Country singer Taylor is happy that she came out in the open and cleared the air regarding her split with
Jonas Brothers singer Joe Jonas. The incident made quite a few headlines last year when teen singer Joe Jonas broken teenager Taylor Swift’s heart by ending their romance.

Joe Jonas famously rang Taylor Swift up and announced their split in a 25 second phone call which prompted to write the hit song Forever and Always wherein she describes her heartache.

Speaking to Seventeen magazine the brunette singer says, “Writing songs about people is the only way I know how to do things. I mean, I can’t wish I hadn’t written a song about someone, because if I hadn’t, that song wouldn’t exist. I just don’t find any joy in writing about things I haven’t been through. Right now, my favorite thing to write about is love. And break-ups. And boys. And feelings.”

It took that freaking fella 25 secs, I didn’t know it took that long. I’ve dumped plenty of chicks, and, it sure as all hell didn’t take 25-seconds.

Who knew that Taylor Swift and Demi Lovato were friends? And who knew that either teenager happened to be a hockey fan? The country singing sweetheart and the young actress was spotted last Monday at the LA Kings vs Tampa Bay Lightning game in Los Angeles. I wonder if they talked about the Jonas Brothers. We all know how Taylor is still bitter over Joe and that Demi acted with them. Not to mention that Demi’s best friend Selena Gomez happens to be dating Nick. There’s no way that no gossiping occurred during their little get together. They wouldn’t be teenagers otherwise.

The American Music Awards were recently on and saw former lovers Joe Jonas and Taylor Swift keep it cool when asked if they were weirded out by each others presence at the ceremony. Joe said that it was all good while Taylor just gushed about being there saying “I’m so excited to be here, I’m so excited the album went number one… to be here and to be nominated and performing. This is going to be a fun night.” There’s nothing for the country crooning sweetheart to worry about anyway. The best revenge was served when she outsold her ex’s album.

Nick Jonas’ girlfriend Selena Gomez recently sat down with OK! Magazine where she talked about the issue of ex boyfriends. She said “I get so mad about ex-boyfriends, but if a boy hurts me, I don’t write a song about it. They don’t deserve it!” Is that a dig at Joe Jonas’ ex girlfriend Taylor Swift? It sure looks like it to me. And here I thought they were pretty close considering they were always spotted together when Joe and Taylor were still on. Maybe Taylor has burned more bridges instead of just the ones leading to the Jonas Brothers.

Amidst allegations that he cheated on her and dumped her via a very short phone call, Joe Jonas is speaking out for the first time about his relationship with Taylor Swift. On the Jonas Brothers’ official blog, Joe posted his side of the story. The brothers first said that they don’t usually talk about their personal lives but that they will make the exception since they thought that they needed to address it because it affects the fans. It then switches to a personal message from Joe saying “I never cheated on a girlfriend. It might make someone feel better to assume or imply I have been unfaithful but it is simply not true. Maybe there were reasons for a breakup. Maybe the heart moved on. Perhaps feelings changed. I am truly saddened that anything would potentially cause you to think less of me.” Joe also proves to be the gentleman without even mentioning Taylor’s name.

Taylor Swift was on an Ellen DeGeneres Show episode that aired on November 11 where she confirmed that Joe Jonas broke up with her over the phone in a record 27-second call back in October. Ellen responded to the revelation by saying “He broke up with you on the phone? That’s not right.” Taylor then responds with “It’s all right – I’m cool. You know what, it’s like, when I find that person that is right for me, he’ll be wonderful. When I look at that person, I’m not even going to remember the boy who broke up with me over the phone in 27 seconds when I was 18.”

Country’s teen singing sensation Taylor Swift shows just how much of a fighter she is in the new issue of Billboard. She’s talking about her music though and not her break up from Joe Jonas. She said “Being on a little record label, you have to fight harder than being on a bigger record label to be on award shows, to be a performer and a presenter and to get big tours and support. My record label [Big Machine Records] had 12 employees when I put out my album and my single and I just kept looking around and thinking, ‘Some day we are going to grow and this is going to change and we are going to have a fighting chance.’”

Country singing sensation Taylor Swift helps MySpace CEO and Co-founder Chris DeWolfe Kick off the launch of MySpace Music at NBC’s Today Show. The pair discussed the joint venture between music labels and MySpace Music which hosts new features for both users and artists including audio and video content, mp3-purchase possibilities and user and artist playlists as well as provide monetization opportunities for its active music community. In other Taylor Swift news, the 18-year old country sweetheart has also been announced as one of the performers for this year’s CMA Awards which will air live from Nashville, Tennessee on November 12.

Tokio Hotel sure know how to make an entrance. The band turned heads left and right when they rolled up to the VMA red carpet in style this past weekend on a decked out monster truck blasting their single “Monsoon.” After admitting that they didn’t expect to take home a moon man, Tokio Hotel were shocked when Chace Crawford and Lauren Conrad announced their name as the winner of Best New Artist beating out the likes of Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift and Katy Perry. Check out this week’s Episode of Tokio Hotel TV for a behind the scenes look at the band’s VMA experience including their reaction to the win backstage and star studded photos from the night.

Tokio Hotel TV Episode 46:

Teen country music sensation Taylor Swift has released a new music video for her song ‘Love Story’ which is the first official single off of her sophomore studio effort ‘Fearless’. Here’s the chorus to the song so you can sing along if you hear it or see the video: “Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone/I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run/You be the prince and I’ll be the princess/It’s a love story, baby, just say yes.” By the way, the guy in the video is ‘Nashville Star’ contestant Justin Gaston. If his name sounds familiar to you, he’s the guy who’s been recently linked to Miley Cyrus.
