The US music magazine "Billboard" named Taylor Swift "Woman of the Decade", for her a new decade in her life has now begun: The singer celebrated her 30th birthday at the weekend - and not too short.
Because before Swift went to her own party at the Oscar Wilde restaurant in New York on Friday, she had a gig at the "iHeartRadio Z100 Jingle Ball" in Madison Square Garden - and was serenaded by her audience. Swift reacted with emotion: "It was the most beautiful thing I have ever heard," she said.
In addition, a huge cat cake was pushed onto the stage for her: In addition to the "Happy Birthday Taylor" lettering, photos of the heads of her rather grim-looking domestic cats named Meredith, Benjamin and Olivia were shown.
A cat cake is not enough
But the one birthday cake didn't last that evening: There was also a cake at the party with Swift's friends. This was decorated with roses - and also with cat likeness.

While the cat lover's pets could only take part in the party in the form of photos, the guest list was prominently stocked. In addition to supermodel Gigi Hadid and singer Camila Cabello, the actor couple Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds were also invited.

Taylor seems to have liked the festival: "The most violent Christmas party of mankind," she wrote under photos that she published on Instagram. Although this translation is not accurate, because instead of the term "mankind", which means "humanity" in English, she used the word "womankind", which can be translated as "female world" or "female world". She also wrote that she was grateful to her fans and would try forever to be recognizable.
Taylor Swift won five awards at the American Music Awards (AMA) at the end of November. She also tops the Forbes list of the highest paid stars.
On Thursday - a day before her birthday - Swift had commented on the "Woman of the Decade" award. "When women are successful in this industry, people always look for other reasons," Swift said in her acceptance speech.
Sometimes you suspect "a male producer" or "a clever record label", says Swift. "It happens to women in music when they have success and power that go beyond people's comfort zone."
