Taylor Swift

It is interesting how music can draw out mood. I was having quite a good evening today, chicken burgers and hash browns for dinner, last few episodes of The Wire ( I am about to get to THE last one ever soon), jumped on the computer to check the emails and blog. My new favourite website is Spotify, the genius is that I can check out anything I want to listen to knowing it is a) free and b) not going to mess up my computer if I listen to it free. So today in Y10 media we were talking music and the name Taylor Swift came up. I had heard of her before but not actually listened.....Seriously, I love my country music but this is damn depressing. The most depressing this is that such a young girl is so unhappy. Country music is meant to be sung by old men who have had too much whiskey too many times, broken too many hearts and lost jobs too many ways, or my women who have been jilted, jolted or knocked around. It is not meant to be sung by girls who aren't even old enough to buy a drink in thier own country.....

Sorryy... but i got to disagree with you on this one. I'm loving her music especially 'Love Story'. That track is pretty awesome, well the words are nice. :)

Taylor Swift perfectly embodies everything that's wrong with "sell-out" musicians, that and she's just plain crap. "Love Story" makes me want to spontaneously vomit until I end up puking up my own stomach.

I agree with gem
she sings about happy times in her life such as 'Love Story' which is a good song. Over played but still good. But just as all other artists she sings about heart break and other matters personal to her. Take a well known band such as blink 182, they sing about breaking up, and girls. Yes not in such a depressing way but that is because of the music in the background. Which makes it jolly. I don't no i think kenny rogers is much worse. Nothing happy comes out of his lips
