Taylor Swift's response to naysayers

Singer Taylor Swift has opened up about her thoughts on people who have criticised her for penning down songs on her past relationships.

The 23-year-old feels it is sexist of people to look down upon it.

"For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way - that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist," Vanity Fair magazine quoted Swift as saying.

Swift, who recently parted ways with singer Harry Styles, has dated Joe Jones, Taylor Lautner and Conor Kennedy in the past.

Justin Bieber credits his love of Selena Gomez for his songs on new album Believe and single Boyfriend

Bieber credits his own experience of love for giving him a new take on pop music's oldest subject for his latest hit album Believe and single Boyfriend.

"Love has been talked about over and over and over again, so you have to be creative," he said yesterday. "It's those moments that happen to me - I try to write about those moments because then it's more personal and the fans feel like it's me."

And there was plenty of love in the room during Bieber's intimate performance for Channel V, Take 40 and Hot 30 fans at the Entertainment Quarter yesterday afternoon.

"I will be back sooner than a year this time. I love you, I love you, take care," he said. 

With more than 25 million Twitter followers and another 43 million-plus Facebook likes, he has his work cut out for him keeping them all happy. He will also return to the Overseas Passenger Terminal for his Sunrise appearance today.
