Taylor Swift Just Trademarked A Bunch Of Phrases From Her Latest Album

Taylor Swift since the release of '1989' has basically dominated American pop culture across all forms of media.

She's also become quite a figure in the entertainment business. Earlier this year, she made the decision to rip all of her albums off Spotify, saying: "Everybody's complaining about how music sales are shrinking, but nobody's changing the way they're doing things. They keep running towards streaming, which is, for the most part, what has been shrinking the numbers of paid album sales."

Now, in another business move, she's trademarking catchphrases from her latest album "1989," according to Rolling Stone.

She's trademarked five phrases in all with the US government, according to the legal database Justia.

Shakira Welcomes a Baby Boy!

Shakira and her longtime partner, Gerard Piqué, have just welcomed the birth of their second son, Sasha Piqué Mebarak. Shakira announced the arrival of her son, Sasha Piqué Mebarak, on her website and explained the meaning behind his name. "The name Sasha is of Greek and Russian descent and means 'defender of mankind' and 'warrior,'" her blog states. Sasha arrived Thursday night via C-section at hospital Quirón-Teknon de Barcelona. Sacha joins big brother Milan in the family fold. Although Shakira kept a fairly low profile during her second pregnancy, which was first revealed in August, the 37-year-old blonde beauty has always been open about her plans to expand her family. "I would love to have eight or nine kids with Gerard," she told Latina magazine. "My own fútbol team." Pretty ambitious, right?

The 10 Best K-Pop Songs of 2014

K-pop fans may remember 2014 as a dramatic, and at times heartbreaking, year. Members left groups fans envisioned them in for years, tragedy struck the live scene and the dark sides of the industry were brought to light in the wake of mourning one of the scene's most promising acts. But there's a shining light when fans recall what first attracted them to K-pop -- the music.
Drama aside, South Korean music remained stronger than ever this year with everyone from domestic legends to adorable newcomers all proving that they had something to offer our ears. Like in 2012 and 2013, the Billboard staff once again sifted through the charts and beyond to bring the 10 songs that break language barriers, push conventional music boundaries and best highlight all the K-pop scene has to offer. (And see our list of the 10 best K-pop albums here.)
