That was one of the replies to an email I sent about Taylor Swift yesterday from an unnamed co-worker. I won't go into details about the email in question. I'm not sure if that reply was to say that I'm too old for Taylor. Maybe it was more of a "legal" notice. Let's just leave it at that.
Back to business. Taylor Swift is confirmed as an in-game character for Band Hero, just like we told you she would be yesterday. The country singer/songwriter and guitarist will be under your control in Band Hero, says Activision in a press release. Swift contributed some of her hit songs, her likeness, and even full-blown motion capture, all of which you can see in an announcement video below the jump.
Neversoft scans her head, takes pictures, and then has her dance around. In one section, Swift's mom expresses concern that not enough leg is showing. She thrusts her hips and shimmys around, too. But again, "she's 19" -- whatever the hell that means.

I know next to nothing about her but she is mildly attractive. However, when I have seen her talk there is something about her demeanor and namely her eyes that screams dumb ass to me. That may not be the case, she could be very intelligent, but for some reason my instinct tells me that. Do I need help or has anyone else noticed it?
That video gives me a thought: How uncomfortable and awkward must it be to sing and dance around like that whilst wearing that suit with no crowd or anything? It seems like she's trying hard to keep a straight face.
@mrplow8 - And pretty damn hot, if I do say so. Love the hair too, sexy as hell imo. Damn it! Will NOT be picking this game up, but I may have to look into her google image search selection...
meh. she's from the same area i am and i spotted her in public a few times before she got her big break. without the team of beauticians following her around she's just the average looking 19 year old girl. not that theres anything wrong with that.

But 19 is legal everywhere in America, right? You're good.
