I’m laying on the couch, wearing fuzzy red and white socks. In my peripheral vision is a giant, lit up Christmas tree. This is my favorite time of year. Hands down.
I just got back to Nashville this morning after being in LA all week. Today I was out and about and in the studio all day, and when I drove home, I saw this strip of restaurants on Main Street in my hometown.. I’ve driven that road and seen those restaurants four billion times since we moved here almost six years ago. Somehow they’ve never looked as perfect and welcoming as they did tonight. It was Sunday night and there were cars jammed into every last parking spot available. I could see the smoke billowing out of fireplace chimneys into cold winter air. It’s the holidays. People are coming together and going out for dinner and something about seeing that just stuck with me. I love everything about this time of year, but mostly the way that people find ways to be with the ones they love. And I love sweaters. Everyone is wearing sweaters right now.

Taylor Swift is suing a local Sports Bar in Idaho for not distributing royalties after using her songs:
No one puts Taylor Swift in the corner. Country’s new golden girl is seeking justice, after a sting operation in Idaho revealed a small sports bar was ripping her off, TMZ reports. Taylor is now involved in a copyright infringement lawsuit lead by Broadcast Music, Inc.
BMI collects license fees on behalf of people in the music industry and distributes them as royalties to those members whose work is performed.
According to the lawyer connected to the case, BMI enlisted someone to investigate the situation at The Sports Cellar bar sometime last year, and the investigator noticed the bar was playing Taylor’s songs, which they had not paid for the rights to, TMZ reports.
Taylor’s stolen music was also used for Karaoke at the bar!
The songstress is suing for unspecified damages — but compared to the millions she is making right now, the Idaho income is very minimal.
Things were just going to smoothly for Taylor. Last week the Pennsylvania-born singer swept all four categories at the Country Music Awards, including the big honor of entertainer of the year.
