Like most small businesses that have had to shut down or alter their operations during the coronavirus pandemic, record stores have been forced to completely change the way they operate. Over the past two weeks, Nashville retailer Grimey’s New & Preloved Music, for example, has had to send its employees home after the city’s mayor issued a stay-at-home order. This week, though, they got a life preserver from Taylor Swift, who is supplying the store with money for each employee and three months’ worth of health care. A source close to the situation confirmed the news to Rolling Stone. “We were very surprised, and I would have to say amazed, that Taylor Swift reached out to us through her publicist to offer some relief during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Grimey’s co-owner Doyle Davis tells Rolling Stone. “I didn’t even know we were on her radar, but she really stepped up to help after the recent tornadoes that struck Nashville and middle Tennessee, and now she’s trying to help a beloved small business in her city. “Taylor generously offered some direct relief to my staff and to cover three months of our health care costs for our group-insurance plan,” he continues. “It’s a huge deal to us, and now I have some peace of mind as we apply for [Small Business Administration] loans to pay rent, vendors, and other expenses. This assistance from Ms. Swift helps give us a real shot at coming back on the other side of this.”

Niall Horan joined Zane Lowe via FaceTime on Apple Music on Wednesday (April 8) to discuss a variety of topics and a number of his famous friends.
He shouted out Taylor Swift in particular, noting that she's "just one of the greatest songwriters of her generation."
"I sometimes will sit here and I'll play some chords and then I'll go, 'What would Taylor do right now?'" he continued. "I actually said it to Taylor. It was her birthday and I sent her an email and I was like, 'There's very few artists around now that you could say that, when you're sitting writing a song, you're like, 'What chord would Taylor choose now? Would she go minor? Would she stay it a bit straighter?'' Taylor Swift is one of those and she deserves everything she gets."
"The most successful of all time have been no beating around the bush with the lyric," Horan added. "It's been Paul Simon, it's been Tom Petty, Stevie Nicks, Don Henley, Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift. It's just poetic, it's storytelling, it's straight down the middle stuff and just, yeah, you can literally just see the picture being painted in front of you, which is something to behold and something I'm sometimes jealous of."

http://instagram.com/p/BxV1jzjhBZr Lovato and Swift’s rumored beef dates back to — you guessed it — a guy. Swift dated Joe Jonas in 2008, and he went on to date his Camp Rock co-star, Lovato, in 2010. So with all that distance, why would they dislike one another? Some believe that Lovato was interested in Jonas long before they were official. These days, there’s another man between Lovato and Swift. Lovato signed with Scooter Braun in May 2019, just shortly before news broke that he and Swift were feuding over the rights to her master recordings. Lovato stood up for Braun during that time, but later went on to praise Swift’s album Lover.

Taylor Swift is giving fans a peek into her laid-back lifestyle during the coronavirus pandemic. The superstar singer, who appears in People's current "Beautiful" issue, told the magazine that self-quarantine has allowed her some quality downtime at home. "I love spending a full evening cooking a meal while sipping a glass of wine and listening to old music," Swift told People. In early April, the 30-year-old pop star acted as a DJ for SiriusXM's Hits 1 n chill show, where she revealed to fans that much of her time these days is spent at home reading, cooking, and watching old movies. "But mostly I’ve been online trying to figure out how to help others, and just constantly in awe of our first responders and our emergency workers and our healthcare professionals who are putting themselves in danger every single day that they go to work," she said. Swift is also making sure to stay in touch with her celebrity friends, including Gigi Hadid. The model took to social media on Thursday (April 23) to thank Swift for sending her flowers for her 25th birthday.

She's normally always on the go - from writing pop tracks to acting and constant touring. But quarantine has forced Taylor Swift to slow down - with the 30-year-old finding time to watch classic movies and cook from scratch 'I love spending a full evening cooking a meal while sipping a glass of wine and listening to old music,' she told People magazine. Taylor Swift has had a momentous few years and it's all documented in the her Netflix film Miss Americana, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival back in January. For the occasion, Taylor made sure to keep it chic in a matching plaid ensemble from the brand Carmen March. The pieces were taken from Autumn/Winter '19 collection, but it was the wide leg trousers that particularly caught our attention! Taylor must know that plaid is always a great choice if you want to opt for prints, plus we're loving that Mateo jewellery.
