Adam Young Sings Owl City

Adam Young (Owl City) Sings Valentine's Day Message to Taylor Swift

While it might take more than mere chocolates and roses on Valentine's Day to make Taylor Swift swoon, Owl City's Adam Young is hoping to do it through the magic of music. On Monday, Young released a love song on Owl City's blog that was dedicated to Swift and, admittedly, intentionally timed for Valentine's Day.

The ball may now be in Swift's court, but she was the one to throw the first pitch: Young's song is actually an expanded, rearranged and slightly twisted take on Taylor's original track, 'Enchanted.' The original appears on her latest album, 'Speak Now,' and -- get this -- appears to be aimed at Young. Not only are the letters A-D-A-M capitalized in the lyric book, but, furthermore, Swift deliberately used the word 'wonderstruck' in the lyrics -- a word that Young used in what was apparently a memorable email exchange between the two.

Instead of encoding the personalized message, leaving it ambiguous or being as cryptic about it as Swift, Adam comes right out and sings her name, and he even fills in the blanks on his Owl City blog. The artists are said to have met just once, but multiple sources have reported both of them gushing about it.

"Everything about you is lovely," Young writes in an open Valentine's Day letter to Swift, which appears on his blog alongside a stream of the track. "You're an immensely charming girl with a beautiful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale, and, above all, I just want you to know... I was enchanted to meet you too."

Oh yeah -- it's so on.

RuPaul's Drag Race Party

Adam Lambert, Jai Rodriguez Spotted At 'RuPaul's Drag Race' Party

Rocker Adam Lambert and Queer Eye for the Straight Guy alum Jai Rodriguez were among the stars at the premiere party for RuPaul's Drag Race season 3.

Lambert, who just wrapped up his global Glam Nation tour, arrived wearing all black and a hint of blue eye shadow. The American Idol season 8 runner-up turns 29 on January 29.

The 31-year-old Rodriguez plied the red carpet wearing a gruff three-day beard.

Both stars are anticipating the Monday premiere of all-gay cabler Logo's RuPaul's Drag Race, which will be preceded by the show's first-ever casting special.

RuPual unleashed his first search for America's next superstar drag queen two years ago. After crowning two queens, and upping the number of contestants from 9 to 12, America's first drag queen superstar is ready for a third go-around.

Contestants on the reality show face a barrage of fashion-related and talent challenges in their quest to win a prize package that includes a headlining spot on Logo's Drag Race Tour, a lifetime supply of Kryolan Professional Make-up and a cash prize of $75,000.

Guest judges on the upcoming third season of the show include Fantasia, Carmen Electra, Margaret Cho and Johnny Weir.
