While her Twitter isn't updated as often as it used to be, Taylor Swift makes up for it with video blogs that represent some of the best insider video on the Internet. In her latest dispatch, culled together from video taken during the past few weeks (including her two-night run at the Staples Center in Los Angeles), she shows off her athletic prowess, gets excited about birthday cake, visits at least one aquarium and generally seems like she is enjoying the ideal life among her friends and family.
The video (hosted at Taylor TV) teaches us at least one thing about Swift: She is a game but underachieving athlete. The clip opens with her on a basketball court (in a short skirt and wearing high-heeled boots — hardly regulation sportswear) dribbling and draining a shot. "Did you get that?" she asks her camera operator. "That never happens!" Later, she is spotted bowling with pal Selena Gomez (though she only manages to knock down a single pin). Coupled with her assertion that "I'm not a good runner" during an Easter egg hunt, it seems like Swift is a willing participant who is often curtailed by her natural ability (or lack thereof). Still, she plays a mean guitar, so that makes up for it.
Elsewhere in the video, Swift visits the Las Vegas wedding of "You Belong With Me" co-writer Liz Rose (only a few hours after the Academy of Country Music Awards) and later features footage from the Los Angeles show that featured a guest appearance from Katy Perry (the pair tag-teamed on Perry's "Hot N Cold").
