At this point, Taylor Swift could literally sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" with President Obama and I wouldn't even be shocked. Girlfriend's got just about THE MOST stacked Rolodex I've ever seen, and it's getting borderline unfair having to talk about it all the time.

I ask you: How do you feel knowing there is a real, live human being in this world (under the age of 25, no less) who has already dueted with Justin Bieber, UsherShawn Colvin, Nelly, Nicki Minaj, Jimmy Eat World, Andy Grammer, Switchfoot and Ellen DeGeneres?! Now add Flo Rida to that list! During her "Speak Now" tour stopover in Miami, Taylor swift brought the "Hangover" singer up on stage to help her cover his smash "Right Round." And of course Taylor nailed it as usual.

Dressed in a sparkly black dress with a gold belt, Taylor seemed a little starstruck like a true Flo fan as she jumped around excitedly watching like a schoolgirl as Flo rapped his verses like a boss. Taylor took over vocal duties for Ke$ha who originally sang the record's hook: "You spin my head right round/Right round/When you go down/When you go down." (And don't even pretend you don't already know the rest of the lyrics by heart, OK?)

Of course, Taylor was so appreciative of Flo's amazing cameo that she did him a solid and got him a bajillion more followers Twitter name-dropped him: "Miami was awesome! Thanks to all the fans who traveled from all over, and to for singing 'right round' with me! Insane night!"

For three years, Jamie Tworkowski has been on a mission to harness the influence of your favorite bands to raise awareness about the very serious depression that can come hand in hand with the stereotypical rock star lifestyle. The same depression that affects an estimated 19 million Americans and can lead to suicide -- the third-leading cause of death among 18-24 year olds.

What started as a project to help out a friend in need has blossomed into a full on movement called To Write Love On Her Arms. Tworkowski has brought his message to church groups, universities, music festivals and, most of all, the internet. To Write Love On Her Arms has enough of a following on MySpace and Facebook to populate a small country.

But it didn't happen overnight. Tworkowski's first major ally was inspirational San Diego rock outfit, Switchfoot. His friend, drummer Chad Butler, was the first to wear one of the now infamous To Wear Love On Her Arms t-shirts onstage. Since then the minimal design has graced the celebrated torsos of Paramore, Evanescence, Bayside, Forever The Sickest Kids and SO many more.

Tworkowski's latest college tour, starting Friday in Florida, takes him across the American South to California, this time accompanied by North Carolina folk crooner, Josh Moore. The complete calendar of TWLOHA events is here. The famous t-shirts are here. Everything else you need, including resources to give or get a helping hand through hard times, is available on TWLOHA.com. Visit often.

Fiction Family is what happens when the soaring, epic rock of Switchfoot collides head on with the romantic, modern bluegrass of Nickel Creek. Well... sort of. Back in 2005, Switchfoot frontman Jon Foreman started laying down some tracks on the side with Nickel Creek guitarist Sean Watkins. To begin with. they called themselves "The Real SeanJon," hoping Diddy would sue and give them a huge publicity bump.

Alas, no lawsuit, but Sean and Jon have completed a full-length album called Fiction Family (go figure), out on ATO Records as of last week. The first single's called "When She's Near," and it's kinda just what you'd expect. A hooky ballad mellowed out with intricate fingerpicking, heartfelt lyrics and power-pop harmony breaks. Pristine pop sensibilities filtered simultaneously through arena rock and country sweetness. Switchfoot meets Nickel Creek. Listen up!
