Taylor Swift has asked for soft furnishings from Santa this Christmas. The 'Love Story' singer - who has just moved out of her parents' home and bought her own place in Nashville, Tennessee - says the only gifts she is asking for are soft furnishings to decorate her home.

The 19-year-old star said: "I have just bought my first home in Nashville. So I will go out soon, and live alone for the first time in my life. "I'd like many cushions, curtains, bedding and picture frames for my new apartment".

She added: "If I find some free time in London, I would like to buy furniture and accessories. I've heard that there are great ones in the Portobello Road antique shops. "Taylor also revealed that her father - who was once a Christmas tree salesman - loved the festive time of year so much, that the whole family went overboard decorating the house every year. She said: "Christmas here at home is always a big celebration. Each room is decorated; I'm looking forward to it."
