Taylor Swift earned six American Music Awards nominations Tuesday, and if she wins everything she's up for, the singer will become the most-honored female artist in the show's history. Ed Sheeran and the Weeknd had five nominations each, trying to win their first awards. Sam Hunt, Nicki Minaj, Sam Smith, Meghan Trainor and Walk the Moon had three nominations each.  She's won 16 American Music Awards. Whitney Houston's 21 awards are the most ever among female artists in the show, which was launched in 1974. Michael Jackson's 24 awards are the most of any artist. Nominations, announced Tuesday, are based on a metric that includes sales, airplay and social activity tracked by Billboard magazine and its partners. Winners are determined by fan votes on the show's website or through Facebook and Twitter.  |

 In the November issue of GQ, the pop sensation discussed her current relationship with West, female childhood bullies and why she's content with being alone. In a year of superstardom so historic that it has numerically surpassed even Michael Jackson, the 25-year-old is setting the record straight on her record-breaking career—again.  When it comes to attacks on her female posse, Swift simply reflects on a time when girls were not in her corner. "I honestly think my lack of female friendships in high school and middle school is why my female friendships are so important now," she told GQ. "Because I always wanted them. It was just hard for me to have friends." T.Swift admitted to making careful, well orchestrated career decisions, but she's not moving people around as if they were chess pieces. "You can be accidentally successful for three or four years. Accidents happen, but careers take hard work," Swift said. It is that self-awareness that has allowed the young star to build on her early success as a country star. "It's less about reputation management and strategy and vanity than it is about trying desperately to preserve self-awareness, since that seems to be the first thing to go out the door when people find success," she said.  By 2013, Swift had already endured her fair share of controversy four years earlier when West publicly humiliated her at the VMAs, claiming she should not have one Best Female Music Video. Today, Swift can confidently say the moment lead to one of the favorite things about her career. "That was the most happenstance thing to ever happen in my career and to now be in a place where Kanye and I respect each other—that's one of my favorite things that has happened in my career," Swift said.  |

“Perfect” basically tells the story of a guy who wasn’t looking for anything serious in a relationship, but rather, wanted to just have some fun every once in a while — and Taylor alludes to this in many of her own songs. In “I Knew You Were Trouble,” she sings, “He was long gone when he met me,” which is a direct comparison to 1D’s above lyrics about a guy not wanting to make promises from the very beginning.  A lot of songs on 1989 reference coming back to a specific relationship time and time again. “Style”: “When we go crashing down, we come back every time.” “I Wish You Would”: “We’re a crooked love in a straight line down, makes you want to run and hide but it made you turn right back around” and “This mad, mad love makes you come running.” “This Love”: “This love is alive back from the dead, these hands had to let it go free, and this love came back to me” and “When you’re young, you just run, but you come back to what you need.” Oh, and we can’t forget in “Out Of The Woods,” when she sings, “We were built to fall apart, then fall back together.” HELLO!  Taylor and Harry were HOUNDED by cameras and the media when they were together, and a lot of Taylor’s lyrics were about this, too. “I Know Places” is literally ABOUT that exact topics, with some specific lines including, “See the vultures circling dark clouds,” “They’ll be chasing their tails trying to track us down,” and “Lights flash and we’ll run for the fences.” Her bonus track, “Wonderland,” also includes the lyrics, “Flashing lights and we, took a wrong turn and we fell down a rabbit hole.” |

Taylor Swift was bakin' it off just a little too hard. The singer showed off the results of a kitchen knife injury on Instagram, Saturday. In the photo, Swift's thumb is wrapped tight in a white bandage, with her signature "13" written in black ink. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old's deep red manicure remained in tact on her other fingers.  "Band-Aids don't fix kitchen knife-related injuries," Swift wrote, making a play on the lyrics to her mega-hit, "Bad Blood." |

Taylor Swift released 1989 one year ago, and if you thought you had finally gotten over all those heartbreaking tracks, think again. Swift debuted an acoustic piano version of “Out Of The Woods” on Tuesday, partially celebrating the album’s one-year anniversary but also as part of her Grammy Museum exhibit.  She performed the track in the Clive Davis Theater on Sept. 30, and in the clip she says, “I’m going to play you a song that I wrote about a relationship that I was in that the number one feeling I felt in the relationship was anxiety because it felt very fragile. It felt very tentative.”  |
