Taylor Swift's namesake record became very popular, in particular, received the status of a five-times platinum album, and also “hung” on the Billboard 200 chart for 234 weeks, breaking a decade record. The audience appreciated the songs, the themes of which, at first glance, were rather superficial - first love, teenage experiences, the transformation from a girl into a woman.

She went up on stage and began to say words of gratitude, when suddenly the rapper snatched the microphone from her and said that Beyoncé's video, presented in the same nomination, was best video like he's seen in his entire life.

Seven years later, the conflict continued: Kanye West released the single "Famous", which included the following line: "I guess I could fuck Taylor, because I made that bitch famous." Of course, the singer sued West, but the rapper's wife, socialite Kim Kardashian, stated that Taylor gave her consent to these lines during a phone conversation with Kanye, which, as it turned out, was recorded.
During a telephone conversation, Swift did agree to such a provocative lyric, adding that it sounds like a compliment to her. “I could not even think that you would mention my name in your songs.

In 2009, Taylor met for several months with the famous werewolf from "Twilight" - Taylor Lautner, with whom she played together in the film "Valentine's Day". There is an opinion that popular composition Taylor Swift "Back to December" tells exactly about the relationship with this actor.
After breaking up with Lautner, the singer's life was Connor Kennedy (grandson of John F. Kennedy), a member of the One Direction band Taylor Swift and Calvin Harris were a great couple
Literally three weeks later, Taylor appeared in public ... with British actor Tom Hiddleston, the star of Thor and The Avengers. Many fans on both sides were convinced that the affair was nothing more than a PR stunt, since Taylor was just recording her sixth studio album, and Hiddleston was filming one of her new videos, and all joint photos the couples looked too staged. The public was especially outraged by Tom Hiddleston's T-shirt with the inscription "I Love T.S" (T.S. - Taylor Swift).
Already in August 2016, rumors appeared in the press that the romance between Taylor Swift and Tom Hiddleston was coming to naught. According to the media, the cause of the quarrel was the desire of the singer to get married, while the actor was not going to give up his bachelor status. Rumors of a breakup were finally confirmed on the eve of September, when Taylor Swift removed Tom Hiddleston from her Facebook friends. On the same day, the girl was seen in the company of an unknown young man.

However, this hasn't stopped anyone yet!

She wrote several songs about it including Last Kiss,
Forever and Always and also hit Holy Ground for incredible
successful album "Red".
2. March 2009 - April 2009: Lucas Till 
It's hard to imagine why the young man rejected
Taylor, but Lucas Till, appearing in the singer's video "You
Belong With Me", wanted only friendship, no romantic
relations.
He later said they "didn't work out." years later
Lucas Till must be biting his elbows watching how
interesting and successful.
3. August 2009 - December 2009: Taylor Lautner 
Taylor Lautner became Taylor Swift's boyfriend after meeting
on the set of the film "Valentine's Day".
Their romance became especially popular in the press, lovers
called "taylor squared" because of the same name, but
it looks like Swift was less interested in him than
he is in it.
She wrote the song "Back To December" about the time
in words:
"Your guard is up and I know why.
Because the last time you saw me
is still burned in the back of your mind
...you gave me roses and I left them
there to die."
Oh!

Now and Mine were about a male star, and all the trails led exactly to
Monteith.
She said the guy "immediately put his hands on her shoulders,
when they stood by the water, and I saw how our whole romance
flickered in a second in the eyes.
In the eyes flashed not only relationships, but also red
sparks when TV presenter Ellen DeGeneres asked her about
the so-called romance with Cory Monteith.
There is no smoke without fire!
6. October 2010 - January 2011: Jake Gyllenhaal 
One of Taylor's most serious boyfriends, couple seen
in the parks walking in autumn New York, they seemed
so in love... He paid $160,000 dollars just
for a private flight to bring her to him across the ocean,
one date just to see her...he was busy
filming in Europe and was very bored in separation. And yet,
left her - parted, informing SMS-coy!
All of her subsequent major hits "We Are Never Ever Getting
Back Together", "All Too Well", "Girl At Home" and "The Moment I Knew",
supposedly about a Hollywood actor.
"All Too Well" is one of my favorite songs so far:
"Cause there we are again in the middle of the night.
We dance around the kitchen in the refrigerator light
Down the stairs, I was there, I remember it all too well, yeah.
But you keep my old scarf from that very first week
"Cause it reminds you of innocence and it smells like me
You can't get rid of it, "cause you remember it all too well, yeah
7. July 2012 - September 2012: Conor Kennedy

to be closer to the home of Robert F. Kennedy's grandson, and later
sold the house - three months after the breakup.
"Conor is just an 18 year old who hasn't been
still ready for anything serious, "said one of his friends
in an interview with RadarOnline at the time.
"But Taylor was looking for a life partner, a kindred spirit, and his is
in general, it was frightening how serious she was."
8. October 2012 - January 2013: Harry Styles 
Everyone was talking about this ROMAN. First of all, because
he has a multi-million army of female fans, and then it was already
about her...
They were seen together several times on a date, including a hike.
to New York Central Park and the Zoo.
But the relationship ended very quickly and sadly.
True, they say that Harry tried to make contact with Taylor
later, when I heard her new songs (probably about him) in
album "1989".
Then followed a long period of loneliness.
"I'm not dating anyone, and I'm not going to yet," - said
Taylor Swift.
9. March 2015 to present: Calvin Harris 
They have been dating since the beginning of this year and... very happy!
Of course, Taylor Swift is one of the star girls that never disappear from paparazzi radar. Moreover, the point here is not so much in new clips and excellent performances, but in bright and high-profile novels. So, now the whole world is discussing the relationship between Taylor and British actor Tom Hiddleston, one of the likely candidates for the role of the new James Bond. On this occasion, we decided to recall the most memorable Swift novels - the top 11 is right in front of you.
The vocalist of the rock band Jonas Brothers Joe Jonas became one of Taylor Swift's first men and, according to the singer herself, the first of those who broke her heart. The breakup of the couple can hardly be called pleasant - there were rumors that Joe dumped Taylor on the phone. But short phone conversation at the same time, it resulted in several songs at once, including the compositions Forever And Always, Fearless and Last Kiss. Fans (both Jonas and Swift) tend to think that the reason for the breakup is actress Camilla Belle.
Taylor Lautner (August 2009-December 2009)
Despite the fact that Taylor began dating "Twilight" star Taylor Lautner much earlier, the couple had the opportunity to reschedule their romantic relationship to the big screen. So, Taylor and Taylor (and it was also pretty cute) played together in the comedy "Valentine's Day", and broke up, maintaining a tender friendship.
John Mayer (December 2009-February 2010)
The age difference between 19-year-old promising singer Taylor Swift and 35-year-old musician John Mayer did not interfere with their three-month romance. At the same time, Swift fans are sure that the relationship was doomed from the very beginning - Mayer's "track record" included such girls as Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston and Jessica Simpson, and Taylor became just another decoration of his beautiful collection. Interestingly, after the breakup, the girl wrote the song "Dear John" about Mayer, which the singer called "the lousiest he had ever heard."
Cory Monteith (April 2010-May 2010)
Swift's romance with Glee star Cory Monteith began to be talked about before their first joint photos appeared in the press. It is generally accepted that it was the love for Corey that made Taylor end the relationship with Taylor Lautner, but to end the relationship with Monteith is the young man's excessive drug addiction. When Monteith was found dead on July 13, 2013, the singer tweeted: "No words. For the worst possible reason."
Jake Gyllenhaal (October 2010-January 2011)
Taylor Swift's romance with actor Jake Gyllenhaal was beautiful and memorable: the couple happily posed for photographers and, at every opportunity, reminded others of how happy they were. However, everything ended not so beautifully - Jake left Taylor on the eve of the New Year, noting that they would hardly have succeeded because of the age difference.
Eddie Redmayne (October 2011-January 2012)
When Eddie Redmayne was not yet the star of the "Stephen Hawking Universe", he was credited with a short and maximally hidden affair with Taylor Swift. According to rumors, Eddie and Taylor met at the audition for the film "Les Misérables", where the singer claimed the role of Eponina. "Taylor fell in love with him almost immediately," a source close to the girl's entourage said. Again, according to rumors, the young people had to end the relationship due to the fact that Taylor did not get the role, and Eddie did not believe in love at a distance.
Zac Efron (February 2012-March 2012)
For two months, journalists have been actively "marrying" Taylor and Zac Efron - while the latter has repeatedly spoken of Swift as "good and very beautiful girl", and Taylor, in turn, noted that Zach is "an amazing guy." Rumors in this sense were also fueled by Us Weekly, which reported that the stars had dinner together several times, and the atmosphere in the restaurant could not be called anything other than romantic.
Conor Kennedy (July 2012-October 2012)
In the summer of 2012, 22-year-old Taylor Swift had an affair with 18-year-old Conor Kennedy, the grandson of John F. Kennedy's brother Robert. The young people spent a lot of time together, including several weekends at the Kennedy family mansion in Massachusetts.
Harry Styles (December 2012-January 2013)
Romance between vocalist One group Direction by Harry Styles and Taylor Swift was the cause of heated discussions in the press. Most often they came down to one question: PR or not? After parting, Freddie Negrete, tattoo artist and close friend Styles, admitted to the Daily Star that there was never any chemistry between the "lovers". As the reason for the gap, Harry himself called the "asexuality" of the singer, which caused dissatisfaction with her many fans.
Calvin Harris (March 2015-June 2016)
Taylor Swift's romance with Scottish DJ Calvin Harris can be safely called full-fledged relationship. However, the couple did not make it to the first anniversary: before the fans had time to discuss the details of the upcoming wedding (which, according to rumors, was about to take place), Swift and Harris announced their breakup. The reason, according to insiders, was a mutual desire. “There was no drama, just sometimes people disagree,” said a source close to their entourage. However, there is another version, much more interesting - Taylor had an affair with a lonely handsome Tom Hiddleston, and Harris found out about it and became furious.
Tom Hiddleston (June 2016)
A few weeks ago, Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift stopped venting their feelings and hiding from photographers. So, the 35-year-old actor and the 26-year-old singer were filmed on a romantic date at the Colosseum, and, in addition, there is information that Tom has already introduced Taylor to his mother. The latter, by the way, extremely outraged Swift's ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, who said that during their romance, Taylor never met his parents. It is difficult to judge how long the new relationship of the singer will last - but we will closely monitor the development of events.
commented on the statement popular singer Taylor Swift, who recently posted on her Instagram a detailed explanation of why she will not vote for Republican Marsha Blackburn in the upcoming elections to the US Senate from Tennessee. According to Trump, the 28-year-old artist simply does not know anything about the policy she decided to campaign against.
It's curious that american president Swift commented on the post not on his Twitter (it happens), but in a conversation with a correspondent who informed the head of state about the recording of the singer.
“Marsha Blackburn is doing an amazing job back in Tennessee,” Trump said in response. “She is an amazing woman. I'm sure Taylor just doesn't know anything about her."
He also admitted that now "Swift likes (he) 25% less music."
The resonant statement of the popular artist was a big surprise for many - the singer, as a rule, distances herself from performances of this kind, preferring not to discuss political issues in any way. However, Blackburn's work in Congress apparently pissed off Swift: on her Instagram, the singer clearly stated what exactly, in her opinion, the politician was doing wrong.
“Her work in Congress confuses and scares me,” Taylor explained to her subscribers. “She voted against equal pay for women, she voted against the domestic violence law, she voted for the right of companies to deny service to gay couples. In addition, Blackburn opposes same-sex marriage, which is why I will cast my vote for Democrat Phil Bredesen. I urge you to carefully consider the values of the candidates before you vote for anyone.”
At the same time, Swift admitted that such a decision was not easy for her: initially she wanted to support a woman in the elections (not just Blackburn, but in general).
“I just cannot cast my vote for someone who does not want to fight for the rights of absolutely all Americans - regardless of skin color, gender and who they love. I really wanted to support the woman in this election, but I can’t vote for Blackburn, ”said the singer.
66-year-old Marsha Blackburn is considered one of the most respected politicians in Tennessee, as her ratings prove: a woman first ran for the House of Representatives at the beginning of the century, and since then has consistently outperformed candidates from her district (sometimes by a three-fold advantage, which is , however, is logical, given the popularity of the Republicans in the state).
Most of what Blackburn Swift imputed is indeed true. Thus, the Republican is a clear opponent of the LGBT community, often voting against the expansion of the rights of representatives of non-traditional sexual orientation. In particular, she opposed the repeal of the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" law, which did not allow openly gay people to serve in the US Army (it was canceled in 2010).
At the same time, the thesis about the politician's vote against the law on domestic violence somewhat distorts reality. In 2013, Blackburn really opposed this decree, but then it was not about the decree itself, but about one of its amendments, which concerned LGBT people. The Republican considered it wrong for the law on domestic violence to apply to same-sex unions, explaining that such an expansion would reduce funding. rehabilitation centers for women who have been abused by their husbands.
As for Blackburn's attitude towards Trump himself, it is, of course, positive. Marsha supports many of the president's decisions (including on migration issues) and in 2018 became one of the signatories. official letter on the nomination of the head of the United States for Nobel Prize peace "for their help in ending the Korean War and bringing peace to the region."
