The 19-year-old singer-songwriter has yet again put her own personal twang on an established industry. First the pop charts (and the CMAs!), and now this coming month, the cover of InStyle magazine. For the first time ever on a fashion magazine, a cover story will appear in 3-D, visible only through your own personal webcam. So before you start reading Taylor Swift’s article — and after your done skyping — check out her 3-d image (which we'll give you a hint, involves snow!).

Besides her classic country curls, Taylor has many of her own thoughts to share with the readers of InStyle. She even touches on what most readers probably want to know about: her work with fellow young hottie Taylor Lautner! The two Taylors worked on Swift’s first feature film called "Valentine’s Day," and as you can expect she explains it can get kind of confusing having the same name on set — its always "no, not you, the other one!" So the solution the cover girl came up with? "‘How about you guys call me Swifty and call him Taylor?'" Swifty? We think it’ll stick.

The case before you, Crushers, is simple. Hollywood Crush's Sweethearts Court would like you to find whether country crooner Taylor Swift and "New Moon" shapeshifter Taylor Lautner are guilty on charges of dating in the first degree. We will present you with persuasive evidence today and hope that your verdict is in the affirmative. [Bangs gavel] I hereby bring this case of are-they-or-aren't-they to order. Let's proceed.

I assume you, the esteemed jurors, are well aware of the precedence in this case. The name-sharing pair were first snapped together filming scenes for their upcoming rom-com "Valentine's Day" in late July. Swift later said their onscreen lip lock "was life-changing." Fast-forward to fall and the teen dreams were caught sharing a lingering embrace at Swift's concert in Chicago. Which brings us to the past week (when they were, as seen to the right, Spotted! shopping together at Alice + Olivia). Here are the latest developments:

Taylor Lautner has stepped into the spotlight as a passionate young adult star in recent years, but before he stepped into the role of Jacob Black in last year's "Twilight," he was best known for his performance as the title Sharkboy in Robert Rodriguez's 3-D film "The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl." Though Taylor still has many more films in the future to bless us with his beefy biceps, we're honoring the 17-year-old actor with a look back through his younger years.

Click the picture below to follow the evolution of Taylor Lautner in pictures! (You'll be surprised at how quickly he looks so little.)

Long before his career as an actor began, the Michigan-native was much better known as an impressive force in the martial arts community. He practiced karate from ages six to 13. At age 11, he ranked number one in the world for NASKA's Black Belt Open Forms, Musical Weapons, Traditional Weapons and Traditional Forms and at age 12 won the Junior World Championships (if you haven't watched this kick-butt clip already, do it!).

Looks like Joe Jonas will be breaking hearts before cupid has even has a chance to arrive next February 14. Don't worry — we don't mean a girl has taken him off the market (not that we know of, at least), but the Jonas Brother has unfortunately confirmed to Just Jared that contrary to prior reports, he won't be appearing in the ensemble rom com, "Valentine's Day" .

“I actually went for the audition and it was looking really good, but scheduling just wasn’t working out," Joe explained to JJ. Had he have gotten the role, he would have been starring opposite his ex, Taylor Swift — a feat that caused us here at Hollywood Crush to wonder just how many other random connections there were between the 15 + cast members. So we came up with our own version of a "Valentine's Day" family tree, only now we're sadly going to have to cross the well-coiffed singer out of it.

We might have missed Sunday's celebration — why, September 20 means just two months until "New Moon" comes out, of course — but don't think we forgot that in only 55 days, we'll be basking in the glorious presence of Taylor Lautner's abs. To help tide us over until then, check out what the man also known as Jacob Black told Boxoffice Magazine about being shirtless (yay), the possibility of dating a fan (bigger yay), and what's cool about werewolves.

While Taylor hasn't been shy about showing off his bulked-up physique to the cameras, he still isn't used to all the attention surrounding his topless frame — especially when his friends and family are around "It's weird," he says. "It's embarrassing for me [when fans go nuts over his shirtless photos], and I'm sure it's awkward for [my family]." It hasn't gotten to the point where his family teases him about it yet, though — "I'm hoping that doesn't happen because I'll start blushing."

Taylor Swift isn't shy when it comes to talking about Taylor Lautner, her costar and onscreen love interest in "Valentine's Day." And although the duo have minor roles, we do know that from the photos that emerged while they were shooting (including the one from the right), that they may become one of our favorite couples in movie history.

So, it's nice to know where Swift stands when it comes to the ultimate debate: Team Edward vs. Team Jacob. Apparently, she is on Team Jacob, a.k.a. Team Taylor Lautner. "Aw, Tay-Tay. Well, see, I don't know Rob Pattinson, so I would just by default, I'd be on Team Tay," she said on Z-100 about her "Valentine's Day" costar. "I love him. He's so cute!"

Surprisingly, this "Valentine's Day" post isn't to report a new super famous face joining the Hollywood-heavy cast. Nope. Though it seems like just yesterday we were flush with casting news and on-set photos, somehow a trailer for the February 2010 release is already upon us!

Much how I anticipate the movie to be structured, the "Valentine's Day" trailer flashes from super-star couple to super-star couple. There's Julia Roberts and Bradley Cooper! Anne Hathaway and Topher Grace! Hector Elizondo and Shirley Maclaine! Patrick Dempsey and Jennifer Garner! It's like standing on the red carpet at the Academy Awards (or so I imagine).

Taylor Swift is one lucky girl. She's uber-successful, uber-talented, has an amazing sense of style and, well, she also gets to star alongside Taylor Lautner in "Valentine's Day."

For the most part, the on-screen couple have been pretty mum about what fans can expect to see from them in the rom-com, but now Swift is giving us a hint. A very, very tiny, yet completely important hint.

We kind of assumed that there would be some sort of kissing going on between the pair, on-screen, obviously, because well it's been reported. And we always kind of assumed that kissing Lautner would be awesome since well, he's Taylor Lautner. So, it's nice to actually get that confirmation from the VMA-winner herself. She told Justjared.com, very simply that: "It was life-changing!” Read more...

Let's go back. Way back. To 2008. Back then, it didn't seem country-pop princess Taylor Swift could get any hotter. She was the biggest selling artist of the year, after all. But the hardworking performer must have had some even loftier goals among her 2009 New Year's resolutions. In addition to her hotter-than-ever music career, Taylor's been honing her acting skills, guest starring on an episode of "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and scoring a role in the ensemble rom-com "Valentine's Day." As the "Fearless" singer prepares to perform at (and perhaps win a Moonman at) this year's VMAs, Taylor is the focus of this week's "Star Gazing."

Every day a multitude of stars wanders through the halls of MTV News to talk about their latest projects and goof around with staff members. But sometimes we catch stars elsewhere, and that's why we put together Spotted!, a daily compendium of stars in the wild.

Ben Affleck and Demi Moore are definitely going to have lots to discuss next time they run into each other on a red carpet. Both of their attractive spouses (Jennifer Garner and Ashton Kutcher, respectively) were seen massaging their lip muscles over the weekend as they filmed a scene for the upcoming ensemble flick, "Valentine's Day." With so many A-listers headlining this rom com (yeah, we made a chart to figure it all out ourselves), we can't wait to see which other thespians end up in steamy scenes like this one!
