Taylor-swift-brit-awards-performance

Taylor Swift performed at Wednesday's Brit Awards and dazzled as the virginal stripper we all knew she had in her. 

Taylor and her ex Harry Styles were both in attendance at the Brits, the British equivalent of the Grammys, and so Taylor decided to show Mr. One Direction what he's been missing. 

Word on the street is that Harry spent his recent birthday in the company of strippers, so Taylor decided to do a little stripping of her own. On stage while singing I Knew You Were Trouble, Taylor went from sporting a lovely wedding dress-esque outfit with strange victorian princess hips to black leather and lace in the blink of an eye. 

It's a great performance. Check it out after the jump …

A Mindy McCready update

As happens when something tragic happens, details have been emerging rapid fire regarding Mindy McCready's final days leading up to her death last Sunday. 

Here's a few of them.

The most important bit of information that's come out I think is that it turns out that Mindy was never a suspect in her boyfriend's death. 

It had been reported that Mindy was under investigation in the death of her boyfriend, David Wilson, after he died of a gunshot wound last month. The story went that she kept changing her story about how she found Wilson and that made police suspicious.
