December 5, 2011 Taylor Swift release the video for her new single Ours this weekend. It stars Taylor Swift in a mundane job, stuck in a cubicle pushing paper, dreaming about seeing the love of her life. The video stars Zach Gilford, Friday Night Lights.
Taylor Swift dressed down to play a working stiff and a plain Jane office dweller in the video for ‘Ours.’ The normally glam and all-dolled-up singer released the first behind-the-scenes webisode from the shoot, providing a little insight on the inner workings and backstory for the clip.
Both Bon Iver and Nicki Minaj have been releasing music for a few years now, so how can they be Best New Artist nominees? Why did the Grammys drop 31 categories this year?

November 29, 2011 I have to admit that the “Mahna Mahna” song is very catchy and I would find myself humming and singing the song long before The Muppets got their reboot. However, I was kind of shocked to find that this song originally got its start in a soft core Italian porn documentary called Sweden: Heaven and Hell.

Oh baby! Remember those pesky rumors that Beyonce isn’t really pregnant and that she has been wearing a prosthetic baby bump? Yeah, we know, we had forgotten about them, too, since they were so preposterous. Well, it turns out that Bey filmed a video about all the hype surrounding her pregnancy during which she chants “Oh baby” dramatically. While it’s not exactly a response to those ridiculous rumors, it’s an example of Bey’s amazing sense of humor about the matter.

So guess who Taylor Swift invited to perform on stage with her at New York City’s Madison Square Garden on Monday, Nov. 21? That’d be Johnny Rzeznik, the lead singer of alt rock hitsmiths Goo Goo Dolls. The band originated in Buffalo, which is way up north in the Empire State. But they are still technically from New York so they fall in line with Swift’s tradition of inviting guests from the state in which she is touring to come on stage with her. The pair performed the band’s pretty, mid-’90s smash ‘Iris,’ a moving ballad, which is right in Swift’s wheelhouse.
