Fashion Face-off: Taylor Swift vs. Rihanna in Long-Sleeved LBD's

It's a strange day in fashion history when Taylor Swift is wearing the same thing as Rihanna.

We typically see the "Trouble" singer in something much more glam and the Diamonds World Tour headliner in something much more insane, but this time their wardrobe worlds collided in something that feels like a stretch for both their styles.

RiRi's Balmain mini is borderline boring in comparison to what we've seen the "Stay" singer in lately. It doesn't have sheer panels, fatigue print or her name all over it! That said it is insanely short and somewhat see-through, so at least her edge is still mostly intact.

Tay-Tay goes for that same edgy VMA's moment in this equally tight take, but her plunging V neckline isn't plunging enough, nor is that skirt quite as mini. 

If this is a battle of who looks better, our answer is Taylor. But the question is who looks hotter, there is no question in our book. What's your say?

Taylor Swift: Red lipstick makes me feel 'fancy'

Taylor Swift likes red lipstick because it gives her a ''fancy feeling''.

The 23-year-old singer is often seen rocking red lipstick on stage and says the bold fashion statement reminds her of glamorous women throughout history who have inspired her.

She said: ''I like red lipstick because wearing it gives me this feeling of fancy things, elegant ladies and women throughout history who I've looked up to.

''My grandmother was absolutely beautiful, even in her old age. She always wore red lipstick. Maybe that's what I like about it.''

The blonde beauty maintains her gorgeous cherry-coloured lips by following tips from her make-up artists, who always blot then reapply the colour.

She added to Top of the Pops magazine: ''One of the best tips is they [make-up artists] have is put on the red lipstick, blot it with a tissue, then they put powder over the tissue and sort of press it onto your lips, then reapply the lipstick. It turns into a stain that lasts much longer.''

Despite always looking perfectly polished, Taylor doesn't bother having manicures as she uses her fingers while playing guitar and it would be difficult to maintain.

She added: ''I'm not really into doing much with my nails, since I play guitar, I do like blue though!''

Taylor Swift Meet and Greet Contest Rigged So a "Fat Old Creep" Can Win and Sniff Her Hair

Taylor Swift is currently single. But if she has a thing for men twice her age who enjoy sniffing girls' hair—and if the Internet has its way—she might soon be meeting the man of her dreams.  

Boston's Kiss 108 radio station is currently holding a contest to find Taylor Swift's No. 1 fan and the winner will receive two (2) tickets to her upcoming show, will meet Taylor and have his or her picture taken with Taylor. 

To win, all you have to do is explain in 137 character or less why you deserve the prize. Charles Z. did just that: "I'm a 39 year old man and I love Taylor so much and don't care that both adults and children mock me for it. But I feel 22 if that helps."

Kinda sweet, actually!

One of Charles friends wasn't confined to 137 characters though and expanded upon why he deserved to win: "A local radio station has a contest going to give some lucky teeny bopper a chance to meet [Taylor Swift]," he wrote on 4chan, an anonymous message board that some might describe as the depths of Internet Hell.

"My creepy 39 year old friend named Charles would like to crush all those girls dreams (and then sniff Taylor Swifts hair cuz he's into that), by winning this instead," he continued. "Help him crush the dreams of these girls and give him a chance to make a complete ass of himself by blatantly just sniffing her hair with cameras rolling."

Well...less sweet!

Charles (a "fat old guy creep") was in 25th place of over 3,7000 fans in the running when the message was posted. Then 4chan latched on to the cause and within 24 hours, Charles was in first place.

There is nothing in the official contest rules that disqualifies fat old guy creeps (the only age specification is that applicants must be 13-years or older, which 39 is), but what is grounds for disqualification is "receiv[ing] multiple and/or irregular votes from the same user or users."

Beyond simply throwing their manically devoted manpower behind Charles, 4chan allegedly wrote a script that automates the voting process using 500 different computers from around the world. 

The contest ends this Sunday, July 21. If all goes according to (4chan's) plan, Taylor's ballad about Charles Z., "You Smell Like Your Mom's Basement" could appear on her next album, release TBD.
