Taylor Swift Shows Off Bikini Bod in Australia

The 22-year-old country queen took a break from her Speak Now concert tour in Australia Thursday to splash around at Cottesloe beach in Perth showing off her curves in a retro black and white halter swimsuit.

Accessorizing her 50s-style suit with tortoiseshell sunglasses, The Lorax star wore her hair in a loose ponytail while going barefoot in the sand.

Currently hard at work on the road entertaining sold out crowds worldwide, Swift -- who saw her most recent Dr. Seuss film project break box office records this weekend -- says she wouldn't mind settling into an acting career, given the right amount of spare time.

"Acting is something I've been fascinated by my entire life," Swift -- who recorded her role for The Lorax in a voiceover booth -- told MTV. "I would want to have the time, the ability and the love for something, the love for a character to where I could really make that commitment to it."
