HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — Taylor Swift may have parted ways with Taylor Lautner, but that doesn't mean her Valentine's Day co-star is any less sexy.
In the April issue of Elle magazine, the 20-year-old country star is asked who she thinks is hot.
"Um, well ... Taylor Lautner," she replied.
Whether the question was posed before or after the former couple's December breakup is unknown, but Swift does admit that failed romances can make for good music material.

LOS ANGELES — Taylor Swift's label is coming to her defense after widespread criticism about the singer's vocals during a duet with Stevie Nicks at Sunday's Grammy Awards.
"She is the voice of this generation. She speaks directly to (her fans), and they speak directly back to her," said Scott Borchetta, CEO of Big Machine Records, in an interview with the Associated Press. "This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note. This is about a true artist and writer and communicator. It's not about that technically perfect performance."
Borchetta said the criticism of Swift, who won four Grammys at the 52nd annual ceremony, has been "over the top."

LOS ANGELES — Beyoncé and Taylor Swift ruled the show Sunday night at the 52nd annual Grammy Awards, with each star earning a place in music history.
Beyoncé racked up six victories, earning her the distinction of most Grammys won by a female artist in a single night. But it was Swift who captured the evening's top prize, album of the year, making her the youngest artist in history to claim the coveted trophy.
"I just hope that you know how much this means to me ... that we get to take this back to Nashville," said the 20-year-old Swift as she accepted the honor for her sophomore release Fearless. "Oh my God, our families are freaking out in their living rooms. My dad and my little brother are losing their minds in the living room right now."

HOLLYWOOD, Calif. — It appears the "Taylors" have reached the end of the line.
Country star Taylor Swift and New Moon hunk Taylor Lautner have split after three months of dating, a source tells Us Weekly.
"It wasn't really developing into anything, and wasn't going to, so they decided they were better as friends," an insider close to Swift said. "There was no chemistry."
Swift, 19, and Lautner, 17, first sparked romance buzz when they attended a Los Angeles Kings hockey game together in October. They followed that with a dinner date with Swift's mom the following night. The pair first got close when they shot the upcoming romantic comedy, Valentine's Day.

NASHVILLE — It has been some kind of year for Taylor Swift.
The 19-year-old star added to her magical 2009 at Wednesday night's Country Music Awards, becoming the youngest artist ever to win the coveted entertainer of the year trophy.
"I'll never forget this moment because at this moment everything that I ever wanted has just happened to me," a tearful Swift said upon accepting the honor.
Swift won all four awards for which she was nominated. She also got some more payback after Kanye West famously interrupted her at September's MTV Video Music Awards.

NEW YORK — Taylor Swift has written another hit song, this one in the form of her hilarious Saturday Night Live monologue.
The first-time host fired plenty of shots in her musical number dubbed "Monologue Song (La La La)," including one directed at her former flame, Joe Jonas.
"You might think I'd bring up Joe, that guy who broke up with me on my phone, but I'm not going to mention him," sang Swift. "Hey Joe, I'm doing real well. Tonight I'm hosting SNL, but I'm not going to brag about that."
Swift also had news for people thinking she's since found love in the arms of Taylor Lautner.
"If you're wondering if I might be dating a werewolf from Twilight," sang Swift, who then mouthed, "Hi, Taylor" and blew a kiss.
