The onscreen chemistry between Taylor Swift and actor Zach Gilford’s characters in her new ‘Ours’ video feels natural, and director Declan Whitebloom confirms that in the behind-the-scenes clip below: “He and Taylor got on like a house on fire, which always helps when they’re meant to be a couple. There wasn’t much acting involved.”
The fourth video from Taylor Swift‘s behind the scenes of ‘Ours’ series focuses on one thing: location. The ‘Ours’ video was filmed in the Nashville area — and though it’s only a four-minute long video, Swift and the crew hit an office building, a house, a public bus and even Nashville’s airport to shoot scenes that wound up in the final product. In fact, the singer states that the airport was actually closed for their use.
“The story of this video is the ups and downs of this girl’s day in the life,” Taylor Swift begins in the video below, which is behind-the-scenes clip No. 3 of 13 from her ongoing ‘Ours’ web series. “This girl hates her job. It’s boring, and every single day she doesn’t even know what she’s really doing at this job.”
“This is my second time working with Declan as a director,” Taylor Swift says to start off the second behind-the-scenes webisode of her new ‘Ours’ video. In the first part of the series, Swift briefly introduced the video’s director, Declan Whitebloom, who also directed the video for ‘Mean.’ In this clip, she explains in detail why she’s so comfortable being in cahoots with him.
Taylor Swift is thoroughly enjoying her life in the spotlight, and what else could she really need? The chart-topping songstress has millions of fans, countless awards and even more hit singles. And though she doesn’t currently have a boyfriend, Swift told ‘60 Minutes‘ that one day she’d love to be married with kids — lots of kids.
On Tuesday, Taylor Swift wrapped up the U.S. leg of her Speak Now Tour with a second showing at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, and as expected, she went out with a bang. The 21-year-old country-pop hitmaker invited two guests to the stage to help her close out the tour: her best friend Selena Gomez and the legendary James Taylor.
It seems like Taylor Swift has friends in all kinds of places — she thanked more than a dozen peers in her CMA Entertainer of the Year speech alone. On Friday (Nov. 18), during her concert in Columbia, S.C., the ‘Ours’ hitmaker added Darius Rucker to the list of stars she’s performed with.
Taylor Swift understands the responsibilities of being a country music superstar, and she isn’t running from them. A preview of Swift’s interview with ’60 Minutes’ anchor Lesley Stahl — seen below — shows the 21-year-old singer talking about facing up to fan expectations.
Up until recently, Taylor Swift fans could only snag bonus tracks from ‘Speak Now’ if they bought the deluxe version of the album at their nearest Target store. However, Ms. Swift does not want to deprive her tech savvy fans of these songs for any longer, so the 21-year-old songstress has released the bonus tracks to iTunes.
Despite the fact that she’s still heavily touring her ‘Speak Now’ album, Taylor Swift is already imagining her 2012 album coming to life onstage. In an interview backstage at the 2011 CMA Awards — immediately after collecting the Entertainer of the Year prize for the second time — the singer spoke from the heart about just how much she loves her job and what we can expect from her forthcoming release.
