Monte Lipman, president and chief executive of Universal Republic Records, which joined with Big Machine to work Ms. Swift’s records to pop radio, said: “We don’t want to alienate country radio at all because we’ve found pop success. Scott is always superserving the country marketplace first, and we work for him.”
Mr. Borchetta said that country radio would always be the top priority. “They’re always going to get the singles first, always going to be first in line at the meet-and-greets,” he said. “We overthink everything.One thing we can’t do is chase the moving target of pop radio. It could be all emo next year, all urban next year.”
No one much complains when a rapper or indie rocker crosses over to the pop charts, but a country singer perceived as trying to go pop can still raise eyebrows. Nashville remains a fiercely hermetic town and is unusually protective, or possessive, of its own.
“I’m not about to snub the people who brought me to the party,” said Ms. Swift, who when she speaks of her plan to manage her crossover fame sounds like a well-seasoned executive. “We went back and studied other cases where it had failed every way that it can fail, and we tried to avoid those things.”
One thing we can’t do is chase the moving target of pop radio. oh Scott.
What happened to BTD music video? Suddenly, it has few views, and when I checked home page, it's uploaded 18 hours ago
I think they uploaded the video with the international version of the song...the US one is still there though...i wonder if this has to do with the VMAs encounter with Taylor
I didnt really pay much attention to Taylor before but now Ive just ,been doing all my studying and receipt reading and I have SOOO much respect for her now. She is a true artist. Anyone who disagrees can go to hell
"If you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name. Tell them how the crowds went wild, tell them how I hope they shine."
