What’s Next for Taylor Swift in 2010?
There is no doubt to anyone in the entertainment industry that country sweetheart Taylor Swift is the Breakout Star of 2009. People Magazine has named her as one of the “Most Interesting People of the Year,” and will be featuring her on the cover of its special year-end issue “25 Most Intriguing People of 2009.” Meanwhile, the prestigious Associated Press has crowned her “Entertainer of the Year.” Danielle L. Kiracofe, entertainment editor for Stars and Stripes newspaper, and one of those surveyed by the AP, said, “In a time of ‘made’ musicians, she writes her own songs and has her own sparkly style. She’s managed to do all of this with grace, class and poise – and without uttering a swear word, dancing on a pole or wearing next to nothing. At the age of 20.”
The new country songs from her debut album “Fearless” were hailed as critical and commercial successes. Indeed, from music to television, from fashion to movies, the crossover superstar has definitely conquered them all this year, and there are no signs that she intends to slow down anytime soon. If there was anybody who did not know her before MTV’s VMAs last September, the stunt Kanye West pulled made sure she was on everybody’s radar by the time the closing credits rolled. As the decade comes to a close, and 2010 rolls in, the question now is: What’s next for Taylor Swift in 2010?
For starters, Swift is slated to perform in the 52nd annual Grammy Awards on January 31st, where she is also nominated for a eight awards, including Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Fearless, Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for You Belong With Me. Of her eight nominations, the Tennessee native has said, “To be recognized by the Grammys is the ultimate honor, and all I know is that when I write about this in my journal tonight, it will be in all capital letters and underlined four times.” She further stated, “And there will be lots of exclamation points in this entry because I never imagined I’d get to write this kind of journal entry.”
On the personal front, Taylor is dating hunky teenager Taylor Lautner, who plays the werewolf Jacob in the highly successful Twilight franchise. The two share screen time with big-name stars including Julia Roberts, Jamie Foxx, Anne Hathaway, Patrick Dempsey, and Ashton Kutcher in the romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day,” which is set for release around Valentine’s Day 2010.
The latest rumor is that the young country cutie is being eyed to play the role of Supergirl in a possible remake of the 1984 movie of the same title. Hollywood experts say that, “She has all the right elements to be a positive role model to young girls” and “With the times being different and a young great female role model starring in it, it will be a hit! Although there have been reports that this information is false, speculations abound whether Taylor will be able to pull off a heroine role. But everything she has accomplished just this year, who’s to say that she can’t don a red cape and be every little girl’s favorite super hero?
