Hope to see you there!

Okay, so first, I have to say I am HUGE fan of Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Carrie Underwood, but in particular, Taylor Swift. In fact, I was just discussing on Twitter last Friday how much I still love LOVE STORY. Gives me chills and makes me all teary-eyed, even after hearing it so many times.

So, on this particular Monday afternoon, I was out walking my dogs and SPEAK NOW came up in rotation (just after Carrie Underwood’s COWBOY CASANOVA, actually….and while we’re at it, Katy Perry’s E.T. is in heavy rotation at my house right now) and I thought to myself, “She is so cool, and I love how she tells a story in the song.”

That’s not the first time I’ve thought that, of course, but it is the first time I’ve thought that and then returned to the house to find out this bit of news:

At various Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and Carrie Underwood concerts this summer (Eeeeeee!), Alloy Teen Media will be handing out these most awesome light-up key chains with Queen of the Dead on one side and the most fabulous Ally Carter’s Uncommon Criminals on the other!

The keychains also list links for individual pages for Queen of the Dead and Uncommon Criminals, where you can read the first chapter or so.
