I don't think she meant it as an insult. She just meant that Taylor is a pop singer meaning she sings music that is incredibly POPular with everyone and not just people who are fans of country music. Pop music is basically popular music. It could come from country artists too, its just rare when it does. It probably was meant to be a compliment and not meant to be shady at all tbh.

No problem with Miranda saying this she makes some of the most country sounding music out there and she along with Alan Jackson and George Strait are some of the few in country music who could call someone pop without being a hypocrite so I have no problems with her saying that plus she praised Taylor as well so Miranda me and you are still cool

I truly do think at the core Taylor is country, she is no different than Faith Hill, Shania Twain, Carrie Underwood or the like. At the core of their music it is very much the definition of country, songs that tell a story (yes most songs do but, not in the same way a country song does) but they have pop sensibilities that have let them cross over. It doesn't make them a pop singer.
