If it were me, I'd say f the little girls. I think that's Taylor's biggest problem. Her core audience is little girls and their parents. So she has to be as conservative as possible-which kinda sucks. She has to be as tame as possible with her image and her love songs.
I just think she'd be wiser to go in a more Joni Mitchell/Stevie Nicks direction than a Kesha direction.
But that's just me. I can totally see where you're coming from.
