Here's a surprise i'd want- Taylor Swift showing up at your wedding!




True story- when i got married last year, i was hoping Eminem would show up at my wedding to surprise me.

Well that didn't happen!

One lucky couple however had something similar happen for them- Taylor Swift surprised them at their wedding! How cool is that?  Let me start from the beginning.









Max Singer and Kenya Smith were getting married on Saturday at the Brant Beach Yacht Club in Brant Beach, New Jersey when Taylor showed up! How did she even know about them? Turns out Max's Sister, Ali Singer, had written to Taylor Swift in April, telling her about how Max had married his wife first in their mother's hospital room, as she was dying, so she would not miss out on her son's wedding. She even told Taylor, that the mother and son had danced to the her new song 'Blank Space' in the hospital room, and shortly after the mother died. It must have moved Taylor, because she showed up at the wedding and even led a sing along to the song 'Blank Space'.

She took pictures and then gave them a special card with one line from the song 'Blank Space' written on it:

Hope some people like Funke and Mr A are reading this cos there WILL be an anniversary! So hint hint cough cough!

So if your wish could be granted, which Nigerian celebrity would you like to crash your wedding and surprise you?

Shade it like Taylor...

Here is a guide to shading like Taylor Swift.




1. When the 'enemy' says or does something, DO NOT REACT.
Taylor famously tweeted at Nicki when she thought Nicki Minaj was taking shots at her last year and that backfired so now when Kanye's song and diss came up this year, our girl didn't say a thing.
Remember, the whole world is refreshing your page to see what you will say or do so KEEP YOUR COOL.

2. Win
Instead of wasting your energy on bad blood, channel it into you. Rise, win, and succeed. Afterall, you know what they say about success right?
Congrats to Taylor on her grammy wins last night. She is now the only woman to have won a grammy for 'Best Album', twice.
While we may not all win grammys in Versace, we can still celebrate our successes and shade!

3. Empower and Shade the beep off!
Taylor Swift's acceptance at the Grammys was on the face of it, an encouragement for women and an admonishment of the 'male dominated' system.
But if you of course know the background to it, with Kanye insisting he made Taylor famous on his song, "Famous", then you see what she is really saying.
Taylor in one speech, told the Grammys and the Music industry we need more diversity for women, boasted about being the only woman to have won Best Album twice, encouraged women and girls, AND told Kanye to sit down.
Queen T anyone?

Now you've learnt how to shade it like Taylor, go ye forth and enjoy!!!

Excerpt from Taylor's speech: 
"As the first woman to win Album of the Year at the Grammys twice, I wanna say to all the young women out there: there are going to be people along the way who will try to undercut your success, or take credit for your accomplishments or your fame, but if you just focus on the work and you don’t let those people sidetrack you, someday when you get where you’re going, you’ll look around and you’ll know that it was you and the people who love you that put you there, and that will be the greatest feeling in the world,”
