12 < 25 = 19

Just 13 shopping days until Christmas! And Taylor Swift has a wish list. No, not for Christmas, but for her birthday. Taylor turns 19 tomorrow. Last year her record label threw her a big bash and gave her a pink truck – which she later donated to charity. This year, Taylor is throwing a thank-you-to-the-band party, and she’s asking for stationary and a new pair of glasses. She needs them to drive, and her current pair is taped together.

A while back, we told you about the cool New Year’s Eve concert that Trace Adkins was sharing with Lynyrd Skynyrd. The were to open for each other in opposite cities and then swap crowds to headline. That’s been cancelled. Bummer on the economy. The Nashville half of the show was cancelled by the promoter, so Trace pulled out of the Kentucky half to spend time with his family over the holidays. .38 Special will replace Trace in Kentucky.
