Taylor Swift Hugs Everyone

The country stand-out was one of the presenters for the Grammy noms this morning when she heard her own name announced and promptly started hugging everyone on stage.

“I’ve always been a hugger,” she says. “I honestly did not think I was going to get nominated, so when they said my name I just felt like hugging somebody. I’m glad that everyone started hugging. If we all hugged more, the world would be a better place.”

Ah, the key to world peace, thanks to Taylor Swift. Someone get the President on the phone. You hear me, Jenna Bush??

Taylor, honey.

Hugging spree = boring

Drinking spree = good

Write it down, sweetheart.

  • Taylor I like how you are you are a great row-model for kids, pre-teens,teens,and even adults. so, taylor your not boring your a good person. keep up the good work!!!

  • I can’t stand Taylor! She’s a really bad singer when she is singing live. I really don’t understand how she got a record deal with that flat voice. What I hate the most about her is how she never gives creidt to the people who helped her write her songs. She’s always bragging about how she wrote everything and how she’s a prodigy kid. She’s totally lame and thats why she belongs in country music.

  • you r soooooooooooooooooooo hot id like to meet u plz
    your beuitiful and a great singer

  • well damn, Jessica, I’d like to see you get a record deal and be better than her! And I, as a teenage country fan, am so DAMN sick and TIRED of people saying “country music sucks. only old crust people listen to it.” well it’s a way of life!!!!!!!!! and writing/co-writing all the songs on her debut album is an AMAZING accomplishment, she’s the first female country singer to do so. Jessica, if you’d look at the booklet in her CD, there’s a whole back page dedicated to her fans, inspirations, and record label people. I’ve heard her singing live and she sounds good, not flat at all. Maybe it’s because you’re used to electronically mixed and digitally mastered music that you don’t appreciate it. And whoever wrote this article needs to check her age. She’s 18, and most country people don’t go on “drinking sprees”, whatever the hell that is. We drink beers, what NASCAR, and listen to country music. No martinis or margaritas. It’s boring to you because rap & pop people get high and wasted when they get a nomination for something, then can’t be there! I’m not dropping any names, but Amy Winhouse wasn’t even at the Grammys and she was nominated for 6 or 7 of them! So I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t talk about things like country music that you know nothing about. Thank you very much!

  • Look Jessica… Most of the people you listen to probably suck at singing live!!! Either that or they lip sing! AT least Taylor has the guts to use her real voice! And f.y.i, she sounds amazing live!! She’s not fake at all!! You’re just some fake bitch that doesn’t appreciate good music!! And who ever wrote this article is stupid!! Taylors not 21 yet!! She’s not gunna go on a drinking spree at her age when its illegal!!! She’s smart, not stupid like all the other fake, self centered, wanna be’s out there!!!

  • RU fricking kidding me?! I’ve downloaded tons of her live songs and they’re amazing. I bet you listen to Avril Lavigne. She’s wayyyy flat. I heard her live and she can’t sing at all.
    Translation:
    Taylor Swift=Good

    Taylor can play guitar too, and it’s been awhile since I’ve actually heard a song on the radio that actually uses all real instruments.

  • taylor swift is awsoem pretty talented to. i wish i could sing as good as her and if ppl say is sucks it eather because there jelious or they have bad taste. she is is the best in the world…….

  • taylor swift is an amazing singer and all u haters suck… she is not a phony at all and she is the best country singer ever

  • Taylor Swift is soooooo awesome! She is the BEST country singer ever! Even better than Carrie Underwood! And she is totally sexy!

  • You are soooo sexy Taylor! OMG, I would LOVE to meet you in person! By the way, your not boring! I have a whole bunch of pics of you! Never change, and don’t listen to those people!

  • hey i think her songs are pretty good but they arent that good. they are all about the same thing: love, love, and more love

  • hey the people that said that Taylor Swift needs to be drunk doesn’t need to say that because Taylor is a good person and people don’t need to be saying things like that to someone they never meet …so DO NOT TALK LIKE THAT AROUND PEOPLE THAT LIKE TAYLOR SWIFT! 1SO THE PEOPLE THAT SAID MEAN THINGS ABOUT HER NEED TO APOLOGYS BECAUSE ..IF u think about it this way …have ur parents ever said “treat people the way u want to be treated”?well how would u like it if someone told u to be drunk?THINK ABOUT IT!!!

  • Taylor Swift i would love to meet u in real and not through pics or that type ..oh and whenever i am near my cusins i always sing ur song. I really like: Our Song.Picture To Burn,Teardrops On My Guitar and Mary’s song(oh my my my)!! U ROCK TAYLOR SWIFT SO U KEEP GOING AND HEADING TOWARDS UR GOALS TO BE A BETTER SINGER THAN ANYONE!!!

  • :) Taylor Swift is such a good singer and person. She seems to be a really nice person and cares about others. Taylor, if you are reading this, I REALLY like your singing and i think u r such a good person. It is so nice how u r giving ur dresses to those who cant afford. that is really sweet. ( i read it in the 17 magazzine;u look great on that covver!!) i would like to join in that. :)))

  • Taylor swift is POPPIN !!!! i dont care what NONE OF THE HATERZ SAY !! i dont even listen to country music like that on a serious level && i LOVE her .. so haterz fall back please && let Taylor do her THAAAANG !!

  • Taylor swift is talented, kind,and a great role model. Your life must be boring if all you have to do is bad mouth her. Get a grip. When you get a record deal you can talk. But people like you dont get them because you have NO LIFE and NO TALENT! keep it up Taylor.

  • Taylor Swift is about the worst singer I have ever heard. She is just not technically talented. I would rather be stung on the eardrum by a wasp than listen to her live album.

    I felt really bad for the people on “Nashville Star” who didn’t make the cut, who were clearly better than Taylor. It was pretty unfair to have her perform at a competition which is based on talent.

  • I think her CD’s are great, but live singing needs work.
    No comparison to Carrie Underwood.

  • Taylor I like how you are you are a great row-model for kids, pre-teens,teens,and even adults. so, taylor your not boring your a good person. keep up the good work!!!

    Row-model? you are a retard. its Role Model. Taylor Swift’s music is the absolute worst mediocre crap ever produced by mankind.

  • jessica
    I BET YOUR A BRINEY SPEARS FAN!!!!!!!!!
    TAYLOR SWIFT IS NATUALY GEOUGUS and a hugging spree is sweet and kind unlike you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!she is beutiful and her singing is betiful i be that happy a probely do the same thing!!!!!!!!!! so shut up about things you don’t even know about KID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • jessica since your brain is as small as a atom and can’t handel the amount of so many words let me make it simple.
    Taylor Swift=AWSOME
    You= asshole
    wirte it down if your small brain can’t remember

    • HEy is this actually taylor Swift I don’t really believe that
      But it wuz a nice try… I never would a of thot of that.
      If it is…well u r pretty good:)

  • Yes…. Taylor is one of the worst singers country has seen in a while…. along w/ Rodney Atkins and Dierks Bently…. Though Dierks and Rodney make good music…..If you lived in Nashville … like I do…. and saw the insane talent here…. You would be angry in a way. You would also agree that it was not her abilities in any way, that secured her fame. Yes she is a shoe in for pre-teen record sales…. what is so crazy is the adults buying these terrible songs. Get some vocal training Taylor!!

  • Hey, all Taylor haters suck! Taylor is an real awesome singer and she’s natural not like the most famous teeny singers!
    And why in hell is hugging boring?! hugging is real kind!
    and “drinking sprees”, she isnt 21 yet, so why should she drink ?!!
    Taylor, when you read this, you ARE a great singer and NOT boring! You’re very neat and awesome!!!
    And even me (a german) listen to you! so, this show, that she’s on her best way to become a famous singer!
    -Lee

  • Hey, I would have to say that Taylor Swift is a very talented song writer. I do have to agree though that she doesn’t always sing “live” very well. I think after a while it may get better though.

  • If you are going to publish your thoughts online, don’t you think it would be a good idea to spell correctly and use correct grammar? If you actually think someone is awesome and every word you write in a blog is misspelled, it really makes your praise seem as if it comes from an illiterate buffoon. As a result your thoughts are discounted and the nice things you have said about the person are lost. Your writing represents you. Impress people with your ability to express your thoughts on paper. When in doubt, run the spell checker in MS WORD and cut and paste.

    As far as Taylor is concerned, I have seen her on awards shows and her pitch is really off when she is belting out the notes. Pretty? Oh yea, she is gorgeous, I just would not buy her music.

  • You all need to leave Taylor alone!!!! And yah, Britney Spears may be my mom, but i’m not like her, and I will stick up for Taylor no matter what!!!!!!!!!! She is beautiful, talented, and is an awsome girl just the way she is!!!!!!!!!! I know what pressure shes going through!! I’m also 18 and i’m working on my first album, its alot of pressure!!!!!!!!!! Taylor, don’t listen to all those people, their just jealouse!!!!! Stay the way you are and don’t change!!!!!!

  • Taylor, I know we haven’t met in person yet,(But we will when my album comes out!) But, would you go out with me? You can question me or do whatever you want I don’t care.But, would you think about it?

    -Chance Scott Spears

  • I think Taylor is smart, cute, talented and absolutley BEAUTIFUL!! Every time she sings, she leaves a comforting softness behind. She’s my idol! She writes all of her own beautiful, down to earth songs. She tries hard to reach goals and she has the warmest, softest heart that no one else has, and thats why i love her. If I could ever be lucky enough to acutualy meet her i’d probaly be so happy i’d have a heart attack!!!!!!

  • Taylors so not boring. shes a compatinent, down to earth person. (and hey, wats wrong a little hugging spree?) ;) I LOVE YOU TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • “jessica since your brain is as small as a atom and can’t handel the amount of so many words let me make it simple.
    Taylor Swift=AWSOME
    You= asshole
    wirte it down if your small brain can’t remember”

    Wooow… You’re going to accuse someone of having a small brain, yet you have the spelling abilities of a 3rd grader. Very ironic. Thanks for the chuckle.

    A.) I don’t have a record deal. I didn’t realize that meant I couldn’t judge music. Hmm… interesting.

    B.) Not liking Taylor Swift hardly makes you dumb. People can like what they want.

    C.) Is everyone posting in this forum, like, 10 yrs. old? The spelling mistakes & terrible retorts make me want to vomit.

    D.) Whoever has been using the word “natural” to describe her looks, get real. She wears make-up & dyes her hair & does a lot of the same stuff fellow female tart-y musicians do. She might be down to earth, but get her off the pedestal, people.

    Hugging is great! It’s great that Taylor likes to give hugs. She’s pretty attractive, seems like a nice girl, & from what I’ve seen, she’s fairly talented. HOWEVER, she’s NOT that good of a singer & she’s not some prodigal teen! And no, she’s not that great live, not @ all. I can respect her as a musician, sure, but I don’t listen to her music b/c *gasps* I don’t like it. And I guarantee you she won’t be that big in five years. Not in the music world, @ least. She’s not good enough.

    And just b/c certain people on here have said they don’t like her, that doesn’t mean the music they like is automatically crap. You guys are being totally hypocritical, complaining about other peoples’ taste that you know absolutely nothing about, in the process of saying, “don’t judge!” LoL It’s hilarious, but also pretty flippin’ pathetic.

  • The current crop of under-25 female country singers are cute, built, and have decent voices; but any 5 of them couldn’t give a brain transplant to a grape!

  • I don’t want to be mean or anything but she sucks and i really think that she is a lip singer cuz she is fake and is not pretty with out make up and you all no it

  • Um, you people don’t even KNOW Taylor Swift, so how can any of you have ANY opinion of her? Do you think she’s showing you intimate parts of her personality, considering the fact that she is famous and in front of millions and millions of prying ears and eyes? NO.

  • Um, you people don’t even KNOW Taylor Swift, so how can any of you have ANY opinion of her? Do you think she’s showing you intimate parts of her personality, considering the fact that she is famous and in front of millions and millions of prying ears and eyes? NO.

  • Taylor Swift, you’re awesome in every way, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise; END OF DISCUSSION!!!!!

  • she is very nice and very beatiful….

    i don’t know why the stupid jonah wants to broke up with her??

    i think she likes an angel..

    if i get her (waw.. i’m to much dreaming) i won’t make her dissapointed…

  • Okay, Swift is obviously not a terrible singer, since so many people obviously love her music and she’s topped the charts more than once. I don’t think it’s achieving anything to bash her for your own amusement, since all it does is get people riled up about something which really doesn’t matter.

    As for the drinking sprees thing – well how many 18 yr olds do YOU know that regularly go on drinking sprees? Some do, yeah, but personally I fail to see how Swift could be a decent singer if she was drunk all the time.

    I also don’t see why any of you even care. Do you know Swift personally? No? Then why are you getting so mad on her behalf, whether you dislike her or not?

    Whether or not you like her music, I don’t think it matters in the slightest. Everyone has different tastes in music; it may have escaped your notice but regardless of how popular Swift is, NOT EVERYONE LIKES COUNTRY MUSIC. Live with it.

  • Her song rocks , i love lovestory , People who cant appreciate her music , STFU . Please , stop being jealous , go get a record deal if your that big , bitches .

    & Oh yeah , Jessica you suck , Get a life !

  • Taylor Swift ROCKS! She’s pretty, a good singer and she’s a good song writer. I never really had a heart for country until I heard her music. If you don’t like her talk to me when YOU get a hit single!

    • Yeah like I love her to death like she’s my iold I will take a bullet for her she’s my idol I’m her biggest fan I’m listening to jump then fallright now and I never really liked country music but now I do because of her she’s amaizing she’s a really good songer writer I do have an obsession I’m going to a concert I have about 45 posters…2 picutres of her in my locker and 13 pictures of. Her in my phone I love u taylor u awesome and ur music :) :) :) <3 <3 <3

  • why does everyone in this world have to be so bitchy???? this girl has talent. just because you dont like her doesnt mean the rest of us cant!! she is a good singer and all round artist and obviously a very loving person!!!;) wots wrong with a bit of love?? i dont think theres enough and if everyone in the world DID love then there’d be no hate!!! Duuuuuhhhh! ;)

  • honestley people this is stupid. whats the problem with hugging?!? i have a couple of points to make:
    1) if your going to write a blog at least get your spellings right!
    2) think through what your saying, taylor is underage and looks pretty sensible to me therefor she wouldn’t be going on a drinkin spree anyway
    3)just because you are not a drunk/druggie dosent make you boring!
    4)taylor is talented what ever you people think i bet most of you wouldnt have the courage or talent to get up on stage and perform in front of milliions of people! (millions of people probably wouldnt want to listen to you, they do for taylor!)
    5) counry music isnt bad its just not you taste,Im not a big fan myself, but i can apreciate that others do and i have no problem with that.

    and last but not least stop being so bitchy, live your lives and let her live hers. i bet shes not bothered who you hug!! she has a life!!! so how about you go get one too!!

  • Hey just wanted to say Taylor is a great and fantastic person so don’t bag on her and i would have thought to love country until i heard her, so my point is she is young and free let her be her by the by love

  • OMG taylor you’re just so amazing!! Just don’t care about wat others can say, you’re a great singers and you have a good heart. I love your style…you rock! Please don’t change!

  • what kind of website is this? honestly? this is the dumbest website! promoting good, honest, kind, famous people to drink and act stupid? do you guys want the world to be full of lindsay lohans and brittany spears? as soon as i figure out how i’m reporting this website. taylor swift is amazing. she doesnt need to drink or do bad things to get attention. she is perfect the way she is.

  • It does no harm to remind us how untanural black is and to point out examples of saturated greys . If anything, this should help us exploit the effect when we want to.My grandad used to carry a piece of black velvet in his paintbox to help gauge the true colours of dark images. This is enlightening.Sorry.
