Swift's Heart Hands
![<span style="font-size: small;">Taylor Swift is well known for her “heart-hand” gesture that she uses in pictures and to communicate to her audience in concert. But, she’s not the only one flashing the symbol around in the media. Stars like Janet Jackson, Usher, Lady Gaga and Taylor’s good friend Katy Perry have all been photographed doing the “heart-hand” move. Taylor explains to the <em>New York Times </em>that the symbol is <em>“something between ‘I love you’ and ‘Thank you.’” </em>She says she started doing “heart hands” in pictures and out car windows back in high school. Now she uses it to express her love for her fans. <em>“It’s not like meeting a stranger, it’s sort of like saying hello to someone that I already know is on the same page with me. And I just feel so thankful to have that understanding between us. I just have so much fun with them. They’re incredibly cool people and I’m really happy that I get to spend the summer with them.”</em> The <em>Speak Now World Tour </em>continues in the U.S. through November. The tour picks back up again March 2012 in Australia and New Zealand.</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2011-08/63983903-15041201.jpg "<span style="font-size: small;\">Taylor Swift is well known for her “heart-hand” gesture that she uses in pictures and to communicate to her audience in concert.
