March 28, 20196 yr People Now Jennifer Nettles talks collaborating with Taylor Swift on 'Babe' - "She's such a professional". 'Babe' is nominated for the ACM for best video. “She wrote the song and actually the idea for the [video] treatment was hers as well. She’s such a professional. She’s so good at what she does. She’s been doing this since she was, not only a young woman, a young girl. She’s had a lot of time to really hone her craft and she’s so great at what she does. She’s really tapped in.” Nettles and her Sugarland partner Kristian Bush surprised Swift fans during a Reputation Tour stop in Arlington, Texas, and she says the night was a memorable one. “The tour was huge. I have never heard such screaming. If you want to know what 100,000 girls screaming sounds like, I heard it. I was blown away. Just sonically even, the love that is coming back at you.”

April 17, 20196 yr Taylor Swift and Khalid to Perform at the 2019 TIME 100 Gala time.com Taylor Swift and Khalid will perform at the 2019 TIME 100 gala on April 23, a celebration of TIME’s annual list of the world’s 100 most influential people. Fresh off her record-breaking Reputation stadium tour and at the precipice of her next creative era, Swift spent the year continuing to earn acclaim. “Taylor makes the job of creating music for millions of people look easy,” fellow pop star Shawn Mendes wrote in a tribute to Swift for the TIME 100 issue. “It all comes from her — her belief in magic and love, and her ability to be as honest and raw as possible. She’s the master of putting the perfect amount of thought into not overthinking, and that’s why her music connects so well.” Khalid, who was nominated for five Grammys, including Best New Artist, last year, recently hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with his sophomore album, Free Spirit. Alicia Keys, who says she was first introduced to Khalid through his 2016 debut single, “Location,” says the 21-year-old singer-songwriter is “totally unique.” “He’s a beautiful writer with the ability to take human concepts and make you understand and feel them,” Keys wrote. “He has a full, powerful voice that is somehow unassuming and smooth at the same time. He’s accessible—almost like you’ve met somebody like him before, although there’s nobody else like him.” Both Swift and Khalid are named on this year’s TIME 100 list. They follow in the footsteps of Jennifer Lopez and Shawn Mendes, who brought down the house at last year’s gala.
April 17, 20196 yr Time 100 most influential people 2019 Icons Taylor Swift by Shawn Mendes "I’ve been a Taylor Swift fan for as long as I can remember. But it wasn’t until I met and got to know her that I understood how wonderful a person she truly is. Taylor makes the job of creating music for millions of people look easy. It all comes from her—her belief in magic and love, and her ability to be as honest and raw as possible. She’s the master of putting the perfect amount of thought into not overthinking, and that’s why her music connects so well. I was so lucky to be able to open for a handful of her stadium shows on the 1989 World Tour. And I quickly learned that the magic of Taylor Swift doesn’t come from the lights, dancers or fireworks (although all of that is incredible) but from the electrifying connection that she has with the people who are there to see her. There’s an overwhelming feeling in the air. The feeling of your heart racing in your chest with excitement—so much so that by the time you get to “Love Story,” all you want to do is pick up your phone and text every person you know to say how much you love them. The feeling is so thick, you feel like you could reach out and grab it to keep forever. Taylor makes anyone older feel young again and anyone young feel they can do anything. It’s so rare and so special. If there is one thing I want to achieve in my career and life, it’s that." Mendes is a Grammy-nominated musician ph Pari Dukovic
