Thread: The Taylor Swift Country Music Awards

^^ I really don't think she will. She is a straight arrow thus far and seems to be extremely level-headed. I know lots of people who know her and the family and she is the real deal. No dirt out there and I think it will stay that way.

MWC, you are good. D2 is 16, she knows most of Taylor's songs. D1 is 20 and she is not interested.

Uh oh! He might be the subject of her next song.

My reasoning for saying that it 'catapulted' her to more fame is that there are probably a lot of people who had never really been exposed to her. After that incident, I really began to wonder who she was, what she was about and I took of notice my daughter humming her songs. Yep, maybe I live under a rock - but, folks I work with sort of had the same revelation...sort of wow isn't she cute, what does she sing, etc. I am sure...

MOWC--I couldn't identify a Kanye song eiither. OTOH, I listen to alt country, but I don't run into Taylor there.

MOWC - She is OUR Taylor Swift! LOL! We love her here in PA since she was born and grew up here. Her mom moved her to Nashville when she was 13 so she could be a star and what a star she is! JHS - you are of course correct - Taylor writes her own songs (who does that anymore?!) and has been writing songs since she was about 10. She has the "look" and the talent. Her monologue on SNL was hilarious and demonstrates he ability...

We also think Taylor Swift is adorable. My 15 year old likes her songs as the lyrics tell stories that relate to her in hs. She is not the best singer, but she is a very good entertainer. DD also thinks she has the cutest boyfriend around (Taylor Lautner).

My H even likes Taylor Swift and he doesn't like country music. (We fight over the car radio station all the time.) He says her looks remind him of Renee Zellweger - not classically pretty, but making it work for her. But we both think she writes well - probably wouldn't make it on her voice alone, but her songs are appealing.

I saw that performance last night where she threw the chair. That was the first time I've ever seen or heard her. I think she's lovely, but it didn't seem that she could sing at all.

She's a sensational songwriter (or she has sensational helpers, but I tend to believe it's her). She's not a sensational singer, or even sensationally beautiful, but she's tall, blonde, has great hair, and manages to project genuine emotion and enjoyment when she performs. I was watching that show intermittently last night (cooking dinner, then after Glee); for the most part, the performances were complete snoozers. The...
