Last week, we shared Taylor Swift's brand new song Shake It Off and her announcement that she'll be coming out with a new album on October 27th called 1989. Well, we have another inside scoop for you! Tay and Lorde are besties, so it's no surprise that Lorde got a sneak peek of what 1989 is all about.

Just as we suspected the new hit single "Shake It Off" is only the beginning of many more fun and catchy songs from Swift. Here's what Lorde had to say when she was interviewed by the New Zealand radio station The Edge:

"I actually heard it [Shake It Off] a while ago. I love it. What I'm gonna say about it [1989] is...that it is quite simply, as someone who's a fan of pop music, it is joyous. It is such a great record. Honestly, it's so good."

Well, now we definitely can't wait for Taylor Swift's new album to come out! That's not all Lorde talked about with The Edge, of course, though (she announced that she'll be going on a tour of New Zealand!). We'll make sure to keep you updated as new news on 1989 is released!

The time has finally come - Taylor Swift debuted a brand new song during her Yahoo! live stream today, and we have already become so obsessed with it! The new song is called "Shake It Off" and it is by far our new favorite dance jam (we may have already listened to it 10 times in a row...). Shake It Off by Taylor Swift is all about brushing off the haters and...you guessed it...shaking it off and moving on. We can definitely get behind that message! Watch the new video here:

We love the chorus:

"But, I keep cruzin', can't stop, won't stop groovin', It's like I got this music in my mind sayin' it's gonna be alright!"

We're thinking it's this very song that's keeping her cruzin' right along. What an anthem!

That's not all that T-Swift revealed during the Yahoo! live stream, though. She also revealed the name of her new upcoming album, which will be available October 27th. It's called 1989, and she's been working on it for two years now, so it should be an incredible listen (especially with this song on it)! She explained that the album was inspired by the "late '80s" pop she was listening to. She described the '80s as "a time of limitless potential," a time of being bright and bold. Of course, Tay was also born in 1989, so that may of had some influence on her album title choice!

Needless to say, you can definitely hear the influence in her new single. She even said during the stream that this will be her, "first documented, official pop album." No more country Taylor Swift - bring on the pop superstar! We can wait to see what else she has in store for binging some pop influence to her music!

We are itching for The Vampire Diaries Season 6 premiere to finally hit! While we love summer time, us Roo Girls seriously can't wait for October 2nd to come already. Season 5 of TVD ended so abruptly that waiting months and months and months for the next season to air has been torture...in the most vampiric way possible, of course! Well, the TVD gods have finally shined down on us by giving us some little tid bits to hold us over until Fall comes: a sneak peek of the Season Six promo photo shoot!

The show's stars shared behind-the-scenes videos and pics from the photo shoot on their Instagrams that are so steamy (literally)! The most exciting news? It looks like Damon (Ian Somerhalder) is in some of the photos and videos...so we can only hope that means he's back for Season 6! Check out the Instagram posts below and decide for yourself whether you think he'll be back in action for the next TVD season.

Pretty awesome pictures and videos, right? You can guess what we loved the most (other than seeing the faces of the hot TVD guys, of course), Nina Dobrev's (Elena on The Vampire Diaries) sexy black cut-out dress! The gown looked so perfect on her - we wish we could see the final photo shoot of her in the dress already! If you want her cut-out look for your next formal event, we're all about Nika style 9041! This gown features a strapless sweetheart bodice, illusion straps and back, and side cut outs just like Nina's dress. The gown also features elegant embellished cuff sleeves.

Did these photos and videos get you itching for more TVD already? They sure got us wanting more - we hope you're as excited for The Vampire Diaries Season 6 as we are! Get ready for the Fall and October (and hopefully more Damon)!

The school year is about to begin and the New Year is just around the corner! You are once again reunited with your classmates and getting settled into your new classes. This year, it's your chance to amp up your style and refresh your look. Fashion is constantly changing and usually some back-to-school shopping does the trick. But, if you want to really make a drastic change to your look...try a whole new hairstyle! So many haircuts are on trend right now and we picked out a few of our favorite current ones.

The Lob - Long Bob

So many celebs have drastically changed their hair for summer of 2014. One of the biggest trends of the year was the infamous long bob. This intermediate cut is not too short but not too lengthy.  The on trend term for the Long Bob is The Lob.  The long bob has a wide range of variations from sexy waves to groovy seventies inspired bangs.  Even Beyonce went from her luscious long locks to this sassy short cut. Everyone is jumping on this hairstyle and can't get enough of it. Who said short hair wasn't sexy? This is great for someone who wants to try something new but not totally extreme.  Sienna Miller and Jennifer Aniston are just two of the many A-List celebs that have opted for the the long bob hairstyle.

Ombre Highlights

For the past couple of years, ombre highlights have been getting so popular...everybody tried some kind of form of ombre...even ombre dresses! When it comes to your hair, whether it's a subtle one shade lighter ombre or a full on platinum blonde ombre...there's endless possibilities on how extreme you can go. Adding color like pinks and reds to add some edginess to your style is a great way to more drastically change your appearance.  Check out how Ciara and Rachel Bilson rock the ombre hairstyle below.

Shaved Side Hairstyle

Another trend celebs all over this year have been rocking is the shaved side hairstyle. You've seen it on pop stars like Miley Cyrus...Rihanna...and Cassie. Not many people would go for this look because of the drastic side buzz cut and the maintenance, but if you want a look that will have you standing out from the crowd, then this will definitely do it!

If you want to try it but don't want to go too extreme, here's a temporary look Kendall Jenner rocked similar to that trend. Short, small braids is a great way to go edgy for just a few days without giving your mom a heart attack!

One Direction made the Internet go crazy yesterday (as usual) when they gave Directioners clues about a big announcement that would be coming soon. After some minor (and by minor, we mean huge) panic attacks, the 1D boys finally revealed what they had in store for their fans! If you're reading this, we're sure you probably already know what the big surprise ended up being...but if you don't...it's that 1D announced the release of their brand new perfume, called "You and I." This is their third perfume, so we're happy to report that there's a brand new one available to continue to smell like our favorite rock stars.

Seventeen Magazine caught up with the boys and got the scoop behind the new perfume from Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson. The two boys told Seventeen all about what went into making their latest scent...and even more...like who inspires them when things get a little nuts on the road and what makes a girl sexy.

This was Liam's response to how they chose their latest scent:

"We went through a list of things and found what we liked and what we didn't like - what our girlfriends would wear and stuff, and that's kind of how we got around to it."

-Liam Payne

And, here's what Louis had to say on naming the perfume "You and I"

"We loved the song, and obviously it's quite personal. [The song] is a personal thing, and it's a personal thing with the fragrance, too - so that was the whole idea behind that. The title was actually the hardest thing for this one!"

-Louis Tomlinson

Paris Hilton's newest single "Come Alive" finally came out on July 15, 2014, and we're loving it! The song is so much fun, and the video is so whimsical, with Paris frolicking in an open field, hanging out on a cloud, swinging on a swing full of beautiful flowers...and there's even a unicorn and a rainbow! Check out the video here:

http://youtu.be/6KXwYjG8txo

We love the chorus and overall message:

"You make me smile, you make me dream, you make me feel alive. You make me dance, you make me feel, you make me come to life, you make me come alive, you make me feel alive."

Who wouldn't want to be with someone who made you feel that way?? And of course, Paris looks as gorgeous as ever with her diamond encrusted nails and flower filled hair. There's one other reason we're digging Paris' look, though: did you catch her wearing one of our favorite dress designers in the video? She rocked Mac Duggal style 3908A in the part of the video where she's with the unicorn!

Mac Duggal 3908A is a fully sequined, high fashion gown with an open back that looked absolutely fabulous on Paris! The sequins on this gown had Paris sparkling perfectly within her video, and really helped her "come alive!" The whole scene with her in the sparkly Mac Duggal gown, with the unicorn and rainbow in the background looked like something out of a dream!

While the color that Paris wore in the video is no longer available, Mac Duggal 3908A is also available in a show-stopping Peacock color, which you can see above. It's definitely the perfect way to feel like a celebrity at Prom or your next formal event!
