Taylor Swift's voice can already be heard on radio stations all over the world, and now she's lending it to the big screen as well. Universal recently announced that the 21-year-old would be voicing the character of Audrey in upcoming 3D film, 'The Lorax,' which now has an official release date of March 12, 2012.The movie, an adaptation of the classic Dr. Seuss children's book, also includes the recognizable vocal talents of Zac Efron, Betty White and Danny DeVito, who plays the title character. Taylor will play the object of Ted's (Efron) affection.
This is not Taylor's first foray into film. The globe-trotting singer played the role of Felicia in the blockbuster film 'Valentine's Day' alongside movie veterans including Julia Roberts, Jennifer Garner, Queen Latifah and Ashton Kutcher. But while the diversely gifted superstar enjoys delving into several areas of entertainment, she insists music will always remain her first love.
"There are so many different kinds of country artists," she tells BBC's 'The One Show.' "They sing about their lives. Every artist in country music right now was raised a different way. Some people sing about pickup trucks, some people sing about bars and whiskey, and I sing about love and breakups."
Taylor has made a record-breaking career out of making music based on her personal life, which she says leaves her friends and family fair game to be included in her songs. "Everyone in my life knows that nobody has a safety pass," she explains. "Anybody can be factored into a verse or chorus at some point."
Taylor is currently in the final week of the European leg of her Speak Now tour. She wraps up her international travels with shows in the United Kingdom and Ireland this week, and then enjoys almost two months off before the United States leg of the trek kicks off on May 27 in Omaha, Nebraska.
