Taylor Swift has hit the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for the second week running with her latest single 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together'.

Taylor's forthcoming new album, 'Red', will be released in late October and features a collaboration with Ed Sheeran, who recently described the American as the "perfect" musician.

She is also set to debut her single for the first time live at the MTV VMAs 2012 on the 6^th of September.

Other artists making an appearance are One Direction and Alicia Keys.

Meanwhile, the 'Love Story' singer will premiere the official music video to 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' later today (30^th August) and recently unveiled a teaser clip from the promo.
