Taylor Swift Celebrates a Quiet 21st Birthday
Taylor Swift turned 21 on Monday, Dec. 13, and she began celebrating her big day in the Nashville studios of radio station
WSIX with retiring deejay Gerry House and his staff.
Gerry presented Taylor with a cake and a birthday card, which helped start her day off with a few laughs. "There's a dog on the front looking really peaceful," Taylor explained for radio listeners. "It says, 'Oh, yeah!' [opening card to read inside] 'Hope your birthday leaves you scratched in all the right places.' That's classy, thank you!" she said with a laugh.
Gerry asked Taylor what she had planned for her milestone birthday. "Plans? For my birthday? This is it! This was all I planned for," she joked, noting the inclement weather plaguing Music City. "It's snowing outside ... it snowed yesterday, so I don't really know, it kind of limits activities. I may sit inside my apartment and just like pretend I'm in a snow globe. But that's all I really have planned for today. No pressure or anything ... it's been great so far. Later on, I might have plans, but not really during the day."
Just a few days earlier, Taylor hinted at what her birthday celebration might entail, saying, "I love having a Christmas-themed birthday party so people can give each other presents at my birthday party, so it's not so much a spotlight [on my] birthday. Especially with a 21st birthday, where people are like, 'Huh? Huh? What's she gonna do?' I didn't want it to be a crazy club thing. I just want it to be very me, and the me thing to do would be to have a Christmas birthday party."
Taylor told her Twitter followers she spent
the night before her big day "dancing around my room alone to @
pink's greatest hits cd," after having an
early celebration with two close friends who "brought a pizza with a lit 21 candle on it and bday hats."
Taylor's rep is quoted saying that the singer happily celebrated Monday evening with friends and family -- a fitting end to her special day.
Taylor's rumored boyfriend
Jake Gyllenhaal was not in attendance for the party though,
PEOPLE reports that the actor was in LA.

How's that? Sure, poor Miley only makes 48 million a year, but she is working on a new movie right now. I like Taylor, but Miley is my sexy dream girl and they are both unlucky in love so it is kind of a draw.
Miley has publicity of the damned.
Well, maybe. But Miley just needs better friends like Taylor. Taylor was in the Hannah Montana movie and at least was friends with Miley at that time.
"Taylor Swift Celebrates a Quiet 21st Birthday"... Until Kanye West busted into the room and grabbed the card out of her hand...

@John- That is too funny. Thanks for the laugh.
Priceless!!!! I love this, John!
Taylor Swift has a good head on her shoulders; she can celebrate a quiet birthday without making an rear end of herself like Miley Cyrus and the others - Way to go Taylor!

Taylor used to bug the heck out of me, because she was plastered all over the place and dating so many guys (lucky girl). However, given the high jinxs of her counter parts, like Miley, I like Taylor. So what if she is all over the place, she is a good singer and seems to be a nice girl with good values.

I have all Taylor's CDs, but she is not that innocent. She just keeps better secrets. She even dated that player John Mayer. And now he is after Miley too.
By the way, Happy Birthday Taylor and keep being a good role model.
