Taylor Swift let her inner animal lover come out to play — way out — in her new music video for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." In other music news, the Backstreet Boys reunited on Good Morning America, Lady Gaga didn't mind being photoshopped beyond recognition, and Rihanna and Rob Kardashian keep on fueling those romance rumors.

• Taylor Swift dropped the music video for her latest chart-topping hit, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," and the songstress brought some furry friends out for the occasion. Directed by Declan Whitebloom, the video features Swift singing along with a band of people dressed in various animal costumes. So now she can check hanging out with Furries off her bucket list, we guess.

The music video is one continuous shot, so the country cutie had to dart around the set for a bunch of quickie costume changes. Swift told MTV, “At one point I had a breaking point where I was like, ‘I can’t do that many costume changes in that short amount of time!’ But we actually ended up being able to do it.”

Press play to check out the video for "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," which also has TSwift sporting black-framed hispter glasses as she tells off her on-again/off-again beau, who maybe sorta resembles Jake Gyllenhaal. You be the judge.

Update: If the embedded video above doesn't work, you can head on over to MTV.com to watch the music video.

• Earlier this month, 98 Degrees reunited for the first time in a decade on the Today show.
Today, Good Morning America has gotten in on the boy band reunion fad and hosted the Backstreet Boys. Yep, Backstreet's back…alright! It was the first time all five guys, Nick Carter, A.J. McClean, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, andKevin Richardson, have reunited professionally since 2006. 

Of course, they started off with their hit "Incomplete" and also busted out "I Want It That Way" and "Everybody (Backstreet's Back)." While they haven't exactly held up as well in the looks department as the clean-cut dudes of 98 Degrees, their vocals didn't disappoint. And that's a good thing, considering they're putting together an album, due out next spring, to celebrate their 20th anniversary together!

• Lady Gaga got the airbrush treatment for her cover spot on the September issue of Vogue. The final product showed a slimmed down version of Mother Monster's body, plus her wild hair and blemishes had all been given the Photoshop treatment. Despite the predictable media outcry ("Is this airbrushing too extreme or is all fair in the name of high fashion?" asked theNew York Post), Gaga seemed quite pleased with the final result. "I'm a cover girl, and it's fab," she tweeted.

The star also pointed out that she's "channeling Fozzie Bear" with her wild mane in the image, which is funny because her new puppy's name is Fozzi. 

• The Rihanna and Rob Kardashian romance rumors show no signs of slowing down. After the two went go-karting then clubbing Saturday night, more "sources" have come forward with juicy tidbits about the supposed new relationship. One Us Weekly insider said: "They were sitting closely at the club, whispering in each other's ears and clearly flirting." Another added that they've been "flirting for a while." 

What's more fascinating than Rob and Rihanna is the fact that there's a chance that, someday,Kim Kardashian could be Kanye West's wife and Rihanna's sister-in-law. 

• R&B star Ne-Yo paid tribute to Michael Jackson last night by covering his eyes with a hat and performing slick renditions of "Smooth Criminal" and "The Way You Make Me Feel" at NYC's Gotham Hall. Covering two of the best pop songs ever is a bold task. But we gotta say, dude impressed. Press play to check it out.
