KONY 2012

As Taylor Swift fans, we know that the reason we love and adore her so much is not only because of her awesome songwriting skills and the fun quirky personality she possesses, but ALSO because she is a beautiful, down-to-earth person that LOVES to give and help others.

She has:

• donated £13000 of her own money to "Children in Need"
• donated $500,000 to the Community Foundation's Nashville Flood Relief Fund
• performed at the Hope For Haiti earthquake relief telethon, answering donation phone calls during the event
• recently raised $750,000 for tornado victims by turning a dress rehearsal into a benefit show for 13,000 fans.

(only to name a few)

and now...KONY 2012 needs her support.

USA Weekend

Taylor is the cover girl for USA Weekend! She did a brand new photoshoot and an interview which you can read below. There also a behind the scenes video of the photoshoot which you can watch here.


In a rehearsal space near downtown Nashville, Taylor Swift is working on songs for her summer tour. Dressed casually in a summery blue and tan dress with her hair pulled back in a single braid that hangs below her shoulders, she plays a crystal-studded guitar while she sings a sad waltz, then switches it out for a banjo as her band kicks into her latest country hit, Mean.

Now 21 and living on her own since moving out of her parents' house 20 miles away last June, Swift calls her midtown Nashville penthouse “a wonderland” of barn-wood floors, reclaimed brick walls and mismatched kitchen décor.

“The best thing about being on your own is having that sanctuary,” she says, settling her slender frame into a leather couch. “That place that's yours.”

This week, Swift lands in Columbus, Ohio, on the first leg of an ambitious, six-month North American tour that takes her to 30 states and Canada. And Wednesday, the country star is up for three awards at the CMT Music Awards.

Before she hit the road again, we asked the country sensation if she would answer some of the thousands of questions submitted online from USA WEEKEND readers.
