By Daily Mail Reporter

New abode? According to reports, country music singing sensation Taylor Swift is close to buying a $3.55 million home in Los Angeles

Her home may currently be in Nashville Tennessee, but it appears that Taylor Swift may also be on the verge of becoming a Californian girl.

According to reports, the 21-year-old country music singing sensation is close to buying a $3.55 million home in Los Angeles.

Taylor is said to have been looking at a 'small, charming and very secluded' property in the upscale neighbourhood of Beverly Hills.

Inside pictures of the four-bedroom and four-bathroom property show a bright and airy abode with just the right amount of opulence for the mostly modest music star.

Inside the white weatherboard home stands a cosy living room decorated in creams and warm reds.

And if Taylor is an avid book reader, she has plenty of room to hold a substantial book collection in a stunning wood-panelled library.

The roomy kitchen is perfect for entertaining with it's large cook-top and extensive bench-space.

And with elegant glass cupboards there is expansive storage space.

The guest bathroom is possibly the most luxurious rooms in the house with it's rich floral wallpaper and gold wash basin.

Taylor will be able to rest easy in the stunning master bedroom fit for a queen.

The spacious room features a king-size four-poster bed, soft carpeting and sophisticated black and cream-etched wall paper.

The neutral theme continues in the ensuite bathroom, with it's all-white tiling and vanity.

The new property features a tennis court and sits on almost 1.5 acres of land which lends plenty of space for outdoor entertaining.

While there is no confirmation Taylor has purchased the home, the city of Nashville can rest easy knowing that they won't be losing their country darling permanently.

The country star will still be living full time in the state.

A source told an US newspaper she is simply sick of staying in hotels when she visits Southern California.

'[She] bought the house so she doesn't have to stay in hotels when she is in LA,' they said.

Taylor will also have plenty of room for any house guests if she wishes.

After her brief fling with actor Jake Gyllenhaal, the singer is now said to be dating Country Strong star Garrett Hedlund.

She apparently spent the evening with the 26-year-old actor in Nashville recently.

'It was their first time going out,' a source tells America's Us Weekly.

'They've been emailing for a while, and she hinted they should get together.'

While it wasn't too much of a wild night, Tron star Hedlund was allegedly back at his Nashville hotel room by 12:30, it could be a potential new relationship for Swift.

Taylor who won Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards on April 3, also counts Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas as ex-boyfriend and has also been linked to singer John Mayer and more recently, Glee star Chord Overstreet.

The source continued: 'She has actually spent time getting to know Garrett.

'He's cute - and he's into country music! [She] likes that he's a normal guy.'

Did Taylor Swift just disrespect stay-at-home moms?

Did Taylor Swift just disrespect stay-at-home moms?

Taylor Swift recently got back from a quickie tour in Europe, as you could probably tell from the multiple photo op sightings of Swifty over the past few weeks. For some reason, I wouldn’t think that Swifty’s… er, “talent” would translate to other countries very well.

I mean, I get why American girls like her music, and more importantly, I get why those girls’ moms like Swifty’s music, but it seems like Swifty isn’t really singing to a global audience. Maybe I’m wrong. Maybe she’s huge in Amsterdam, Paris and Prague (?).

Anyway, while she’s on tour, she doing press here and there, and now we’ve got a new interview she did with The Telegraph. I’ll admit it, at this point, I’m totally over Swifty. But she said a few things in this piece that made me like her, especially when she talked about her fans.

I’ll give her an enormous amount of credit for that alone: this girl respects her fans, and she takes time for her fans. I totally respect that. Of course, the songs about boys and ponies and how many times she got dumped over the phone… I don’t respect that. The full Telegraph piece is here, and here are some excerpts:

    ‘I always write songs about my life,’ says Taylor Swift. ‘And if you’re horrible to me I’m going to write a song about you and you are not going to like it. That’s how I operate. I’m the only person who knows who [my songs] really are about and there’s comfort in that,’ she says with a hint of a smile.

    On not wanting to promote a “sexy” image: ‘I don’t want people to think of me as sexy. It wasn’t a career decision… it’s just a life decision. I like wearing pretty dresses and I like trying out new styles but I don’t feel comfortable taking my clothes off. I wouldn’t wear tiny amounts of clothing in my real life so I don’t think it’s necessary to wear that stuff in photo-shoots.’ Do people ever try to talk her into it? ‘Not anymore, no.’

    Meeting with fans for hours at a time: ‘I’ve had some hilarious conversations in those meet-and-greet lines,’ she says, laughing. ‘I’ve met many of the girls more than once. I mean, I’ve been on tour since I was 16 and I always do meet-and-greets before and after shows so you kind of build these friendships with people. I have girls come up to me and tell me exactly what’s going on in their love lives. They always come out with these bold confessions, like’ – Swift puts on the voice of a wronged, righteous woman – ‘“I’m so glad I’m at your concert tonight. My boyfriend just left me.”’ What do you say to that? ‘Um… Well, I’ll commiserate with them but it depends how they said it and how all right they seem. If they seem like they’re really upset about it then you’ve gotta give them a hug.’ Have you given many hugs? ‘Yes!’

    Keeping up with fans: Her MySpace page has had 116,878,768 visitors and she has 18,869,687 Facebook ‘friends’. Does she have people looking after the sites for her? ‘No, it’s just me,’ she says, laughing when she sees my incredulous stare. ‘Yeah. I spend a bit of time online every day but it’s worth it because that’s how [the fans and I] keep in touch. And what else am I doing? I’m jet-lagged every single day and awake at 4am, so…’

    Getting a job as a songwriter at the age of 14: Sony/ATV Tree asked her to join its writing team, composing songs for its artists. So her family upped sticks: her father, who is a stockbroker, her mother, who is a housewife (’But,’ Swift says, ’she was a working professional before that, so my parents are both really smart people’) and her younger brother, Austin, all said goodbye to Pennsylvania. She now lives ‘two blocks away from Music Row and I drive those streets every day. It’s so crazy to think that now things are a lot different.’

    Needing to be in control: She doesn’t drink - ‘I worry I might come off in a way that I can’t control.’ It’s also why she doesn’t raise her voice – ‘If you’re yelling you’re the one who’s lost control of the conversation’ – and it’s the reason she called her last album ‘Speak Now’.

    On her privacy: ‘I don’t typically talk in great detail about my personal life in interviews,’ she says, ‘but this album reveals a lot about my life in the last two years, things that people didn’t necessarily know before it came out. So if you’re not saying anything about certain details in interviews but you’re saying it in an album…’ You’re choosing when and where to speak? ‘Yes. So calling it “Speak Now” seemed appropriate.’

    Is she writing anything at the moment? ‘I always have to be writing. I’m writing in my hotel rooms and on tour buses.’ What about? ‘Ugh,’ Swift groans. ‘Lots of different things. You’ll hear.’

[From The Telegraph]

Um, what was that part about her mother? “She was a working professional before that, so my parents are both really smart people.” Did Swifty just say that stay-at-home moms aren’t as smart as working moms? You in danger, girl! Seriously, what the hell? It seems like a totally bizarre aside about one’s mother. I think it’s the “so” that’s messing me up. “She was a working professional before that… my parents are both really smart people.” See, that’s a bit better.

Wait, isn’t Swifty’s mom super-involved in her life? Yeah, her mom is his momager, managing Swifty’s every burp, fart and song about ponies, boys and glitter. Her mom even gets a say in boyfriends, and The Jake Gyllenhaal Cuddlefest Debacle might have even been Mother Swifty’s doing. Oh, momager. Are you ever a good idea?

Oh, and this is just a random observation that I finally realized - Swifty weara false eyelashes ALL THE TIME. Like, as daywear, nightwear, going to the grocery store, she’s always wearing false eyelashes and pastel eyeshadow. THAT is what gives her the heavy-lidded, sneaky, contemptuous look (that I attribute to her).

Taylor Swift shows her dainty frame in a babydoll dress

By DAILY MAIL REPORTER

Filling up: Country singer Taylor Swift wears a babydoll dress as she visits Fogo de Chao in Beverly Hills

Her pretty babydoll dress does not give much room for overindulging.

But this was the look that Taylor Swift chose to wear to the all-you-can-eat meat restaurant Fogo du Chao in Los Angeles.

The nightspot is famed for its huge portions of all kinds of flesh served up on giant spits, with diners given a red and green card to indicate if they want their plate loaded back up.

But it didn't look like dainty country singer Taylor had overindulged, with her sky blue dress showing no evidence of gluttony.

The 21-year-old was at the venue with a group of friends, who all crammed into a Mini Cooper for their drive home.

After her brief fling with actor Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor is now said to be dating Country Strong star Garrett Hedlund.

The Story of Us singer spent the evening with the 26-year-old actor in Nashville last week.
