U.S. singer-songwriter Taylor Swift arrived in Tokyo on Wednesday. Swift, 22, is here for a short visit to promote her latest album "Red." It is her 5th visit to Japan.
Carrying a guitar case, Swift chatted briefly to about 180 fans in the arrival lobby and signed autographs and posed for cell phone photos.
Released less than a month ago, "Red" is already approaching the 2.8 million album worldwide sales mark. After debuting with music’s highest first-week album sales in over a decade, "Red" is currently in its third consecutive week in the #1 position atop Billboard’s 200 top albums chart.
Swift will appear on some TV and radio shows before returning to Los Angeles on Saturday.

supermonk, LoL! Isn't that the basis of most country songs? Add a pickup truck and some whiskey to that and presto!...a country hit is born!

More importantly - did her auto-tune unit arrive with her? Without out it that girl's singing is constantly off-pitch and out of tune.

Termed "America's girl next door", Damn, I wish she lived next door to me when I was in my 20's. She's mostly billed as a country artist but her songs have crossed over into the pops genre so much it's really hard to classify her. She draws huge crowds where ever she performs.

Taylor Swift is all good. Her style might not be for everybody, but she has real talent.

Never heard her sing, but she is pretty.
I hope she goes on one of Samma's shows.
Keep away from Beat Takeshi please.

She looks surprisingly nice and normal for a pop star.

Word has it she'll be here long enough to meet a new guy, fall in love, get her heart broken, and write a song about it... all before she gets back on the plane!!

Welcome to Japan Taylor!
For all of you dads and moms living in Japan who have children eager to tune into Taylor while she is in Japan: it looks like she will be appearing on the talk show "Sukiri" on Friday, November 23 (スッキリ！！NTV 8:00 to 10:25, http://www.ntv.co.jp/sukkiri/), and on the InterFM segment "Saturday Sound Studio" on Saturday, November 24 http://www.interfm.co.jp/taylorswift/

"Swift will appear on some TV and radio shows before returning to Los Angeles on Saturday."
I haven't watched Japanese TV in a dog's age. Who's the flavor of the month, and will he/she embarrass him/herself and the nation by acting silly with Swift? My guess is Sugi-chan's popularity is pretty much shot by now.
Anyway, enjoy your stay, Swift!
