Taylor Swift's '22' Gets Everyone Singing In New Diet Coke Ad

It's one big karaoke party — across the country — in bubbly 'Music That Moves' commercial.

It's a big old karaoke party in Taylor Swift's new Diet Coke ad. Released just a week after Beyoncé's hot "Mirrors" commercial for Pepsi, Taylor's "Music That Moves" spot is fun because, well, as they say, only water can put out fire.

To put it simply, the immediate difference between the pop stars' new ads is that Beyoncé's Pepsi promo is all about, well, Beyoncé. In a three-way mirror, present-day Beyoncé dances with images of "Bootylicious" Bey, "Single Lady" Bey and "Crazy in Love" Bey, among other video alter egos, which means there are at least four Beyoncés winding and grinding ... and giving four times the sexy.

So how does Taylor compete with all the steam wafting from Queen Bey? She doesn't even try. Instead, Diet Coke takes the warm and um, fizzy, route (it's diet soda after all). In the clip, Taylor is seen coming up with the lyrics for her hit song "22." Soon everyone from grown men driving down the street to restaurant cooks to office clerks find themselves singing along to Swift's sticky-sweet pop/country tune. And it all culminates in the wide-eyed singer hitting the stage to rock out.

(It's also worth noting for those keeping track that while Taylor's ad features her smash "22," Beyoncé's ad premiered a new track called "Grown Woman.") But the message in Swift's ad is clear: the pop star makes and breaks records and, through it all, Diet Coke helps her "Stay Extraordinary." "I've said for years that Diet Coke just 'gets me' and my lifestyle. I'm so excited about our new partnership," Swift said in a press release when the partnership was announced back in January.

Swift currently on the road for her Red Tour, and she performed Sunday at the ACM Awards. As part of her partnership with the soda brand, Diet Coke share videos and messages to give fans a backstage pass into the singer's busy life.

Taylor announced via tweet that her ad will make its television debut tonight (April 11) during "American Idol."

Taylor Swift opens up on her future: 'I have no idea if I'm going to get married or be single forever'

The lovelorn singer reveals she has no idea where she’ll be emotionally from one minute to the next.

Taylor Swift is unsure right now where the road of life will take her.
In a recent revealing interview in Wonderland Magazine, the famously known lovestruck singer says she doesn't know if happily ever after is in her future--but she's ok with it.


"I've kind of realized that I have no idea where I'm going to be next year, or in six months, or in two months."
"I just have no idea and I'm kind of into that," she admits on the uncertainty.

"I know where I'll be on tour in two months,but no idea where I'm going to be mentally, emotionally, dreams, goals, wishes, hopes. I have no idea if I'm going to get married or be single forever or have a family or just be on my own."

The star, who's chart-topping break-up ballads include " I Knew You Were Trouble" and "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" goes on to talk about what it feels like to really be heartbroken.
"It's very complex; you're never feeling just sad. Maybe you wake up and you feel sad, and then you get angry, and then you feel like 'I'm fine', and then you feel confident, and then you feel a sense of doubt, and then you're insecure, and then there's jealousy, and then you're back to sad - and then you feel fine again."
Swift has been romantically linked and split with some of Hollywood's hottest bachelors including Jake Gyllenhaall, Taylor Lautner, John Mayer and most recently One Direction's Harry Styles.
When it comes to relationships, the 23-year-old blond beauty explains that for her, "[they] are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it's a green light."

Taylor Swift, John Mayer Light Up Stage At ACM Awards

A dose of Nashville sparkle took over Sin City on Sunday night when country music's biggest names took over MGM Grand Garden Arena for the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards. Hosted by Entertainer of the Year nominees Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, the glitzy Las Vegas show highlighted some of country music's finest musical moments from the last 12 months.
Collaborations and divas defined the night's performances. Miranda Lambert took the stage for "Mama's Broken Heart" and Carrie Underwood brought "Two Black Cadillacs" to the show. Although she didn't nab any trophies, Taylor Swift joined one-time song muse Tim McGraw and "American Idol" judge Keith Urban on McGraw's "Highway Don't Care."

At another point during the ACMs, John Mayer, who has been sporting a cowboy hat as of late, put that vibe to good use when he took the stage with Brad Paisley for Paisley's "Beat This Summer." Hunter Hayes had a special surprise during his performance of "I Want Crazy." The up-and-coming country star was joined by the legendary Stevie Wonder for "Sir Duke."

In the end, though, Bryan would eventually go home the winner of the night's big prize, beating out his co-host. "It's OK, buddy," Shelton said. "Congratulations, buddy. You won Entertainer of the Year in your first — and last — year of hosting the ACM Awards."

But Shelton did go on to share the Song of the Year prize for "Over You" with his wife Lambert. She also won for Single Record of the Year for the single, as well as Female Vocalist of the Year.

"I didn't know what to say about song of the year because my husband was about to make me bawl, and I always bawl, so I was trying to hold it together," she told the room when she took the stage with Shelton to accept the Song of the Year prize. "As a songwriter, having your songs and your lyrics be recognized by your peers is pretty much as good as it gets.

Other winners include Jason Aldean (Male Vocalist of the Year), Little Big Town (Vocal Group of the Year), Florida Georgia Line (New Artist of the Year), Chief by Eric Church (Album of the Year), Thompson Square (Vocal Duo of the Year), "Tornado" by Little Big Town (Video of the Year),"The Only Way I Know" with Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Eric Church (Vocal Event of the Year) and Dallas Davidson (Songwriter of the Year).

Justin Timberlake Celebrates Career Best Album Figures; Could He Break 1 Million In The US?

Justin Timberlake is back on top of the pop world again, with his first album in seven years smashing into the top of the UK album charts, and expected to do much the same when the Billboard charts reveal their own US album list later this week.
Billboard reports that The 20/20 Experience was the fastest-selling title of the year when debuting at number one in the UK yesterday, notching up sales of around 106,000 copies in its first week, pushing David Bowie’s own comeback The Next Day down to second spot (it sold 35,000 copies after selling 91,000 the previous week.)
It’s the most successful first week on the UK albums chart Timberlake’s ever had, and it barnstorming success looks set to roll over back to his native America.

Billboard say that experts are predicting that Timberlake is a runaway shoe-in for the top spot when the album charts for America are released on Wednesday (March 27, 2013) and are claiming it could sell as many as 950,000 to 975,000 copies. That would make it the fastest selling US album since Taylor Swift’s Red last year, and if it was to surpass the predictions and breach 1 million copies sold it would become the first to do so since Swift’s Autumn 2012 effort, and just the 19th since 1991, when SoundScan started tracking sales. We never doubted you for an instant, Justin.

Taylor Swift rumored to be in new relationship with John John Florence

On the heels of the news that Taylor Swift wrote “I Knew You Were Trouble” about One Direction star Harry Styles, the 23-year-old singer may have already set her sights on someone new.
A source close to the pair told Life & Style that “he and Taylor have been texting.”

The source went on to say that the “Red” singer made the first move.

“Apparently, she contacted him,” said the source. “I don’t think they have hung out yet. They’ve just been chatting.”

The 20-year-old surfer was careful not to reveal too much when he was questioned about their relationship during an interview on Australian television.

“Uh, I’m not supposed to comment about that,” he said.

Perhaps because some have openly criticized Swift for going through boyfriends quickly, the Hawaiian is aiming to take things slowly.

“John John doesn’t want to ruin things, so he’s being careful not to say too much,” the source continued.

Opposing Views was hesitant to confirm the rumors.

Although the mag’s source claims that “everyone in the surf industry is talking about them hooking up,” the news outlet remains skeptical.

A source close to Swift told Gossip Cop that the rumor is not true.

“She doesn’t even know him,” the source claimed.
