Bill Pike, CEO of Fried Green Apps (the company behind the technology), responded after hearing the news, "This is quite an honor, and I appreciate the recognition from Billboard.

It's really going to change they way we all enjoy our favorite artists and bands."

Mix Me In2 Taylor Swift features the revolutionary Interactive Music technology that enables fans to feel as if they were in the studio with Swift and her band. By tapping on band members playing on a stage, they can listen to unreleased versions of her songs, change music styles (such as to an urban, an acoustic and a rock style), and even add their own voices and instruments to songs. And every song – even the custom mixes – play in any MP3 player, such as an iPod and iPhone.
The app is available in Apple's iTunes App Store or by visiting www.taylormix.com
