The beautiful Taylor Swift, who is known for being so adorable, celebrated her 24th birthday in true swift style. She shared photos of her party on Twitter, and it looked both beautiful AND adorable! Seventeen Magazine had the scoop:

"She threw a super fancy, balloon-festooned garden party in Melbourne with all of her pest pals, including, much to everyone's delight, Lorde. Because why wouldn't the two coolest girls in showbiz who sing catch pop jams and have enviable hair be BFFs?"

Taylor and Lorde were first seen together in NYC at Shake Shack last month, where Seventeen wrote that they presumably talked about boys over chocolate milkshakes (yum!). And now, they're such besties that Lorde went all the way down under to Australia to celebrate Tay's bday. It definitely looked like they had a great time together! Check out some pics from Taylor's party below:

Taylor and the whole party! Taylor tweeted on Twitter: "The best birthday I've ever had."

Happy birthday, Taylor! We can't wait to see what next year's party will be!

Payton Rae, the 18-year-old country music star whose global fan base has generated over 13 million YouTube hits for her music and videos, is onto her next project! Gone Girl, a four-song EP of original music, is scheduled for release on December 17, and she's already released her newest song from the album: Gone Girl. It's a fun song that's definitely full of girl power - check it out:

Payton Rae is the face of ALYCE Paris, so of course our favorite part of the video was seeing the brand new ALYCE Paris dresses that she was wearing in the video! And, we especially loved that part of her video consisted of walking the ALYCE Paris runway!

In the runway scenes, she wore Claudine for ALYCE style 2311, a short dress that has a beaded bustier illusion waist bodice with large stones on the waistband and a metal fabric skirt. Definitely very rocker chick, just like Payton!

In some of the other scenes, Payton wore ALYCE Paris style 4370, a beaded tulle cocktail dress with deep V-Neck and open back. It's such a perfect look for the Holidays!

That's not all from Payton and ALYCE Paris, though! Along with the new song and EP, Payton will be going on a tour that's sponsored by ALYCE Paris, named after her new song, "Gone Girl." The tour will kick off in Chicago on Jan 20; stops in Boston, Columbus, OH, and Augusta, SC will take place, with additional cities (and further details about the tour) announced at PaytonRaeMusic.com. So, keep a look-out for when Payton will be stopping by your town!

This is the Week (and month) of Miley Cyrus! Just a few days ago, her new album, Bangerz, was made available on iTunes for free streaming, and last night was the premiere of her MTV documentary Miley: The Movement. All we have to say, is we watched it and LOVED it.

The documentary gave such great insight into this pivotal moment in her life and career, where she is trying to re-shape her sound and image. She talks about what it's like growing up as the daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus and having music in her blood, and what that means for her moving forward. It also goes into great detail depicting what went into putting together her controversial VMA performance.

We especially loved her response to all the hype that came from the performance. Here's some of our favorite parts from her comments:

"You're always going to make people talk; you might as well make them talk for like two weeks. We've been laughing about all of the news because everyone's so serious...If I really wanted to come out as a raunchy sex show, I wouldn't have been dressed up as a damn bear."

So true! Another comment of hers that we loved was:

"I feel lucky that I don't have to fit in...If you can't express yourself, you're not very free."

We can definitely agree with that! Miley is definitely being herself, and that is something to be proud of.

If you didn't get to catch the premiere last night, there will be many re-runs on MTV. They will also be showing a special 90 minute version with extra footage this coming Sunday, October 6th, so don't miss out! You can watch the trailer here:

Snippets of Miley Cyrus' new album, entitled Bangerz, have been dropping all weekend, and now the whole album is streaming for FREE on iTunes! The album was made available to stream on September 30th, 4 days before the album will be available in stores to purchase.

The album definitely shows Miley leaving behind her Disney Channel Hannah Montana days and connection to her dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, as a country singer, but we're totally loving it! From her VMAs performance to her new "Wrecking Ball," music video, there's certainly been a lot of hype surrounding her new "bad girl" image. And, to answer all the ridicule, Miley said in the MTV documentary Miley: the Movement, "I just needed to let go of the past in a way, so I felt like I could be the bad b---h I am." All we can say is rock on to that!

In conjunction with Mike WiLL Made It as the partial producer of the album, Miley has a completely new sound, so it's great to get to listen to it before the album hits stores. It's an emotionally driven album, with Miley already revealing that one song, "Drive," was written during a difficult time. She told FASHION Magazine, "I wrote it while I was working on Valentine's Day. Emotionally it was such a hard time. It is about needing to leave someone but not really wanting to completely cut yourself off from the relationship. It’s a time when you want to leave but you can’t. It's about moving on."

Here’s the full list of the songs on the Bangerz album:

1. “Adore You”
2. “We Can’t Stop”
3. “SMS (Bangerz),” featuring Britney Spears
4. “4×4,” featuring Nelly
5. “My Darlin’,” featuring Future
6. “Wrecking Ball”
7. “Love Money Party,” featuring Big Sean
8. “#GETITRIGHT”
9. “Drive”
10. “FU,” featuring French Montana
11. “Do My Thang”
12. “Maybe You’re Right”
13. “Someone Else”
14. “Rooting for my Baby”
15. “On My Own”
16. “Hands in the Air,” featuring Ludacris

The 2013 CMT Music Awards on Tuesday, June 5 at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena had all of our favorite country music ladies walking the red carpet. And, you can bet that they looked stunning! From sexy short dresses that looked so perfect for summer, to glamorous gowns that had us wishing prom season wasn't coming to an end, we were swooning over all of the looks! As always, it was tough to narrow it down to a few best dressed, but, after much contemplation, we picked out our three favorites. Check them out below, as well as how you can get their looks for your next formal or semi-formal event!

Taylor Swift never disappoints when it comes to fashion (or music!), so it's no surprise that she landed in our top 3 list. She wore a strapless nude embroidered high-low Elie Saab gown. With her hair back, the focus was definitely on how gorgeous her dress was!

Sherri Hill style 8300 is an absolute perfect way to get Taylor's look. It is an elegant and simple sequined strapless dress with an asymmetrical hemline that you can rock in nude, just like Taylor. Or, find another color that you love even more - it comes in a variety of colors, such as red, coral, green, black, brown, and navy.

Kristen Bell wore an elegantly laced little black number from Zuhair Murad. It's such a beautiful cocktail dress that fit her so well!

To get Kristen's look, check out Sherri Hill style 2957. Twinkling accents completely coat its form-fitting sweetheart bodice, and lace detailing adds the perfect touch of elegance. Sheer material stretches up to produce an illusion panel with a scooped neckline.

Kellie Pickler just won Dancing with the Stars, and she was certainly showing off her win on the red carpet! She wore a plunging pink sequined gown with a beautiful open back.

For a sexy pink sequined look like Kellie's, Temptation style 2073 is the perfect choice. It's a long sequin dress featuring a halter neckline and open back. The silver sequin detailing under the bust helps to show off your curves!

Taylor Swift has worn many beautiful dresses, but one of our all-time favorites is still the silver sequined number she wore to the 42nd Annual Country Music Awards in Nashville in 2008. The gown was perfectly form-fitting to her figure, and the beautiful silver sparkles had her shining all night!

For those that love the celebrity styles and want to rock them for prom, it can be difficult to find a similar look sometimes. But this year, worry not! Faviana made a dress that's just like Taylor Swift's 42nd CMAs dress - Faviana style 6711! Inspired by Taylor's dress, it's a sequin evening gown with mesh straps. The best part about it, though, is if you loved Taylor's look, but rather wear it in a different color, Faviana made the dress in six different hues: Royal, Hunter Green, Lipstick, Silver, White, and Black. Check out some of the colors below, and you can click the pictures or the link above to see the rest of the shades.

It's a stunning dress, and you'll without a doubt be the star of Prom Night wearing it!
