"All I want for Christmas is a real good tan"? Sounds like Taylor Swift may be celebrating this holiday Kenny Chesney-style. The 23-year-old is spending Dec. 25 in Australia, promoting her latest album, Red. Since Christmas is a summer holiday Down Under, the songstress plans to take advantage of the weather, even if she's not used to opening her presents under a palm tree.
"It's gonna be non-stop sun," Taylor told reporters recently (quote via Country Weekly). "So it will be weird to have a tan around Christmas but I'm really excited about it."
The "I Knew You Were Trouble" singer is getting used to these non-traditional holidays, after spending Thanksgiving this year in Japan. "You just roll with the punches," she explains. "You just go, 'Oh OK, we're gonna go to Australia around Christmastime. Not gonna be snowy. It's gonna be 85 degrees.' I think I can handle it."
Taylor recognizes that a few sacrifices must be made every time she releases a new album. "It's hard work, but it's also my childhood dream," she notes. "I also keep a tight grasp on the fact that careers end every day. It is possible for you to say the wrong thing, do the wrong [thing], have a bad stroke of luck and it could be over, so why not appreciate every single day while you have it. Because there's no guarantee for anything."
