Michelle Obama Will Present Award to Taylor Swift

Not only has Taylor Swift received numerous nominations for the Kids Choice Awards, she is also the recipient of one very special award.

Taylor is receiving the Big Help Award for all of her philanthropic efforts and it will be presented to her by none other than Michelle Obama!

Michelle received the Big Help Award herself back in 2010, so it’s only fitting that she be the one to present Taylor with this years award.

Taylor has worked with the Make A Wish Foundation, St. Jude Medical Center, Habitat for Humanity and has assisted with U.S. tornado and flood relief.

This is such a big award to receive and we couldn’t be prouder that Taylor has earned it!

Tune in to the Kids Choice Awards on Nickelodeon on March 31st to see Taylor presented with this honorable award!

Fashion Designer Jason Wu Debuts Line for Target!

Fashion Designer Jason Wu is launching a new Spring 2012 line with Target on Sunday.

Jason Wu’s designs are worn by celebrities such as Emma Stone, Blake Lively, Lea Michele, Leighton Meester, Emma Watson and Michelle Obama.

Target collaborated with Missoni in September 2011 to release a designer collection that customers went into a frenzy for! The line was supposed to last for six weeks but the store sold out before the end of the day and crashed the online website.

Hopefully Jason’s line will last long enough for some of us to get a look at it! If you are eager to nab some of his collection, you’d better hit the stores early on Sunday while everyone else is gearing up for the Superbowl!

Check out the gallery below to see some of Jason Wu’s designs for Target.

Guess Who is Joining the iParty! Michelle Obama!

Michelle Obama is going to be on an episode of Nickelodeon’s iCarly!

Now this is something we can’t miss!

The episode is going to air sometime in January but we already have a sneak peak into what the episode is going to be about!

In the iCarly episode, Carly and her friends get into some trouble when they try to arrange a web chat between Carly and her dad. Unfortunately they break some major rules since he’s in the military serving overseas.

Good thing Michelle Obama is there “to have a chat with them in the most positive way possible,” says network president Cyma Zarghami.

It’s part of Obama’s initiative for raising awareness of Joining Forces, an “initiative aimed at increasing awareness and support for military families.”

If you haven’t already checked it out, click here to watch our exclusive footage at the iParty with Miranda Cosgrove and Victoria Justice!

Sweety High Joins The Effort To ‘Stop Bullying’

The N.E.A. (The National Education Association) consists of 3.2 million members, and in April of 2010 this super-force came together to draft a survey that would help speak to the bullying epidemic that was sweeping the nation.

Of this survey, they found that, “Over 40 percent of respondents indicated that bullying was a moderate or major problem in their school, with 62 percent indicating that they witnessed two or more incidents of bullying in the last month, while 41 percent witnessed bullying once a week or more. Although more teachers (45%) than ESPs (35%) indicated that a student reported bullying to them within the past month, all staff members equally indicated that parents had reported bullying to them (16%).”

These numbers are raising at an alarming rate, but with this alarm comes hope– President Obama, and First Lady Michelle Obama are now actively joining the fight to help stamp out cyber bullying and bullying as a whole. Today they addressed the entire nation via StopBullying.gov, and had some beyond touching things to say.

“This isn’t an issue that makes headlines everyday but it effects every single young person in our country and its something that we care about not only as president and first lady but also as parents.”

At Sweety High we are huge advocates of online safety and we believe it is important to educate our youth about the dangers of bullying. We can not stress enough how important it is to put an end to this, and we are ecstatic that the Obamas are getting involved. Watch some of our PSA’s right here on A Sweet Beat, and stay tuned for special safety posts later this week.
