It’s classic Taylor, don’t you think?

Singer/songwriter Taylor Swift bursts onto the cover of InStyle magazine’s June issue in a citrus colored shift dress from Victoria Beckham‘s fashion line.

The Speak Now superstar is known for dating a few high profile celebrities (Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and Jake Gyllenhaal for example) and writing about her love life (for better or worse) in song and no matter how bittersweet the ending is, the singer isn’t soured on love.

“There are no rules when it comes to love,” Swift told the magazine. “I just try to let love surprise me because you never know who you’re going to fall in love with.”

For Taylor it’s about being open to the possibilities.

“You never know who’s going to come into your life—and for me, when I picture the person I want to end up with, I don’t think about what their career is, or what they look like,” she says. “I picture the feeling I get when I’m with them.”

“I have this really high priority on happiness and finding something to be happy about,” she concludes.

Taylor Swift got a very public Valentine from Owl City musician Adam Young.

Young says he just recently decoded the hidden message Swift put in the liner notes of her Speak Now album and discovered the secret word in the lyrics of “Enchanted” is ADAM.

Swift has said about that song:

“It was about this guy that I met in New York City, and I had talked to him on email before, but I had never met him,” Swift told the magazine in November 2010. “Meeting him, it was just this overwhelming feeling of, ‘I really hope that you’re not in love with somebody.’ And the whole entire way home, I just remember … sitting there thinking, am I ever gonna talk to this person again? It was that feeling of pining away for a romance that may never even happen.”

Young has composed his own words to her song “Speak Now” and tells her how awesome he thinks she is and how impressed he is.

On the band’s blog he writes:

“Everything about you is lovely. You’re an immensely charming girl with a beautiful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale, and above all, I just want you to know … I was enchanted to meet you too.”

Swift, who is in Asia on tour hasn’t commented on her Valentine song. What do you think?

Wintry scenes with snowmen and trees sprinkled with sparkling white snow are just some of the idealized holiday images Taylor Swift has conjured up for her Christmas cards. The “Speak Now” singer has a very successful line with American Greetings and these new card feature “joyous winter scenes, delicious holiday cookies and, of course, snow-covered Christmas trees,” according to a press release, as well as Taylor’s signature “heart hands” image.

The boxed sets of cards are in stores now.

Covering the holiday issue, Taylor Swift is red hot for Seventeen magazine. The 20 year-old music superstar wears a one shoulder fire engine red dress with gold spots, perfect for holiday parties.

The Speak Now singer, who is rumored to be seeing movie star Jake Gyllenhaal, had this to say about love:

“I haven’t had that one great love, which is good. I don’t want that to be in the past. I want it to be in the future.”

Swift also shared that she’s always loved Seventeen magazine as it was the first magazine she got a subscription to.

Taylor Swift is making history this month. The 20 year-old music superstar broke three Billboard records last week by having 11 of her songs on the chart at once, the most songs written by one artist charting in the same week and all those songs are off one album.

On Tuesday November 9th, Swift, who has had some intense ups and downs this week, holds yet another title: BMI’s Country Songwriter of the Year - the youngest person ever awarded that honor.

Swift became the youngest recipient of the prize, telling the crowd, “It’s been a really emotional week for me.” And while this week has been filled with highs, it has also had its share of lows as she attended the funeral of a friend on Monday. She added, “He was 21, and I used to play my songs for him first.”

Congratulations on the record-winning weeks, Taylor. It’s unfortunate it was at the same time she was dealing with losing someone so close to her.

Tonight she will perform at the CMA’s (Country Music Awards) and perhaps pick up another trophy as she is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year. It is rumored she will sing “Back To December,” the emotionaly song reportedly written about Taylor Lautner.

Taylor Swift stopped by the Toronto based MuchMusic show to promote her album Speak Now. The “Dear John” singer paused outside the studio before heading in and posed with fans.

Swift is having a fantastic record-breaking week. She has set the Billboard record for having 11 of her songs off one album (and all written by her) on the chart at the same time. Amazing!

Taylor Swift is a marketing executive’s dream come true. Everything she puts her name to turns into a mega-seller – just like her latest album, Speak Now. The 20 year old country singer is set to launch a scent collection in 2011 and hopes are it will turn out to be as successful as her sundress line with L.E.I. or her greeting card line. Said Swift:

“I have always loved how fragrance can shape a memory the way certain scents remind you of events and people that are imprinted in your thoughts,” Taylor said in a statement. “Lately I’ve been having fun experimenting with combining some of my favorite scents, so I’m really excited about working with Elizabeth Arden to develop my own unique fragrance.”

Taylor is just one of many musicians who offer a fragrance bearing their name. Justin Bieber recently announced his entry into the perfume biz, as did Lady Gaga. Britney Spears, Mariah Carey, Gwen Stefani and Fergie are just a few other musical celebs with a signature scent for sale.
