Taylor Swift stopped traffic—literally—when she shut down Hollywood Blvd. Thursday.
For her Jimmy Kimmel Live! concert, the 24-year-old musician performed “Shake It Off” and “Out of the Woods,” which both appear on her first pop album, 1989. When the singer-songwriter sat down with Jimmy Kimmel, the host kicked began by reading Swift a few glowing reviews from The New York Times, Rolling Stone and Time. Swift admitted, “When I hear stuff like that, I just don’t have any control over my body. “I care! People who say they don’t care are lying. Everyone cares! Everybody cares what The New York Times and Rolling Stone say.” The former country artist added, “Time magazine, oh my god!”
Swift is “not nervous” about how fans will react to 1989 when it drops Tuesday, explaining, “I’m more confident about this album than I’ve been about any of the other ones I’ve put out, which is a really nice feeling. But it’s almost like you’re releasing this thing into the world that you’ve spent two years with it, and it’s just been mine for two years and now it’s everybody else’s. I’m like sending it off to college.”
