Taylor Has Friends Watching Out

 

Jada Pinkett Smith has come to the defense of Taylor Swift and Rihanna. Both woman have been bashed for their love lives. The actress posted on her Facebook "Are we bullying our young artists?"Smith said among other things. "What about being a young woman in her early twenties, exploring the intricacies of love and power on the world stage? And should we shame a young woman for displaying a sense of innocence as she navigates through the murky waters of love, heartbreak, and fame? Are these young people not allowed to be young, make mistakes, grow and eventually transform...?" Jada also said that just because these young artists are famous "do we feel we can do and say what we please without any responsibility?"

Taylor Management Red Faced

Taylor Swift's management office is in big trouble after a woman found a pile of unread fan letters tossed in a dumpster and handed them to a reporter at a Nashville TV network. Taylor never saw the contents of the mail, which was discovered in a trash can behind a Nashville school and traced back to her business office in the city. The letters came from all over the world, from devotees who had decorated envelopes with glitter and stickers.

... Taylor's publicist said in a statement: "Taylor gets thousands of fan letters everyday and they are delivered to her management office. After the letters are opened and read, they are recycled. The only explanation for any letters being unopened would be that a small batch of mail that was supposed to be delivered to Taylor was accidentally put with letters headed for the recycling center."
