If 2014 was anyone's year, it was definitely the year of Taylor Swift! She rocked the year in every way possible, from touring to releasing her new album 1989, which quickly topped the album charts. Tay totally knows when and who to give thanks for all her amazing feats, though - her fans! In November, she made the news when she gifted fans some holiday goodies and stopped by a local Starbucks to take selfies with unsuspecting fans that were in the store. But, that wasn't all Taylor had for her fans this holiday season! She ended 2014 with a gift to let ALL of her fans get a little peak into exactly what she did this holiday season by posting a super cute and touching video!

The video is called "Taylor Swift's Gift Giving of 2014," and the video consists of exactly what it was named - Tay documenting herself wrapping presents for her fans, and then the after math of the fans getting those presents! The description of the video says:

"2014 was the year of many wonderful things for Taylor and her fans.

Shortly after the massively success release of 1989, fans on social media began to experience another phenomenon. After something that became known as #TayLurking, whereupon every detail of a fan's likes, job, whereabouts was studied intently... A single Santa emoji would appear on their socials.

From one Taylor Swift.

...these are their stories."

So, without further ado (or spoilers!), grab a tissue and sit down to watch this epic video of Tay wrapping presents, some words she has for her kittens, and her fans opening them!

Super cute, right?! We definitely teared up a little bit (or a lot). Tay may very well be the sweetest celebrity ever! If this brought a smile to your face, make sure to share with your family and friends!

We love the song All About That Bass by Meghan Trainor here at Rissy Roo's - not only does it have a great (dance) beat, but Meghan sings about such a positive message. In a world where it's difficult to find pop and dance songs with breakthrough meanings and messages to believe in, Meghan brings to the forefront a body positive message that all girls should keep in mind.

Well, if you've been following the song at all, you know there's been some controversy behind it. So, Canadian singer/songwriter Natty Valenia took Meghan's smash hit song to a whole new message of positivity and inclusiveness by re-writing some of the lyrics! Natty made the song a little more inclusive for girls of all shapes and sizes...including girls without curves (as Natty mentions she is one of those girls).

Here are some of the body-positive lyrics that Natty re-wrote the song to be:

It's not about your waist
'Bout your waist, don't settle
For a guy who has no taste, has no taste, don't settle
It's time that you embrace
You've got grace, don't settle
It's not about your waist, 'bout the size of your waist

So perfect, right? She even re-titled it "Not About Your Waist." Listen to the whole All About That Bass parody cover and Natty's reasoning for writing it here:

If you've never heard the original song "All About That Base" by Meghan Trainor (or just want to re-listen to it), here it is for your listening and viewing pleasure:

We'll be waiting patiently for more songs from both Meghan and Natty! They both have a lot of positive messages to share, so we can't wait to hear more. What do you think of the original All About That Bass and Natty's re-write? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts!

Remember on Monday how we posted about a chic black cat Halloween look, matching chick nail art, a little black dress, cat ears, cat eye makeup, and cat eye glasses all together? Well, we have more information to help you finish off that black cat look! Seventeen Magazine recently posted a step-by-step video on how to create that perfect black cat makeup look...from the classic cat eyes to a cute black nose and even whiskers! Check out the black cat makeup tutorial here:

http://youtu.be/9KQxaANch48

Such a cute look! Lupe, known as naturallybellexo on YouTube (who works with Seventeen), decided to create her black cat look with a black romper, rather than a little black dress, like we mentioned earlier this week. Both styles work so well for a black cat look, and both are so easy to take from Halloween to any other night out or event you go to.

If you want to rock a romper like Lupe, we love Shail K style 3464. This hand beaded, sparkling one piece will make you look so sexy, and the silver accenting throughout the romper reminds us of stripes on a cat! We especially love the sparkles on this romper - they're a perfect way to stand out in the crowd on nights like Halloween, a Holiday party, or New Year's Eve. The romper also features a sweetheart neckline, defined waist, and unique open back design. If it's a cold night out (like Halloween or the Holidays usually are), don't be afraid to pair this look with black tights - rompers look great with tights and is perfectly on-trend.

A black cat is a classic (and SO Roo Girl!) choice for Halloween, so you definitely can't go wrong with this look. And, you can always find unique ways to add your own personal style to the look by adding jewelry.... and choosing between a romper vs. a LBD, of course! Are you planning on being a black cat? Do you have any tips, tricks, or ideas on how to finish off the look? Leave a comment below!

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!

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!

Even though we have seen many types of "promposals" this season, we must say the story of Matt Peterson asking Miley Cyrus to be his prom date takes the cake! Matt, a mega fan of Miley, got the chance of a lifetime to meet the star when she picked him out of a group of screaming fans in a parking lot and asked him to join her on a local radio show. For Matt, it was love at first sight, and since the meet and greet Matt says Miley has changed his life. In order to repay her, Matt was determined to take the singer to his prom and show her a night she would never forget. To do so, he created a video, which may be the cutest and most daring "promposal" yet!

Even though the caring star would have loved to be Peterson's prom date, due to scheduling conflicts with her Bangerz concert tour, she was unable to accept the invitation. However, Miley did offer quite the consolation prize and invited Matt to her Arizona concert! Super excited for the show, Matt created his own unique prom "tuxedo" covered in 162 iron-on pictures of Miley's tongue, which she loves to stick out when posing for the paparazzi. Impressed with Matt's efforts, Miley gave him the real prom experience by creating prom style photos and inviting him on stage! She ended the evening by serenading Matt with her song "Adore You." We are so impressed with Miley's energy and passion for her beloved fan, and so is Matt! If you ask him..."She was the nicest person. I thought I was in love with her before—she's the most amazing person." Way to go, Matt, for taking the chance on a super star..and  Miley for possibly being the best prom date ever!

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!
