It’s fair to say that Taylor Swift hasn’t always had the best luck when it comes to the MTV Video Music Awards – y’know, there was the infamous Kanye West incident of 2009 and last year’s pre-ceremony spat with Nicki Minaj – and this time around things aren’t much better.  Well, they’re a whole lot worse actually, as she hasn’t been nominated at all. Taylor had three videos – ‘New Romantics’, ‘Out Of The Woods’ and ‘Wildest Dream’ – eligible for an award, but she’s received a grand total of zero nods, while Beyonce is out in the lead with a whooping 11.

Taylor Swift has been confirmed as the co-writer of Calvin Harris’ recent hit with Rihanna, “This Is What You Came For”.  The chart-topping pop singer was widely rumoured to have penned the song for the Scottish DJ, who she dated for 15 months before they broke up in early June.  Swift’s representative told The Independent that the 26-year-old is listed as a co-writer under a Swedish alias: “Taylor Swift wrote “This Is What You Came For” under the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg,” she said.

When Apple announced its plans to offer customers a three-month trial of its Apple Music streaming service, Taylor Swift kicked off. The free trial meant no royalties for artists, and Tay-Tay wrote an open letter describing the terms as “shocking” and “disappointing” – and revealed she’d be withholding her music from the platform. Her tens of millions of fans magnified her protest and the tech giant made a rapid and uncharacteristic U-turn.

Now Swift and other music artists are publicly taking on YouTube, calling for better protections against copyright infringement and better pay for artists. But this time she’s unlikely to win.

Taylor Swift has a certain attachment to the number 1989 – it’s the year of her birth, the title of her latest multiplatinum album and the name of her record-smashing tour.  She may soon have a new favorite: 170 million. That’s the number of dollars she raked in over the past year, easily enough to land her the No. 1 spot on the FORBES Celebrity 100 list of the world’s highest-paid entertainers.
