For the second consecutive year, Taylor is Billboard’s most-played artist, topping their annual all-genre Artist Airplay chart with more than 1.128 million airplay detections in 2010.

In addition, with over 34 million tracks sold to date, Taylor remains the top selling digital artist in music history, again holding the #1 position atop Billboard’s chart of Top Selling Digital Artists.

Taylor Turns 21

Picture
Taylor Swift turns 21 on Monday (December 13), and she is getting some birthday wishes from many of her celebrity pals, who took to Twitter to show some love to the superstar and send her attention in honor of the milestone.

"Hey!! Today is my girlfrannn @'s 21st birthday!!!" Paramore leading lady Hayley Williams tweeted . "Holy  heck. She's all growed up. So blessed to know her. Tweet her some love!"

Selena Gomez got in on the action too, writing to her pal, "Happy birthday @!!! I love you so much!!"

Katy Perry also tweeted, "@ happy 21st gorgeous!"

Perez Hilton had a shout out for Ms. Swift, adding a Latino flair to his wishes: "@ ¡Feliz cumpleaños! #HappyBirthdayTaylor."

Swift got her birthday party started early Sunday, when she tweeted about some festivities that were already under way, sharing that her friends were ringing in another year with the singer.

"Snowflakes are flurrying down outside and it's my last day of being 20!" She wrote. "Tonight @ and @ knocked on my door — they brought a pizza with a lit 21 candle on it and bday hats. Now I'm dancing around my room alone to pink's greatest hits cd."

With her birthday so close to Christmas, the singer revealed to MTV newsthat she was planning to combine the two celebrations for her birthday party this year.

"The plans for the 21st birthday are probably going to be winter-themed. I love winter. I love Christmas," she said. "When I was a little kid and I was growing up, they'd always have a Santa Claus guy show up and take everybody's wishes or what they wanted for Christmas. I'm not gonna do that, but there'll definitely be lots of Christmas-themed things."


Peter Max Paints Taylor!

Picture
World-renowned pop artist Peter Max has painted a new portrait of Taylor Swift to commemorate her newest album, Speak Now, which was certified Triple-Platinum by the RIAA this week. And next week, Max’s iconic portraiture of 4-time Grammy winner Swift will be available to the public for the first time.

The Speak Now portrait is Max’s second time to immortalize Taylor’s album art -- he unveiled a series of four portraits of her Fearless album earlier this year in a series of gallery showings. Max has gifted his first Fearless original work to Taylor, but now the Max portraits, from both Fearless and Speak Now, are available as poster artwork and as commissioned originals. Starting Sunday (December 12th) Max’s Taylor Swift works will be sold exclusively in the TaylorSwift.com Online Store.

The Max / Swift relationship began when Max painted a portrait of Taylor’s Fearless album cover upon learning that Taylor was launching her 2010 Fearless tour in Tampa the same week that he had a gallery showing there. “I've been doing portraits of iconic musicians for so many years, and it is a pleasure to add Taylor Swift to the collection,” says Max. “She is one of the most beautiful and talented stars we have today.”

Taylor was thrilled when she learned of Max’s interest in doing the portrait, as she is a lifelong fan of his, having often seen his work on display in the Ocean Gallery in Stone Harbor, New Jersey. Swift remembered walking past the gallery window many times as a child and young teen, and was often stopped in her tracks by the vibrancy of Max’s works.

Max’s Fearless portraits have been featured in several gallery exhibitions, but were not available for sale. His Speak Now portrait has not been shown prior to today.

With paintings on exhibition in hundreds of museums and galleries worldwide, Peter Max and his vibrant colors have become part of the fabric of contemporary culture. Max has been successively called a Pop Icon, Neo Fauvist, Abstract Expressionist and the United States’ "Painter Laureate."

Max has a long-standing career as the preeminent Pop artist in America, and is the country’s most well known and most collected artist. He has achieved his place in history having painted for various Heads of State. Often incorporating iconic symbols of America into his work, Max has painted for six U.S. presidents, created the official artwork and poster for the Clinton Inauguration, his "Flag With Heart" impressionistic paintings of the American flag are in permanent installations in the Carter, Reagan and Bush presidential libraries in addition to his statue of Liberty paintings, which have become an annual painting tradition since America's Bicentennial, in 1976 and led to Max playing a lead role in the renovation of the Statue of Liberty. From art that appeared on the first U.S. 10-cent stamp bearing the title “Preserve the Environment,” to 235 U.S. Border murals greeting millions of people entering America each year, Peter Max seeks to capture themes of America at its finest in his art.
