Taylor wrote and co-produced the song with Jack Antonoff from the band fun, and the track appears on the ONE CHANCE original soundtrack album, released this week by Sony Music -- Taylor appears courtesy of Big Machine Records.

Taylor herself first shared the news of the song's release exclusively with fans, using a surprise announcement on Twitter (@taylorswift13) in the hours leading up to the song's iTunes posting. Taylor tweeted that, "Something I'm really excited about is happening very soon! Maybe even as soon as tonight!," then announced the big news and posted a link to the song on iTunes.

Taylor is nominated for five 2013 American Music Awards, including Artist of the Year.

LUCY HALE REVEALS PLANS FOR DEBUT SINGLE AND ALBUM

The pretty little secret is out! Over the last few days, Lucy Hale has alluded to her more than 3 million Twitter followers that she is about to get the music ball rolling. And now it's official!

Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, the 24-year old singer and actress first started singing along with the radio to her favorite Martina McBride, Faith Hill and Shania Twain songs.

Over the past several months, Lucy has been making treks to Music City to write and record her highly anticipated debut album with producer Mark Bright. This fall, she will hit the road to meet and perform for country radio programmers across the U.S. before her first single is released next year.

SCOTTY MCCREERY ADDS FALL DATES TO HIS SUCCESSFUL WEEKEND ROADTRIP TOUR 2013

Looks like country music's favorite college student will be taking more weekend road trips this fall. Due to the success of Scotty McCreery's Weekend RoadTrip Tour 2013, a fall run has been announced.

The platinum-selling country artist had multiple sell-outs and more dates have been added through the end of 2013 to meet demand. With more than 150 live shows under his belt across the U.S., Canada and the Philippines, McCreery has become a fan favorite appealing to all ages.

"To have a sell-out as a new artist is really amazing for me," says McCreery. "To have people want to come out and see our show means a lot. When you hear it is a sell-out, it hypes you up even more. We couldn't be happier with the way it is going. It's 90 high-energy minutes of new material and country classics combined with video, lights and fan interaction."

The show includes his gold-selling hits, "I Love You This Big" and "The Trouble With Girls," from his record-setting debut album Clear As Day. McCreery also features new material from his upcoming album being released this fall, as well as classics from artists who influenced him, such as Elvis, Garth Brooks and George Strait.

He co-wrote his current single, "See You Tonight," which is climbing the charts. He is in the studio now with Frank Rogers (Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, Trace Adkins) finishing his sophomore studio album. McCreery is also beginning his sophomore year at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

The Weekend Roadtrip tour dates will be included in McCreery's fall schedule. Fans can also meet McCreery by selecting his VIP Experience at select shows. Check

Kyrie Irving and Olivia Holt Team Up With PlayMG

Basketball All-Star, Kyrie Irving (of the NBA's Cleveland Cavaliers) and teen actress, Olivia Holt (Disney XD's "Kickin' It") have signed on in a unique ownership role with PlayMG Corp., announced by company today. The duo will play a significant role in the creative direction of the PlayMG Android gaming system, working closely with the company on specifics including device and case design, App recommendations, marketing campaigns and its social media platform.

Irving and Holt's mutual interest in App-based games prompted them to become immediate friends upon meeting, so when the opportunity to become partners at PlayMG Corp presented itself, they both jumped at the chance. "I am excited to team up with PlayMG! Spending many hours on the road during the season, I am always looking for new and different App-based games, so collaborating with an App-gaming system makes perfect sense for me," said Kyrie Irving. "I am looking forward to partnering with Olivia to bring something new and different to young people who want to game and share with them the PlayMG experience."

In addition to working with the company on the design and marketing of the device, Irving and Holt will also provide PlayMG users with something that no other company has access to: a weekly update on their favorite Apps. Starting this summer, both celebrities will send out a weekly update of their favorite new Apps, while also seeking feedback from fans on their favorite Apps, tips and tricks.

"My alignment with PlayMG couldn't have come at better time," said Olivia Holt. "When I'm filming, I have a lot of downtime on the set in between takes and during hair and makeup - it's the perfect time to get my game on. I'm looking forward to introducing a lot of App fans to some cool new games and to beating Kyrie every chance that I get!"

"Jessie" Star Peyton List Greets Fans in West Virginia

The beautiful and sweet actress, Peyton List, stopped by the Charleston Town Center, in Charleston, West Virginia to meet with fans. Hundreds of kids and their patient parents stood in line to wait their turn to say, "Hi" to one of the stars of the Disney Channel series "Jessie."

A fashion show kicked off the Meet and Greet event, followed by a dance routine by a local dance group. The routine ended with the dancers on bended knee, pointing to an escalator, with Peyton descending. She was met by radio DJ, Coach Kidd, from Electric 102.7. He asked Peyton a few questions like what state she calls home (She was born in Florida, calls New York home, but lives in California while taping "Jessie"). She also talked about how she got started in show business and how she felt about visiting West Virginia ("Everyone is so nice," she gushed).

A table was set up and the stream of young fans began. While waiting for each person to approach, Peyton would wave to those watching from the second and third floors. Once the eager fan made it to the table though, they had Peyton's full attention. She would ask their name and carefully sign a photo, making sure to spell everyone's name right.

A lot of fans brought new pairs of socks to donate that were collected for the Union Mission. Helping others, meeting their favorite actress... it was a great day for Peyton and for her fans!

HeartthrobYou'll Fall in Love With Listening to Tegan and Sara's "Heartthrob!"

By: Sarah Messer

Tegan and Sara's 7th album release is far from what you would expect from this veteran duo. Most fans know their signature indie style that feature deep cutting/emotional lyrics. Hearthrob isn't necessarily a change from the style, but merely just a different point of view or maybe, dare I say, style evolution.

Fans of the beloved album, "The Con" may find themselves somewhat at a lost at first, but no doubt it won't be long before they come around. It isn't guitar filled tracks; its melodic, hip, pop meets hipster driven beats. Each song is unique with the only similarities being how every song keeps your toe tapping, or head bouncing with its catchy constructed tunes.

Some definite stand outs on this album after a first listen are "I Was a Fool," a power ballad that is sure to win over even the toughest critic. Lyrically, this song is a wonderful, honest, story and the listener can definitely feel what Tegan is trying to convey.

"Drove Me Wild," is one of the catchiest tunes on the album. Every time this song comes on, one can only picture people standing in front of their mirror or in their bed room jumping around singing with their make-shift microphone.

"Love They Say," is an acoustic-style ballad. Again, another lyric driven song, you start to really see that this whole album is very personal.

Last but not least, there's "Closer.," Obviously, this track stood out from the day it was released as the first single. It quickly became one of the most popular songs on the radio. This song speaks for itself.

Fall in love with this album today! You can pick it up at most places where music is sold or download it on Itunes. You can also order it here:
