Folks at a DuPage County cancer charity will be rooting for Taylor Swift at the CMT Music Awards. CMT will make donations to each winner’s designated nonprofit, and Swift chose the Children’s Neuroblastoma Cancer Foundation of Bloomingdale. “We don’t know how she even heard about us,” foundation president Pat Tallungan said. At the June 6 awards ceremony, Swift’s “Ours” is nominated for female video of the year, and her song with the Civil Wars, “Safe and Sound,” is up for both video of the year and collaborative video of the year.

Taylor Swift Opens Up About 'Hunger Games' Songs 'Safe & Sound' and 'Eyes Open'




Taylor Swift has contributed two songs to 'The Hunger Games' soundtrack and now she's opening up about both tunes in the latest issue of Rolling Stone.

According to the 22-year-old singer, it was a relief to put herself in Katniss Everdeen's shoes. "Slipping into her mind was such a wonderful break," Taylor says of writing from the character's point of view. "It's pretty intense writing about my own life, my own struggles. It was almost like a vacation to get to write from someone else's perspective."

Taylor's song 'Eyes Open' recently leaked, revealing a rock vibe that fans aren't used to hearing from the country star. By the same token, Tay shows off a darker, brooding side on 'Safe & Sound,' which came out of a two-hour writing session with the Civil Wars at soundtrack producer T Bone Burnett's studio last fall.

"The Civil Wars had a show that night in L.A.," Taylor adds. "So they raced right over to T Bone's house. There's so many things he could've done production-wise to make that song bigger sonically than it is, but I think that would have possibly been a mistake. For him to have left the song as a lullaby is brilliant."

Snippets of 'Hunger Games' Soundtrack Album Include Taylor Swift's 'Eyes Open'




On the day "The Hunger Games" gets its world premiere at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles, all of its theme songs from the soundtrack album are revealed in a snippet compilation. There's one called "Eyes Open" that is sung by Taylor Swift, and another titled "Kingdom Come" that is performed by her "Safe & Sound" featured guest The Civil Wars.

The "Eyes Open" opens with Taylor crooning, "Everybody's waiting/ Everybody's watching/ Even when you're sleeping/ Keep your eyes open." She continues, "Yesterday we were just children/ Playing soldier just pretending/ Dreaming dreams with happy ending/ In backyards battle with the wooden swords."

The "Eyes Open" still features some rousing drum beat although it has a touch of mellow vibes, but the "Kingdom Come" seems to be a pure ballad with slower melody. "It's our homage to a survival song," Joy Williams told EW. "And also to trying to keep your cool and stay rational in a ridiculous situation."

The other Civil Wars member, John Paul White, went on explaining, "It's a little bit of 'It's going to be okay, it's going to be all right, we're going to make it through this,' even when the situation around you is more dire than you'd care to admit. I think it's how we all cope."

The soundtrack album for "The Hunger Games" will also feature "songs from District 12 and beyond" by Kid Cudi, Miranda Lambert, The Decemberists and Arcade Fire. The CD is going to arrive in the United States on March 20, while "The Hunger Games" itself will be released nationwide three days later.

TAYLOR SWIFT TAKES FANS BEHIND-THE-SCENES OF ‘SAFE + SOUND’ VIDEO





In a new video taking fans behind the scenes of ‘Safe & Sound,’ Taylor Swift reveals what scared her during filming and why the usually glowy starlet was dreading sunshine.The clip opens with Swift’s forest scenes. Considering she’s filming in the dead of winter in a flimsy nightgown, you can imagine she was freezing — but it was for the good of her art. ”It’s cold, and I’m wearing this little vintage, 1920s chiffon, silky dress, and the idea of it is supposed to look sort of ghost-like. It’s supposed to look ghostly.”

“Right now I’m meandering through the forest, and they’re getting various angles of that meandering,” she said. “In the breaks between, I’m standing by this heater,” she smiled. She opened her sweater and pointed out, “As you can see, this dress is not exactly warm. So I have a sweater, I have boots, I have the heater.”

It was Swift’s idea to walk around barefoot in the cold, “and now I’m kind of kicking myself for suggesting it,” she revealed with a laugh.

One thing Swift did like about the shoot was her director. “I’ve never filmed with Philip Andelman before. It was such a surprise to me how he was so quick,” she said. “He’d shoot it one time and be like, ‘Moving on!’ It’s so exciting to be around someone like that, and someone who loves what they do so much.”

One reason why Andelman was able to work so quickly is because the conditions were ideal for their shoot. “The weather is absolutely perfect for this shoot because we wanted it to be really cloudy and hazy,” she said. “That’s the way it looks the most emotional when you’re shooting for something really melancholy and sad. I was just praying that the sun wasn’t shining today, because it would be harder to portray this emotion.”

She was more than a little creeped out when filming the gravestone scenes. “Are we sure there aren’t skeletons?” she asks, wide eyed. “… It seems to be open,” she said. “I don’t know what to read into that, how far to read into that, ’cause Phil’s freaking out about the shot, and he’s stoked about it,” she said, grinning through her fear. “It’s creepy and awesome, but seriously,” she said, “I’m sitting on a grave.”

Taylor Swift Is A 'Hunger Games' 'Fangirl'




MTV News kicked off the week in a big way Monday with the exclusive premiere of the video for Taylor Swift's "Hunger Games" soundtrack song "Safe & Sound," which was followed by a lengthy chat with the country superstar about everything from her love for Suzanne Collins' best-selling book to her adorable cat Meredith.

Swift also took Twitter questions from fans, one of which came from @SafeandSound4Taylor, who asked the Grammy winner what she would do if she were in the real-life Hunger Games.


"I've thought about this, because reading the books, you're so sucked into it that as you go about your life, you sit there, and you're like, 'Could I climb that tree?' 'Could I make a weapon out of this?' 'If I had to forage for food, what would I do?' Honestly, I think I would just be the person who runs and hides," she admitted. "I kind of freeze. You know how you have fight, flight or freeze, those three reactions to something scary? I just freeze."

Swift said she would try to run and hide somewhere, and if she had to kill anyone, she hoped it would be in an indirect way, similar to a few of the deaths Katniss inflicts almost accidentally in the books.

When asked how writing a song for the movie came about, Swift said she received a call directly from the studio and subsequently devoured the books. "I immediately read the book in, like, two days and fell in love with it," she said. "I fell in love with the characters, fell in love with the world that Suzanne Collins had created. I was just so immersed in it."

She also revealed that when she was first asked to pen a song for the soundtrack, she thought she'd be writing something encouraging and upbeat. "When I got the call, I thought from what I'd heard about the movie, 'It's an action movie, right? We're probably going to be writing a song that's like, "We're going to win!" ' And then I read the book, and I thought, 'No, we're going to have to write sort of a death lullaby, it's so different from what I thought.' "


Swift seemed just as excited about seeing the finished film as we are and expressed curiosity in seeing scenes from the actual Games, which we haven't yet been shown via sneak peeks or trailers.

"They have never shown footage of the Games," Swift said. "I'm dying to see that. Everyone wants to see pivotal parts. The relationship with Rue and Katniss and also Peeta and Katniss and their relationship developing, and none of the Games have been shown yet, so I'm so excited for the movie. I'm a fangirl!"

Taylor Swift: 'Dying' To See Footage from The Hunger Games




Taylor Swift keeps it cool in front of the cameras as she leaves Toast Restaurant in Los Angeles on Wednesday afternoon (February 15).

The 22-year-old musician just debuted her new music video for The Hunger Games earlier this week.

Taylor chatted with MTV about her obsessiveness with the book series. “I immediately read the book in, like, two days and fell in love with it. I fell in love with the characters, fell in love with the world that Suzanne Collins had created. I was just so immersed in it,” she shared.

So what part is she really looking forward to in the movie? “They have never shown footage of the Games,” T dished. “I’m dying to see that. Everyone wants to see pivotal parts. The relationship with Rue and Katniss and also Peeta and Katniss and their relationship developing, and none of the Games have been shown yet, so I’m so excited for the movie. I’m a fangirl!”

Taylor Swift Talks Filming 'Safe & Sound' In A Cemetery




If you thought you caught a moment of the macabre in Taylor Swift's new video for "Safe & Sound," you're dead right: turns out, a healthy part of the filming process took place in a historic cemetery. (Hey, "dead right"! Get it? Get it?! ...Ow, stop hitting us!) And when Taylor sat down for a chat with MTV, she was quick to tell us how meaningful that graveyard scene was.

"That's one of my favorite moments in the video," she said. "There's this wide shot where I'm just crumpled up, sitting on a gravestone. And it's actually the grave site of a couple who lived, and died, in 1853."

An odd choice for a "Hunger Games" tie in? Maybe not: the story takes place in a dystopian futureworld, but the post-apocalyptic landscape—and the lives of the people who live in it—has a distinctly Victorian feel. And for Taylor, the history of the place was a source of inspiration for a song that's all about beginnings and endings.

"I'm such a history freak that I was sitting there thinking, What were their lives like?—and now here we are, hundreds of years later, filming a music video on their graves," she said. "It's really eerie, considering what the movie is about and how it deals with life and death."

All in all, the morbid tone serves the video well—but if it looks like Taylor had the shivers during her time on-screen, it's not because she was scared of ghosts.

"It was so cold!" she exclaimed. And not only was the singer trudging barefoot through a cold, damp forest near Nashville, her costume wasn't exactly insulated: "I was wearing this 1920s vintage nightgown that didn't provide much warmth."

Still hungry for more news about this "Hunger Games"-inspired project? Keep watching to hear more about how Taylor and The Civil Wars settled on the video's vibe (which Taylor says is her favorite, ever!) and check out her answers to questions from fans on Twitter about what it was like to shoot, how the rich symbolism from "The Hunger Games" permeated the process and how passionate she feels about the books that inspired it all.

Watch Taylor Swift's Safe & Sound Music Video from The Hunger Games




Watch Taylor Swift’s music video “Safe & Sound” from the soundtrack of the upcoming film “The Hunger Games” stars Liam Hemsworth, Jennifer Lawrence, Elizabeth Banks, Josh Hutcherson, Willow Shields, Woody Harrelson and Stanley Tucci.

Synopsis: In a not-too-distant future, North America has collapsed, weakened by drought, fire, famine, and war, to be replaced by Panem, a country divided into the Capitol and 12 districts. Each year, two young representatives from each district are selected by lottery to participate in The Hunger Games. Part entertainment, part brutal intimidation of the subjugated districts, the televised games are broadcasted throughout Panem as the 24 participants are forced to eliminate their competitors, literally, with all citizens required to watch. When 16-year-old Katniss’ young sister, Prim, is selected as the mining district’s female representative, Katniss volunteers to take her place. She and her male counterpart, Peeta, the son of the town baker who seems to have all the fighting skills of a lump of bread dough, will be pitted against bigger, stronger representatives who have trained for this their whole lives. ~ by Suzanne Collins

But you don't have to wait until Monday to catch a sneak peek of the emotional video.

In a mini-tease, Swift is wearing a long, white dress. Her hair and makeup are not done — it's a far cry from the red-carpet-ready Taylor fans are used to seeing.

After Monday's video premiere — which will also air live on MTV's channels in Canada, Europe, Latin America, Australia, Asia and Africa — the Grammy-nominated singer will sit down with MTV News' Sway Calloway for a 30-minute interview on MTV.com. Fans of the superstar can get in on the action by submitting questions via Twitter @MTVNews with the hashtags #AskTaylor or #MTVFirst.

The "Hunger Games" soundtrack, which also features Arcade Fire and the Decemberists, drops March 20; the movie hits theaters days later, on March 23.

And for those non-Swifties wondering why Taylor chose Monday to drop the video, it's the 13th and that happens to be the star's lucky number.

Taylor Swift and Civil Wars Are 'Safe and Sound' on the Charts




'Safe and Sound,' the hot new track from Taylor Swift and the Civil Wars came close to kicking Toby Keith's 'Red Solo Cup' out of the top spot on this week's Billboard Top Country Digital Tracks chart. The melancholy tune, from the soundtrack of the highly-anticipated big screen version of 'The Hunger Games,' roars onto the chart at No. 2, with 135,000 downloads registered since its surprise debut last week, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Toby retains his hold on the top spot with 176,000 downloads of his party anthem. That's more than twice as many downloads as the tune tallied last week, perhaps in part due to the holiday version of the smash hit.

As the year winds down, country music can be found near the top of the list of the year's biggest-selling albums. Jason Aldean's 'My Kinda Party,' having sold 1.5 million copies in 2011, lands as the fifth-best-selling album of the year. Lady Antebellum, who remain at No. 1 on the country chart this week, scored the 10th-best-selling disc of the year with 'Own the Night' registering sales of nearly 1.2 million.

Taylor Swift had the third-biggest country disc with 2010's 'Speak Now' selling just shy of one million copies this year. Rounding out country's top five for the year were Scotty McCreery's 'Clear as Day' and Zac Brown Band's 'You Get What You Give.'

'Hunger Games,' starring Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, hits theaters March 23.
