[edit] Edit Request: 2011 American Music Awards win

It should be added that Taylor won artist of the year in the 2011 AMAs.

I was unable to find a winners list on the AMA site, but there is this Huffington post link. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/20/taylor-swift-wins-american-music-awards-artist-of-the-year_n_1104512.html

[edit] Acting correction

Under the acting section in "Other Work," it says " In January 2012, Swift was offered the role of Eponine in the film adaptation of the musical, Les Misérables.[130]"

Please change this to point out that the article used for reference is from an entertainment site, but that according to the most recent update on the movies official website (http://www.lesmis.com/news/article/miz_film_its_official_aaron_tveit_is_confirmed_to_join_the_cast), there is no mention of Swift being attached to the role. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.183.182.103 (talk) 16:14, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

The article currently says that she has been offered the role, which is what the source also states, not that she has accepted. Official sites tend to not announce offers but when the role is accepted by the actor, probably to avoid embarrassment if they are declined. So as the article is currently is correct. --Jnorton7558 (talk) 16:24, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Taylor Swift

I checked biography and found together with year of birth, this date '27 January 2012' on Taylor Swift biography-page! Please action be taken, thanks~ (Indusengineer (talk) 11:09, 27 January 2012 (UTC))

Indeed, I agree with the above mentioned post, the date "27 January 2012" seems to be a prank by someone, please, it should be removed and action taken against those who did it. thanks Rudvedic (talk) 12:34, 27 January 2012 (UTC) Her birthday was December 13, 1989 in Wyomissing Pennsylvania in a small town called Reding. She grew up on a christmas tree farm! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.36.110.216 (talk) 21:36, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Taylor Swift signature

Is it really correct to put 'Taylor Swift's signature' under what it actually her official logo in the box? It isn't her handwriting, it's actually her logo which was made using a slightly tweaked version of the Satisfaction font (a free font available on the web), which can also be seen on the cover of Sara Evans' CDS, so it can't be her handwriting. Is it possible that this could be changed to 'logo' rather than 'signature?' — Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.210.149.42 (talk) 13:12, 17 February 2012 (UTC)

√ Done. Thanks for noting. —— Charles Edwin Shipp (talk) 00:08, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
