Taylor Swift on 'Chelsea Lately': 50 Cent awkardness and Taylor's 21st birthday plans

Remember that whole thing where Chelsea Handler was supposedly making out with 50 Cent in the shadows of New Orleans jazz bars? No? Leave it to the brutally honest Taylor Swift to remind us when she visited "Chelsea Lately" on Nov. 24.Swift's latest album, Speak Now, sold an impressive 1,047,000 copies in its first week on shelves - quite a feat for 2010. "They say anybody since 50 Cent in 2005, yeah," she says. "I'm a big fan of 50 Cent. I think you're a big fan of 50 Cent."
"I'm not familiar with his music," Handler teases.
Swift is a big fan herself. "When we're on tour, we have all three girls - the backup singer, the fiddle player, and me in one room, and we all warm up to 50 Cent music," she says. "It would be surprising how many lyrics I know."
"I'm surprised that you warmed up to 50 Cent because I have warmed up to 50 Cent," Handler says.
Of course, Handler commends Swift on her sexy, sleek hair at Sunday's American Music Awards, and they discuss the awesome mash-up performance of "Back to December" and OneRepublic's "Apologize."
"I got these ideas while I was in Japan," Swift says. "I was like 'I want to go into 'Apologize' by OneRepublic after 'Back to December' and I want it to be a mash-up' and then the same night I got this epiphany that I wanted to be on a piano like 500 thousand feet above the stage levitating down. And so I made a few phone calls."
Swift is finally turning 21 this December. "That means I'll get to go to the concerts that my friends go to and leave me at home for," she says. "It's sort of like 'Oh, we can't bring the baby because it's a 21 and over show.' I don't want to be that girl where you like try to get in somewhere where you're too young to get in."
Yeah, Taylor. That's why we were excited to turn 21, too. For the music.
All grown up, Swift just moved into her own house, but living alone doesn't freak her out. "Living alone you can do so many fantastic things, I've learned! You can like, walk around and like, have conversations with yourself, and like sing your thoughts."
Yeah, Taylor. That's why we were excited to move out of our mom's house, too. For the thought-singing.

That would be my favorite part of this. Haha
I heart T.Swizzle and your awesome cool articles! :D :D
Lol. I just watched this. She's so adorable.
Will she ever go away? Geeze......Tired of little miss priss.
You know, she's pretty boring. Apart from talking about what boy she is dating, she has nothing interesting to say. You don't have to be a drinker, go clubbing, flash your under-wear to be interesting. Some people have hobbies, read interesting books, do interesting stuff. Apart from the music (which is her job), she really is a very uninteresting person. It was the same when she was on Leno. I think I finally understand why she sings about the boys. What else would she have to sing about if she has nothing else going on in her life?
I love Taylor. I love how down to earth and normal she really is outside the music world. I am sure if we ever met we would have some good talks.
Its a shame she cant sing, she needs to move into porn
Pretty smart of taylor to bring up 50cent, it steered chelsie away from other topics that everyone else brings up like her relationships and the songs about them. Chelsie was actually very nice to her. But check out Taylors hair, then go look at the picture with straight hair...The straight hair HAD to be a wig, her real hair has none of those brighter colors in it, and she has not bangs. there is no way she could have combed bangs that short over to the side. Also look how long it is with the straight hair, especailly pulled back in a ponytail. Not long ago she had the straight hair at an awards show but it looked nothing like this and was much shorter..this was very pretty, but why lie and stay it was here hair blown straight when it couldn't not have been?
1) If you don't like Taylor, WHY ARE YOU HERE?
2) She's like the best role model out there thats isn't on disney or nikelodeon.
3) I LOVE HER.

@Anonymous YOUR DISGUSTING.
Why would you leave such a disturbing comment about america's country sweetheart?
Loser...
How creepy it was that Kanye West and his record company ran an ad for his album during Chelsea Lately, when Swift was on. Didn't Chelsea Handler and her producers have any way to prevent this? I hope they at least let Taylor Swift what was going to happen.
It's reaching the point where West actually has a vendetta, like he's deliberately harrassing Swift. It's getting pretty sick.
I also noticed online--on some sites, when you click on an article about Swift--an add for West's loser album drops down. Sick Kanye. Harrassment.
