Alright. No way. Fist of all she does NOT look like a rat. You used a picture of her blowing a kiss... not fair. And secondly, she's got a cool, unique voice. I don't know what kind of pubescent boys you've been hanging around with... Or what you sounded like going thru puberty.... But I did not sound like taylor swift. If I did, I would not be wasting my time on this post. I'd be listening to my PLATINUM record and bathing in money.

I really admire her for two reasons: Firstly: she's helping lead a country revival. Combining country sounds with catchy pop melodies and lyrics, bringing country slowly into the mainstream. Secondly: she's actually a decent person, unlike so many other faces in music.

As for my call on the most annoying person in music, i'd have to say right now it'd be jason derulo (the 'whatchya say' guy). His entire song is based on an imogen heap song. The chorus isn't even his for crying out loud!!! I can't respect a "musician" who rises to fame by stealing someone elses song. I'm ok with a little sampling here and there, but this is too far.

I really doubt that. You aren't considering the hundreds of musicians with more talent and creativity than Taylor Swift who happen to sound like her that just didn't succeed commercially like she did. It's incredibly ignorant to think that she has done so solely on her "cool, unique voice". It is more likely that through some astronomical irregularity she was spotted by a record company as someone who could sell a million records, recorded an album controlled by that company, and then sold a million records, talent aside.

Secondly, Country has been in the mainstream for years, and it is consistently some of the worst music out there. Mainstream country artists today like Rascall Flatts and Tim McGraw shame the great country stars of yesteryear, such as the genius Townes Van Zandt, Gram Parsons, and Johnny Cash.

Lastly, you have no idea how "decent" a person she is. The media wants to portray her that way, so she comes off that way. I'm not saying that she's a bad person, but you can't base your opinion of her on what you see and hear on the news.

and you're not considering the hundreds of mainstream musicians with absolutely no talent that somehow rank among taylor swift.

also, i'm not talking about "mainstream country" I'm talking abt mainstream mainstream. Like music you'd regularly hear on a pop music station. I agree that you can't compare Tim McGraw or any of these guys to legends like Johnny Cash.

And also I can base my opinion of her on what I see and hear on the news. How else am i supposed to have an opinion of her? I don't know her. I can't go to her house and see what she's like off the record. But I can judge her to be a decent person from what i hear of her. It'd be perfectly easy for her to make a fool of herself (just look at britney spears or kanye west at the vma's). Taylor swift has wisdom and self control...something that's always been lacking in the music world. It doesn't matter how greatly managed you are. When your in that kind of limelight you can't hide. And the media tries to make her look bad and tarnish her clean image. but shes on the ball. gotta give her some credit. I admire her. I'm sick of all these crappy immoral artists. If we're gonna put someone on a podium, it might as well be a taylor swift.
