Taylor proves just what a pro performer she is, when she has an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction while performing in St. Louis.   Always a role model for our youth, she chooses to continue with her song, rather than become a drama queen!   I guess she can join the ranks of Marilyn Monroe now!  Proud of you Taylor!

According to numbers released by the ticketing service TicketsNow, Swift accounted for an amazing six percent of system-wide sales, good enough to place her sixth on the all-agency list of events for the month.
