I LOVE Taylor’s style – and her hair is always amazing. you can recreate her updo styles on http://hairupdostyles.com where they give you step by step instructions on how to create celebrity red carpet looks!
thnx, hair updo lover. 🙂
Ooh, I love the dress. Teal-ish blue is one of my favorite colors. And the Zac Brown Band is a country band. It made me laugh when you wrote “Who?”
Chris: Seriously never heard of them!!
Taylor looks gorgeous, as always. I saw that she might be dating some cute guy from that show Glee instead of icky John Mayer. Thank goodness! I was afraid homegirl had fallen into that whole “dating pseudo bad boys who are really just manicured, afraid of butterflies douchebags” that so many of us fall victim to in early adulthood.
Kate: I googled your info… posting about this now!
I LOVE Taylor Swift. She’s gorgeous, but her “bangs” need some work. Its sort of that bucket-y weird shape that just sits on the side of her forehead. I know they’re not technically bangs, but her stylist needs to work that situation out a little better.
Jamie: I see what you mean. A clearer pic of it is in this shot:

It doesn’t bug me that much, but maybe if that piece of hair was layered a bit more it would help?
I’ve only heard Taylor sing once and I’m not into her music, but that aside, she is absolutely stunning in this dress. The colour is fantastic on her and I love how it seems to change her eyecolour! I like how she’s not afraid to play up her height with heels a long, long dress.
