"When we got there, she said she didn't want to portray us as mean girls," said HHS junior Sierra Copeland. "So we were the 'hot dancers.' ""

2/12/09: Taylor was the ONLY one on the list to NOT have her own head lining tour! "Concerts continue to be the ideal way for artists to profit off the music that no one really buys anymore. The one anomaly on the list is Taylor Swift. Even though she opened for Brad Paisley on the road last year, revenue from that gig didn’t count toward her total of $45 million, good enough to finish in 16th place."
