Music executive Jimmy Ienner passed on Madonna noting “I don’t think she is ready yet“.  Madonna signed with Sire Records in 1982,  and her debut record sold 10 million copies. It was that moment when Jimmy Ienner knew he messed up.

Madonna made the Guinness Book of World Records in 1988 with her third studio album, True Blue. Since then, she has earned multiple appearances, some 20 at least in February 2012, including her insigne record title as the top-selling female recording artist of all time.

Hailing from North East of England, Native Braves are changing the pace with a fresh new sound combining punk, indie, & modern rock.

Everybody is banging on Taylor Swifts door, including A-list celebrities, hoping they can join the American role model on stage. Steven Tyler, Nelly, Mick Jagger, Keith Urban, Justin Timberlake – you name it! Julia Roberts and Joan Baez even crashed the party and danced along side Swift.

Rihanna is the few who won’t join Swift on stage. “I don’t think our brands are the same: I don’t think they match, I don’t think our audiences are the same,” Rihanna explained to the U.K. magazine. “In my mind she’s a role model, I’m not.”

As to why these A-listers are joining Swift onstage is another question. It’s about a fun time on stage with screaming tweens or making Monday morning news.
