Aug. 7, 2008 — Taylor Swift’s sophomore album is one of the most-talked-about projects coming this fall, and fans can get a listen to a part of it simply by watching the Olympics.
"Change" is one of several songs that NBC will use for the soundtrack of its daily highlights from the games in China. Lyrics from the song celebrate facing challenges and earning victory, appropriate topics for a sports event. The song will be available on iTunes beginning Friday with all proceeds slated for Team USA.
Taylor meanwhile won a Teen Choice Award for Breakout Artist this week in Los Angeles.
"It really means a lot to win an award voted on by people my age," she said. "Fan-voted awards mean more to me than anything else, so thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who voted."
Carrie Underwood was named Choice Red Carpet Fashion Icon Female at the same show. And "Ready, Set, Don’t Go" singer Miley Cyrus, who hosted the evening, took home three trophies.
Taylor has some hosting duties on her own agenda. She’ll join Kellie Pickler and Julianne Hough as emcees for ABC’s CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night To Rock on Sept. 8.
