The 2013 Oscars ceremony, hosted by Seth MacFarlane, started off with a bang. We knew there was gonna be at least one or two musical numbers, given the comedian's past musical turns for 'Family Guy,' but were you prepared for Harry Potter and Robin Boy Wonder singing and dancing together?

Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal Have Oscar Party Run-In

Bruce Mikells — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 12:09:55 +0000

Well those of us that follow Taylor know exactly what is about to happen, a number one hit is going to spring forth out of this little conversation. You know with all the great things Taylor has going for her, I feel for her. After all she is still just a young woman, she is growing up right in front of you and I and millions of others. Imagine if all of your dates and crushes and mistakes with members of the opposite sex were chronicled on the pages of the supermarket magazines. I am guessing it would hurt even more than it already hurts. Fortunately Taylor has her family and she has us, her fans. The people who, whether her kind of music is our cup of tea or not, still believe in chasing dreams. I hope for Jake's sake Taylor didn't take out her songwriting pad and start search for words that rhyme with "gun love a witch".
