her numerous short term relationships that lead to chart topping songs. Though in this interview she insists that she doesn't want be (isn't) the stereotypical girl who had a long chain of never ending boyfriends. In reality she of course contradicts herself by continuing to live up to this reputation of numerous boyfriends that she has made for herself.
