Bizarre Taylor Swift Arts And Crafts On Etsy
Taylor Swift
The true mark of musical fame isn’t ticket sales, #1 albums or Grammy Award nominations, its the bizarre lengths fans will go to in order to express their devotion to their favourite act.
Like, say, stencil the face of their fave musician on a toilet seat. Or maybe compose a print of the zombified version of their object d’adoration holding the severed head of John Mayer.
Such things are normal in the world of Taylor Swift arts and crafts available for purchase on Etsy.
Sarah navigated this murky world to find the 10 best Taylor Swift items for Huffington Post Music Canada.

10 Songs About Kim Kardashian (Ray J Didn’t Hit It First)
Kim Kardashian
Among this week’s top celebutard gossip was that Kim Kardashian‘s ex and former sex tape partner Ray J released a locker room-level insult song called “I Hit It First” about her (then denied it was about her even though the single’s cover art is a blurred photo of her).
The likelihood of Ray J being Kim’s first in the sack is arguable, but what isn’t up for debate is the fact he WAS NOT first when it came to writing Kim K-themed songs.
There’ve actually been a number of fascinating odes to Kim Kardashian over the years — including one by Honey Boo Boo — and Sarah collected some of the most interesting for Huffington Post Music Canada.

Heart On ‘Stairway To Heaven’ And Being Canadian (Sort Of)
Heart
Heart have made some of the best songs in the history of rock music — “Magic Man,” “Crazy On You” and “Barracuda” — and recently the covered another great, Led Zeppelin‘s “Stairway To Heaven,” and did it so well they made the band cry. Before Heart came to Toronto for Canadian Music Week I got a chance to talk to Nancy Wilson about doing that song in front of Zep as well as what other covers they know. That story can be found at Spinner by clicking here.
I also tried to clear up that peculiar urban myth that says Heart are a Canadian band in a separate story for Huffington Post Music Canada. You can read about that one by going here.
