Chely Wright has married girlfriend Lauren Blitzer just a little over a year after the country music star came out about being a lesbian and revealed just how painful that confession was in the world of country music. 
 
 Wright, who has posted wedding photos on Twitter of herself and Blitzer in white gowns, announced to the world in May 2010 that she was a lesbian. 
 
 "Country music would rather an artist be a drunk -- they even encourage and endorse that one," Wright said in an interview with the Los Angeles Times' Geoff Boucher shortly after she came out. 
 
 "You get good money from Jim Beam to put that emblem on the side of your bus. I was on the Crown Royal tour, and I have to say it was one of my favorite tours. They would rather you were a drug addict than be gay. They will forgive you if you beat your wife, lose your kids to state, get six divorces, make a sex tape, get labeled as a tramp — any and all of it is better than being gay." 
 
 After the honeymoon, Wright will see how the latest turn in her personal life has affected her career. 
 
 In an interview earlier this year with the blog Autostraddle, Wright said coming out "didn't help my career." 
 
 A January article in the Tennessean said that Wright’s sales were down about two-thirds from her last studio album and noted that she had shifted her focus from country music to Americana. 
 
 But Saturday was a day of celebration for the 40-year-old singer and Blitzer, 30, an LGBT activist. The couple married at the home of Blitzer’s aunt in Connecticut. 
 
 On Sunday, Wright's Twitter account was filled with congratulations from fans: 
 
 "Congratulations on your big day tomorrow! Wishing you a long and joyful life together. (@MaddiesCorner)” 
 
 "congrats lady!!!! Wishing you and your love so much happiness! (from @AudraEqualityMc)” 
 
 A comment she made last year is fitting given this weekend's celebration: "I feel like I'm floating," Wright said after coming out. "It's like my friends who are in the know, which are not many, and my family members who know, which isn't all of them, are lifting me up to get through this."

 LOS ANGELES | 
 
 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Country pop singer Taylor Swift hit back at comedians Tina Fey and Amy Poehler for mocking her love life at Hollywood's Golden Globe Awards this year, calling the jab sexist in an interview with magazine Vanity Fair on Tuesday. 
 
 During the awards broadcast, hosts Fey and Poehler threw a barb at the singer, telling her to "stay away" from actor Michael J. Fox's 23-year-old son. 
 
 The Grammy-winning singer is well known for documenting her personal relationships in her songs, often leaving little clues in the lyrics that hint at the subject. 
 
 She has been linked to high profile celebrities such as John Mayer, Jake Gyllenhaal, Taylor Lautner, Joe Jonas and more recently, Conor Kennedy and One Direction's Harry Styles. 
 
 In the Vanity Fair interview, Swift, 23, responded to the Golden Globes incident by citing a saying told to her by talk show host Katie Couric that "there's a special place in hell for women who don't help other women." 
 
 "For a female to write about her feelings, and then be portrayed as some clingy, insane, desperate girlfriend in need of making you marry her and have kids with her, I think that's taking something that potentially should be celebrated - a woman writing about her feelings in a confessional way - that's taking it and turning it and twisting it into something that is frankly a little sexist," Swift said. 
 
 Swift's latest hit "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was presumed to be about Gyllenhaal while "I Knew You Were Trouble" is said to be about Mayer. 
 
 Swift, who notably refuses to reveal details of her personal life, didn't name any names herself in the interview, but said "since 2010 I have dated exactly two people," referring to Kennedy and Styles. 
 
 According to Vanity Fair, Swift gave permission for an unnamed source to speak about her relationships in more detail, revealing that Styles, 19, had "chased" Swift for a year and "wore her down" into dating him. 
 
 The relationship ended after Styles was photographed kissing another woman, but he "pursued her for the better part of a year until she finally took him back," the source said. 
 
 Swift, who became a teenage darling within the country-pop scene for her raw, honest and catchy songs, has seen her music slowly becoming overshadowed by the spotlight cast on her private life. 
 
 "I'm dealing with a little bit of a chaotic media circus right now ... But there's also a lesson in all this ... In knowing that you can live your life in a way that you're proud of and people are still gonna take shots," Swift said. 
 
 The full interview will appear in Vanity Fair's April issue, out in New York and Los Angles on Thursday and nationally on March 12.

– She probably didn't make $17.9 million doing it, but country crooner Chely Wright has gotten married to girlfriend Lauren Blitzer a year after coming out on the cover of People magazine. The pair wed yesterday in Connecticut, and Wright's Twitter account was abuzz with photos of the two women in their dresses and congratulations from fans. Wright has said that admitting she was gay "didn't help my career," and the LA Times notes that sales of her most recent album had dropped by two-thirds over its predecessor.
