Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2013

Angels. Lingerie. Costumes. Taylor Swift. What an unlikely combination – or so we thought. Taylor was the headlining performer, along with Fall Out Boy, A Great Big World, and Neon Jungle. Taylor and VS Angel Lily Alderidge caused the entire swiftie fandom to freak out by posting pictures together backstage at the show while it was filming. The new BFFS seemed to have a lot of fun together and with model Cara 

Delevingne. The models also did lip sync video to "I Knew You Were Trouble" which was super cute (watch it here). 

So exactly how did Taylor become a part of the show? Well according to Ed Razek, the Chief Marketing Officer of Limited Brands, it all occurred while having dinner with Angel Lily Alderidge. He mentioned how great it would be to have Taylor perform at the show and Lily revealed that both she and Tay live in Nashville and are friends. She sent Tay a note and Taylor agreed to do it. 

Before the show Taylor stunned in a sparkly floral mini. 

Taylor opened the show along with Fall Out Boy joining them in singing their hit song “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark.” It was glorious and you can check it out here. She rocked the British flag in a sexy high lo dress and adorable top hat. Needless to say she was perfect and FOB was wonderful.

She returned to the stage for the final “scene” and performed “I Knew You Were Trouble.” She changed the song up slightly with an incredible high note that made a fantastic song an incredible song (watch here). She wore a bedazzled mini dress that was gorgeous. It was hard to tell if she was one of the models or not. Speaking of models, she and the Angels had some fun on stage, walking together or slapping butts in typical girl fashion. It was really fun to watch and clearly the models (all except 1) loved having her there. 

After the show the Angels/Models were having their “class” picture taken. During the photo session the models called out Taylor and asked her to join them. Taylor’s reaction? “What? Me?” The photographer’s answer: “Who can say no to Taylor swift?” and with that we have this picture:

 

Taylor's 24th Birthday

It's official: the queen is 24 years old.

Taylor spent her birthday in Australia this year and from the looks of it, she had a lot of fun. She hung out with her band, dancers, and other friends at a party in a rose garden. One of the most notable friends in attendance was Lorde. Taylor shared quite a few pictures of her special day with swifties every where, and a lot of these shots include roses. This has lead to a lot of speculation in the fandom about whether or not roses have something to do with the upcoming 5th album. I guess we'll know for sure soon enough.

               Here they are playing with sparklers:

One of the beautiful centerpieces (notice there are no red roses...):

Gorgeous.

What a beautiful group of ladies:
