Taylor Swift offers "Change" for Olympics, wins Teen Choice award
Wednesday, August 6, 2008 – A brand new song from Taylor Swift premieres this week as part of NBC's broadcast of the 2008 Olympic Games. "Change," which will appear on Swift's sophomore CD (scheduled for release this fall on Big Machine Records), will be one of a few songs used as the soundtrack for daily video highlights shown during the Olympic broadcast. The song was selected by Team USA and NBC for its lyrical content about overcoming challenges and achieving victory, and will be available on iTunes starting this Friday, Aug. 8, with all proceeds benefiting Team USA.
Swift was named Choice Breakout Artist at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, adding a Teen Choice surfboard award to her growing collection of honors. "It really means a lot to win an award voted on by people my age," she said. "Fan voted awards mean more to me than anything else, so thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who voted!"
Held earlier this week in Los Angeles, the awards honor the hottest teen icons in film, television, music, sports and fashion. Swift was nominated for Choice Breakout Artist along with Colbie Callait, Flo Rida, Jordin Sparks and Leona Lewis.
