Taylor Swift Helps This Guy Score a Date

Ever since Taylor Swift hit the scene, it’s never been easier to break up with someone. Just hit the play button on any of her recent tracks and your significant other will know that you are never ever getting back together.

Not only does she kiss and tell, but she sings it from the rooftop if you do her wrong.

But can the ultimate breakup gal help you start your own love story?

This fan put Swift’s lyrics to the test and found that in real life, baby doesn’t just say yes and you don’t belong together. And if at first you don’t succeed, try and try again — just like this charmingly awkward guy.

And if you still can’t find romance, you and Taylor can share teardrops over her guitar.

   Still not sure who to vote for? Or maybe you’re dead-set on a candidate, and simply waiting for Election Day next week.

   Yes, crashed Windows OS, we know the New York City subway system was unable to restart after Hurricane Sandy. And, yes, we would love to run a system restore.

   
   

   After Sandy ravaged the East Coast Monday evening, the subway system in New York City was left crippled. Not immune to inclement weather, the Windows-based display above the 77th Street subway stop seemed to have hit a snag as well.

Watch the unlikely duo come together to make music in the video above. We’ll know exactly who to hold accountable if Branson shaves the side of his head.

   The 2008 thriller Taken, about an American girl kidnapped by human traffickers in Paris, raised anxiety levels for many worrywort parents.

   Meet Dr. William Bell, a 90-year-old fitness nut who holds a pole vault world record for his age group. Pfft, as if a bunch of buff 20-something Olympic swimmers prancing their six-packs around the pool didn’t already make us all feel like a bunch of unaccomplished cubicle potatoes this week.
