Taylor Swift Reveals Wonderstruck Perfume Inspiration

Scent’s name comes from her song ‘Enchanted,’ singer tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Taylor Swift at the launch of her new perfume in New York City Photo: Getty Images NEW YORK — Taylor Swift took over Manhattan on Thursday for the launch of her first-ever perfume, Wonderstruck. In addition to a number of television appearances, the singer also made an appearance at Macy’s to introduce the world to her fragrance. Like Swift, the perfume is sweet and sparkling. And her devoted fans swarmed the famed New York department store to buy a bottle as well as to try to meet and greet the star, who arrived at the event in a sequined dress befitting of Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s.” “You know, for me, the feeling of being wonderstruck, it’s an excitement of something new,” she told MTV News at the event while hordes of screaming fans shouted. “And lately, for me, that’s been being on tour and having all special guests come out and doing performances and surprising the audience. That’s been one of my favorite things of the entire year.” Swift is, of course, referring to the duets she’s been doing during her Speak Now tour . So far, she’s shared the stage with everyone from Nicki Minaj to Hayley Williams to Justin Bieber, not allowing genre to define her as she performs alongside her pals. While these days she’s been inspired by her live performances, it was one of her own songs that influenced the name she chose for the perfume. “I wrote the lyric, ‘I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home’ for the song ‘Enchanted,’ about the first time you meet someone,” she said. “A fragrance can help shape someone’s first impression and memory of you, and it’s exciting to think that Wonderstruck will play a role in creating some of those memories.” Related Photos Taylor Swift Launches Wonderstruck Perfume Related Artists Taylor Swift

Hilary Swank on Weird Chechnyan Birthday Party Appearance: My Bad!

Hindsight being 20-20, Oscar winner Hilary Swank says she probably should have negged an invite top the birthday party for the President of Chechnya last week. You know, with the dude being accused of torturing and killing people and stuff. Swank, Jean Claude Van Damme and others attended a concert in Chechnya for president Ramzan Kadyrov on October 5, to the dismay of human rights groups. Hilary Swank Greets President of Chechnya “I deeply regret attending this event. If I had a full understanding of what this event was apparently intended to be, I would never have gone,” said Swank. The actress says at the time she accepted the invitation to the concert, she had no idea the event was intended to honor Ramzan Kadyrov personally. Swank gave a speech at the event, however, and even wished him a happy birthday. Asked how she knows that, she replied, “I read … I do my research.” Kadyrov has been accused of torturing and murdering his political rivals, though Kadyrov claims that’s all lies, made up by opponents to make him look bad. Mission accomplished in that case.

I’d been watching videos, looking at tweets and listening…

I’d been watching videos, looking at tweets and listening to songs all to do with Justin for over two years. Never ever did I think I would get to meet him, being from the UK and not America or Canada! But as Justin always says, NEVER SAY NEVER! It was Friday 3rd December and I was at home on my laptop when I noticed that a girl I knew had posted on the internet she was going to meet Justin on Sunday! Immediately I asked her how this was possible, she was really nice and told me where to get a ticket. My heart was going so fast and I was crying where I was panicking, quite sad I know! My mum was shouting at me racing to get the tickets. After about 10 minutes the ticket was brought and printed off. I was going to meet JUSTIN BIEBER!  Never did I think this day would come! As the tickets were courtesy of HMV I thought the event would be in a HMV store but what they failed to tell us was that the event was at a secret location, in Highbury over the other side of London. I hadn’t even heard of Highbury let alone the “Relentless Garage”. As I am under 16 I had to have an adult accompany me and my dad wasn’t best pleased when he found out where the event was but he said he WOULD take me as he knows how much I adore the Bieber.  All weekend I was buzzing, yet when it came to Sunday I couldn’t contain the excitement! I was on my own with my dad as friends didn’t mange to get tickets but I met some lovely girls in the queue and we managed for all of us to have a photo with Justin! It come to 5pm and we still wasn’t inside. Justin was 3 hours late and most of all I was frozen and I’d been waiting for 5 hours. It had been snowing the day before and I only had silly little vans on. But the time came about 5:30pm and they was letting us inside. I got my black wristband and waited inside the venue. Here they played ALL Justin’s songs like OLLG, ONE TIME AND SOMEBODY TO LOVE. Then a guy called “Black wristbands to queue”. A billion girls began screaming and ran to the railings- here we had to queue for our turn to go in with Justin! Two minutes later our group was let in and we approached a door. I was at the front and looked through to see JUSTIN BIEBER standing a few steps away! I shouted just totally fangirl’ed and with that girls swarmed in front! The security guard let us in the room and we approached Kenny, “Go on girls, groups of four or five” he said- me and my new friends rushed to Justin’s side. I stood to the right of him, the other girls surrounding.   “Hi hun”, he said. I couldn’t speak all I said was “Hiya”. One girl asked where to stand and he told her to “Crouch down in front”.  I just remember starring at his nose and hair. He was quite a bit taller than me and totally gorgeous. The whole 4 minutes I was with him I just zoned out and watched him, it was amazing. Me and Justin put our arms round each other and the photographer took the photo. Justin then stepped back and it was time for us to go. Kenny shuffled us along and I managed to just say, “Bye Justin thank you!”. Not a lot but just showed appreciation. My time with Justin wasn’t as long as many other girls around the world but it was perfect. So to all the girls and boys who dream to meet their inspiration, don’t give up. I never thought I’d meet the boy that I’d been staring at through a screen for the past 2 and a half years. But it happened so it can always happen to you! (That’s me in the check shirt) -Annie @anniebiebs See original here: I’d been watching videos, looking at tweets and listening…
