Taylor Swift Reveals Her Biggest Fear

"They're like a grenade waiting to completely injure you to the point where�okay, you can't see a sea urchin if you're in the Caribbean and you're like, 'This water's so beautiful. It's amazing!' and you're walking, it's clear water, you can't see a sea urchin's right there. You step on one and it has barbs and it goes into whatever it touches and then you have to go to the emergency room and it has to be surgically removed. You could lose your foot. You could lose your hand. You could lose your hand trying to get it off your foot. I don't like sea urchins."

Swift also discussed her (sort of) new cat, Olivia Benson, who was named after her favorite Law and Order: SVU character. Her cat's full name is actually Detective Olivia Benson in honor of the character's position on the show, but since then, the human Olivia Benson has been promoted to Sergeant. "It's very confusing for the cat," Swift told Ellen. "Also for me."

But, Swift has another name for her cat when they're just hanging around the house: "Dibbles," which she says better fits her kitty's personality. Read more here.

Tim McGraw Goes Live For Shotgun Rider Video

Filmed at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom at the Manhattan Center last month the night his new album Sundown Heaven Town dropped (Sept. 16), "Shotgun Rider" shows all the elements of a McGraw concert.

At the video's start we see McGraw backstage fixing his iconic black hat before strapping on his guitar. Dressed from head to toe in black, the country singer croons to the audience, who are seen taking photos on their camera phones.

Throughout the four-minute clip we can see McGraw running into the crowd shaking fans hands, serenading girls in the front row and dancing along onstage.

"This is one of those songs that really paints a picture and sets a mood," McGraw said in a press statement. "In my mind, you look over and see the person that you love next to you sitting in the front seat, and you think, 'How good do I have it? Life is perfect.' There is a certain warmth to this song and several others like it that really establish the tone for the whole album."

Bleachers Turn Moving Ice Cream Truck Into Stage In New Video

If that seems crazy know that it was all in good fun for their new "Rollercoaster" video, the Springsteen-indebted single from their debut album Strange Desire. Singer Jack Antonoff, who also plays guitar in fun., wanted to go a less obvious route for the video and channel the visuals he saw as a kid.

"The idea of getting on top of a car and playing on a highway felt distinctly '90s in a way that excited me about videos I saw growing up," Antonoff told Pitchfork, who premiered the video.

However, there was a bit of a hitch with the video, about which Antonoff talked to Radio.com earlier this month. The ice cream truck apparently almost crashed while they shot the clip.

"It wasn't scary in the moment, because we didn't know how dangerous the situation was," Antonoff told Radio.com over the phone days after shooting the clip. "It's not some crap where someone says they were in danger, like we literally were in a very, very treacherous situation, which makes the video more exciting if you know what were were up against, like, 'Oh, well, that's the moment right before the horrible thing almost happened.'"

But as Antonoff told us this scary moment ended up being a good thing in the long run. "It's good because you put yourself in a dangerous situation to make something and it feels cool that you tried," he said. "Not that we did that on purpose, but that's what happened

"I want people to know that when they watch the video, that, you know, it was like real life crazy danger."

Wayne Conye Talks The Real Miley Cyrus and Kesha Project

On their latest album, With a Little Help From My Fwends, they cover the Beatles' entire Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with a little help from their "fwends," including J. Mascis, My Morning Jacket, Foxygen, Phantogram and Maynard James Keenan, and Miley Cyrus. All artists' royalties from the album will be donated to The Bella Foundation, a non-profit organization based in the band's hometown of Oklahoma City that assists low-income, elderly, or terminally ill pet owners with the cost of veterinary care. We spoke with frontman Wayne Coyne about the album, doing covers, pets and some of his famous collaborators.

I'm really curious what it's like when you work with Miley Cyrus: is she like what you thought she'd be like? Did she have a lot of handlers with her when she was in the studio?

Last year, if there was a "person of the year," it was Miley Cyrus. I had a sense that she just didn't give a f-k. She had so many people telling her how stupid she was, or how embarrassing she was. But also, she had a lot of people telling her how absolutely great she was. And I could tell that she was like, "I don't give a f-k what people think." And to me, that's when the power of music and art really starts to accelerate.

Because if you're really trying to sell records, that's a difficult area to play in. If you're trying to be popular, that's difficult. If you're trying to be something other than yourself, you're probably gonna lose. But I could tell with her, she's like, "I'm just doing whatever the f-k I want and I don't give a f-k what people think." And I think she knew that we were fans, and last year on my birthday she tweeted a happy birthday wish to me and said that I was one of her favorite artists, and I tweeted her right back. We just got each other's numbers after that and became friends. I think if you were around her, after five minutes you'd go, "Oh, I get it." I don't think I would have any fun being in the studio with someone that was surrounded by managers and handlers. She's not like that at all. I think that most of the people that are going to want to be around me aren't like that.

Even when we did stuff with Kesha, three years ago now, she wasn't like that. Everybody's always like, "Working with Kesha: what was that like?" We just went to her house, and it was just her and us. There wasn't anybody else there, there wasn't anybody telling us what to do. It was our songs, and we recorded until about four in the morning, and then we went home. But Miley, in a sense, is like me in that she just does what she wants to do. She's the boss, she's not calling anybody saying, "Can I do a song with Flaming Lips?" If she wants to do it, she just does it. And anybody that works for her says, "Great, let's go do it!" And I think her camp does not look at it as being absurd. They know her, she's a freak. I can tell you for sure, she's a bigger freak than I am. You'd love her. I mean, if you were around her, the perception that people have, that would completely disappear, you'd just love her. She's absolutely fun and full of love.

I don't know if you're familiar with the controversy between her and Dr. Luke. But is he the reason why your collaborative album with her got shelved?

Well, yeah, when I go do music, I don't think about lawyers and contracts and things, I've kind of lived in this Flaming Lips world for so long. We really are just doing what we want to do, and Miley Cyrus is like that. She doesn't have a dilemma like Kesha did, or does.

I think Kesha, when we did this stuff, we didn't know how it would turn out, we didn't have that much time together. But the stuff that we did together was just spectacular, and it made us want to do more. And I think we did like four or five songs, and then Kesha would remind me, "Wayne, I can't put this music out, Dr. Luke will kill me." I was like, "Oh! I didn't know!" I don't really consider it: to me, it's just about us and the music and if the music is worth it, I'll do anything I can to make it work. I worked with Erykah Badu, so believe me, I can make anything work! And Erykah is wonderful in her own crazy way.

If the music is great, all these other things that get in the way - like the Dr. Luke thing - it's like, "We can get through that, it'll be OK." I don't really know the situation, only they do, I hope it works out. I hope that everybody can hear this music [that we made], it's great. It will be great, even if it takes five years to come out. The music that we did together, it's just stellar and I know that's why she wants it to come out. I don't know Dr. Luke at all, but when we [Kesha and I] speak, I know there's some anxiety about their relationship. I think she would like to have the freedom to do more things in that spirit. Where it's not - again, I don't know their situation - but so many producers producing her. She could produce herself, that's probably what she is wanting to happen with her own career. I love Kesha, she's great. Miley is a lot more of her own entity, I think the success of Hannah Montana has allowed her to be the king of her own destiny.

And I think Kesha will get to that eventually. She doesn't have that sort of power now, but I think she will eventually.

Singled Out: Chris Koza's Radio Wave

"Radio Wave" is the first single from my new album In Real Time to be released October 28th. "Radio Wave" is a commentary on the multiplex of the new social experience, and the pursuit of meaning in an overwhelming sea of opportunities.

Radio Wave ended up differently than what I initially thought would happen. I brought it into the studio after having loosely charted and fleshing out the arrangement the night before. I gave the charts to the musicians, and we started jamming on the chord progression while I hummed over the top. I had some ideas for hooks and a groove, but the melody was in shambles. After we did 2-3 takes - which is all we had time for at the end of a long, last day of tracking - everyone felt fine; that the song "played itself." It was in my personal studio that over the next year I could write and re-write the lyrics, change the format of the song, and sing about 200 takes before it felt like the features had taken shape on an anonymous malleable form.

Overall, this song is a bit of an Americana-disco-outlier on the album. It's got the same textures as some of the other train-beat shuffles and ballads; upright bass, acoustic guitar, pedal steel, and piano - but the sum of the parts gives it a middle-of-the-night-wet-streets-loner-dance-party vibe.

The second best place to listen to this song is probably in a car or on headphones while going to meet friends. The first best place is cranked up loud at a house party where it will flow easily between The Bee Gee's, Gotye, Chris Issak, and Robert Palmer.

Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself here and learn more about the album and find Chris' upcoming tour dates with Ingrid Michaelson right here!

Wait there is more!
