Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter and occasional actress. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed to the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house. The release of Swift's self-titled debut album in 2006 established her as a country music star. "Our Song", her third single, made her the youngest sole writer and singer of a number one song on the country chart. She received a Best New Artist nomination at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Swift's second album, Fearless, was released in late 2008. Buoyed by the chart success of the singles "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me", Fearless attracted a crossover audience and became the top-selling album of 2009. The record won four Grammy Awards, with Swift becoming the youngest ever Album of the Year winner. Fearless also received Album of the Year plaudits at the American Music Awards, Academy of Country Music Awards and Country Music Association Awards, making it the most awarded album in country music history. In 2010, Swift released her third album, Speak Now, which sold over one million copies in its first week. She then embarked on the 111-date Speak Now World Tour, which was attended by over 1.6 million fans and has become one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. The album's third single, "Mean", won two Grammy Awards for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance. Swift is currently recording her fourth studio album, due for release in the fall of 2012.
Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, record producer, and actress. She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records, including Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993) and Merry Christmas (1994), established her position as Columbia's highest-selling act. Daydream (1995), made music history when the second single, "One Sweet Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop. After her separation from Mottola, this musical change was evident with the release of Butterfly (1997).
now put two in the air (man just go and shake em off)
like you really don’t care (man just go and shake em off)
and put em to the sky (man just go and shake em off)
why don’t you hold em real high (man just go and shake em off)
go go go go off with it
are you dealing w/ these things up in ya mind right?
banged up like hit and runs from a sideswipe
here’s something you can read like a time life
something that will help you see better than ya eyesight
my life this night gone shine bright
but to just to put Jesus in the limelight
and not trusting him don’t even sound right
that’s like me going out and renting twilight
things they be getting harder
we try to hang on like our name was Peter Parker
I seen the saga so I’m seeking out the living water
instead of letting problems chop like benihanna
I been through the drama you stay ahead of me
like you was number 4 and I was number three
everything I have now is cause you be
I gotta shake it all off here’s the remedy
so understand man dude he’s never limited
sometimes it takes a little time till he finishes
I keep spitting it until ya getting it
until you give him all the credit like a gift certificate
so are you listening man what you living for
are you missing it now what you heading toward
you can’t make it all along now this for sure
that’s like running backwards through a metal doors
now he’s guaranteed for plenty more
then the little bit you tend to get and settle for
when I get on tour I’m spitting metaphors
and similes with clarity till the tongue is sore
now he reigns his blessing pour
that will keep you on you’re toes like a pedicure
with the way life goes man I’m never bored
