    Proposing the idea via a social media post, the ‘Betty’ singer’s devotee suggests Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Jesse Tyler Ferguson as the stars of the possible project.
    Sep 14, 2020
    AceShowbiz – A Taylor Swift fan has envisioned a movie based on the star’s track “The Last Great American Dynasty” – and the hitmaker’s totally onboard.
    The user took to social media on their @TSlifestyle13 Twitter account to propose the idea, suggesting Taylor’s friends Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds, and Jesse Tyler Ferguson should star in the film.
    “‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ would make an incredible movie. The story is timeless yet unique, the music would be exquisite, and it already has the perfect title. As for the cast: Blake Lively (Rebekah), Ryan Reynolds (Bill), Jesse Tyler Ferguson (neighbor),” the fan tweeted.
    Jesse was the first one to see the tweet and he retweeted it with the message, “Ok I’m avail for this.” Ryan later joined the conversation, responding, “But Bill’s heart… ?”.
    And they’re not the only ones up for getting involved in the possible project – the hitmaker herself also chimed in, writing, “not trying to be The Loudest Woman This Town Has Ever Seen but… I LOVE THIS.”

    Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Ryan Reynolds and Taylor Swift reacted to ‘The Last Great American Dynasty’ movie idea.
    “The Last Great American Dynasty” is on Taylor’s latest album “Folklore”, and is based on eccentric heiress and ballet director Rebekah Harkness who once owned the singer’s multi-million-dollar beachfront mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island.

  • Taylor Swift Praised by Record Store Owner for Fans' Kindness in Returning Box of Signed Albums

    WENN

    The ‘Cardigan’ singer has given independent retailers a big boost by sending autographed copies of her latest hit release, but one was dropped off before a Wisconsin store opened.
    Aug 25, 2020
    AceShowbiz – An independent record store owner in Wisconsin is thanking his lucky stars after a box of signed Taylor Swift albums was handed over by a loyal fan following a delivery issue.
    The pop superstar recently decided to give independent retailers a big boost by sending autographed copies of her latest hit release, “Folklore”, to select stores around the U.S.
    Tom Smith, manager of Green Bay’s Exclusive Co., discovered he would be receiving the special CD shipment on Saturday, August 22, but the box was dropped off before the store opened, and the courier driver simply had a fan camped outside the shop sign for the goods.
    Recalling the incident to U.S. breakfast show “Today”, Smith said, “I walk up, and one of the people standing outside the store handed me the box and said UPS had her sign for it.”
    Inside were 30 copies of the signed CDs, which could have easily been sold for big bucks online, and Smith expressed his gratitude to the lady, who was there to purchase one of the $11.99 (£9) albums, once the shop opened for business.
    “I said, ‘Thank you for not walking off with this,'” Smith shared. “She goes, ‘Taylor would have not wanted me to walk off with this.’ ”
    “It’s really endearing,” he added. “Taylor Swift does so much good with her celebrity, and you can see how it also trickles down to her fans… It’s encouraging.”
    And Smith is also grateful to Swift for thinking of struggling independent music retailers, particularly during the coronavirus pandemic.
    “Before the Internet, the record stores were the ones doing all the heavy lifting and helping make and break artists,” he said. “It’s not like Taylor is up and coming and has to jump through hoops to get her name out there. She has made it, so to see her showing this love to indie stores is really great and appreciated.”
