iHeart Radio Music Awards 2015

Last night the 2015 iHeart Radio Music Awards were held at the Shrine Auditorium in downtown Los Angeles. Taylor was one of the big winners on the night when she took home 3 awards.

Taylor's first award of the night was Best Lyrics of the year for her song Blank Space. She had a bit of a laugh with friend Justin Timberlake who was sat at her table for the evening before going up to accept the award.

Taylor's second award of the night was for Song of the Year with "Shake It Off". She credited co-writers Max Martin and Shellback in her acceptance speech and can't wait to see us dancing to the song on tour while Madonna presented her with the award.

The final award to be handed out last night was for Artist of the Year. After the outstanding success Taylor has had over the last 5 months, it is no surprise that she was awarded the top honour of the night.

Unfortunately Taylor missed out on the last award she was nominated for which was Best Fan Army but thats ok as we know Taylor loves us and she knows we love her too. The fans were mentioned in all 3 of Taylor's acceptance speeches.

I don't know if you would call this as big as winning artist of the year or bigger but Taylor took to the stage in a surprise performance with Madonna. The song was Ghost Town with Taylor playing Madonna's acoustic black guitar for the performance.


It seems as though both Taylor and Madonna were fangirling over the performance but Taylor was fangirling just a little bit more judging by her tweets and instagram posts after the performance. Taylor tweeted multiple times about the performance including this one below which also quoted her song All Too Well.


Taylor also quoted from her song Fifteen with this photo from instagram of a photo found on tumblr


Congratulations Taylor on a very successful night at the iHeart Radio Awards and may the awards continue into 2015

"Style" is Pop Radio's Most Played Song + Other Achievements

It was published today that the 3rd single "Style" off Taylor's smash hit 5th album 1989, becomes the most played pop song in the last charting week from 7th -13th March 2015.

Style received a staggering 18,158 plays in the last week on pop radio which brings it just ahead of Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" with 18,114 plays in the same period on pop radio. If "Style" can hold onto the lead until Sunday's official update then it will become the No.1 pop song of the week.

Taylor's previous pop chart topping hits include "Love Story", "You Belong With Me", "I Knew You Were Trouble", "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space".

"1989" has now outsold both RED and Speak Now, just a mere 19 weeks after its release in late October 2014. "1989" which has sold 4.5 Mil copies in the USA alone, sold another 44,000 copies in the week ending March 8th. Taylor's 4th album RED has been out for 128 weeks and sold 4.160 Mil copies since its release in October 2012, while Speak Now has been out for 228 weeks and sold 4.480 Mil copies since its release in October 2010.

Speak Now was Taylor's 3rd biggest selling album behind Fearless (2008) and Taylor Swift (2006) which has now been knocked back to 4th place in the continued rise of "1989". Next in the album hit list is her debut album with 5.492 Mil copies sold so far and Fearless with 6.909 Mil copies sold.

Taylor has made another record for herself, and this is one I see her breaking continuously for a little while longer. She has logged a record extending 18th week on the Billboard Artist 100 chart. She has held a spot on the Billboard Artist 100 chart for a total of 32 weeks, with 18 of those being at No. 1.

I'm sure "1989" will continue to make history and break records for a long time to come
