Y’all know I like Taylor Swift. I think she’s a cutie, but I don’t think she’s Little Miss Perfect, which is the image many people have of her, and perhaps that’s the image she wants us to buy. I think she’s a good girl, sure, but there are questions I have about her relationship with John Mayer (more on him in a minute), and about how everyone falls all over themselves to call her the best young talent in music today. Still, it could totally be worse, and I applaud Taylor’s grace over the past year as her fame continued to grow.
Anyway, this is Taylor at the Songwriters Hall of Fame ceremony last night. Her dress is J. Mendel and her heels are Louboutin. The flower in her hair is overkill, right? Otherwise, the whole ensemble is very nice. Pretty dress, good shoes, she didn’t straighten her hair, but she pulled it back and it looks decent. She’s got great skin, too. The only criticism I have is that someone needs to teach this girl how to pose on a red carpet. Standing around pigeon-toed is not a good pose.
Now, onto the John Mayer stuff – he was at the ceremony too. And he presented the Hal David Starlight Award to Taylor (it’s an award for up-and-coming songwriters, they weren’t inducted her into the Hall of Fame, thank God). Mayer told the crowd: “She’s no accident… You could put her in a time machine in any era and she would have a hit record…Don’t confuse everybody loving one thing as hype. Sometimes that’s everyone agreeing that it’s fabulous.” Yeah. They’re boning.

Is it just me, or does it look like those shoes are seriously binding her toes… she might want to go up a half size next time.
Cute dress.
If they’re not (and I hope they’re not) I think he’s trying to make it happen.
i really like the hair flower and i also like her pigeon-toe – makes her more “real”, it’s charming that she’s not a pro at posing like her life depends on it.
I don’t think the flower is overkill. She’s barely wearing any jewelry and the flower takes the place of earrings or a necklace.
I hope she’s having fun with him, but I hope she doesn’t take him too seriously.
She should really thank Kanye! If it wasn’t for him, nobody would know her in Europe!
Wait wait, i see the same perfect complexion like Megan F, and you guys call her real? Megan had pimples and freakish thumb..that was real….or am i missing something here?
Those shoes are fug (and the wrong size)
I still don´t know her music in Europe, lol
she always wears the same cute outfits very “sweet prom girl”.
I’m glad she’s not like Miley Cyrus or Britney but she’s 20/21 and looks too virgin to be honest
Poor little toes-ies! I want him to fall for her and her to break his heart via a tweet that says, “Your fun bitch, but I’m with Cory now!”
That would be amazing!
Songwriters Hall of Fame? For what? ‘My Fairytale Pony is Named Peaseblossom’? ‘Let’s Pretend We’re Princesses and Comb Each Other’s Hair’? ‘True Love Boyfriend, Come Rescue Me?’
Forget that whole Kanye thing if she’s dating that swamp-donkey John Mayer, her head is even emptier than her music. Yeah, yeah, she’s perfect because her hair is just so blonde, it makes you want to take care her and trust her as a role model. Look, I’m sure her music is much better than it sounds, but I don’t get it with this kid. Her taste in men is worse than that of January Jones.
I wish she were wise to Mayer & his type but I guess this is part of her learning process.
I like her but her style could be more varied and not always so “sweet.”
“swamp-donkey”? hahahahaha
Run Taylor, RUN!
I also like the flower and even the lack of perfect pose acumen. It keeps her real instead of blending with the rest of the over done, over posed, nipped tucked, coiffed, botoxed peers. The flower and poses are what keep her fans her fans. And if she is sleeping with JM it will be a her right of passage to be broken hearted by the bad boy but I’d watch out for Swifty’s mom who WOULD hunt him down.
The top pic looks like they snapped her mid turn/pose — she looks swiveled — so the pigeon toed thing could be because she hadn’t adjusted her gait yet.
I don’t hate the flower, but I do hate the shoes. The dress is OK & I don’t think she’s boning John Mayer, but she’s letting him get to 3rd base.
She looks beautiful with flower and all. She should date someone her own age, John Mayer is not good for her.
I hate that pigeon toed pose. Ooh, look how awkwardly cute and alluring I am. Time for something new.
“‘Let’s Pretend We’re Princesses and Comb Each Other’s Hair’? ”
HAHAHAAHAHAHA Thanks for the laugh, that is freaking hilarious!
I still think Taylor is the real deal and is as sweet as she seems to be. I am hoping against hope that she has nothing to do with Mr Douchebag. She hugs everyone like that so I don’t think there is anything to it. Please, please, please don’t let there be anything to it…
Talent? Maybe she can play the guitar and write notoriously, grotesquely cheesy songs that appeals to little girls, but her voice is cr*p. She cannot sing a note, literally. A singer not being able to sing (except when she’s put through auto-tune) is a big problem. Not exactly what I would describe as talent.
John was seen leaving Gold Bar in NYC on June 10th at 3:30 AM with two women he picked up, after having made out with one of them inside the bar. Now, tell me, if you guys think Taylor Swift is so classy, why would you think she wouldn’t care about that and keep boning him. You must not like Taylor as much as you say you do. That’s just low class.
Stunning. Prettier than most models only the pretty part is the icing on the cake, rather than the cake.
I love it. Plus, she’s rocking an eye catching, different do while keeping the curls.
Flower is nice, shoes look painful
she’s not boning him.. I think they have common ground cuz they are both song writer / performers. Hopefully he backs off and leaves her alone. I think she’s smart enough to at least know about his reputation, and if she’s not her mom is!!! Her mom is still a huge part of her life so hopefully she will listen to her warnings. If not, she will figure it out real fast!!
@Julia – agreed….you said it perfectly!
Of all the horrible things said here about Taylor Swift, is the same reasons I like her.
She wears cute dresses that are age appropriate. I have never seen her dressed like a hooker at any event. Even while on stage performing she never looks like she is desperately trying to selling S.E.X.
Unlike 17 year old Miley Cyrus.
Yet sadly, I would not be surprise if Taylor has seen creepy old John Mayer naked.
But it will most likely end badly. Then she will write an entire album about it and shame him for screwing her over.
Guhhhh. He’s so creepy and gross. Please, Taylor, stay well away from him. He’s bad news in 20 foot high, neon letters.
John Mayer is about as good for Taylor Swift as a muddy grass stain on the back of white shorts.
That dress looks like the dress Anna Paquin wore in True Blood in the scene where Bill proposes to Sookie in the French restaurant!
I’m with Julia @ 2:00PM …
Taylor Swift can play basic guitar and write cheesy poem/songs for angsty teens. She has no range and cannot sustain a note longer than it takes to say the word. Her Grammy award for Album of the Year was idiotic! Personality wise, Taylor is a uninteresting blank and lookswise, a ferret. Really!
Oh yeah, she’s a country singer and got shut out at the Country Music Awards. Perhaps, they want you to actually be able to sing.
“Oh yeah, she’s a country singer and got shut out at the Country Music Awards.”

Maybe she will have to let those 4 Grammy’s she won, help her get over the hurt.
And there are two different country music awards shows.
Taylor took home the 5 “Country Music Association Awards” she was up for just last year. Including entertainer of the year.
Jo Mama, that was hilarious. And to those who say she really needs to thank Kanye (I love crazy Kanye—his antics and music) for much of her fame, I totally agree. She got a lot of positive pity press. Her songs are pretty damned lame. They are cavity inducing.
i think she has a lot of grace. very young, and very talented, and she knows how to stay a mystery as far as the media is concerned. john mayer is an epic douche; maybe he was playing the field for years and now she’s the one? we’ll see. hope she doesn’t get a vd or worse… she’s far too lovely.
it’s not pigeon-toed. it’s a red carpet pose designed to make the hips look narower.
I like Taylor but I she seems too immature/innocent. Which is why I don’t think she’s dating/doing John Mayer. She would be gushing about it and John would have publically bragged about it. Is it just me or is John giving “the creepy dad who inappropriately hugs his daughter’s friends too long and hard” vibe in the hugging picture?
Love her!
But hate, hate, hate the hair, makeup, shoes and pigeon-toed shlump.
When she puts out her next album, I imagine she’ll be up for more awards. There’s a reason she hasn’t been nominated for a lot of stuff recently.
She dresses appropriately for her fan base, but I’d like to see her try something a little funkier. But eh, it’s her. I think she may be a little self-conscious. She’s gawky as hell, which I think explains the pose – she’s what, 6′ tall, and stick her in a pair of those shoes (which I’m sure she doesn’t wear often, if ever) and she’s going to be like a baby giraffe. I’m surprised she’s not all hunched over.
I still don’t think Mayer’s boning her, although I’m starting to wonder if she wishes he was. Beth is right, he’d be all over Twitter with it and he’d also have dumped her publicly by now.
As for the people who say she’s got no talent – have you seen her perform live, a capella? She does have a voice and can hold a note. She plays the piano and guitar, writes her own music, however juvenile you think it is, and sings passably enough that her peers have given her quite a few awards.
She seems a little too “handled,” but other than that, I don’t know what the issue is that makes people so pissed off about her.
Is she allowed to change her hair…fkn sh*t…that wavy, side-parted bullshit needs to stop…God forbid she wore her hair straight or something.
@ Kat too funny!
This girl has a creepy face, almost unhuman.
Swamp-donkey?
Cavity-inducing?
I love you guys! hahahahaha!!! Especially Jo Mama Besser, your comments are always funny.
