Baby You A Song

Taylor Swift recently spoke with Billboard in anticipation for her performance at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, May 19. Highlights are below.

On the highlight of this past year: “For me, the highlight of this year was that fans went out and bought more than a million copies of Red in its first week of release. That was such an unbelievable feeling, knowing that many people wanted to hear about the last two years of my life.”

On what music trend sparked her interest: “I love that ballads became huge hits this year and that unexpected songs and artists got lots of airplay. Ed Sheeran, the Lumineers and fun. are some of my favorites right now, and they’ve all had big hits with songs that have substance and real instruments. I like it!”

On what music trends hurt her ears: “I don’t like to feel like I’m in a club when I’m in my car and I turn on the radio. Anything that ceases to be a song and just sounds like house music kind of stresses me out.”
