Rapper ‘had an amazing time’ performing with Swift on her Speak Now Tour. By Jocelyn Vena, with reporting by Matt Elias Flo Rida Photo: MTV News Taylor Swift has shared the stage with some of the biggest (and most surprising) artists during her Speak Now Tour . Everyone from Nicki Minaj and Selena Gomez to Bruce Springsteen has graced the stage with the pop darling in 2011. During a Miami tour stop last month, the singer brought Flo Rida onstage to perform his very blush-inducing track “Right Round.” And if you were surprised to hear about the collaboration, Flo told MTV News at Los Angeles’ Jingle Ball over the weekend that he was just as shocked. “I was in Australia. I got home, and I was actually staying in my condo for the day,” he explained. “And I looked down, ’cause my condo, it’s right across the street from the arena, and I was like, ‘I wonder who’s performing?’ So I went down there, spur-of-the-moment, and they told me it was Taylor.” Initially, Flo Rida just wanted a chance to catch the show, but when he spoke to her people, it turned into a whole different opportunity. “I spoke with them, and they asked me to perform,” he said. “And she was very nice and very humble. I had an amazing time. Her fans are over-the-top. It was crazy. Much love to Taylor Swift.” Swift wrapped up her tour in New York last month. During her Atlanta stop over the summer, she brought another rapper onstage with her: T.I. “I was pleasantly surprised and confused,” T.I. told MTV News of receiving the phone call from Swift. “I was confused because I know it’s a phenomenal opportunity, but being T.I. — the Rubberband Man — and Taylor Swift being America’s Sweetheart, I had just gotten out of prison, like, two days [earlier], and all of a sudden my phone rings.” While the hip-hop appearances on her tour might seem surprising, Swift assured us in October that she really loves the genre. “I’m a huge hip-hop fan, and it’s been so amazing to have so many incredible artists come out and to get to sing the hooks on their songs that I’ve been blasting in my car for the last couple years,” she said. “It’s been awesome. I couldn’t have asked for more amazing special guests on this tour.” Which Taylor collabo were you most surprised about? Let us know in the comments!
Major props to Hey Geronimo. The Australian indie pop group put together a music video of the title cut from their new album Why Don’t We Do Something that incorporates some of our favorite iPhone games, bringing them into the physical world. Trippy, funny stuff right here. People who use iPhones will likely recognize Angry Birds, Fruit Ninja, Flight Control, Cut The Rope and Plants vs. Zombies in the video. People without iPhones … what are you thinking?! They’re amazing! You can tell off your partner using Siri ! Anyway, peep the video: iPhone Games in Real Life
Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus have very different sounds (country vs. pop); different looks (blonde vs. brunette); and different philosophies on where they stand as celebrities. Cyrus – who most recently came under fire for making a joke about marijuana – has made it clear that she just wants to be a typical teenager whose occupation happens to make her rich and famous. “My job isn’t to tell your kids how to act or how not to act because I’m still figuring that out myself,” Miley told Harper’s Bazaar a few months ago. “To take that away from me is a bit selfish. Your kids are going to make mistakes whether I do or not.” Swift, conversely, is happy to embrace her status as a role model . She understands it comes with the territory. At the Billboard Women of the Year Awards on Friday, Taylor referenced Faith Hill in an interview with Katie Couric, saying: “For me, when Faith Hill performed on an awards show, everything mattered… everything she said said, did, wore I tried to copy it. That’s what little girls do, so there is a big responsibility and I take it very seriously.” Two artists. Two contrasting points of view. On whose side do you feel? Do you believe Taylor and Miley are role models and should act as such?

Continuing her winning steak, Taylor Swift, dazzling in a gold gown, took home top honors at Sunday night’s American Music Awards as the artist of the year. “This is one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me,” the singer, who also won that in 2009, said. “Thank you to the fans. Please, never change.” Swift was also recognized as the favorite country female artist (a foregone conclusion), and her 2010 record Speak Now was dubbed the top country album. The audience at L.A.’s Nokia Theatre was treated to a star-studded night of electronic, explosive, backing track-assisted performances, closed out by LMFAO. The group delivered an appropriate medley of “Party Rock Anthem” and “Sexy And I Know It,” featuring a dance cameo by none other than Justin Bieber.

A Video I Made for Justin Bieber using the song “If This Was a Movie” by Taylor Swift. Lyrics: Last night I heard my own heart beating Sounded like footsteps on my stairs Six months gone and I’m still reaching Even though I know you’re not there I was playing back a thousand memories baby Thinkin bout everything we’ve been through Maybe i’ve been going back too much lately When time stood still and I had you Come back come back come back to me like You would you would if this was a movie Stand in the rain outside til I came out Come back come back come back to me like You could you could if you just said you’re sorry I know that we can work it out somehow But if this was a movie you’d be here by now I know people change and these things happen But I remember how it was back then Locked up in your arms and our friends are laughing Cause nothing like this ever happened to them Now I’m pacing down the hall Chasing down your street Flashback to the night when you said to me Nothings gonna change not for me and you Not before I knew how much I had to lose Come back come back come back to me like You would you would if this was a movie Stand in the rain outside til i came out Come back come back come back to me like You could you could if you just said you’re sorry I know that we can work it out somehow But if this was a movie you’d be here by now If you’re out there if you’re somewhere if you’re moving on I’ve be waiting for you ever since you’ve been gone I just want it back … http://www.youtube.com/v/f-o04ruQ07I?version=3&f=videos&app=youtube_gdata Here is the original post: If This Was a Movie (Justin Bieber Video) with lyrics
