"This Sick Beat" has been trademarked?

I guess we can't use the quote "This Sick Beat" any more right?

Wrong! Taylor knows that her fans/swifties are always going use her song lyrics to inspire them and help them through thick and thin and she would never stop us from doing so. On the contrary, Taylor has trademarked a bunch of lyrics to stop other people from publishing her lyrics on everything from coffee cups to pillowcases to wall displays and everything inbetween.

The following quotes have been trademarked by Taylor,

• "This Sick Beat"
• "Nice to meet you, where you been?"
• "Party like it's 1989"
• "Cause we never go out of Style"

While nothing is set in stone yet by the United States Patent and Trademark Office, It has been released that Taylor and her management have applied to have the above phrases and any others not yet known of officially trademarked.

The reasons behind Taylor's initiative to trademark this phrases is still unknown and may never be known, but what we do know is that Taylor is the reigning queen of pop music and the music industry in general right now so in the long run this could prove to be one very successful move for Taylor. 

More information about Taylor's trademark move can be found HERE.

I guess we will soon see if Taylor does become successful in her move for trademarking and I will update if and when we find out for certain about then.

What do you think of the idea?

Taylor Swift Hacked?

As we all should know by now Taylor was hacked on her Twitter and then Instagram accounts on Tuesday 27th January just 3 short months since Taylor released her smash hit pop album 1989.

At approx 11:15am Nashville time, where Taylor was presumed to be at the time of the hacking, 2 very random tweets appeared on Taylor's twitter account and those tweets quickly spread after millions of followers across the world have the tweets beamed straight to their phones.

The tweets which read something along the lines of "go follow @this person" and " Follow @this person, to get a follow back" quickly drew attention from fans across the world, celebrities including Paramore singer Hayley Williams and the worlds media.

Twitter HQ was quickly on the case to remove the tweets and lock down the account until the problem is solved as quoted by Taylor on Tumblr "Twitter is deleting the hacker tweets and locking my account until they can figure out how this happened and get me new passwords." Taylor titled the post "Well now I'm awake" and you can see the full post HERE.

Following the Twitter hack, Taylor's instagram was also targeted. It is not known if the same person was behind both attacks on Taylor's social media accounts or under separate doings. The Instagram pictures that were posted where quickly taken down and peace was restored.

Taylor's account is listed as one of the largest account on Twitter's system so this hack made it one of the biggest attacks on the social media giant in recent years.

Taylor replied to the hackers shortly after she regained control of her account with the following tweets. Calling out Hayley Williams of Paramore for being the first person to alert her to the unfolding scenario. She also took aim at the hackers claims with her very sassy tweet about their claims to have nude photos of her.

Taylor initial tweet on return was quoting her own edit of her own lyrics from her smash hit 'Shake It Off' with the tweet below.

The tweets in order of posting above have received the following retweets and favourites to date:

And finally, the question of the day that was asked,

So what was Taylor's password?

Hawaii 2015

Taylor is continuing 2015 in style after posting photos of her and the girl band HAIM in none other than Hawaii

Taylor was seen leaving her apartment in NYC on Jan 19 with both Olivia and Meredith in their carry bags. This is when Taylor must have been heading to Nashville to drop her cats off with her parents to be babysat while Taylor was enjoying the Hawaii sunshine.

By the looks of the photos Taylor had a great time on the island of Maui. Taylor spent time relaxing on what is presumably a private secluded beach, although there are not alot/if any paparazzi on the tropical islands anyway. Not fan tweets or any tweets hinted to her location while she was in Hawaii either. From my point of view that is an excellent thing as it allowed her to have some complete privacy and personal time away from the spotlight which is had to do these days.

Below are the photos which Taylor posted on instagram of her time on the island and has now proven that yes she does have a belly button.

Taylor and HAIM also did some whale watching and Taylor was very excited about it as indicated in the instagram video linked HERE.

I'm glad Taylor has been able to get away and enjoy some relaxing time before returns to the states to continue preparations for her 1989 World Tour which starts on May 5th in Tokyo Japan for 2 nights before returning to the USA for the USA leg of the tour starting on May 20th.

Bring on the 1989 World Tour

Cayman Islands and Peoples Choice Awards 2015

(Sorry for the late post, I've been busy)

So, It looks like Taylor got 2015 off to a flying start which made everyone jealous and also happy.

A few days into the New Year and Taylor was spotted leaving her NYC apartment heading to who knows where. It was later discovered from someone's tweet that Taylor had been spotted in the Cayman Islands Airport.

Hopefully Taylor had an amazing vacation, no photographs came out while she was there so obviously the paps are lacking on the Cayman Islands and I'm glad they are and she was able to get some privacy. Some people on the main island did spot her apparently but security was strict so no photos came out of it.

Taylor later posted the photo above with the caption "Clear Blue Water". A reference to her song Clean and the stunning colour of the water. While the selfie is perfect, warnings also came out from swifties about her dislike for sea urchins as a reminder.



The Peoples Choice awards were held in LA on Jan 8th and although Taylor was not in attendance, instead still believed to be in the Cayman Islands, she was still awarded all 3 of the awards she was nominated for. Favourite Female, Favourite Pop Artist and Favourite Song (Shake It Off).

Congrats Taylor on the first awards of what hopefully is many more to come in 2015

Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve 2015

Taylor brought in 2015 with a bang yesterday in Times Square in New York City by performing on the 2015 Dick Clark's Rockin' New Years Eve.

Taylor started out the night by being spotted leaving her apartment on Dec 31st all dressed up warm with red/white beanie on making her look christmasy to me. Taylor's best friend Abigail was first spotted in Times Square along with Taylor before her performance so they had a great night together.

Taylor was seen walking through Times Square just before her performance as seen Here..

Taylor started her performance around 11:38pm in Times Square wearing long black pants with a silver glittery strip down them and a matching crop top and silver over jacket. Taylor started out with her song Welcome To New York which is most appropriate for the occasion and then proceeded to take off her silver jacket and performed Shake It Off ending just 15 mins before midnight at 11:45pm. As Taylor was leaving the stage, she slipped slightly on the stairs as shown in the vine below.

As the countdown to the last minute of 2014 started, Taylor joined Ryan Seacrest, Magic the band and Florida Georgia Line on the main stage to start the countdown. Taylor was still in her performance clothes and so Ryan gave her his coat to keep warm in the freezing New York winter. As midnight hit Taylor was dancing around happily like a young kid and you could see that she was very happy which is all we ask for. Ryan also kissed Taylor on the hand at midnight.

Further pictures were posted by Abigail of the celebrations after eating the whole cake that was made by themselves as per the photo below. Link to the instagram post here.

A full article and video of the performance can be found HERE.

All the best for 2015, May it be another #YearOfTaylor and bring on The 1989 World Tour!!!!!!
