In relation to the previous post,

I just watched a bunch of youtube videos. Turns out that Taylor Swift's 7-month Fearless Tour to a total of 57 venues around the world has been organized by the 19 year-old herself. From designing the entire concert stage with rising platforms, spotlights and LED screens throughout the backdrop and the runway in front, to ideas she prefers for guitar solos in her songs (in the video, she actually said one of the parts were too noodly a solo, and literally suggested a simpler set of scales and notes with her tongue. like, you know, when you mimic an electric guitar solo. "Teow neow neow neow ten ne ne ne ne jang". She even has an 8-costume-change set throughout each concert that she hides in a secret quick changing room, designed into the stage itself. She ran the auditions for her backup dancers and handpicked each of them to her liking. She put forward ideas for opening acts to her shows like having on the concert main screen a video of her in an interview that happened before the concert, and at the beginning of the concert, rising from below the stage, on a platform, she was actually on one of two couches, with an interviewer, and she starts her songs there. She signs all the documents, initially set the stage lights placements, talks to record labels and local radio stations...

Come on man, a WHOLE TOUR.

She is commanding and organizing people twice her age, or for that matter, THREE TIMES HER AGE. What kind of teen does this kinda thing on our planet?! No, seriously?! Does Leona Lewis do that? Or Miley Cirus? I'm really not sure, so please tell me. Hmm. But anyway, on top of that all, my favourite part is when she's off from rehearsing, she returns to this little 19-year old girl amazed at weird and immature things like drinking water while deforming the shape of the water bottle by vacuuming out all the water with your mouth.

I don't think I'll ever stop saying this, but, Taylor... I'm never gonna understand you.

Ever.

And you winning 4 awards at the Country Music Awards 2009 ain't helping me do that.

But, congratulations though. =)
