Glad to see that most of the commentors are finally seeing Taylor past the media's portrayal of her.

It’s Taylor trying to look like she’s country with teased 80s hair and makeup. Apparently the ACMs need the publicity involved in inviting her to their little shindig. Odd, since the Grammys have wisened up to the fact that she’s a massively autotuned pop act and such.

You realize Taylor is actually country right? That’s where she started and what she still identifies as, not a pop artist but a country artist.

Really? Go ask some legit country folk whether or not weasely tone deaf whining about your boyfriends by a Yankee rich girl stockbroker’s daughter is country. She’s twangy crossover pop at best. Taylor Swift will identify as and with whatever makes her money. Exhibit A: a screeching Top 40 screed entitled “We Are Never, Ever, Ever, Getting Back Together. Like, Ever.”

She even she says she’s not country in interviews anymore. She says she’s a mix if everything. I travel and do notice different areas of the country play different versions of the same songs…especially in the high country radio areas of the USA. Some are more pop and some are more twangy versions- which is why people probably view her so different. She plays the game really well.
All the looks are super retro…Taylor’s top reminds me of Shania twain so that made me laugh.

@Stars Despite your opinion of T.Swift, she did get her start in country music and she still is a country singer, and obviously a lot of her songs are considered pop/country but not all. She may not have the best voice but she is a talented song writer. I don’t really see where she is from or what her parents do for a living has to do with whether she can claim to be a country singer or not.

“Yankee?!?!?” I didn’t even know people were still using that term. I guess it’s because I’m from Ohio. It’s just always so weird.

I wonder who else would be allowed to throw a few countryesque tracks on a pop music album and get away with still claiming to be country? Notice they took the publicity for her being there, but that she did not perform, nor did she WIN anything. Same with the Grammys. She was clearly going for Top 40 dominance with her last album.
Real country is/was about the genuine experiences and culture of people in certain parts of America who, to say the least, were not aligned with economic or urban privilege. Like it or not, she is the Pennsylvania daughter of a stockbroker and C-level executive whose parents’ money moved her down south to begin a career singing in a fake southern accent in a genre that has nothing to do with her life experience. THAT’S what her background has to do with her being a country singer.

Hahahah HH, I’m actually from NYC myself. I’m just using it for rhetorical effect because it’s the truth. And if you venture deep enough into the south, yup, people still use it, and not just to talk about baseball either!
