I just want to state, that Taylor Swift DID NOT play the 2008 Republican Convention. She was in London, England. Check your facts, don’t just restate rumors.

[...] “I’ve already shared some of my qualms with you: that I feel her win represents a sinister endorsement of mediocrity/Wonderbread, that it means Digestible beat Daring and I prefer daring, that I’m irked by her consistent inability to recognize more deserving nominees in her acceptance speeches, and that her entitlement to a blatantly untrue ‘fairy tale’ narrative tastes disingenuous and cheap.” “Listen up; if I ever get my life together enough to reproduce other life forms, they will not be joining Taylor Nation – they will be brave, creative, inventive, envelope-pushing little monsters who will find a pretty, skinny white blonde girl in a white peasant shirt strolling through nature-themed screensaver-esque fantasylands singing about how “when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them” not only sappy, but also insulting to their inevitable brilliance.” “It goes without saying — because, of course, no one wants to say it — that Swift was able to succeed so early ’cause her family was both supportive & wealthy enough to enable her ambitions. Swift had dreams, she chased ‘em, and she got ‘em; all before puberty! That’s not a Cinderella story, that’s more or less the most awesome childhood of all time.” “Swift’s songwriting is as thematically ambitious as a 15-year-old’s LiveJournal, which is to say, like a 15-year-old’s LiveJournal, it never strives for thematic weight or challenges ideas not already covered by Sweet Valley High or The Children’s Illustrated Bible.” test Filed under Music, Reviews | Tags: Beyonce, Grammys, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift | Comment (0) [...]

Winners at the Grammys sell lots of records. Taylor Swift sold lots of records. This math is not difficult to process.

I just have a funny story. I see a physical therapist/massage therapist regularly.. this was our conversation today. She’s a straight (theoretically) mom of 2, but young and so cool.

her: “Did you watch the Grammy’s?”
me: “Most of it”
her: “Did you stop at the part where Taylor Swift sang her own song flat the whole way through and forced Stevie to sing backup, or the part where she stole the Album of the Year Award?”
me: “Dude, Gaga so deserved that. and Taylor sang so bad!!”
her: “We turned it off after that performance. Is that even country? If I were Stevie I would have probably shot myself when they asked me.”
me: “Seriously. and Lady Gaga got robbed.. 4 number one hits!!”
her: “She’s awesome. Did you see Pink’s performance? Oh my god”
me: “Oh my god, so good!! She should be in Cirque di Solei or something”
her: “I know, right? My husband was like, ‘I have to record this so I can watch it later. Is she lip-syncing?’ and I was like ‘Even if she is, it’s still amazing because A) you can’t tell ’cause she’s so good, and B) she’s doing those circus acts.”

love her! There was a lot more Gaga/Pink gushing in that convo… but it was nothing new.

“I wish they’d included Effy in the Skins lesbian storyline as well. In my head, they did.”

This. In the first few eps of series 3 she did seem a little queer to me. Maybe it was just wishful thinking, but she was always giving the ladies a look.

No, this really isn’t country music!

Johnny Cash/Patsy Cline/Roy Clark, that was country music. Garth Brooks/George Strait/Trisha Yearwood/The Judds, that was country music. This is something else, and it’s terrible. Taylor Swift is to country what Avril Lavigne is to pop music, a terrible stain on the genre.

The Dixie Chicks (god love ‘em) fucking nailed it in Long Time Gone…

“Now they sound tired but they don’t sound Haggard. They’ve got money but they don’t have Cash. They got Junior but they don’t have Hank, I think, I think, I think. The rest is a long time gone.”

This is fucking depressing, really.
